Just wanted to know if anyone knows anything about this law school

Hi former 7sage subscriber to LSAT resources, which helped me get into Pepperdine Law ! I was wondering if anyone who has taken immigration law would mind sending me their outline and/or notes? This is the first time my school is offering this course, so I'm struggling to find an immigration law outline to help guide my studying and my own outline. Would appreciate it so much thanks.

Hi,

What is the difference between premise indicator vs. context? The way I understood was that context are just additional info to lead up to the premise.

With score release being today, I'm expanding the original scope of discussion for this. So we will discuss how to respond to disappointing scores as well as considering cycle delays. Hope to see some folks tomorrow.

Choosing to delay a cycle is a hard decision. It's one that makes many of us feel like we've failed. Often, though, we just underestimated the full extent of the undertaking. Law school is hard. It's really hard. And with the possible exception of the MCAT--and even then, for very different reasons--the LSAT is the hardest standardized test there is. So if you're facing a decision about what to do moving forward, you are not alone. I faced the same thing, made a hard call, and everything worked out fine. The decision that was right for me may not be the decision that's right for you. Each situation is a little different, and none of us will be balancing all the same factors the same. But if you're facing down the end of this cycle and aren't sure how to proceed, I hope you'll join me. Everything will be okay. You will figure it out. If my example can be of any help, I am glad to share my experience.

Hi everyone,

I'm a 173 scorer (4 months of study) and now tutoring students part-time. I offered a bunch of pro-bono tutoring this month and had a great response with almost to two dozen sessions.

I'm offering up some more sessions to help people get their studying on the right track. If you have questions about how to use your time effectively, building strategies for specific sections, or anything else big-picture LSAT study - feel free to reach out.

You got this (3(/p)

Greetings, All!

Hey everyone, I'd like to hear your thoughts on this.

I recently got hired for another paralegal position (I had one in the past, but I switched over to doing remote freelance paralegal work on Upwork for the past few months to focus on the LSAT). Do you guys think I should add that to my resume? The start on the resume would show 11/2022 and I'm planning on submitting my application right after I get the November LSAT back. I already have a few positions in my work history, not a lot but not insignificant either.

Thanks!

I have thought a lot , over the past year, about the finitude of official lsat questions published by lsac, and the finitude of practice tests. i think theres only 92 or 93 prep tests. What happens if i run out of all of these before I arrive at my goal scores? I have tried to "pretend to forget" how to play certain games , but it doesnt work. i immediately remember how to play the game, the major inferences etc. same thing with logical reasoning questions. even if i havent seen the question in 8 months, i immediately remember the right answer. this is a bad feeling because i didnt earn the right answer. and its a terrible way to get a ballpark diagnostic in my opinion. and its also bad preparation for my REAL test, where i will be faced with all new games and questions.

how do you approach the reality of finite lsat prep test resources? manhattan prep creates bunches of logic games from scratch which is cool, but does anything like that exist for logical reasoning? do any companies create logical reasoning questions that i can try to solve with fresh eyes?

I heard that the Logic Games would be removed in 2023, does anyone know which month or if this is even true? I plan to take my LSAT in February and have been studying for a whole year. I always get -0 on LG and it is my best section that allows me to get a good score after months and months of foolproofing. I read some sources saying June 2023 and some saying January 2023, but also all the sources I read were from 2019 so i'm not even sure if they're accurate. Please lmk if you have any info on this.

Hi, so I've been done the LR section of the curriculum for a while now, and LR is pretty much my best section at the moment, but I have always wondered one question and it's whether or not mapping out hard 5 star LR questions like MBT or parallel method of reasoning is a good habit during PTs and even on test days. JY has typically said to be able to manage it in one's head from what I remember, but I wanna hear if anyone thinks otherwise. This would be on the given scrap paper, obviously.

Hi guys, I took the November Lsat and I’ve just been stressed about not getting the score I was anticipating. If that is the case, do you think the February lsat is too late to take it?

I am an Indian guy looking to change career directions by studying law in US. I don't have much idea about the information process since there's not much available in this part of the world about LSAT and how to go about it. Any responses would be welcome.

Ok so in my November Lsat I kept seeing this weird question stem that I have not seen anywhere before?

I don't really recall the exact wording but it was something like which one of the following could be true but may not be?? something along those lines? It was kind of combining two question stems together? I'm not sure if anyone knows the question stems I'm talking about but if you do please help a man out.

Thanks

Hi everyone! I just took five practice questions and for PT B, section 4, question 25. If anyone has this question open or has worked on it recently, I'd greatly appreciate the help!

I selected D but the answer choice was A, I'm not understanding how the answer ended up being that both towns are comparable in living cost/price. How is this the main point?? Thank you very much in advance :)

I currently have a 154 on the lsat with a 3.43 GPA. I took the November exam two weeks ago, but was interrupted by the proctor. so LSAC gave me a retest today. However, I was distracted by people talking from each side of the room and flunked my logic games section. I doubt I made a score higher than 154 and already took the lsat three times this year. I usually score around the high 150s and low 160s which is why I was so disappointed in how things turned out. What should I do at this point? Should I just attend a lower ranked law school? How much will my personal statement or resume help with my admission? Thanks!

Hi! I'm trying to study logic games by type (ie. In/Out., Grouping, Linear, etc.). Is there a resource where the games for PTs 1-93 are comprehensively sorted? Thanks

I've been plateauing in the low 160s - mid 160s for almost 6months. I went through all the popular prep books and have started re-reading them recently to check if I missed any fundamentals. To be honest, I think I am weak in all three sections. Usually, when I drill (timed mode), I don't get as many questions wrong as I do in PTs. For example, when I recycle my old PTs, including those I don't even remember the questions, I usually get 0-2 wrong in games, 3-5 wrong in LR, and 4-6 wrong in the RC. For the PTs I do remember, I tend to score better.

Whenever I try new PTs, the problem is that my score always returns to the low 160s. I missed so many questions that I think I could have gotten right. Recently, I get around 160-164 as scaled score while my blind review score is around low 170s. I feel extremely pressured when solving new PTs, but I don't know why this is constantly happening. Is it just because I didn't practice enough? I get disappointed in myself every day and feel totally lost. What should I do to break out of this endless plateau?

I received a couple noise violations during my freshman year in the student dorms. I was written up by the RA and had to meet with them to discuss the community guidelines. I was given a warning, but nothing else came of it. Is this something law schools expect us to disclose on a C&F addendum? This isn't on my permanent record, and I didn't receive any other disciplinary action related to the incident.

So, for questions that the answer choices have 'one' in them>>>

Example

"The end of an action is the intended outcome of the action and not a mere by-product of the action, and the end's value is thus the only reason for the action."

When I attacked this one, I eliminated the choices that had "One can" in them because I didn't think that was the subject of the conclusion.

Can anyone explain how to approach answer choices with that ("one can") in them, and why I need to be able to decipher what the choice is really summarizing about the conclusion?

Is there a stimulus to know that one of these types of choices will be correct?

I just understand the mindset I should have towards questions like these. These are some of the more difficult type LR questions (174 was the cap on the gray scale).

Much appreciated!

Hey everyone, i'm currently scoring in the low to mid 160's and i'm aiming to increase it to the upper 160's. I always BR there and definitely think it's possible. However, I have a limited amount of prep tests and only 10 weeks til my test. For those who overcame this hurdle, can you give some advice on what you did differently or started doing that got you there. Whether it is new drills, how you started approaching certain sections, study tips, etc.. I'm open to any suggestion and would highly appreciate it!

Hey all,

I took a diagnostic a few months ago and have taken maybe 4 PTs total. I am in no rush to take PTs but take a PT when I am too bored of CC.

One of my problems is I can't finish more than ~12 Qs per timed section (minus LG lol I finish way less here). A month ago my PT score was 135 --> 151 BR, and yesterday it was 132 --> 152 BR. I'm not happy with either, as my goal is 170 and hope to take the LSAT July 2023. I also work part-time and have obligations, so I study/review CC every other day for ~ 3 hours.

My questions are: is it normal to see very slow change? Should I focus on and complete CC before taking PTs? It's also hard to find motivation when I'm sucking so hard. Any and all advice welcome (3(/p)

Hello All! Although I am not applying this cycle (2022 to begin Fall 2023) I will be applying next cycle and would love to learn when is the best time to visit law schools and meet with admissions. I know they are very busy certain times of the year and would want to be respectful of that and of course meet with them at the most convenient times. I live on the west coast and will be planning a east coast tour so any feedback or advise is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much.

Please help!

Whats your study plan for January?

Please help, I am having trouble understanding why A is wrong. We know that dietary changes --affect--> high cholesterol ---correlates / causes ---> heart disease, and we know that dietary changes don't affect lipoprotein(a). So the fact that the argument fails to consider the possibility that lipoprotein(a) raises cholesterol levels seems like a flaw to me because we can't conclude there is no reason for people to make dietary changes for preventing heart disease.

This is my line of reasoning: if lipoprotein(a) raises cholesterol level, which is affected by dietary changes, then we can't conclude "there is no reason to make dietary changes for preventing heart disease" because we know dietary changes affect cholesterol level which in turn is correlated with heart disease. Basically, if lipoprotein raises cholesterol levels, then people might want to change their diet and stop consuming foods that contain lipoprotein. I watched the explanation video many times, and I still don't understand why A is irrelevant.

Any help would be appreciated, thank you!!
