Hey everyone! So one of my LOR is from a lawyer I worked for, and I don't know what to put for her title on the LSAC LOR page? Should I just leave it blank or say attorney? Any ideas? Thanks!!

I've read a few discussions already regarding a vaguely similar situation, but just wanted some advice re my specific circumstance.

So, I completed my entire undergrad degree remotely and did not engage much with any of my professors. I could not pick any of them out of a lineup due to the asynchronous nature of online learning. Given this, I have considered asking a couple of my dual enrollment professors from my senior year of high school who know me quite well and could write a genuine LOR.

As for my third LOR, I was living in London and working full-time at PwC during my undergrad studies, so I am going to ask a colleague.

Any advice regarding this situation? Would an addendum do more harm than good? I.e., bring attention to my lack of relations with undergrad professors.

Hello everyone,

After reading the LSAC page on the LSAT writing section, it mentions that I will be able to write my essay beginning at least 8 days prior to my in-person or virtual test date. However, everywhere online, I hear of people saying that anyone can write their essay after their test day. Is this true? Where do I find this information?

First PT was a 164, then a 168 - was stuck in the mid 160s for awhile, then broke through to low 170s, then mid 170s then just today I got a 180.

Feels really good although I want to keep drilling to ensure that my real score lands somewhere close to this.

I often run into questions I have already seen on LawHub when doing drills. I would like to skip them, but if I don't provide an answer then these questions are added to questions I got wrong. Is it possible to skip questions?

What are your best tips for mastering conditionals? I have been PTing much better than I was when I started studying but I am noticing trends in my NA/SA questions being incorrect, as well as a good deal of questions that involve condtional reasoning. I don't find the videos are too helpful in explaining why the wrong answers are wrong vs simply why the correct one is correct... SOS!!

I am planning on taking the November LSAT and I have been scoring in the 150's on practice tests, is it possible for me to get in the high 160's by November? Not to mention I have no commitments work or school wise, so I have all day and time to study up until test dates. Any advice or takes?

Looking to join a study group for the September LSAT if anyone is interested!

Hi everyone,

This is my first time taking the LSAT, started my diagnostic in the 140-145 range, haven't taken a practice test yet, but I am planning on doing that in the next 1-2 weeks. I am preparing for the November LSAT, but based on questions that I have been drilling, it has been fluctuating for me getting 5/6 right on some days and 4/6 on others (Ex. for Strengthen Medium sometimes I get 6/6 and other days 4/6).

What is a tip/trick that has been helping you out or that "A-hah" moment ?

How long did it take you guys to fully master a question type like Strengthen and/or assumption, only getting 2-3 or less wrong?

I officially started studying end of May, how soon have people started seeing results? I am aiming for a high 160 before November. Is this attainable studying a few hours everyday? Let me know your guys' experiences or takes on this:)

Hello! I have been studying for the August LSAT, and feel like I have come a far way with LR/have been focusing most of my time on that. As I've started doing the more recent PTs, I have noticed my reading comprehension scores have been worse and I have been having a much harder time with them. I went from getting -2ish to -4 or 5. Specifically, I feel like I am running out of time or don't remember the parts of the passage that I need to. Accordingly, I've decided to turn most of my attention to RC.

Does anyone have any advice on what to study and practice for the next couple of weeks to hone in on a method to attack these passages? I began the RC core curriculum, but I'm not sure exactly what I should be getting out of it. Is time best spent reviewing these example videos, practicing on my own, or doing specific practice drills? Any advice would be appreciated :)

I have a question regarding Conjunction and Disjunction when they’re present in the sufficient and/or necessary condition.

I know “and” does not split in the sufficient condition and does split in the necessary condition and vice versa for "or" statements.

Does that mean if a statement says “A and B -> C” that we need both A and B to be present to trigger the necessary condition? Or 1 of them alone would be enough to trigger.

Conversely, if it said “A -> B and C”, does A being present mean both B and C must be present together as a consequence? Or one can be present without the other?

Thank you for taking the time to respond.

Hi, I’m confused about Q17, where the video mentions that (C) and (E) is part of Haffer’s hypothesis, but I don’t think it is? No where in the passage does it state that upland is more diverse or more dense than low land. It says that low land is drier (which could imply that rain forest-like organisms likely prefer upland), but this feels like overstepping the bounds of the types of assumptions that we as readers can make. The only thing that Haffer says about the difference between lowland and upland currently is that (1) low land is drier and (2) they differ in terms of species.

Well, since we recently saw a thread for a Christian Study group I reckon it would be cool to have a Muslim one too. Drop a reply and I can DM a link to join a discord server or WhatsApp group or something.

No shade towards Christians fr y'all our brothers too.

Any advice or insight on breaking out of the high 150s low 160s? Last 5 PTs taken weekly have been 160, 162, 160, 158, and 158. Been going through the curriculum blind reviewing and reviewing PTs the next day. Also haven’t started studying reading comprehension nor do I review it during the review process of the test. Looking to take in September and trying to get 165+

Took a PT yesterday morning and scored my personal best, which I was super happy about, but then as the day went on, I just kinda became more and more jaded about it:

-Almost feels like a "World Series hangover" if that makes any sense: people say that the records of teams who make the World Series sharply decline the next year (see: the Rangers and Diamondbacks' current records) bc it's just hard to get locked in for a regular season game in the middle of July after having constant adrenaline shots in the postseason.

Can't tell if it's just the ebb and flow of general self-doubt involved in prepping for the LSAT or the washing out of the massive adrenaline associated w taking a PT and getting a really good score. Probably a bit of both. Just curious if anyone's ever noticed the same thing in their studies?

I've been feeling like I was going to end up stuck in the 150s forever, after consistently scoring around 153-156 (I'm taking the August LSAT). I took a preptest today and ended up with a 164!!! I could not be happier, as my goal for the actual exam has been at least a 160- now it finally feels attainable :) time to keep drilling + aim for consistently scoring in the 160s!

Hi all,

Looking for study buddies in bay area. Preferrably near Berkeley.

Aiming for 170+ on November 2024 LSAT :)

Hello, I have been doing Blind Review and WAJing according to the lessons in the syllabus for LR and I found them extremely helpful. I was wondering if there is anything different I should do in terms of blind reviewing and WAJing for RC?

Hello, I recently upgraded to LawHub advantage but I still cannot access the material on 7Sage. How long does it take for the material to become available?

For this weakening question, I understand that I need to find evidence that points towards Neanderthals not being nomadic but I dont understand how the correct answer choice (Neanderthals saved gazelle teeth for use in religous rituals and later discarded them) helps prove that they are not nomadic.

I just took a PT and at least 20 of the LR question were from the core curriculum. That was really disappointing. The test list did not indicate whatsoever that I had already taken a large number of these questions.

Your drill results should be reflected in your analytics. Potentially, they could come with a checkbox to include them, so users could continue to view analytics for just PrepTests, or decide to include the results of drills in their analytics along with the Preptests.

I find it hard to accurately judge which questions I struggle on the most since the analytics only reflect questions taken in full PrepTests. If you are getting a question type wrong in drills and right in PrepTests, why should that data be left out? Adding a checkbox to include drill results would be the best of both worlds. You can see what you are getting wrong generally, with drills and Preptests, while also still being able to see only the types of questions you struggle on in actual testing environments.

I understand that this is potentially something that could be harder to code on the site (really I have no idea, I don't know anything about computer science), but I think this could make the experience of using 7sage much better and lead to more accurate analytics if it has the option to include all the questions a user takes, whether drill or Preptest.

Hi! Now that the old PT's have been renumbered starting at 101-158 I'm not sure what to use for drilling, full length sections, and full length PT's. I'm trying my best not to run out of study material, any advice?
