Hello! I am looking for a study buddy that is committed to meeting at least two times per week. I am willing to study any section, but I would like to focus a good bit of time on Logic Games. I am taking the August LSAT. I can meet virtually. I can also meet in person under the right circumstances (i.e: public, covid friendly, and in the Philadelphia region). Please only respond if you can commit!

Thank You

Nadiyah!

Is there anyone in the Philadelphia area that is interested in doing a Study Group? I am taking the August 2021 LSAT and looking for a study buddy/buddies to review PTs and individual sections with. I have a pretty open schedule during the summer months!

Has anyone applied, what score got you in, how are scholarships, anyone on campus? What is the culture like?

Is there anyone around Salisbury, MD looking for a study partner for the August 2021 LSAT?

I really need help with answer choice A because it seems perfectly fine to me. Is this answer choice incorrect because the argument against internal relations in paragraph 4 stated that "to truly know an entity, we must know all of its relationships?" Is this not the same thing as "defining the entities of which the system is composed?" I thought they were the same thing because if scientists had to define each and every relationship the entities in the system had, wouldn't that mean all entities would have to ultimately be identified and that was why the author had an issue with internal relations? but if I am wrong, I would like to know. And is A supported by the passage even if it is the incorrect answer choice for this particular question?

And this is more of a general question but are organicism and internal relations two separate, but related concepts?

Hi all, I have been getting the error:

**An error has occurred processing your request.

I followed all the FAQ fixes for this issue, tried different computers, restarting, clearing everything etc. and still have been getting this error. Has anybody else gotten this error?

I am curious if there is any data out there that people have compiled showing that specific question types take longer than others. If I could guess, I am sure that parallel MOR and parallel flaw MOR questions would certainly take more time just because of the length of the ACs. Beyond that, I am not entirely sure. I have noticed a trend with RRE question target times being higher than something like MBT questions, for example. I would like to use this data to create a skipping strategy of sorts.

I applied to multiple schools during the 2019 application cycle. I got accepted to several schools I was interested in and waitlisted at my top choice. Unfortunately the summer of 2019 my situation changed and I was unable to attend law school in the fall. My Dad had a heart attack, I had a back injury and lost feeling in one of my legs, and because of my missed work I couldn't afford to pay for a move to another state. I contacted the school where I had made my deposit and asked to defer. Unfortunately in spring of 2020 I injured my back again and a few weeks later my boyfriend was diagnosed with cancer. I'm currently not working and staying home as a caretaker during his treatment. I'm trying to use this time at home to study to retake the LSAT in hopes that a higher score will be the difference between waitlisted again vs accepted at my top choice. I'm hoping to apply for fall of 2022. I spent a lot of time on my personal statement in 2019. I wrote several different versions and felt like none of them really fit me. I finally wrote a version including my time working at a wildlife rehabilitation center and my interest in environmental law that I am really happy with. I don't know if it is appropriate to reuse my personal statement when applying to the same schools. I have time to write a new personal statement but I don't think I would be as happy with a new one. Would it be appropriate to submit an application with the same personal statement or would that look lazy to the admissions team?

I don't really know what's wrong with me, but after finishing my final exam for my summer class today, I decided to do a section of RC, lol. Yesterday, I took a section of LR from PT 55, so I figured it made sense that if I were to do another section, it should also be from PT 55 (I've decided to sacrificed this one long ago).

Here are some thoughts and reflection from multiple attempts at RC to get a perfect score from an English major ... (take it with a grain of salt, maybe the terrible heat finally triggered something in me, IDK.)

0) it might be possible

TRUST YOURSELF!! This is something I so deeply struggle with on the LSAT. But if there are any fellow English majors out there, or any avid/good readers, trust yourself! I can't tell you how many times I've second-guessed myself and went with a very attractive and popular wrong answer instead. This has happened to me on BR, too (overthinking is definitely a thing on the LSAT), and on the real thing, where I change an originally correct answer to a wrong one. If you're a good reader (and you know if you are, so keep telling yourself that), I want to say your intuition is likely going to be correct. For me, like the metaphor JY uses, there was a "little spark" in my understanding that was correct, and that led me to choose the right answer, but my self-doubt and extraneous (to passage) anxious thoughts extinguishes those little blooming sparks under timed conditions.

Sometimes, you don't even have to waste time thinking through a lot of the answer choices to get to the right one. I think this especially applies to method and purpose questions (but definitely NOT parallel/analogy questions). This kind of goes with #1 and especially applies if you have a prephrase. This saves a LOT of time. You can always go through the wrong answer choices on BR and critique them and find what's wrong with them, but you probably won't have time on the real thing to do this for some questions.

When I first started using JY's methods of low to high res/memory method, I struggled a bit and saw my score drop, mostly because a lot of the times I was thinking, "are you kidding? I can read. I'm an English major!" But I kept doing it (per some redditor's advice I think), started with writing out the low-reses during testing, and then eventually not having to write things down, just reviewing in my head what I read/what the author is saying after each paragraph. Another thing I found really helpful for me was to highlight the transition words, instead of sentences/things that are more related to substance. I had trouble with keeping up with both a substance- and structure-low-reses at the same time, so I found this method (highlighting transition words) to be very helpful. It eases up the amount of things you have to keep in your head, giving you visual cues just like the diagrams you draw in LG do.

Overall, the most important thing is to keep a positive mindset and keep affirming yourself with all that you are and all that you've accomplished in your LSAT journey so far! Don't let a stupid LSAT writer trick you into thinking you were wrong. I think it's a very delicate thing to know/figure out where you actually have no idea what the right answer is, versus where you do know or have an inkling. When it's the latter, go with your "intuition." (I put scare quotes around intuition because it's not really all intuition--you've read and understood the passage.)

If there are any scorers who do extremely well on RC, please give your two cents, too! I would love to hear what you think.

Hey all, I'm feeling a little bit discouraged, and unsure on whether to take the August LSAT. I hit two 165's about a month ago, and was feeling optimistic that I would be able to make a break through either on test day or before the actual date, but my PT's have since gone down (163, and then 161, 161). If I walked out with a 167 or a 168 on test day I'd be happy.... Is it crazy to register for the August LSAT knowing that I have 6 weeks to improve a few points from my best? BR scores fluctuate from 169 to 178, so I know that somewhere in my brain, I do know the material... I also have a track record of performing better under pressure, so I feel that walking out of the test with a personal best, though unlikely, is not entirely out of the question.

I'm hoping to apply this cycle, and I'm trying to strategically pick between the August, October, and November test dates, knowing that I want to give myself the option of taking the test a few times. LG is my best section, and I'm wondering if the weight of the August test should be a factor in my decision.

Any advice or inspiration or solidarity would be greatly appreciated. I'm feeling very down on myself for poor performance these past few weeks, and I really had my heart set on applying this cycle. Do ya'll recommend just resetting expectations for next year to save myself heartache and disappointment? I just turned 25 and am feeling a little existential about being too old to start law school in another two years, and staying in a toxic job for an extra year before starting school.

Hey guys! I'm looking for a few people to form an online study group for the upcoming August LSAT. I'm in the Eastern Standard Time zone. If you're interested, let me know! Drop your email in the discussion thread or send me a message :smile:

How many of the study sets do y'all do before moving on to the next topic? I realized I should probably hold off some to come back to so I can study with them later. I'm at the point where if I get a consistent 5/5 on timed and BR I move on, but looking for feedback and any recommendations from y'all! LMK good luck studying

Looking for people in the SF Bay area to study with, discuss certain lsat items with, and overall just motivate each other for LSAT. Study techniques, frequencies, focuses, patterns, all of it. Looking to meet around a couple of hours a week up until test date.

Starting ssri's- and I just want to know whether it's prevented anyone from getting a high score on the actual test. I managed to do pretty well on the January LSAT (172) before I started medication, an am aiming for a retake in August shooting for 175+. I'm just scared that it'll totally prevent me from doing well!

Hey everyone, I was wondering how often the LSAT does weird misc games, like the subway line one on prep test 18. I'm trying to budget the remaining time I have before the August LSAT and I want to know how much priority I should give them. Are they common on the newer LSATS?

Thanks!

pretty much what's asked in the title

Anyone wants to do a study group.

Hey guys!

Here is a GroupMe link for the august LSAT if anyone is interested!

Let me know if the link doesn’t work.

In the analytics section for PTs sections are given ratings of easy, medium, difficult. I've found out that these are averaged based on the extent to which 7sagers struggle with a given section. However, isn't this meaningless since the test is designed to be standard? The range of difficulty should change much because there is no curve...thoughts?

Hey I'm working on PrepTest 33 S4 G1Q5 (among others) and I keep having issues with complicated question formats.

The general version of the wording that most trips me up is "Which of the following must be true EXCEPT" and an answers like "_____ is not 4". Individually I can deal with these, like when I have an "EXCEPT" question or negative answer choice, but together I keep going in circles.

Are there any steps I should be during to answer these questions without spending 3+ min on them?

For reference, I get -2ish on LG so I am focused on fine tuning, so skipping is something I want to avoid at this point..

Thank you in advance!

So it's been awhile since I have graduated from my undergrad. My university did not have the standard 4.0 grading system and all the courses were to be graded with credit/no credit. I am trying to use Law School Predictor on 7Sage, but without knowing my numeric GPA, I am having a difficult time selecting my options. Could someone help?

Hi, I'm having an issue and was wondering if anyone else had the same/similar problem in the past and how they've dealt with it. LSAC has given me the run around and won't "formalize, or whatever" my CAS profile until the issue is resolved, so my profile is incomplete. So if you have any ideas please let me know.

Here's the situation:

LSAC has received all my official transcripts

Transcript from school A says I took class X at school C

Transcript from school B says I took class X at school B

I never attended school C

I did attend school B and took class X at school B

LSAC sees that the transcript from school A says I took class X at school C and labels school C as a school I've attended and failed to acknowledge

I tell LSAC I did not attend school C

LSAC told me that if I did not take class X at school C, then I need to have school A edit their transcript to show this fact and then I need to have them resubmit the corrected transcript to LSAC

School A is no longer a school

School A transformed into school D

School D is the custodian of school A's transcripts

School D cannot edit school A's transcripts

School C has written a "letter of non-attendance" on my behalf and I have forwarded that to LSAC

I've spoken with both people at LSAC proper and CAS, and supposedly last year when I was trying to remedy this problem, the letter of non attendance would be enough to remedy the situation (and this was after a big time sink of call after call after email). Now, I'm getting conflicting input on how to fix the situation from them, and also now they are telling me that the letter of non attendance needs to be sent directly from school C to them via snail mail and that the previously forwarded email from school C containing a scanned document with the signature of their registrar is not enough. Basically, the goal posts keep moving and I have no idea what to do from here.

Problem persists without resolution and the fixes to the problem that LSAC are giving me are literally impossible.

While I have managed to reduce greatly my incorrect ACs in RC, it is still my poorest section. So far, my approach to studying for this section has been incredibly random. I have usually only found that repetition and completing many reading comprehension sections was the best remedy to improvement. If anyone has found a helpful approach to practicing and analyzing RC questions, please let me know!

Hey folks. I always seem to struggle with the analogy questions on RC passages. Does anyone have any tips/tricks?

PT 48, S3, P2, Q9 is the latest one I've come across.

Thanks!

Are there any tips on how to take notes of stimulus and passages on digital LSAT?
