I am currently behind I would said 3 weeks behind on my core curriculum (study schedule) I just wanted to know how should I keep going. Should I go through all the lessons then drills? or Should go through lessons do some of the drills and move on so I can catch up? Give me advice on how I should go on about everything. Also I was planning on taking it in April and I have 2 free tests should I take one test in April to just how it is or should I keep my 2 free chances till I am fully ready for the fall?

hi all! I am averaging about -12 on LR prep test and each time it seems to be the 2nd half of the section that I get answers wrong. They tend to be a mixture of tags. Anyone have any advice on fixing this issue?

I took the November 2023 LSAT and reallyyy did not like my score- it was way lower than projected and as I studied, I wasn't really scoring much higher. Recently, however, I've been doing a lot better on my PTs (I've been consistently scoring about 10 points higher on my PTs). Because of my recent breakthrough, I didn't consider canceling my November score until now.

I literally just learned of the 6 day grace period to cancel an LSAT score. This deadline has passed about a month ago for me so I feel screwed. I feel SO STUPID for not looking into this way earlier, but I genuinely didn't think that canceling my score was even acceptable in the first place until I did more research and talked to people about it.

Would anyone have any advice or insight on this issue if they've been through something similar? I'm assuming that I'm going to score at least 5-10 points higher on the Jan LSAT, so is my only choice now to write an addendum for the gap in my scores? I will have to write an addendum for my low UGPA as well, so is it going to look bad to have multiple addendums in my applications?

Help!!! Lol thank you in advance (3(/p)

hi everyone, I explained in my last question about how i worked with a private tutor at another company and i regrettably got a 140. I cancelled my score and changed to a 7sage tutor. I plan to take my next test in april, but now this sets me back in the admissions process (submitting my applications to a school for a possible scholarship). I'll probably talk to a law advisor anyway, but I want a collection of opinions/possible options.

hi everyone, the question is pretty much self explanatory. I worked with a private tutor at another company since july 2023, thinking i would be ready for the november 2023 test. he made me think that the studying i was doing with him would get me a 160, and i regrettably got a 140. I immediately cancelled my score and changed to a 7sage tutor. I plan to take my next test in april.

Dear all,

I came across this article on avg URM LSAT and GPA by school but it is from 2017 and was wondering how accurate it is. I have not been able to find anything more recent:

https://blog.powerscore.com/lsat/do-underrepresented-minority-urm-applicants-have-a-law-school-admissions-advantage/

It basically goes through a dataset of admitted/rejected applicants and shows which schools have lower LSAT/GPA medians for URMs versus their overall medians.

Thanks,

-5 to -7 on LR and RC, -11, -14 on LG. I've been doing games for over a month and my test is in 2 days pretty much. Really thought I was gonna be able to have these click but it just didn't. I thought this was supposed to be the most "learnable" part of this test? What is wrong with me

Any tips to increase speed on LR. I get up to question 19-20 with around 2-4 wrong but the last 5 I tend to have an average of 5 minutes to complete. Should I attack it in a different way maybe going with the lsat 5 Questions first then solving the rest any tips would be great!

Not trying to get into T14 or 25. Middle-of-the-pack schools with medians in the low 160s. Is it worth applying in April? I'm not waiting for another cycle, so it's a matter of applying now or in April. Is it even worth trying?

Is the main conclusion for main conclusion questions always explicitly stated in the stimulus? I was wondering if there was ever a case where the main conclusion turned out not to be in the stimulus but an answer choice that happened to be supported by all the premises in the stimulus. Or would this be a MSS thing instead?

Thanks.

I'm planning to take the August 2024 test and using the new testing feature on 7Sage. I am trying to make sure the tests I take in the future are untouched by drilling. But I'm confused whether material from beyond 36 is being used. I did some drilling earlier and it looks like there are some tests after 36 that have been used. Thanks for your help in advance.

Hello! New here and aiming for the June 2024 test. I am following the curriculum based on that date and so far it has only asked me to take one practice test. Is the idea to take the rest after I am done with the material?

Hi all,

I'm struggling a little with understanding how some of the conditional indicators (if, when, etc.) imply the exclusion of other conditions.

For example, the below makes sense to me:

If you are in New York, then you are in the United States.

Maybe because the content is familiar? Of course not being in the United States means you're not in New York, so /USA -> /NY

But, in the following example question:

A teacher earns respect if she fosters a love of learning.

Must we assume that if means if and only if, in this case meaning the only way she can earn respect is by fostering a love of learning? Couldn't she be a Nobel Prize winner that does not foster a love of learning, but is still respected?

If I am getting -10 consistently on reading comp and i am taking jan lsat, should I just cut out an entire passage, and try to do my best on 3 passages?

Hey, I'm a second time LSAT test taker. I just started studying again this week (Tuesday) and have been consistently studying for 2-3 hours a day up until this point. I am trying to build up my endurance so I can eventually study for long hours and I have been taking it slow to avoid burnout. I looked at my study schedule and I am about 19 hours behind on my schedule for Monday (which already has me starting an entirely new plan for the week). It is currently 8:00 PM where I live and I don't think I can crank out 19 hours of studying until Monday without major burnout. I really don't want to fall behind on my study schedule, but I also need to be able to sleep and function.

What should I do?

Edit: For context, I plan on re-taking in April but I'm flexible and could take it in June.

We want to improve our notes features and we need your input!

What format do you take your study notes in? Handwritten, Word doc, spreadsheet, etc?

Roughly how many notes do you have altogether, in any format? Approximately how many do you add each week (or month, or whatever)?

What do you takes on? E.g., lessons, live classes, PrepTests, drills, questions, explanations, or anything else? If you take notes on more than one kind of thing, roughly what percent of your notes fall into each category?

Please respond in the comments. Thank you for your help!

I was originally scheduled to take the January lsat next week with hopes to go to law school this 2024 cycle. I have now changed my lsat date to June 2024 with intentions to going to law school in the 2025 cycle. My goal is to get in the 160-165 range. I am locked in these next 6 months.
