Hey! Does anyone know if we can chew gum or have mints while taking the LSAT? Have the rules changed since the exam is online?

Can I purchase CAS in advance even if I do not know when I will start applying to schools?

Is there a way to see the writing prompts for schools I want to apply to before starting the application?

My first recorded LSAT was a 164 in January, I recently took the June LSAT and scored a 163. I am worried that schools will look unfavorably on there not being any improvement over a 6 month period let alone a point decrease. Should I cancel my score?

.

I recently turned 42, and law school has always been my dream since I was eight when an Uncle experienced police brutality in 1980s Southeast Texas. I always have done well in grade and high school – school has always been enjoyable. Left Texas for California at 21, primarily for a relationship that lasted 21 years. Although my relationship with my Husband lasted 21 years, it was not easy. As a gay man, he suffers tremendously from mental illness, severe depression, and alcoholism. In supporting my Husband, doing well at the community college was a struggle. I have taken classes on and off for the entire 21 years, intending to earn a bachelor’s degree – it never happened.

Fast forward to now, I’m the principal of a small tax practice, and I enjoy helping my clients solve their tax problems with federal and state tax authorities. One of my clients, a retired police investigator from Alameda County, encouraged me to return to school and finish what I started 21 years ago – especially since the recent dissolution of my relationship. Reflecting on our conversation, I decided to return to school to finish up and revisit my long-term goal of eventually enrolling in law school. But two things worry me about the realistic chances of being admitted to law school – my GPA and the school I’m transferring to.

I used the calculator provided by 7Sage to determine my GPA this far, going back 21 years, and it is calculated showing a 1.4. The undergrad school I’m transferring to does not calculate a GPA. It has a Pass/ Fail grading system. So this extracts any opportunity to get my GPA up. If I score well enough on the LSAT in the near future, what are my chances for admission to a law school? I’m considering moving back home to Texas or Louisiana, and the law schools I’d be interested in are Southern University Law Center (Part-time), South Texas College of Law at Houston (Hybrid), and Mitchell Hamline (Hybrid). What say you? Any advice?

Hello

I keep getting -7~ -9 in LSAT and when I go back for BR, I am able to get the right answer. What should I do to avoid this? Should I just keep drilling? I have been doing timed and untimed drills. I want to detect what the real issue is but I really don't get why

Hello all! Why is the game time tracking always stopping whenever Im moving onto another question? I have to manually click "continue game time tracking" Its not allowing me to see how long Im taking on each game accurately

Hi all! I’m a rising sophomore who’s interested in taking the LSAT spring of 25. This gives about a year and a half of studying, is this too much? Should I wait till later?

My GPA won’t suffer, and my diagnostic was a 158 with my goal being a 175+

Thanks!

Why is the answer A? I can see why some of the other answers do not fit, I am just confused how you can infer A from the passage?

hi guys, it finally got to my turn after being like 5800th in the queue and i think the issue got resolved bc it immediately only showed me time slots for remote testing and no in-person options (thats what i put as my preference a couple weeks ago, idk if that has anything to do with it).

anwayyyy, do you guys know how we're supposed to know if the time slot we chose is actually confirmed and reserved? like i selected a certain time slot and clicked on 'reserve test time.' the 'select' button turned into a green 'selected' button and thats about it. theres no other clickable thing on that page soooo,,, is that it or are we supposed to do smtg else after?

Hi if am having an issue identifying the different question stem in logical reasoning. What do you recommend? #help

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 you take the contrapositive of a causal statement? For example, if it said that A caused B, and we don't have B, is it logically corrected to say then we don't have A? Or does causation not work like that?

Why is the answer B?

Can anyone explain why E is incorrect?

I am currently signed up to take the August LSAT and I've been debating on taking the test at an in-person testing center this go around. Unfortunately, my first two attempts taking the LSAT I ran into technical difficulties and issues with my proctor interrupting, which caused me to lose ~8 minutes on my most recent attempt in June. Would love to hear other people's opinion on in-person testing vs online before I make my final decision this afternoon. Thanks!

Hi I am confused on why the answer is B on PTF97 S1 Q2. I skipped it during my practice test to focus on easier ones first, but when I came back I was unsure about the answer. Also during BR I chose the wrong answer. Just need someone to explain! Thanks!

Hi,

As of August 2023, am I permitted to draw/write my game boards for LG with paper and pencil, whether remote or at a testing center ?

I am wondering if the way I study (p&p) will be the way I test .... and ... if my notes for logic games digital, would you please share your approach ?.... thanks, thanks and thanks and happy Fourth of July! Gisu

PS: I emailed LSAC support but have not gotten an answer yet and apparently I am impatient ;-)

Or can you work in this field without it

Hello, I was wondering if there is any way to know the prompts for the upcoming law school admission cycle before the fall. Are the prompts usually the same as the previous year? Would the recent SCOTUS decision on affirmative action have impact on the essay prompts? Thank you in advance!

Can someone please explain why C is correct? I don't understand why I am wrong. #help

Hi all, I know this is stupid and highly recommended against, but I have decided to take the LSAT on only 2 months practice. While I plan to take the LSAT again, I also hope to develop LSAT skills as much as I can while I am on summer break. I have committed myself to doing 30 hours a week on top of my internship and was wondering if anyone else would be interested in keeping each other accountable, having check in and peer office hours where we can exchange thoughts

i'm thinking about creating a discord server for a LSAT study group. it's kinda just meant to hold each other accountable and create a system of support. anyone down if i create it?

EDIT: here's the inv to the discord https://discord.gg/kNYTPYY6A8

Hi,

So, I do better when I am moving my mouth when I am reading. Obviously, I won't be making noise or actually talking. The fact of me just moving my mouth helps me slow down and absorb the test stimulus and answer choices. I was wondering if the proctor would be mad at me for moving my mouth but making no noise during the LSAT exam? This is in the scenario of both in-person and virtual testing environments.
