Hi,

I plan on applying to law schools this fall and I plan to study my butt off all summer and hopefully get a really good score come October. My original plan was to take it in September but I have had some complications come up that make that not really an option for me.

If I plan to have all my application materials ready to go by the time scores are released (including 2 letters and a 3.99 GPA), and hopefully get a better score than I would if I were to take the LSAT any earlier (ideally 170s), would submitting applications in very early November seriously decrease my chances at getting into top ~30 schools and scholarships (not necessarily from top 30s)?

I'm really worried about this and I'm wondering if since I cannot take it any earlier if I should just postpone my applications all together until next year.

Thanks!

Hey 7Sagers,

There's some significant updates LSAC is implementing to their Prep Plus subscription.

Starting July 1, Prep Plus will be transitioning to a new brand name - LawHub Advantage. With this new identity, LSAC will be increasing the cost of their subscription from $99 to $115/year.

However, if you choose to sign up or renew your Prep Plus subscription before July 1 (before it becomes LawHub Advantage), you can do so at LSAC's current price of $99. This pricing will cover you for an additional year: https://www.lsac.org/lawhub

If you have any questions, please feel free to comment on this forum post, and we'll do our best to help!

Im sure there are a lot of post about canceling scores but i just wanted to get some opinions on my specific situation.

I got a 145 on my lsat, which is pretty low for me. I was getting 153 and higher on my PT’s. My dream school is regent university. Which has a median of 155, i truly believe i can get my score up in September but didn't know if i should cancel please let me know y’alls thoughts. Thank you in advance

Is anyone having trouble with the 7sage website lately? It often takes forever to load when trying to create a new problem set and sometimes doesn't load at all. The issue is not my wifi nor my computer as I have been on different devices/networks.

For those of you who consistently score -0 in LG, what got you there? Was it foolproofing PT1-35? Foolproofing everything...? I sometimes get -0 but sometimes get as much as -3 in a timed section, and often times it's due to silly mistakes. I've been studying for a long time now and foolproofed a lot of games, but haven't gone through every single game from PT1-35 and foolproofed it to completion and am wondering if that's what's holding me back. Looking for advice on how to get to -0 consistently!

Any tips for someone who consistently has RC as their worst, avg 8 questions wrong?

Hello everyone! Can someone explain to me why B is the correct answer? I chose E but I am having a hard time understanding the big difference between these two answer choices. Thanks!

Hey! Can someone explain to me why E is the correct answer? I chose B but I am having a hard time understanding the big difference between these two answer choices. Thanks!

I would love to meet with anyone on zoom multiple times a week and have study sessions! I am taking the august LSAT and found it very helpful to walk through problems with other people and get different perspectives

Let me know if anyone wants to join!

Hi! I do so much better with accountability/irl studying. Anyone near LA interested in studying together? Online study buddies welcome too!!

Hi I'm looking for a couple of people to review RC and LR with. I have solved over 50 PTs but decided to cancel June last minute to really hone in on RC and get LR to a consistent -1/2. I'm going to be starting from PT 1 and resolving and reviewing at least 1-2 RC sections over 2-3 days. I plan to really intensively go over RC so if anyone is interested in consistently doing this to (for review/accountability), please message me!

When doing the drills and problem sets I find myself obviously doing worse with the tougher questions (4/5 degree difficulty). Since I have no prior attempts on the LSAT and have only taken one PT, I am unsure how common these very difficult questions are on the real test. Can someone with prior test experience explain the difficulty variation on the exam? Is it a lot of 4/5 difficulty questions or usually 1/2/3 difficulty with some tougher (4/5) questions mixed in?

Looking for a study buddy, taking my test in September. I would like to review PTs, and do practice questions! Add me on discord isha01 or message me!

What's MBE?????????

I was registering for the August 2023 LSAT earlier and couldn't help but notice that the LSAC website lists a platform called "Prometric" instead of ProctorU for scheduling now. Did LSAC send out an official notice about this change already (that I somehow overlooked)? Not going to lie, this makes me a little anxious, hahaha. Here's to hoping this is a positive change and that August remote test takers don't suffer too much 😭

Hello!

So, I plan on taking the September test as things presently stand. I'm done with the core curriculum, and I plan to take my 2nd PT this week. Looking to form a group of about 4-6 people, and I'd like for those interested in joining to (i) have a goal of scoring 165+, (ii) have already completed the core curriculum, and (iii) be committed to meeting at least 4x a week to go over PTs, drills, and whatnot. If you're interested, I'll send you a PM (please be looking out). Again, I'm looking to keep the group relatively small for the sake of productiveness.

Scheduled for august but may push it back. Regardless I'll be grinding for this test all summer. If there is a group chat or someone that wants too be study buddies let me know!

I’m looking for other students who have signed up and thinking once the class starts we can do homework, drills, etc. together!

Hi,

Looking for a study buddy in or around nyc area targeting August lsat. ideally 160 and above avg, aiming for 170+.

Not looking for any specific structure but more so getting dialogue going and go from there.

Thanks

I noticed that I don't manage time well in my tests, how can I improve? I end up skipping loads of questions when I'm running out of time and it's frustrating. I have a pretty solid understanding of LSAT fundamentals now but because of my time management, I can't budge the 150s. Meanwhile, in my blind review or untimed tests, I score in the 160s. Please help. My LSAT is in 7 weeks and I don't know what to do anymore.

-so if you fail a sufficient condition, the rule "goes away" ?

-but if you satisfy a necessary condition, the rule also "goes away" ?

-you would not want to rely on a contrapositive of any of these rules in these two situations above?

Anyone in the Upstate NY area?

Would like to get together to form a study group :)

Comment if interested!

Hi, just wondering if anyone has any tips for RC (aside from getting reps in) that really improved their score and confidence in each answer?

Also, I'm not finding blind review to be as useful for RC as it is with LR and LG, any suggestions/tweaks to the review process for RC? I understand it may just be the nature of the section compared to the other two.
