Anyone else super nervous? I feel like I probably scored right at the borderline of the score margin I want and I’m losing my mind. Either went really well or will have to cram for the November test, all I can think about right now.

What is the best PT to take in the week of the November LSAT? (Only taking 1) Preferably something "easy" in the 80s.
Explanation?
trying to get a situated schedule for the last 2 weeks
I've a little bit of an odd question and hope the 7Sage community has some informed opinions on that. I've spent years in legal academia and compiled a list of roughly 20 publications in journals, law reviews, and textbooks. This comes in addition to a number of talks I gave at various law schools and memberships in professional organizations. I'm applying to law school because I want to change sides: from academia to practice.
Do you think I should include a comprehensive list of publications, talks, and professional memberships as an addendum? I somehow feel like it's relevant and it definitely wouldn't fit below my resume.
Thanks for your advice!
Is the crystal ball prediction out?
How many practice tests should one take in a week?
Hi everyone! I am going to be taking the Nov 2022 LSAT and I really want to drill down on fool proofing LG. I was wondering how to go about this. Should I go back to each PT and do all 4 games timed? then BR? then if I get even -1, do that certain game 10 times? I am not sure how to go about this. Does anyone have step by step instructions on how to fool proof?
Thank you :)
I am taking the November 2022 LSAT. I took the LSAT twice already. I scored a 152 the first time, I went to retake a few months later and scored a 150. I was devastated and I didn’t know what to do. I gave up my law school dreams for a few years and decided to pick it up in January. After months of grinding back at the start of core curriculum again, I broke 160 in august, and hovered at 158-161 for a few months, after PT91 today I broke 165! Improving is possible, stay on your grind.
I took the most recent pt and scored 22 correct on one LR section and only 9 correct on the other section.
Throughout my LSAT studies, my score for LR varies significantly per section. Either 18-22 correct on one section and 9-15 correct on the other.
What does this mean? Any tips or strategies to consistently get my LR score between the 18-22 correct range for both sections?
Recently received advice that for my goal score - currently averaging 152 to 154 (sorry im typing this after a very long day) - just need around 7-10 more answers total correct to get what I need for my top schools. advice was to keep up LR and Reading and try to improve these sections, but since thats around -8 -9 and logic games is around - 11to -13, it makes most sense with the time crunch to keep drilling logic games as everyone has labeled this section "easiest to improve on."
I agree, and I can see why. Please help me though. The reading comes to me more naturally than logic games and I know its because it takes time / practice / nothing like you've ever done in academic history etc, I know my brain and im trying to articulate that these puzzles are very hard for me in a general sense. I usually can get the set up pretty good for most games even if im not too fast at it, understand the logic behind it, but the questions is where I go wrong. yes I know there is video explanations. I have been watching them. its hard to keep up with the question format in the explanations vs what I have on paper (with such strict time constraints) and the explanations are not necessarily helping me improve, even when I truly am listening and taking it in.
It would mean the world to me for thorough advice and step by step insight. What would you do in my situation, specifically? Im willing to put in the work, but feel like I need to change something.
Thank you so much in advance.
Hi everyone. I am a white female currently applying for law schools. I would like to put "decline to answer" on the race section of the application, because I think it's unfair that schools even ask that and is unnecessary. I believe it is, unfortunately, second nature to be prejudicial when you have this information. So, my question is: is this a bad idea? Will it look worse on me if they do find out my race later on? Will this cause me more harm? Any insight would be great, thank you.

Please no pretentious comments. I need real advice. Taking November LSAT and just need 158 to 160 for high likelihood of getting into my schools, lmu chapman usd etc. please help me out with the best study techniques for for these last two weeks. I can do it.
I only need about 5-7 more correct answers on average which means either perfecting one section or a little bit in each. What would you do? Drill drill drill?
Can someone help me with logic games?
Please any genuine and thorough advice would mean the world catered specifically to my situation / goals
I've gone through about 50-60 games so far (PT 1-35). I'm having a lot of trouble of creating the initial master board for never seen before games. That's my main issue, once I make the proper boards, I can clear the questions quickly.
Foolproofing has been "working" so far. For games that initially took me 15 minutes just to get half of the questions wrong because I don't know what the hell I was doing when making the masterboard, now takes me 5-7 minutes because I foolproofed them so many times.
It looks like my biggest fear is coming true. Foolproofing is making me faster at memorizing the games itself. Rather than memorizing the important inferences needed to be made when attacking never seen before games. To note, when I do foolproof, I do the whole game from scratch without memorizing the game rules, I try my best not to make any "cheat" inferences which are completely unintentional, but rather memorized because I foolproofed it (doing the game so many times over and over again)
Any tips?
I am very geographically limited as I know I want to live in California and have been here my whole life. Only applying to USD and Chapman. Love LMU and Pepperdine but cant do locationally / financially. I do not want any pretentious comments or unsolicited advice. Please only respond if you know which law school is worth going to more, I know chapman is a great school but personally know 4 people from USD law who created great success for themselves. Yes, I am also aware stats are available online. I looked things up and am nonetheless confused or feeling ambiguous. Please let me know which school has what pros / cons from any knowledge you have. I need guidance and help, nothing negative please!
I’m scheduled for the November lsat and for the past four days I’ve been consistently getting a 161 instead of my usual 165-166. I’m reviewing all my wrong answers and understand the logic, but it doesn’t seem to help. I don’t know what I can do to help my score stabilize in the next week or so. Does anyone have any advise?
This is my first time taking the LSAT. I’m kind of freaking out and am not sure if I should reschedule my test or not.
I am taking the Nov Lsat and I really want to improve LR as much as I can in the next two weeks. My logic game is pretty strong and RC is average. For LR, I average about -10 to -11. I want to make the most out of the time I have remaining but I am stuck on how to improve. Should I just keeping drilling previous Logical reasoning sections? My goal score range is between 158-160 to get into the school I want.
Hi! Im taking a month or two off studying, and I wanted to "cancel" my membership for those two months. Does anyone know if I will lose all of my test data if i cancel for two months and renew in January?
!
This is a bit of a picky random question, but I was wondering if the online version of the official LSAT has the X's to cross out answers that you believe are wrong. I don't want to get used to this feature then feel naked if it doesn't exist on the actual LSAT. For those who have taken the test, please let me know. Thanks!!
Looking for someone to study with at least once a week. And just hold each other accountability that we are studying everyday.
After taking a drill, and reviewing your results, there is a "priority" category. Which will either say "v low" or "v high"
What does this mean? I'm constantly getting the "v low" ones correct, but not always the "v high" which I am concerned about.
I am scheduled to take the November and January LSAT. I received time accommodations for January only. I been thinking about canceling the November exam to put all my focus on January since I would have to adjust my PT exams to match my accommodations. Should I take the November test to see how proctoring goes so I know what to expect in January or is it not worth it?
I find myself getting a little overwhelmed with the study methods and how to logically reason myself to understand the correct answers before they are explained. My first practice test did not go well and left me a bit discouraged. Does anyone have some advice on ways I can help prep myself a little better.
Hello, is there a way to remove the option of closed captioning automatically appearing when you start a video? I know you can downgrade the video player's functionality, but I like to use most of the functions its just that the closed captioning feature always needs to be manually turned off for every video explanation. IS there anyway to remove this "auto-on" feature for CC. #help
