Alright here's my dilemma:

I just asked two people to write my letters of recommendation for law school. Assuming they say yes, most websites I've read recommend THREE letters of recommendation. However, I don't have that close of a relationship with any other professors/TAs.

I do play a club sport for my university and have a decent relationship with our coach. Should I ask him to write me a letter or is that too casual? He 100% knows my worth ethic, determination, etc., which could look good on a rec letter. Alternatively, do I ask a professor I've talked to maybe once, or just leave it at two people?

Any help is appreciated, thank you!

Any indian students preparing for lsat(global)?

I was looking at the LR questions with the lowest correct answer rates and came across PT12 S1 Q24.

I picked A simply because the rest didn't make sense, but am confused why A is actually a flaw (as opposed to one that relies on the assumption that the Vinland Map wasn't also written by Gutenberg).

If the Vinland Map were also printed by Gutenberg, and we now know that Gutenberg was using this ink at the time, then it could be both likely that B-36 was printed by Gutenberg and that the Vinland Map is not a fake. None of that is inconsistent with the question stem.

So for A to be a flaw, we have to assume that the Vinland Map was not printed by Gutenberg. There is no evidence for that in the question stem. The only information we're given about the Vinland Map in the stem is that it was printed around the same time (the 15th century) as Gutenberg's works.

I get that it might be a reasonable assumption that the map wasn’t printed by Gutenberg, but feel like I’m missing something if a flaw can rely on an assumption that is not supported by the stem.

I was wondering why you can't use C as a contrapositive?

I interpreted C as Universal feature + not invention -> innate ability

/innate ability -> /universal feature or /not invention

It says money is an artificial invention unlike language, which is an innate ability

And it says money is universal

So couldn't money -> /innate ability -> /universal feature or /not invention, and since it is a universal feature, can conclude /not invention? Or is the mistake that I am interpreting /not invention to mean invention, when it simply means it's not not an invention?

Thanks.

I took the August 2020 LSAT blind and scored a 162 with no study (and not even knowing all of the sections).

I just finished studying for 6 weeks and took the August 2023 LSAT and scored a 159. I didn't finish (guessed completely on the last game as I ran out of time) and I didn't have any extra time left over for one of the LR sections (very unusual as I normally have around 3 min to review). I am testing again in October or November, depending on if I think I am catching the holes in my studying. I was PTing between 163-168.

Should I cancel my August 2023 score? I'm really on the fence.

Hello,

I am looking for a study group in the Boston, MA area. I am looking to create a group of individuals interested in teaching and learning from others, while acting to keep one another accountable. I have no preference for scores or actual test date. I hope to apply next cycle so I aim to have the LSAT done before then. If you're in the area please consider reaching out! Thank you.

Question is I'm a rising senior and I failed a CORE -UA class in my freshman year, should I retake it (even if it does not replace the grade, so like solely for the CAS calculation policy)?

-Recently discovered that CAS averages the two grades taken for a repeated class and factors in any postsecondary course into their GPA recalculation. I'm assuming this is in favor of my application since I still have one year till graduation to fix things. However, the exact course catalog # is not showing up in my course registar searches so would it count to retake another course # under the CORE -UA (was originally a culture course, ex. on another topic)?

Whenever I click alternate explanation, or I try to play a video explanation from the drill set interface, the video doesn't have any images. I can hear JY's voice, and I see a blue cursor moving around, but no text or diagramming or anything. Is this a browser issue? It doesn't work on either computers I've tried, nor my phone's browser.

I'm on the hunt for a study buddy or study buddies to join me on my LSAT prep journey. I'm looking for someone who are committed and driven.

Here's a bit about where I'm at: I've been scoring in the 168-172 range, with my best performance hitting 177 (somehow!). I was initially signed up for the September LSAT, but I decided to drop it because I didn't feel consistent yet. My new plan is to take the October test.

My study routine involves taking one practice test per week and doing focused drilling. I've mastered LG, so I'm looking to improve my RC and LR. Of course, if you need help with LG or any other area, I'm more than willing to help.

I propose that we meet at least twice or three times a week to study together, review materials, and keep each other motivated and on track. Don't hesitate to reach out.

Looking for a study buddy but prefer to have a group of people where we can discuss questions and help each other out once a week and just keep accountability or just a group chat to ask questions. Im studying on my own and it can feel exhausting sometimes especially when there's no one else to ask help for on a question! Mostly looking for those scoring anywhere from 140s to 160.

we have over 149 members on this discord server, so there is probably a good chance that you'll find a group you'll fit into. We've already hit the ground running, would love to see all of you there. We have a study session scheduled for 2pm-4pm ET, and you can choose between LR room, LG room, and RC room. Hopefully one (or more) of our 149 members will join you in the struggle.

Here is the link: https://discord.gg/YWc9pVNC.

May the force be with you.

Diagnostic was 157, currently scoring 173 in untimed.

I'm prepping for the October intl. exam this year and aiming for 170+ or 175.

Looking for people with similar goals, or just about anyone who's studying for the LSAT and are in their final year at uni or finished with undergraduate studies. Group study can be offline or online, goal is to build an IRL Lsat support group.

Language isn't a problem so anyone's welcome. People in similar time zones are welcome as well!

My first official LSAT score was 129. Not a diagnostic literally an official 129 5 years ago while I was a senior in college in 2018. 129-139-145-149-145-157!!!! Don’t ever give up! I literally watched so many friends and colleagues of mine get into and graduate from Law School before I could even get a LSAT score in the 150s. I felt like such a failure. Do not give up ever!!! The test is learnable it can be done. Thank y’all for all the tips.

Could someone explain why A is the answer? In the passage, the idea of "indifference toward offspring as a defense mechanism against establishing close ties with infants unlikely to survive" was mentioned in the first paragraph and not in relation to Shahar's actual work.

Shahar does explain that parents did feel affection for their children though, but he doesn't mention anything about the fact that many infants were unlikely to survive. That's why I said A was not answered.

However, is it enough that Shahar's work says parents felt affection for their children to say that he answered the question posed by A? I wasn't sure how important the "spite of the fact that many infants were unlikely to survive" part was.

Thanks.

can someone explain this answer to me please

Hi! I previously took the LSAT and got a 172 last Fall. I decided not to apply last year, but as I am applying this year I want to retake it and score 175+ in October.

I am scoring 172-174 on Ptests currently as I review again. I am on EST and would be flexible to review online as my last day at work is coming up next week.

Hi!

Could someone please teach me how to schedule your time for remote testing?? I am taking the October one.

Have been trying to do it on Prometric but it gives you testing locations instead of options for remote setting, and I am very confused... Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone I was hoping to gain some advice from other people experienced/ currently taking the LSAT. I took the LSAT after 1 month of studying in June 2023 and got a 155. I studied solidly for 2 more months and planned to take the August sitting. Like many of us, I had proctoring issues in the first take of the August 2023 LSAT so I opted for a retake a week later which I also had (less) but still some distracting proctoring issues which lead me to loose focus and completely panic but I still decided to not cancel my score as I was hopeful even though I was completely thrown off I could still do well. My score unfortunately dropped to a 154 which is around 8 points below what I was averaging/ hoping to get on the test day. I have signed up to retake it in October but am unsure about whether I should cancel the August score considering it isn't even that different to my June score and a cancellation could indicate that I actually did far worse than 155. Further, if something goes wrong in October I would hate to have a double cancellation on my application. My current gut feeling is to not cancel it and leave it as is but I would appreciate some advice. Thank you :)

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to let you know about the updates LSAC has made to the LSAT test dates for October and November.

Along with the already announced test dates for October (October 13 and 14), LSAC has now added test sessions on October 15 and 16. LSAC also added more test dates to the November schedule. In addition to the previously set dates (November 10 and 11), there will now be test sessions on November 8 and 9.

The new test dates include both remote and in-person sessions, and this won't affect the score release date!
