Who is planning to take the August 11 LSAT and has just recently started studying?

With the April LSAT only a week away, I wanted to wish everyone who's taking it the best! I'll be taking it for the third time on the 14th and am getting pretty nervous lol For anyone who feels similarly, don't worry, think about all the time you put into your preparation, it will carry you through to the end!

Hi Friends,

I built an app for myself that randomly generates arguments in the different valid and invalid forms we learn in the curriculum. The actual text is business and financial jargon; I tried to mirror the LSAT in terms of content. Anyway, if this would be useful, I can put it in the cloud so others can play with it!

I recorded a demo in the link below.

Hello everyone,

I really want to hear about the study method that has helped you the most. I've taken the LSAT twice before and scored a 160 both times. My goal is to improve by at least six more points. Currently, whenever I take an untimed test, I score in the high 160s and low 170s, but on timed tests the score is often times in the low 160s. On test days, I take the test timed, do a blind review and then watch the explanation videos for questions I was unsure of and questions that I got wrong. It is often times difficult for me to sit through the videos and stay focused. I used this method for the last two times that I have studied for the test, and it obviously has not gotten me to the point where I want to be. I would love to hear about how you study for the test or if you have any suggestions! Thank you for your help!!!

Four years ago, I took a diagnostic, and after seeing my results, I dropped the idea of going to law school. After a year or so, I resumed studying and got a good score.

Today, I've accepted an offer from my dream school - Fordham Law, with $$+. (About Fordham. Among others. The employment outcome is excellent. The campus is breathtaking, in a great location with so many opportunities. The class size of 400+ students gives a vast network).

Thanks 7sage! And thanks to all my study buddies! Especially Graeme @SufficientCondition and @JordanJohnson

I am barely getting these questions correct and i am about to give up. Could someone please tell me your methods for approaching these questions cause negating isnt working for me.

Hello everyone,

I plan to apply to law school this fall but at the moment I'm going through a difficult time at work. The job isn't very glamorous, I'm an Operations Assistant at a Real Estate brokerage, but it pays the bills and is giving me networking opportunities as well as a Letter of Recommendation. With that said however, I've decided to quit this job because there's just too many problems and it's time to move on. However, I'm a little concerned when to quit because law schools dissect every part of your resume if you're a nontraditional law school applicant.

I reach the 2yr threshold in July and I'm more than capable of putting up with these problems til then. However, if I don't have to, I'll give them my 2 weeks and quit sooner.

So my question is: do law schools place a bigger emphasis on the number of years (an even 2yrs) that you've worked at a place or does it just not matter after you've crossed 1yr or 1.5yrs?

Maybe I'm overthinking this but I'm concerned that working less than 2yrs at this job will seem suspect and will weaken my application.

Please participate in the poll and/or let me know your thoughts.

Thank you

I have been missing -4 pretty consistently on LR for a long time. I started around -6, been studying for about 3 months. I know I can get my LR down to -2. Anyone been in this situation have any tips?

Are the words "and" and "but" logically the same?

I believe I read this or heard this somewhere; just wanted to be sure.

Looking to help out a few people who are finding it difficult to improve in Logical Reasoning. If LR feels like your cryptonite and is bringing down your overall score, dm me.

I was curious if any others have had issues playing 7Sage explanation videos. I first noticed the issue last night and rationalized it as an network connectivity problem, but the same issue continued today too.

How seriously should we take the "actual score" that's provided on our PTs? I can't help but feel like it's an inflated score. For instance, on PT 55, getting nine wrong would've been 167 according to the original curve, but a 170 according to 7sage's "actual score" predictor. What am I supposed to make of this?

If my "actual score" is always a couple points higher than the score assigned to me by the original curve, isn't this implying that the new LSATs are just easier?

Any clarification would be appreciated!

If so who is down for a study group? My goal score is at least a 165 or higher!

Hi all! I am really struggling to understand why B is incorrect. I know now that D is the right option, but I'm not sure how to structurally identify why in other LR sections. I'd appreciate any help/explanations!

Hello. I'm applying to law school in the fall, and I'd like as much input as possible on what my chance of a T3 school are.

Hards: 176 Lsat, 3.98 GPA

Softs: 1 year working for a lawyer, plus a separate summer internship for a NY supreme court judge (hopefully... I don't actually have the job yet.

250 hours (roughly a year) volunteering for the Crisis text line.

Skills: coding (python, java etc.) unrelated to my undergraduate degree.

Great letters of recommendation from my boss, professor and super at the text line.

Are my chances above 50% ah HYS... or even superman wouldn't be a guarantee in at the top?

P.S. I'm a white male, so not a URM.

All input appreciated, thank you in advance 🙏

Hello everyone! I could not find any study group on Discord so I just made a new LSAT study group and would love to connect with you all! Please feel free to pass the link around and I look forward to studying with you guys soon. Thank you!

I’m scoring 150s on my diagnostic. I want to get to 170. I have the power score bibles for logic games and logical reasoning which I’m going through. Also, should I complete ALL of the core curricula ? What are y’all’s thoughts on the loophole ? Should I get that book too?

Does anyone how I can improve on weaken questions? I really having a tough time with them.

I understand you have to weaken the support the premise gives the conclusion, but how? Am I questioning the premises? Is there something I'm looking for? Do I say, what if it's something else?

How do I weaken the support? In what ways???

Why is D correct when it says opposing views are discussed 'briefly". #help

why is it not required to block out that Mayor Drabble could repay her debt to Lee immediately in some other way? Why is the temporal aspect more important by the stimulus? Was stuck between A and E. #help

Does anyone write down the board for the acceptable situation question 1? I feel like this could potentially help on future questions to show a could be true answer or something similar. Or is this too risky in case you get it wrong?

The LSAC has not released an official August test date, but they usually hold one each test cycle. Do you guys think there will be one? Cuz I don't necessarily think I will be prepped enough by the June Test date.

I encountered a question with an answer choice that said something like "companies are no more likely to do X if B than if A"

This feels like a riddle to me, and I am not exactly sure what relationship is established here. My best guess was that this means that if B, then X is either the same level or less likely than if A. Is that correct or is there a better way to interpret this relationship?

I'm finding myself confused with how LSAC scales your raw score on prep tests. I'm in a prep course and have taken several official prep tests and have had instances where my raw score has differed significantly, yet my scaled score doesn't show such improvement. I will list my scores and coinciding practice tests below...

PT 84: raw score 44. scaled 144.

PT 65: raw score 50. scaled 146.

PT 85: raw score 54. scaled 148.

PT 81: raw score 60. scaled 152.

PT 86: raw score 60. scaled 153.

PT 87: raw score 69. scaled 157.

PT 88: raw score 65. scaled 155.

PT 89: raw score 70. scaled 157.

My concern is that when looking at general estimated LSAT raw score conversion charts, a 69 can be scaled up to a 173 or 75 can be up to 180 scaled. That's a pretty big difference in the scaled scores I'm seeing! How is this determined and are the 4 section prep tests that I've been using to practice scaled differently than the Flex format and that is why I'm seeing such a difference on these charts?
