Hi everyone! I was wondering if anyone would be interested in starting a study group in Boston. I am hoping to take my first test in August or September. I am going to be moving back to the city on June 24th and I am looking for others to study with. I will be working a 9-5 so if you can study in the evenings or on weekends that would be ideal. PM me if you are interested!

I'm planning on taking the September LSAT but would like to take a diagnostic exam before I start the bulk of my studying. Which practice test would people recommend I take as a diagnostic?

So around July I will be done with the CC, and I plan on testing in October. I also know that I may not finish every PT that is available right now, but which PT would you recommend me to start from? should I start with the older PT's or just the newer ones (141-158)?

Thank you in advance!

One of the things I have noticed is that it takes me a while to use the foundational lessons in the PTs and drills. I do not want to use the PTs too much as I am worried that I will exhaust them. Other than using PTs, what are some good resources to read to use as practice to drill those lessons.

How are you guys tackling each LSAT section?? New at this and need some insight!

A lot of people who were part of the 170+ were able to reliably get -0 on the logic games section which gave them more room to make mistakes in the other sections. Someone could get -4 RC, -4 LR, and -0 LG and still get a 170. But now, with the section that people could reliably get -0 on removed, how will amount of questions needed to be correct to get to 170 change? Will the curve be more forgiving now that LG, the typical -0 section is gone, and the other sections that are less predictable and have more opportunities to make mistakes (especially RC) are still here?

For example the LR Section Review live class says:

Do you want to cover logical reasoning questions and also timing strategy? If so, this is the class for you! Each week, we will review specific questions on a particular LR section before going through the questions. Check out the notes each week to try the section in advance before joining the class!

But where do you find those?

Should I be starting with V1 do the whole course than switch to V2? Or should I be doing V1 and V2 simultaneously? What has worked best and made easiest to understand?

Hey! Perhaps a silly question, but is there a tool on the drills page to draw things out for LR questions? I have been searching for a pen tool to map things out, but I only have access to highlighters.

I'm looking for a study group or maybe a group of people either online or in person to study with, I'm aiming for anywhere from a 160-180, I've never really studied in my life so looking for people to hold and be held accountable, and teach each other the material as that's the best way to learn. If anyone's interested feel free to add me on discord, ssshisha is my username.

Hi! I am looking for a dedicated accountability partner or group that is aiming for the 160-170s and plans to take the Sep/Oct/Nov LSAT. I took a diagnostic in May and scored a 143 and I have been studying for about a month since then. Please reach out to me and I would love to get connected and come up with some sort of study plan and accountability check-in. I am also open to meet on zoom or google meet sometimes as well. I am located EST.

This is random but I want to do a summer 2025 law internship in Australia but I don't even know how to begin this process. Most programs that I have looked at only offer unpaid experiences, but I would highly prefer to find a paid internship. Does anyone have any insight on this?

I picked C initially. I picked this answer because when the question mentions "malicious" my brain starts thinking for reasons why the toddler is not morally wrong in this situation. While this could be a decent explanation of the first sentence, it falls flat for the second. Additionally, WE DON'T DISCUSS ACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOR. This is really important: for principle questions, you are not going to get new information in the answers. It must be a general summary or explanation of the passage, not with new information.

Question A is right, it summarizes the passage well.

Question B is about attention, which isn't relevant

Question D is about ends, which isn't mentioned

Question E is about effectiveness, which isn't mentioned

I initially chose C. This is a good trap answer, a very good trap answer indeed. The trap comes when they say that rural people communicate less. The passage talks about communicating ELETRONICALLY less, not communicating less in general. If you read this quickly, it makes perfect sense. Rural people communicate less electronically, so answer C is correct. However, because answer C is missing electronically, it is wrong. This is very sneaky!!!

Answer A is a classic difficult answer. It perfectly summarizes, which is the job of a good principle answer, but it does so in verbose language that is different from the passage.

Answer B is irrrelevant and introduces new information

Answer D is irrelevant and introduces new information,

Answer E is irrelevant and introduces new information

Watch out! Trap answers are very sneaky!

Hello!

I was wondering if we took the LSAT this June and submitted a writing sample, will we have to write a new writing sample for the August 2024 exam? (Since the format is changing a little bit)

Is there a way to practice a section at a time, review it, and then try a new section? Is there a way to do this or do you create a drill?

Hello.

I am taking the test in September.

I have accommodations and I requested the experimental section to be removed. I was wondering if I need to take the my practice test with or without the experimental section.

Thank you!

Hi all- I seem to be getting more questions wrong in my first section than the following sections regardless of being LR or RC. I noticed a consistent 5 question difference. Is anyone else having a similar issue? Any ideas on how to improve this issue

I am planning on taking the October or Novebmer LSAT and looking for 170 score

I'm from Europe and planning on taking LSAT in October or November

As a child I had an IEP from 3rd grade to 8th grade for reading and writing. 9th grade year I was allowed to take one advance history course, but still had to have follow up meetings to see how I was doing. By 10th grade I was taken off IEP observation and moving forward was no longer require to go to IEP meetings and such. I did receive accommodations though between 3rd and 8th grade, 9th grade they did pull back on that a bit. Would I be allowed to have accommodation even if I was taken off the IEP? I also did not have any accommodations in college. If I am allowed accommodations because of the IEP, would I still have to follow up with a doctor for proof?

so i'm aware there are a few older posts on here about this topic, but was hoping that someone could chime in with new advice...

i'm averaging around 170-173 on blind review pts, and about 92-100% on RC and LR drills with 25 questions/4 passages (sometimes ~88% for the harder ones). however, my scores before blind review tend to hover around 165-67. i know that these are, by no means, bad scores, but i do want a higher score on the actual lsat (sept 2024).

my biggest problem for rc is that i tend to miss essential parts of the passage (that i do not realize are essential until i get to the questions), and end up having to a) go way over time or b) only get to thoroughly read the passage during blind review.

for lr, i panic about the time and end up not selecting an answer i'm confident with until blind review.

i know that comparing timed/untimed scores is one of the main goals of blind review, so i guess i'm also just asking about how to balance time and thoroughness.

i don't know if i need to just keep drilling (though i feel like i'm burning through questions and pts) or if there's some other trick!!

any tips would be appreciated :)

I am currently three weeks into my study schedule only covering main conclusion and most strongly supported, (excluding the drills included in the study plan) do I start drilling after I'm done the curriculum? Do I start doing PTs after I'm done the curriculum? I have no test date and plan to just go with the wind, when I'm ready Ill take the test, I am in no rush but would like to know how I should attack studying.

Hello everyone,

I am Marisol and I live in the SFV. I am looking to take the exam in June of 2025. Looking for an LSAT study buddy who would want to go through the journey together.
