Hi all. I've been sending my emails to this email address of USC Law admissions@law.usc.edu, but have not receive any reply so far. Could you please share the email address that they're using? Thanks.

How often should I take a practice test? I am following the 7sage syllabus and have only taken a practice test once where it was a part of the syllabus. The practice test was form 2007.

Does anybody have the LSAT score percentiles for 2022. I know a 166 is 90th percentile. The percentiles are updated every year but I can't find the updated version.

-Can someone explain how D is wrong, and how A is correct?

Looking for advice on whether I should send GRE or LSAT. If I send GRE, I would cancel my LSAT score.

Me: I attended an Ivy League school and graduated magna cum laude. I work in a gov. job with name recognition. I have been out of school for five years. I think I have a compelling story and am a POC. Standardized testing has never been my strong suit, but I think my GPA/awards show I can succeed in a demanding academic environment. I also took a law course at the T-14 law school during my undergrad. Hoping to pursue a public interest law career.

LSAT: 158

GRE: Verbal (164, 94th), Quant (154, 47th), Writing: 5 (91st)

I'm open to retesting in January, but because I'm working full-time I want to be realistic about how much I can improve.

My read of recent news is that schools are starting to move away from weighing standardized test scores as highly as they have in the past. Seems like there is interest in recruiting more diverse candidates interested in public service. Wondering if these factors might also sway my calculus.

What would you do?

why isnt the answer c here? it states that precision is preferred and class is imprecise so itsn't it supported that the social sciences should use more precise terms?

Hey guys I could use some advice. I've been on the fence about signing up for my LSAT in either January or February and I am currently scoring between 159-161 with my BR ranging from 165 - 167. My goal score is a 165 but I'm not sure how far out in advance I should sign up for the test as this will be my very first one. Do I go ahead and sign up and aim to make the necessary improvements between now and Jan/Feb or wait until I've done so with my PT's? I'm also not sure what my study plan should look like between now and then if I do go ahead and sign up. I plan on applying for the next cycle so I am not in a rush to get my score sent to any schools right now. Any helpful advice about testing dates and study plans would be greatly appreciated!

Hi! Are you at the begining of your lsat journey or its finally STARTING to make sense for you (emphasize on starting)? If yes, consider becoming my study buddy or study group!! I live in CT (and would be happy to study in-person near Milford. I'd also be okay virtual meets.)

I'm looking for a study buddy or to form a small study group (4-5 people max). I'd like someone to study with, discuss and work through questions, and keep each other accountable. I'm available weekends and usually evenings weekday.

Comment if interested and we'll get started.

I applied to CLS/Chi quite a few times about 3-5 years ago, last time in 2019-2020 cycle.

I used PS-1 the first time and a different PS-2 in later apps over a few years.

Since then my score has expired and I retook this Oct.

All my other application material (Recs, Resume etc) is pretty much the same. I can't get another rec from elsewhere.

Is it ok to reuse the PS, or do I need to write an entirely "fresh" one?

What if I reuse PS-1 which wasn't the latest PS i reapplied with earlier, how much difference would it make compared to writing a new one?

I did not chose D because it has the word 'interest'. But to me this sounded superficial as oppose to beneficial. I chose E because it shows the exact correlation between the two, but i did think it was a strong statement. Can somebody help?

Is it bad to have multiple score cancellations/ worse than scoring lower on your second test? I cancelled my first score in August of 2021, scored a 155 in November 2022, and now scored worse than a 155 (151) and do not know if I should cancel this score because of the decrease, or not worry because will the schools only care about my 155? I have only 24 hours left to decide to cancel or not and am so so so confused as to what to do... PLEASE HELP! Any advice GREATLY appreciated!!!!

7Sagers,

"Building Boards" with Raphael Piliero is cancelled this evening due to extenuating circumstances. Sorry for the inconvenience. Raphael's class will resume at its normal time next week.

So in the last 3 weeks (after 3 months of diligently studying the 7sage CC) I have scored the following:

89: 166 | 80: 164 | 62: 178 | 69: 172 | 82: 167

..aand I'm officially freaked out that the LR wording changes/increased difficulty beginning in the 80s are throwing me, as my RC and LG are both a lot more consistent ( RC -2-4ish and LG -0-2). Has anyone else noticed this in their scores and, if so, what did you do to try to counteract? Since PT80 I've been prioritizing wrong answer journaling, which feels like it's helping a lot, but perhaps to the detriment of more consistent drilling? I'm taking January and would obviously love to crack the elusive 17x barrier in ten weeks. I've been saving the 80s and 90s for the home stretch - but any advice is welcome before I trudge onwards.. #help

Just trying to prepare for the upcoming Nov LSAT score release....it was my second time taking the LSAT. First score was solid and good enough for most schools on my list but wanted to take Nov to improve a few points. Feeling like I did okay but always preparing for the worst—in the event that I ended up getting a lower score, should I cancel the second score??? Does whether I should cancel or not depend on how much worse the second score is? Any advice is welcome!

Taking the January test, looking for a study group. I don't go to UNCW so I've just been going solo for a bit.

Hi everyone,

This is my 2nd week of studying for the February test and I just feel like nothing is clicking. Once it gets a bit complicated, my brain just goes haywire. I've taken a diagnostic test and got 141 :( But the thing is...my brain is telling me this test shouldn't be hard to understand 😪

I'm going through sage's syllabus and have done some drills but I am just overwhelmed by everything that is offered and do not know what works and doesn't work. I would watch the explanation videos and understand it but then it goes out the field once I start practicing on my own. I work full time so I try to study at least 2-3 hours for at least 6 days of the week to prevent burnout but I just don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Do any of you have tips for me? Please help. I've considered getting a 7sage tutor but don't know if that will help if I've only been studying for 1 full week.

I recently took a PT untimed and got a 170. I am looking to meet anyone living in Seoul to meet and talk about the LSAT and maybe deal with whatever we can. I know how to approach and study for the test now but we can maybe meet and talk about what we can do to improve. I think essentially it is productive to meet offline and talk about this. We can meet at Wing Study Café at Exit 9 of Gangnam station. They charge 1,900 KRW per hour for each person. In other words, if we meet for three hours, the cost would be 5,700 KRW per person. I can also tutor for free if anyone is just starting and want to learn the basics of the LSAT. If we meet for a tutoring, we would divide the cost of using the study café 1/n. In other words, no need to pay me anything other than the fee for using the study café for yourself. Please send me an inbox. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

Due to connection issue, we will have to cancel today's Beating Curvebreakers with Raphael. Join Raphael's class again on January 5th.

My two body paragraphs were complete. Yet, I did not finish my conclusion. Will this be to my disadvantage?

Hi all:

I just took my LSAT Writing Sample and, though it went well, I am concerned about the formatting in the interface. As I was writing, I was able to skip a line between each paragraph. However, when the submission screen showed me my essay, the skipped lines were gone so that it seemed like a block of text. It still needs to be processed, so I am wondering if anyone has faced a similar issue or if it gets taken care of on the back end.

With this question, i was trying to find the conclusion to break down this question and I had a difficult time with what the answer should look like ' and what kind of support would be the correct answer.

Hello,

My name is Ken Kim. We are a group of Koreans and Korean-Americans planning to take the LSAT either this October or in a couple of years. We have members scoring from 160-175 either on the official test or practice tests. Some of us are committed full-time to the test while some of us are working at a company, law firm, etc. We meet on the following date at the Gangnam station Exit 9 Wing Study Cafe.

2:00 pm-5:00 pm, Sunday

We usually meet and do questions from LR and RC. We match our answers and discuss why each one of us have chosen an answer we chose. The fee for joining the study is free other than paying for the studying cafe fee which is 1,900 KRW per person for each hour (5,700 KRW total).

If you are interested, please send me a message to my inbox. I will direct you further. Thanks!

Answer is C: I actually eliminated C pretty quickly on the grounds that the answer choice alleges the ethical principle does not help the journalist, whereas Anita states that the guidance is inadequate. If something is inadequate, I take that to mean it is insufficient for achieving a purpose. However, something can be inadequate but still help in a situation. If I say "the water from one fire hose is inadequate for putting out the forest fire," it doesn't mean that the water from the one fire hose does not help in extinguishing the fire. It most definitely helps, but is insufficient to achieve that purpose.

Can someone tell me why answer choice C is correct? I ended up eliminating every answer choice in this question and just guessed since I was stumped.

Hi - trying to look through previous discussions / on the LSAT website but couldn't find a clear answer. I have blank paper but it's yellow. Is that okay, or does the blank paper have to be white? Thanks in advance!
