Hey friends! I am in the process of finishing my personal statement and I would really like to get a few opinions before the final send off with my applications. Besides the people that wrote me my LOR's, does anyone know of a resource that will help you with your personal statement revisions? Also, I don't want to spend thousands of dollars so I am not sure if anyone is in the same boat but let me know if you have any suggestions!! Thanks in advance!

Is using questions from the newer PTs something students do once they’ve completed the core curriculum? I was referring to once I finish it.

Hello all,

I'm looking to form/join a study group. The idea is to form a group(s) of 3-4 to go Blind Review sections together, discuss strategy on sections, and help ourselves find flaws and better methods forward.

We'd BR together on weekends via Zoom. I'm not dead-set on taking it in November but will definitely be taking it in January.

Either comment on the post or send me a direct message and we could start this upcoming Saturday/Sunday.

This happened to me a lot so I have to ask for some advice. I start doing a PT (especially I am talking about an LG section) where I kinda freeze at a certain game which I know is something I can handle. I stop the section and restart again and the second time it goes flawlessly. How can I fix this? This especially happens during an LG. I don't look for an explanation or anything I just gather myself and it goes great afterwards.

Hey guys! Was wondering if anyone has any advice for how to approach studying for November. So I got a 168 on the August test, which I know is objectively a fantastic score, but my PT average is around 175ish (and my last few scores were 176, 180, and two 179s). I'm pretty happy with my grasp of everything so I think it's about consistency for me.

I don't feel bad about it because I really can't complain about a 95 percentile score and know I worked hard, but also I knew I would most likely have to take it again and my score expectations were pretty low. I was super anxious on the day - I slept horribly and I didn't even have time to properly finish my RC section (which was my first one), and it was super jarring because I've literally never had issues with time on a standardized test + was thrown off by the LSAT flex format, so I'm expecting to do better just without that first time test anxiety now that I'm more familiar with how it goes!

I'm wondering if anyone has any suggestions for how I should think about studying these next 5-6 weeks? I'm thinking fewer practice tests (luckily I saved a bunch of tests in the 70s and 80s) and just drilling a little to stay on top of it, and putting extra effort into digesting why my wrong answers were wrong. I also have a pretty demanding full time job and was stressed about a number of things, and had been trying to squeeze LSAT studying in bits in during the day (since I'm working remotely due to COVID right now still) so I want to make sure I try to study when I'm feeling clear headed and have uninterrupted time rather than in bits and pieces while juggling work.

I also need to focus on reading comprehension but its tough to know how to get down to -0/-1 more consistently when you're already doing pretty well.

Any advice? Any inspirational stories of a huge jump from your first to second test?

good luck everyone!!!

I learn best by explaining answers because it makes me have to justify my answers. That being said, I think it would be fun to go over a set as a group. For example, maybe everyone does a certain kind of question or all the LR questions from Test 20. We could go over missed questions from that problem set and talk them out as a group.

Let me know what you think!

Okay, Im having so much trouble trying to fund out what goes into the sufficient or the necessary conditions. Specifically in group 3 and 4. I feel like I get it wrong every time. Can anyone direct me to a specific lesson in the syllabus or explain to me how to better distinguish what goes in the sufficient or the necessary.
