I am registered to take the Aug LSAT and been "prepping" since April. Today I took another full length test (3rd one so far), and scored a 159 which is my highest score yet and a 4 point increase from my first practice test that I took at the beginning of April. In that time, I have been focusing mostly on LGs with some LR (necessary assumptions, flaw, and POI mostly). The majority of my improvement came from LGs, went from went from 13 incorrect to 7 incorrect. My LR score has stayed consistent across all three practice tests (around 60% correct), and my RC score has decreased from 100% to around 80%.
My target score is 167. Does that sound realistic based on my current progress? or would ~163-5 be more attainable? Also, what area should I focus on most to generate the greatest score increase in the remaining study time that I have? One item of note, because of a change in more work schedule, I have ~10 more hours to study per week that I have had in the previous months. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!
Hey there!
I'm looking for a study / accountability partner to study with, with a focus on reading comprehension, and also support one another with the other aspects of the LSAT, the application, and the stresses of the test.
I am averaging 161 and aiming for low 170s.
I live in Los Angeles (the valley) and would like to study or hold discussions over zoom mainly. I am open to in person as well. I'd really like to drill down on RC so ideally it would be with someone who also wants to master RC. Alternatively, I can pair with someone who is good at RC but needs help with LG. I am pretty good at LG and happy to help.
Shoot me a message if interested.
Just curious to know how the recent USSC decision on affirmative action will affect admission chances. For instance, would this be put into play for this admission cycle? Thanks!
Currently looking for any study groups already existing or else to form one. Message me if interested!

Hi, I've recently improved quite a bit in reading comp in my past practice tests, scoring in the -0 to -4 range in timed and/or BR typically. However, sometimes I feel as though I take too long on certain passages and especially questions. At times I only have a handful of minutes when I start the last passage in a set, sometimes not being able to get through all the questions with a proper analysis and answer attempt. I usually get the hard and hardest questions right when I do invest the time but I still just always spend too much time it seems. I like investing a lot of time into understanding the passages I'm reading, breezing through questions quicker than the marked expected time according to the analytics, but taking longer than expected to read the passages.
Should I simply be more willing to lower my odds of getting some questions right in order to get a proper attempt at every passage and question in a set?
Looking for a serious study buddy; someone who would not mind meeting up in a library, B&N, or a Zoom/FT to study. Taking the LSAT in October. Contact me only if you are interested.
I recently took the June Lsat, I consistently scored between 160-163 on the four or five consecutive practice exams I took prior to my test. I ended up getting a 156 on the actual exam. I dont know if this drop may have been due to nerves (I had technical issues the day of my exam and was not able to start for an hour after my shceduled time and this had me very anxious and stressed). I took all PTs under real testing and time conditions. I wish there were a way to review my official LSAT and see which questions I missed etc. I am already registered for the August exam, this time at a testing center, and I'm hoping for a 160+. Any tips on what to do this time around? Im scared to not study effectively and just waste my time, I feel like I've done every LSAT question there is. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Hi everyone! A few of us have planned dates to write PT'S together and then review as a group. We've selected to do Wednesdays, more specifically July 19th and July 26th. If successful we will plan more going forward.
We are open to planning more, or having additional silent study meets throughout the week.
Most of us are studying for the September writing date!
If you'd like to join our group, let me know! :)
This is a MSS
By reading the stimulus and knowing were looking for a MSS. I can deduce that because some of the funghi that grows on the forest floor provided by dead logs are beneficial to some of the trees, than answer choice A is correct.
B We don't know
C We don't know
D We don'tknow
E Here they talking about Dead and decaying trees, the stimulus is referirng to Dead logs, which is different
Admin Note: Edited title. Please use the format: "PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of the question."
Correct answer B The only thing we know for sure reading the argument is that the studies encourage overestimation of the degree to wich some food additives are carcinogenic.
A We don’t know
C We don’t know
D We don’t know
E We don’t know
Anyone in Toronto/GTA taking the LSAT test later on this year and want to start a study group chat on whatsapp? PM your number.
I got this one wrong, I chose E, but now I see that we don[t know the relation between English literature and French literature, what we know is the origins of the language, trap answer for misreading.
The correct answer is A, cause its the only thing we can deduce from the stimulus.
B We don’t know
C We don;t know
D We don’t know
Is the term "except" indicative of a biconditional or a group 3 conditional? I believe 7Sage says biconditional, but I have heard some say it is the same as 'unless' (group 3).
Jan - 160
June - 159
Planning on taking it again (not sure when) as both scores were below my average (168).
Should I keep or cancel the June score? Planning on keeping it since its within margin of error but don't want to regret it - will it hurt me?
Hi everyone,
I am just beginning my LSAT study journey and working through Foundations in V2 of the CC. For the quizzes such as complex arguments, for, since, because and others how many times have you guys retaken the quizzes to get the correct answers?
Here is what I am doing:
If I get the question right on the first try I do not retake the question. However, if I get it wrong, I retake the quiz and answer the questions until I get them correct twice.
What do you guys advise?
not sure how to increase my score i feel stuck
Or can you work in this field without it
Any LSAT takers in Northern VA? Would definitely like to get a study group together at a barnes and noble or starbucks if possible.
.
Can someone help explain this particular question to me?

Hey all, I'm in an odd spot with reccommendation letters. I have an old military supervisor and an advisor at my current undergrad insitution that have written really solid letters, but I just cannot seem to get one from a professor. My whole time in undergrad, I've never had the opportunity to take two classes from the same professor. Also, the professors I've gotten to know and who I could ask have a policy aginst writing a letter for anyone unless they've taken two or more of their classes. Law schools really emphasize that applicants should get a letter from a professor if they're still in undergrad, but I'm pretty much stuck without one. Is this something I could write an addendum to explain, or would that make the situation look even worse?
If it’s not too late I would love to be added to the group. @miracle_divinee
I have a GPA addendum because of a specific circumstance I was in during my undergrad, and I have a 4.00 gpa from my masters to back up that the undergrad was just a fluke and wont happen again.
I am just wondering where I am to include this in my application?
Thank you so much
