I'm a non-trad student (27, still in undergrad because I took several years off due to certain life circumstances) and I work Friday-Sunday in healthcare (pharmacy tech), and I do not truly have any days off. During law school, I plan to quit working, but I'm not able to yet. I just feel like I don't have any time to get much LSAT studying in between working, my classes, and sleeping. My highest PT score is 151, and although I know that isn't horrible, I want better so I can get scholarships and in top 50 school if possible. My CAS GPA is going to be poor because my freshman year, my dad died and I quit going to class for a while and failed 3 classes, but I have done really well since I went back, mostly As and a couple Bs. So, I have to get a good LSAT. Anyone have any tips how to squeeze in some LSAT studying while working and school?

Hey guys! I'm from a non-English speaking country and my first diagnostic test was 142. The major problem is that I cannot finish the test with such a short period of time. I've already received an LLB from my home country and it's totally possible for me to do lsat well in my first language. So English vocabulary seems like the biggest barrier for me. I'm kindly inquiring are there any ways to increase my vocabulary in 6 months and is it possible for me to get a 160+ last eventually?

I haven't noticed any office hours recently. Are those coming back any time?

Attached is the link for those taking the August LSAT and beyond!

Often, when doing RC passages, I doubt myself. The answers I select feel like they're half guessing, but I am usually correct. Anybody have any advice on how I can go about having more confidence in my answers?

I heard somewhere that RC drills are based on older PTs to keep the newer ones fresh

I heard somewhere else that older RCs are easier

Are the drills easier than the actual PT?

They haven't sent out the email to register for the exact date/time/location for the April 2024 test right? Also, when they do send it out, is it a rush to claim a spot or do they generally have enough spots available at in person testing sites. I have a pen and paper accommodation and am required to take it in person because of this, so I just want to make sure I will be able to get a location within driving distance lol.

I'v received a notification that I needed to renew my LSAC LawHub Advantage subscription in about a week. I repurchased the subscription today and am still seeing the notification. Is there anything else I can do to make sure LSAC account and 7sage accounts are linked? Or is this a lag?

Is Josh's coming back to teach LG? He was extremely helpful with my understanding as I am prepping for the upcoming test.

Hey guys, I'm looking for a study group for the August LSAT (No LG)

I took the September test last year and scored a 167, and I'm looking for any way to boost my score.

Honestly, I haven't studied with groups yet, and I thought I'd just test it out! Maybe talking about the LR or RC questions and stuff will help me see some different perspectives.

If you're in a same position as me, let me know and shoot me a DM; I can make a discord where we meet once a week or something just to keep each other accountable in studying and stuff.

(And if there's any high scorers out there already, feel free to come by and help us out too :D)

Thanks! Much appreciated.

how can i turn the closed captions off from automatically coming up every time

I've recently taken PTs 61, 62, and 65. I took them as four-section tests because I'm taking the test in April and July. For all three, the sections were ordered as RC, LR, LG, LR.

Was this a coincidence? Or are all of the four-section tests set this way by 7sage? If so, can this please be changed? I would like to replicate test day conditions as closely as possible.

I have been studying since June 2022 for the LSAT and after having taken it a few times and consistently scoring lower on the actual test than PT and having sent a few applications already without high expectation, when is it time to throw in the towel? I really want this but I don't want to be that sad person that keeps running after something completely unattainable. I am taking it in April and my therapist suggested getting time accommodations, so I requested and got it (50% time) which is great and will help significantly, but its so late in the process. My plan B is take it and if it doesn't happen this year, reapply to my top choice schools and a few I was too afraid to apply to but idk. I really really want law school but I can't take one test forever, you know?

Looking for in-person study buddies in the area- hoping to take any exam prior to next cycle. I can provide a calendar for us to populate. This is also a good way to explore new cafes/study spots in the Bay! The primary purpose of this is to provide accountability and motivation (stemming from a bit of healthy competition). HMU!!

Should I go through the foundation then grammar section then start practice testing (btw Im going to be sitting for the August version of the exam (no logic games). Can anyone help out with the order of how I should be studying.

The study buddy tool option has not worked out too well for me. I'm in Mission Viejo/Lake Forest and would like to get a group or find a buddy to work together before the April test. I find it helpful talking one on one with peers. Please comment or message me if you're interested!

Could someone explain to me the difference between how to identify a valid versus a invalid forum. When I physically write out the concepts I do not understand how to identity (when written out or in my head) if it is valid of invalid. For example:

Most runners buy running shoes. R-->S

Most people who buy running shoes don't like to run. S --> /L

Some runners dont like to run.

This is my drawing

S

S (maybe its here too /L)

S/L

S/L

SR (maybe its here too /L)

SR

SR

R

R

My question is how to identity the scope. You can obviously say that there is a chance that there is no runners who do not like to run but there is also a chance that they do. How do I identity when it is in or out of the scope. I would really appreciate and explanation with examples .

A couple of remarks:

Hey everyone, I wanted to get some good advice from fellow LSATers. How often should I PT? I am currently finishing the core curriculum, in the LR section and was wondering when and how often should I start PTing? Should I complete my CC, or do I start PTing once in a while? Thank you in advance.

Hi!

My friend who went to Yonsei UIC and I are starting an online LSAT study group. He has an official score of 176 and my score fluctuates from 166-172. I am not sure if this means anything but I have a degree from Johns Hopkins. We also have another member who scores around low-170s in the PTs.

We meet at 7 pm-9 pm Korean Standard Time on Wednesday.

I have a Zoom Pro, so we can meet without interruption.

We also plan to meet offline at Gangnam station for a group study or maybe even a dinner or drinks if we gather enough people.

If you are interested, please send me a DM and I will invite you to the KakaoTalk group chat!

Thanks! (:

How do you guys study for LSATS after the core curriculum? Like how many practice tests do you guys take a week? I work full time so I can mostly just do practice tests over the weekend. Do I just do drills the other days and which drills should I do?

Hi all, im just wondering if it is ok to take a week off from studying during my midterm and finals week at school. I cant study for a couple hrs for my tests as well as the lsat without having time to do nothing else. any advice would be welcome

I took the February LSAT and made a 148 (Goal score is 155 or mid-150s). I registered for the April LSAT/ want to get back into studying, but I don’t know how. I know I don’t want to start completely over. Advice?

Hi, I have two different scores that I have seen for a preptest and just want to make sure I understand fully what is going on so I know how to proceed. On the first diagnostic I took, I got a 142 - what I see currently is a 135 as the score. I took a preptest two days ago and the score I received was a 148, after finishing blind review it was a 152. Now it shows up as a 140. I still had the tab open from when it was a 148. Just want to make sure what exactly is going on here and which one is my score. Thank you!

Hi,

Planning on taking the new lsat as soon as it comes out since I’m a junior and want to apply to law school as soon as possible. On my first practice exam I got a 142 and same on the second. I know it seems fast but my goal is 170. I believe anything is possible. But I have issue with just how to study and too indecisive to stick with one. The other issue is on 7Sage there’s 2 versions. I’m currently doing a mix of both since version 2 is newer I assume it’s better. But I have dis Lexi a (WHY DO THEY MAKE THAT WORD HARD TO SPELL) anyways… so ver2 lack of videos make it hard to understand but on version 1 it mostly explanions and not tips or learning going on. Lol any help will be greatful. I only want to go to law school and it's literally all I have left. (long sad story)
