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!

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.

Cancel, 170, Cancel????

Hey everyone, your advice would be much appreciated. I did a very dumb thing and retook a 170. In my defense, I was PTing between 173-178 for the last 3 months, which is the only reason I decided to do it. Score release today was a nightmare and I got a 167, which I haven't scored since before the June test. There were no extenuating circumstances besides test anxiety and normal Proctor U issues. I have score preview, but I'm not sure whether a second cancel would look worse than a 3 point score drop. Things to consider (1) Admissions could assume the cancel was much worse than a 167 (2) 167 and 170 are technically in the same score band, but now it looks like I am at the lower end rather than the higher end (3) I can't retake before my applications are due so don't ask lol. If it helps, I am a nURM, nKJD, 3.90 applicant that graduated a year early from a non-ivy with some international/bilingual work experience trying for a T-10 school (NYU is my dream). Thanks for all of your help! I've heard such mixed things.

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?

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?

Experimental Section

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 am debating whether or not to take my LSAT this weekend or wait it out till January. I don't feel very confident I will get the score I want (160+) but I also don't want to wait too long to submit a complete application. I guess my question is if I can ensure I'll get a much better score holding off till January, will that hurt my chances into getting into the school I want? The application deadline for the schools I'm looking at are all in the beginning of march. By the way this is my last time I'm able to take the test (already taken it 4 times). I probably already know my answer, but should I take the test knowing I'll probably score below the median or wait, continue my studies, and shoot for the 75th percentile (162 for the main school I'm looking at).

We are given a tablet?

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?

Advice & Looking for Tutor

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.

Hi all! Basically asking the question in the title. I'm up for November but for some reason I can't shake the fear that I won't be ready for it (as in, not the best I could do for the schools I want to get into). I've spoken to a few of the schools I wanted to apply to and they've all said they take the January LSAT, but I worry that even if I get a higher score in Jan than November, it will be too late to apply.

I should clarify I am confused about the negations! How does it result that from a statement such as "All cats are black" to Neg Some cats /black OR (this is the one I'm confused about)... cats and /black. I don't understand the "and"?

random thoughts

current 3L here - I was watching Barbri videos on 1.75x speed which reminds of the time I was watching all JY vidoes on 1.5x speed. Contrary to my user name, I actually never got that 173 on LSAT, but did get into a T20 and will start in biglaw starting next summer.

Looking back it's amazing how much I've changed over the last 2.5 years of law school. I'm turning this into an AMA, so if you have questions or need encouragement ask away.

I recently took a PT untimed and got a 170. I am looking to meet anyone living in Seoul to meet and talk about the LSAT and maybe deal with whatever we can. I know how to approach and study for the test now but we can maybe meet and talk about what we can do to improve. I think essentially it is productive to meet offline and talk about this. We can meet at Wing Study Café at Exit 9 of Gangnam station. They charge 1,900 KRW per hour for each person. In other words, if we meet for three hours, the cost would be 5,700 KRW per person. I can also tutor for free if anyone is just starting and want to learn the basics of the LSAT. If we meet for a tutoring, we would divide the cost of using the study café 1/n. In other words, no need to pay me anything other than the fee for using the study café for yourself. Please send me an inbox. Thanks!

Apologies in advance for the urgency but I am taking the LSAT on Saturday and my account isn't linking to my LawHub Account. I paid for PrepPlus already.

I made a new account on 7sage instead of using my old account since it's older but now I'm having issues using the site specifically drills. it keeps asking me to link it and when I click the link or try via the email I received it says user is already registered to this coach.

Do I need to delete my other 7sage account?

Hardest prep tests?

I know this has been asked prior but in light of 93 being released, anyone have their take on the hardest prep tests available to us currently? I've heard a lot about the high 80s and especially 84 but I wondered if there was a general consensus, despite the subjective nature of the experience. I got a 172 on 84 but I am curious if it was just easy/fluke or, if like some of the Reddit analyses I've read, it really was a difficult test for many.

LSAT Tomorrow!

Hey everybody! Tomorrow/the day after is game day! Good luck. I'm rooting for you. What are you going to do today to relax/get ready? Personally, I'm gonna take one last mini-drill (a logic game, a reading passage, and 5 LR Q's) then go on a hike or get into nature, workout, maybe game a bit, etc. I'm proud of the work I've done, and you should be too. We're all going to make it. I will be sending out big-brain vibes to you all tomorrow.

Pre-Phrasing is not perfect, but certainly can aid in eliminating questions. I am looking for Question Types that work very consistently with Pre-Phrasing. Below is a list of Questions Types that I believe work consistently, but I would love to create a discussion and get additional perspectives.

Main Point/Conclusion

Argument Part

Fill-In

Flaw

Parallel Flaw

Method of Reasoning

Parallel Method of Reasoning

Point of Agreement

Point of Disagreement

Counter

Contradiction
