30 year-old here, graduated college 8 years ago. Splitter with 174 LSAT, 3.61 CAS GPA. Nothing happened to me while I was in school, but it was a long time ago and I don't think my GPA reflects where I'm at now.

Is it appropriate to write a short (few sentences) addendum saying the above? Or will it be obvious to admissions officers that my undergrad was a while ago and the addendum would be an annoyance?

Thanks 7sage community!

M → F

/J → /M

/M

I took the contrapositive of M > F which got me /F > /M

Then I inferred that /F or /J would net me /M. Which means that the arrows can split in the sufficient condition.

Which means the sufficient assumption for /M would either be to negate F (/F), or to make it that /F > /J (/F > /J > /M)

Is this correct? Or am I missing some other possible sufficient assumption.

Hello everyone!

My name is Ken. My friends and I host an LSAT study meeting at Gangnam every Sunday. We do not charge to attend this meeting but ask that each participant only pays for his or her usage of the meeting room at the study cafe. If anyone else wants to join, please read the conditions below and send me a message to my inbox! (:

  • This LSAT study meeting takes place from 2:00 pm-5:00 pm every Sunday at the Gangnam station Exit 9 Wing Study Cafe.

  • The language of the study meeting is English and English only. Any constituent speaking Korean will be asked to speak in English. We will accept a mixture of English and Korean (Konglish).

  • We do not make a profit hosting this LSAT study meeting other than asking each constituent to pay for his or her usage of the meeting room at the study cafe. The fee for using this meeting room is 6,000 KRW per person (1,900 KRW per hour for each person x 3 hours = 5,700 KRW rounded up to 6,000 KRW). This fee must be paid for in advance as soon as the constituent confirms in writing that he or she will attend the upcoming study meeting. The cause for paying the fee in advance as soon as possible is because we have to reserve the meeting room at the study cafe according to the number of constituents attending the meeting.

  • The refund will be issued only if the cancellation is made 48 hours prior to the start time of the study meeting. For example, a constituent has to cancel at latest by 2:00 pm on Friday to receive the refund.

  • The method of payment is KakaoPay and KakaoPay only. The method of refund is KakaoPay and KakaoPay only.

  • Any constituent using profanity or exhibiting an aggressive behavior will be permanently removed from the study meeting.

    • Thanks!

    Hello everyone,

    I am wondering if it is advised to cancel my first LSAT score, if I will be taking another test the following 30 days?

  • If I get a lower score, will LSAC report the amount of attempts I took LSAT/ Would it look unfavorable towards admissions?

  • If second LSAT score is higher, will it just supersede the original score?

    No specifics about the test, just a general question regarding experimental sections. Are experimental sections used multiple times in different years? For example, if a section was included in an administration last year or 2 years ago etc., would its inclusion in a current administration mean it was experimental previously but is now the graded section OR would it be experimental again?

    I've been an officer in the Marine Corps for nearly a decade and I want to make it clear that I am a more disciplined and capable student than I was when I was an immature 21 year old. Cum uGPA of 3.51 and an LSAT of 169. I took several practice LSATs in the mid-high 170s, but on test day I panicked when I realized my phone was on in the background. Anyway, would a LSAT/GPA addendum for schools like Yale be worthwhile? I studied for the LSAT while deployed to the middle east and then while working 60+ hours as an attack helicopter pilot stateside. I don't want to sound whiny, but I do want to instill confidence in the admissions team that I am more capable than my numbers report.

    MBT questions

    Can somebody explain (a) how to find the right answer choice for these questions and (b) dumb down how to do these questions, struggling heavily with getting the right answer choice

    I have an earlier LSAT score of 167. I took the October LSAT yesterday but am afraid it's still not higher than 167. Should I wait to submit app if I plan to take the November test? I'm thinking of submitting app with the 167 score (or a higher score of my October test) in early November, or wait until my November test score comes out. My target is to apply for the Top 30.

    Idk if people who have scored high (170+) can attest to this, but I'm starting to realize that a key factor in this test is also understanding the answer choices just as much as you understand the stimulus/passage especially with tricky questions. This test is not easy! These testmakers are smart and know how to throw us off with questions that don't fit into the cookie cutter mold, while also making really appealing wrong answer choices. I just took a practice test and for many of the questions I fell for their tricks, while also not taking enough time to read each answer choice and fully absorb what it is saying in relation to the stimulus/passage. Not sure if many of you have also realized this, but this is just a tip for anyone who doesn't have a problem understanding the stimulus or passage but is still getting wrong answers. Pay attention to the mental steps you go through when evaluating the answer choices.

    Goodluck to everyone!

    Recently I've taken to honing my skills with Logic Games. I see people posting everywhere that LG is maybe the most difficult, but the easiest to improve on. I've been testing on LG between -17 to -11, with my best being -7.

    I know these aren't necessarily the worst scores but paired with my other sections it's far from where I want it to be.

    When I do a BR, I find that it takes me almost half of the recommended time to set up my diagram, yet I consistently take too long on the questions. I don't know what else I should be doing during that set-up portion of the game. I diagram the rules into a visual notation (even labeling each notation to the rule it represents), then I try to make inferences.

    So what am I doing wrong? It's not like this is part of my unique process where I budget time differently. Am I not making enough inferences? Should I be doing something different when I make my master diagram? I'm open to any ideas or advice!

    In the meantime, I plan to study with the PowerScore Logic Games Bible. I've heard good things about its influence on LG performance. Wish me luck!

    So I missed my Oct test, (my fault PST vs CST) I total miss read the time and when I logged in it was too late.What is the consequences on my application for missing an exam? I will schedule to take it on January again.I called LSAC and they said I can't do anything about it. How will this effect my chances of get into LS?

    Hi everyone! I just finished the exam, but experienced losing my mouse/typing capabilities during the first 10 mins. It was unfortunate timing and I couldn't use the ctrl f function in the passage. It had me really flustered and I waited to finish the passage by using touch screen before notifying the proctor of my technical issues. ProctorU had to restart my computer but to say I was sidetracked is an understatement. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, is there anything that can be done?

    Hi all. I wanted to write this post because I have struggled immensely with the LSAT for over a year. I have never struggled on an exam/anything school related so much in my life. I have always done very well in school and considered myself pretty smart but, most importantly, a very hard worker. With the LSAT I have worked very, very hard and truly given it my all and tried everything. I've taken it twice and both times, unfortunately, my score was much lower than my expectations & practice tests. It has been so frustrating to me to put in so much effort into something and not see the results of that labor.

    The LSAT has challenged me tremendously and really affected my mental and physical health in ways that I have tried so hard to work through for years. All that being said, even though my scores have been disappointing, I'm proud of myself for giving it my all. I'll be studying for a few months and giving it one last shot but I've made a conscious decision not to go crazy over this exam. I will find another way to get into the schools I want, and wherever I end up it's where I'm meant to be.

    As a first-generation college grad, immigrant, and low-income woman of color especially this exam has made me doubt myself in so many ways and doubt whether I am good enough to even go to law school. It is incredibly upsetting and unfair how much importance is given to the LSAT in the admissions process at top schools. In my opinion it is a way of gatekeeping certain kinds of students out and that is so unfair and angering.

    YOU ARE MORE THAN THIS EXAM. Your LSAT score does not define you.

    Hey guys,

    If you took the October 2022 test today, congratulations you did it! If you’re taking it tomorrow like me, get your proper rest and trust your intuition. Many of us having been prepping for months and are sure we’re gonna achieve our target score, some of us are anxious, and some of us are just hoping for the best tomorrow (nervous laughter).

    In the midst of the stress of the LSAT, I thought I would create this post to lighten the nerves for tomorrow. What is your favorite snack and what will you be eating during your 10min break? Comment down below! Best of luck to everyone :)
