Hi everyone, sorry if this is a basic question but I haven't found a consensus online. How often are law school supplemental essay prompts repeated? Are they mostly kept the same year to year? I want to go ahead and begin brainstorming and drafting essays for the 2024-2025 cycle while I have some free time but there's no point if the essays are different each year. For example, are schools that did "Why X" essays this cycle likely to have them again next cycle? Thanks in advance!

I currently scoring in mid-160s, and the main issue holding me back is missing 2-3 level 1/2 questions at the beginning of the LR section. Any advice on how I can improve this? I initially thought it was due to rushing or overthinking, but I'm not completely sure at this point. Does anyone have any advice on how I can improve this?

I started doing this course this week. I just completed doing the blind review by going through the diagnostic test for June 2007. I am not sure that I did the blind review correctly as I went down two points post blind review.

My process of completing the blind review was watching the videos twice each, making notes and following through. I completed step one by going through the circled and seeing if I need to change or not and did that for all four sections. I originally was going through the whole test again and searched through the forums to see if I was doing it right. I then just went through the rest of the test just going through the circled questions. I am uncertain if my process just wasted time. I did the explanations in my head and now I wonder if I should start doing the actual foundations course or go through the other steps of the analysis before moving on to doing arguments on the course. Did I take the diagnostic to early or should I just continue with what I am currently doing by going through that prep test and sitting down and analyzing my choices and answers with all the questions. Can I change the prep test to printed test without any issues so I can analyze each question. Should I rework my process? Need advise on what to do!

It shows this on the Blind Review under action:

If you have trouble understanding the trap, then you should:

  • Watch the video explanation for this question
  • Talk to other students about it
  • Talk to your instructor about it
  • Is this what I do post blind review since I scored it. Do I end up keeping the questions and reviewing it?

    Hi all,

    Is anyone else having issues with getting kicked out of PrepTests with plenty of time remaining? I've now been kicked out of three PrepTests all with at least 15 minutes remaining in a given section. This has become increasingly frustrating as it's not allowing me to get a valid score or accurately track my progress. If anyone has experienced this, please let me know if you found a solution.

    Thank you!

    Hi there. I've been hearing conflicting things about this topic. From what I've heard, as long as you don't completely mess up, there;s a very good chance of getting into a Biglaw firm upon graduation at a T14 schools. I've heard, too, that it is likely to get into a Biglaw position at any T50 school, though the drawbacks sometimes is that you are limited in a regional sense. For example, Boston College sent many many students to Biglaw firms, but mainly in the Boston area. Thoughts on this? Trying to decide, as someone who wants to get into Biglaw after law school, whether I should even consider applying to schools outside the T14 or not. I've just heard conflicting things.

    I had drafted my essays for Yale in 11pt font prior to reading that they require 12pt. Anyone have a perspective on how much wiggle room their "approximately" language provides? Feel free to comment or just respond to the poll below.

    Example directions are: "The optional essay should be approximately one double-spaced page, formatted in a professional 12-point font,"

    UNC is my dream! though, my GPA is somewhat mid i think, sittin pretty at 3.64 and i take the LSAT next weekend. i've been scoring in the low 160s, so i'm anticipating somewhere around there (if i end up with below a 160, i'm retaking- also yes i know i'm likely to do worse on the real deal but i'm being optimistic hehe). if anyone is super familiar with UNC or their admissions office, is it possible for me to get accepted? rather, is it likely? also important to note that i believe my personal statement will be quite strong, as i have quite a bit of writing experience (if that would make much of a difference). thanks!

    Not sure if "taking a cut" is exactly how the policy works. I've heard having a BL summer associate salary will affect how you receive need-based aid, or that the salary is not fully yours.

    I heard this a while back about Harvard and then again on social media a couple weeks ago about Harvard, YLS, and Stanford. I don't really know the specifics.

    Does anyone know which law schools do this and how it works?

    Any tips for flaw questions? It seems as the harder I try, the worse I do for these questions. :,-(

    Given that they are the most common LR type, I need big time help.
