Lots of applications require separate essays for each Scholarship.

NYU app has like 20 different schollys listed in the app each requiring an essay.

Berkeley has at least 3 different scholarship essays

How are those who are applying for Schollys handling these? Are you just checking the box that you're applying without submitting the essays?

Or can one simply point them to PS?

It seems like there's no downside to applying for EACH scholarship even though the chances are small of getting them. Anyone in the same boat?

On ordering games where a rule says x is lower than y, does that mean x is less than y? For example, if there are 6 slots, if y is 2 then x is 1 right? Or did I just completely bomb the November exam LOL.

I took the LSAT twice (cancelled one, kept one) and I'm planning on taking it one last time (fingers crossed!) in February. I didn't finish the core curriculum before taking either test, but I'm wondering if it's worth going back and trying to get through everything in full if I already have a pretty decent understanding of the basics, plus the extra experience of 2 real tests. Is there a good way to approach this so I don't have to start completely from the beginning?

I have a professor who I've worked with in the classroom as a teaching assistant. He's seen me explain class concepts to students and can vouch for my communication abilities, but he's never personally graded me. Is this sufficient for an academic reference?

I have a couple of full-time positions and internships which I have put in the main experience section but every time I wasn't working at a full-time job or interning in college, I was still hustling to make ends meet but they were jobs like being a security guard on the weekends, driving for door dash/UberEATS after school.

Would this even be something I should include? Personally, I want to include it because it did make up a significant part of my undergrad experience, for four years I was always working in some capacity to be able to afford my education and I would like to highlight that onto my resume in some way.

Recently in tests, with regards to the LR section, I've been scoring perfect or near perfect on all the four-star/five-star "curve breaker" questions, though been getting some three star and two star questions wrong, and on the occasion a one-star question too. What could the possible cause be you think? Seems like an odd pattern I want to fix as I really think I can master LR once I fix this issue. Note, I almost always get more 3 star and 2 star questions wrong than 4/5 star questions.

Hi everyone!

I experienced proctor interruptions during my LSAT on my very first section, which took time away from answering questions and forced me to guess the ones I could not get to. Due to this, I am seeking an LSAT retake. I was wondering if anyone else has had a similar circumstance and if the retake test difficulty was similar to the original testing date. I genuinely thought that the Nov. LSAT was fair but unfortunately, stress from the interruptions got the best of me and my ability to concentrate. I am nervous that the retake will be a different level of difficulty and end up being worst. What do you guys think?

Is this happening for anyone else? I just recently faced this problem for the past two weeks and it is really annoying not being able to create drills on specific problems I need to work on. I have already removed caches and cookies from chrome. It is just the LR that is not working for me, but RC and LG works fine.

I have been out of undergrad for 3 years and work full time as a legal assistant. I scored a 150 in June and a 158 in October (I started using 7Sage in August to help study prep) I feel confident since my PT scores are in the 165+ range that I should re-take in January. I am working on safety school apps as well at the moment and plan to apply to goal school in February with my new score. If I have another significant score increase, do I need to write a LSAT addendum? What are the recommendations for people with multiple scores?

I NEVER thought I would get to the point of actually being interested in the test just for the sake of information but here I am. 🤡

There was a really interesting LR question on the November test about a bird that makes a high-pitched warning call... Does anyone remember what kind of bird it was?? I genuinely want to look it up!

During high school and beginning of college, I did not really care about my grades.

Thanks to my high school dual credit classes and 1st year classes in college, I acquired a CAS GPA under a 3.0.

There is not any context to share from being an irresponsible student other than saying that I used to have depression. However, I do not think that's a reasonable excuse. I do not think my depression was the result of a chemical imbalance (which is also theoretical itself), but instead was the result of my poor decisions, life style, and habits.

I know there is no harm of writing an addendum, but this is the only context I think is worth mentioning. What do you guys think?

How important is choosing the right school that specializes in the field of law you want to study but may be harder to get accepted vs a school that may be easier to get into but doesn't have a specializtion in the field of law you prefer? I'm stuck on what is the most important. I feel like maybe just get accepted into A school then worry about everything else. Any opinions?

Hey all,

I would appreciate some insights into my situation. This might sound a bit crazy, but I've taken the LSAT seven times over a four-year period (2 takes before testing limits were placed). I was a reckless college kid and was really just taking the test for the heck of it for the first few times. As a result, I got three cancels on my record and improved by almost 30 pts from the first take. But my performance was stable in the last three takes (within 10 pts). So should I write an addendum to provide a narrative? I'm an ESL student, and it has been a struggle and I might be a bit obsessive. But I really don't want AOs to think I'm pathological with this test.

Not looking for extraneous detail or any thing, just wondering, its possible for the first section on the lsat to be experimental? Unlikely but possible, or is it truly random and totally possible on account of that randomness?

I was so frustrated when the proctor unmuted his mic and told me to "stand up!" I then told him no because I was taking my test and the time was ticking, in which he replied "okay, sorry." I lost my train of thought while working on a logic game and had to start over. As a result, I was not able to finish the last two questions of that section which left me frustrated throughout the rest of the exam.

Will I be able to re-take the LSAT?

Hey Everyone,

Hope all is well! I've been studying since July and am looking for a tutor at this point in my LSAT journey. Anybody know where I should be looking?

For context, my diagnostic was a 156 and I've since built up to PTing around 164. On some occasions, I've scored as high as 170 on PTs. I scored a 163 on the October administration, and literally took November today where I was absolutely demoralized by the games section. This took place even though I committed the last month to intense focus on games. Thus, I'm pretty sure I didn't hit my target score of 170. If anyone is reading this, feel free to provide me some advice or send some tutors my way. I'm panicking! Thanks.

There's articles online from Kaplan that says this about the digital lsat:

"Test-takers are given a tablet, blank test booklet, and stylus/pen for test-taking."

Is this true?
