Hi there, I am new to this platform. But I will be intensively studying on LSAT for the next a few months. If any one wants to be a great study partner to encourage one another and hold each other accountable, feel free to message me!

Blessings to all!

Hiii! My name is Amari and I am currently looking for a study buddy/body double who is on the East Coast of the US? I would like someone who can commit to a 3 days on, 1 day off schedule and study for at least an hour. If you feel like you can accommodate this plan, please hit me up! I am only looking for one study partner at this time! Looking forward to finding a fit! ☺️

LSAC just announced the exclusion of dual enrollment grades in the calculation of your gpa wont be implemented until summer 2027.

If anyone Is thinking to email them or send feedback (https://www.lsac.org/send-us-your-feedback) about how this affects you (in hope of them changing it again) here is my email for inspo:

I am writing to express my concerns regarding the recent policy changes. Adjusting the policy after the current cycle has already opened creates confusion and undermines the benefits of the initial decision. Applicants who planned around the newly announced policy are now being placed in a different position than they reasonably expected when the cycle opened.

The arguments originally presented by LSAC remain highly valid. Access to college courses varies widely among high schools, and students are often poorly advised. High school dual enrollment grades should not continue to negatively impact students once they transition to higher education. Continuing to incorporate high school dual-enrollment grades into the LSAC GPA can therefore create disparities that are unrelated to a student’s undergraduate academic performance. Pushing the implementation back by an entire year diminishes the immediate benefits this policy offers to many applicants.

Rather than delaying the change entirely, I urge LSAC to consider an alternative approach, such as allowing applicants to opt in or opt out of having dual-enrollment grades included in their LSAC GPA during this transition period.

Thank you for your consideration.

My first perfect RC section! Despite scoring well on single LR section practices, I can't seem to get out of the -4/-5 range during PTs. Has anyone else had this experience and know how to break out?

I started studying RC in April after solely focusing on LR, it was odd and I didn’t know how people got so good at RC until I started watching J.Y’s passage explanations

I didn’t watch his passage explanations to try and figure out what details I missed, I obviously missed details as I was getting 12-13 wrong constantly but I watched his passage explanations to see how he was reading

The biggest takeaway that I took from J.Y was his ability to literally connect a sentence from the third paragraph and connect it back to the first paragraph. I saw that J.Y was going sentence by sentence dissecting and piecing it together while still creating an entire passage map that held all the minute details together, it was in realizing this that I incorporated a similar style of reading and it has catapulted my RC score, and today I scored my first -4 on RC ever after 5 months of dedicated study to RC alongside a balance of LR

Thank you 7Sage

Hi! does anyone have any suggestions on classes to take that start with fundamentals on diagramming conditional logic. I am having a terrible problem trying to get the concept to stick. Or if you recommend any classes through 7 sage. Thank you in advance!

In preparing for law school applications; apart from the below, is there any other pieces of information/paperwork to prepare?

• LSAC Score and Writing Exam

• Referral Letters

• Personal Statement

• Resume

• School Transcript

Hi! I'm located in the EST time zone and was looking for a study partner to meet virtually (or in person if you don't mind commuting in the Miami, FL area) to bounce ideas off of.

I'm currently scoring in the 160-170 range and would like to score 170+ on a more definite note.

I'd like to do some sections on our own time and come together to blind review them, or share questions that each other has been stuck on. I sometimes struggle to realize my own mistakes and want to bounce off different techniques that I may not currently be taking into account.

I currently plan to take the October LSAT - but open to any test dates that would like to study with me!

I'm also an LSAT instructor/tutor with 10+ years of private tutoring experience and five years of experience at a major test prep company, where I tutored one-on-one as well as taught in front of a classroom.

I have helped countless LSAT students achieve their law school goals. The LSAT can feel like an insurmountable challenge and is viewed as the predictive indicator of law school success. LSAT requires a way of thinking that might feel unfamiliar to most. It's not a test of intelligence - it is a test of pattern recognition and understanding of the structure of arguments. I help you study strategically so that you develop the skills you will need on test day, such as reading critically, inductive and deductive reasoning, and organizing evidence. I lay the foundation for the skills you will need to succeed in law school! My strength is identifying the techniques that will be most useful to you on test day and shoring up against weaknesses so you can attack the test with confidence. 

I also help craft graduate application essays, supplemental essays, law school application personal statements, and academic papers. I help with ideation, conceptualization, style, grammar, vocabulary, and structure. I guide, support, and help develop craft, de-stressing an often-fraught process.

Feel free to reach out! Happy to chat about where you are on your law school journey.

I just started the content for reading comprehension, and I have found it helpful so far to highlight as I am reading to differentiate between different perspectives, along with different parts of the essay, like the argument, reasoning, or evidence. Is this a common strategy? Or would it be too time-consuming to do on an actual exam?

To what extent do y'all highlight/underline in reading comprehension?

I wrote the lsat writing sample for my initial take, and I thought it was fine. Not my best, not my worst. Nothing glaring, but I have the time and energy to retake if it will differentiate me from similar gpa/lsat applicants. That said -- I would love to wait and see my lsat score before I go ahead and rewrite; if I did great, I won't rewrite. If I did the same, then I would like to.

Does anyone know if I'm able to write an additional LSAT writing portion after receiving my score report given I have a writing sample already on file, or do I waive my ability to rewrite once score-release passes?

I'm also under the impression that if I decide on tuesday, for example, to rewrite and I have one written portion pending, but the other from last year reviewed that I will still see my score. Right?

Appreciate any feedback!

I'm registered for the September LSAT (took April) and I'm doing fine on sections (anywhere from -5 to -3 usually) and when I drill specific question types that I struggle with on the sections on their own, I usually get 100% correct! I think it might just be a stamina issue? I do worse typically on full length tests than on individual sections which is why I think that might be the problem. I don't struggle with time (usually end with around 5-6 minutes that I use to review difficult questions).. lmk if anyone has any advice/tips that I could use to nail this down in the next couple weeks!

From what i understand, for international applicants that have less than 60 US credit hours, LSAC does not report the GPA impact on the median. First of all is this correct? How do admission comitees evaluate the normally would be splitters (higher LSAT lower GPA), since the GPA factor becomes a bit ambiguous. How is the general evaluation of such applicants?

Hey all,

As I finish up my essays for this cycle, my current focus is on the 'why x' essay, probably one of the most important supplementals. I'm wondering what y'all believe makes for a good why x. I know it's a bad idea to just regurgitate the website, and I was planning on doing a 'here are my values/goals, here's resources/clinics/etc you have that match those, here's what I'll do with them."

Thoughts?

Looking like I won't get off the waitlist and will have to take the LSAT again in October and reapply. Came from Blueprint. Anyone else with a similar journey?

https://www.lsac.org/blog/providing-more-time-adjust-lsac-gpa-changes

Why do they keep flip flopping back and forth without any logic?

Should anyone affected by this just wait this cycle out?

When writing your personal statements, is it adviced to include or avoid contractions?

For context, I'm having trouble fitting all of my content into the character limits, and using the contractions would help the statement fit in the limits but also 'read' smoother/easier for the reader.

Any clarity or suggestions would be appreciated, thanks!

Can we please bring back drill links attached to live classes?

They used to be linked for every live class until June. Thank you!

I think more specificity/stats on the analytics page in general would be helpful. However, one thing that I think would be really cool to have on the analytics page is more insight into different question types. I know you can see your accuracy over a certain time period, but I'd love to see a chart on whether I've improved/regressed on a specific question type over time. Also, maybe more stats on which question types I tend to spend the most time on, which ones I BR the most, which ones I switch answers on the most, etc. I think this could be helpful for people to know so they can really focus their studying, recognize their (maybe bad) habits, and ultimately improve in these areas.

Hi y’all!

Looking for people in the Dallas area to study alongside on weekends, in person. Not a class or a group lesson, just a set time and place to show up, work on our own stuff, and help each other out when someone’s stuck.

Where I’m at: low 160s, goal is 171+, testing February 2027. Working through the 7Sage Comprehensive study plan.

What I’d be working on: the study plan, drills, blind review, and law school application materials.

When: Saturday and Sunday, a few hours each. Mornings work best for me but I’m open.

Where: somewhere with tables and decent wifi. I’m in North Dallas, so anywhere around Dallas, Plano, Addison, Frisco, Garland would be good. Open to suggestions.

If you’re up this way and want the accountability, comment or message in thw group chat.

Congratulations to our August Community Lottery winners!

Is it too late to take the November LSAT and apply this cycle? Will it significantly affect scholarships?

Hi all, I got an email saying I am registered for the September LSAT, but I didn't sign up for this, nor did I pay for it.... has anyone else gotten similar emails? Are they doing this for all August LSAT takers?
