    If someone updated to current application cycle in their CRS recently 1 week ago, then how long after can they expect CRS application fee-waivers from T14? How long does it take for CRS fee-waiver to trigger?

    I mistakenly didn't update CRS app cycle until last week, and plan to apply to a few schools in T14 that are known to give out fee-waiver from CRS. Should one hold out for waiver or at this late in the cycle CRS doesn't do it?

    Any thoughts? I applied in September, schools median, GPA above median. They started reviewing my application 11/04/21, official review time for the school is between 8 and 12 weeks. I am super concerned because I have a feeling that no response for that long means I am essentially being waitlisted. This is very disappointing considering median's match and GPA being above, plus a pretty impressive resume. Share your stories, thoughts, ideas...

    Hello, I wonder if anyone could help me to locate a LR question, which I guess I came across while I was doing core curriculum or PTs in 50s.

    The question is about a principle labeling a carrot as "nonfat":

    If we are to label an actually nonfat food like a carrot as "nonfat", it should be mistakenly believed to be a fatty food.

    Also, if people mistakenly believe a nonfat food as a fat food and if that nonfat food is labeled as nonfat food, it may be labeled as "nonfat".

    I wish I could give you more information about the question.. or is there any way to filter out prep questions using a keyword?

    PT 84 S4 Q6 has the answer choices mixed up and incorrectly marks the correct answer as wrong. The answers are presented as "A - 2 B- 3 C- 4 D- 5 E- 6" when you take it but the video shows it as "A- 3 B- 4 C-5 D- 6 E- 7". The video says 4 is the correct answer and thus B is correct but this is not what the test when taken shows and thus it marks the correct answer of 4 wrong when you chose C to indicate 4.

    Hey all,

    I am registered for the February LSAT but I just don't think I will be ready to take. I notice that today is the deadline to register for the March LSAT. But do I need to register today for it? Or can I just reschedule it after the deadline?

    Hey! I'm studying for the March 12 exam for 2022 and was wondering if anyone wants to make a big groupchat or just hold each other accountable on studying, as well as study together! Just lmk if you're interested!

    Hey everyone, as numerous discussion posts contain study group links that are either expired or just inactive due it being posted months ago, I am creating a new study group on Discord.

    The Discord Server will serve as the basis to share tips for test-taking, along with asking members for help for specific questions you're stuck on.

    I recently received a full tuition scholarship at a school I plan on attending. While I feel incredibly fortunate, I have been concerned about living expenses while in school. For background, I am a non-traditional student, already working for 8 years and am now going back to school. My wife and I would move from dual income to solo income on a teacher's salary.

    My question is: what are my options (other than loans) to help with living expenses and other law school fees/computer/books? I am having a hard time finding scholarships that are not for tuition - most are saying they send money directly to the school. I have also reached out to the school, but they are not willing to provide for those other expenses. I understand living frugal and making sure I have some money saved up to tide my wife and I over until I can hopefully get a part time job in 2L, but at this stage in my life, I really want to avoid taking out loans if possible. Any advice on where to look for this type of financial aid? Does it exist?

    Hi everyone,

    LSAC recently announced the dates for the next 11 administrations of the LSAT through June 2023.

    The remaining start dates for LSAT administrations during the current testing year have been updated as follows:

    Friday, March 11, 2022

    Friday, April 29, 2022

    Friday, June 10, 2022

    For the following testing cycle, planned start dates are:

    Friday, August 12, 2022

    Friday, September 9, 2022

    Friday, October 14, 2022

    Friday, November 11, 2022

    Friday, January 13, 2023

    Friday, February 10, 2023

    Friday, April 14, 2023

    Friday, June 9, 2023

    The LSAC stated that in some cases, an additional testing day, or days, may be added and these dates are subject to change. Candidates will receive detailed information regarding test days and scheduling as their registered test date nears. The LSAC will be posting more detailed information in the days ahead about registration deadlines, score release dates, and other important milestones, but they wanted to provide this overview of the 2022-2023 testing cycle as soon as possible to help you plan.

    Given the expressed preference of the substantial majority of test takers, the LSAC will continue to provide the LSAT in an online, live remote-proctored format. While a return to test administration at test centers has been explored, the ongoing public health emergency caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has made it difficult, if not impossible, to make any long-term plans to return to in-person testing at this time.

    Can someone please explain why A is correct? Here was my initial breakdown/reasoning for why I thought E was the right point of issue:

    Stim: There were some footprints found.

    Dr. T: These are obviously hominid footprints because they have some human characteristics.

    Dr. R: No Dr. T, these are not obviously hominid footprints because if you're right, then these hominids would've walked in a really weird way that's unlikely

    ACs:

    A: Originally got rid of A because it seemed like they both acknowledged the significance of the evidence, just that they interpreted the "squarish heel and a big toe etc" evidence differently in terms of what it meant

    B: Neither of them really touch on this - seems like they both agree this set of footprints is at least somewhat distinguishable

    C: Gait? Isn't mentioned by either

    D: Dr. R isn't saying that this isn't enough evidence to support T's conclusion, she's saying that the evidence doesn't support the conclusion

    E: R mentions how weird it would be if the hominids walked "in an unexpected cross-stepping manner, by placing the left foot to the right of the right foot," which I assumed was just walking upright. Hence why I chose E

    I've been studying for well over a year and reading comp is the section I'm just not getting any better at, in fact I've gotten worse. After nearly acing my LG and LR (-2 combined),RC has single-handedly out of the 170s. I score anywhere from -5 to -8. At this point, I'm just not sure law school is for me if I can't simply read and do well answering questions. I've tried many different methods but no one strategy yields significantly more positive results than another. I'm really unsure of what to do but for the first time in my studying I'm close to calling it quits (for financial reasons I'm not willing to go into a certain amount of debt which requires a good LSAT for the target schools I'm looking at).

    Any advice?

    Can someone validate my reasoning for why A is right and E is wrong (I had originally picked E):

    Stim:

    The new device can just cancel out the noise that the vacuum makes, so because of this, this new device can operate more efficiently/use less electricity than the old-school silencers. Why?

    A:

    Historically, there's been a tradeoff between silencing noise and efficiency, so for the old-school silencers, having to design that requires using comparatively more energy.

    E:

    This only refers to silencers in general and how they make cleaners less efficient, so we don't actually know what the difference is between these new silencer devices vs the old-school silencers.

    Hey everybody, I am looking for somebody to study with weekday mornings and/or on weekends. I work full time 9-5 so I study at least 3 times a week in the morning at 6am PST - 8:30am, and then on weekends in the morning as well. I have been studying for over a year on and off, and am stuck PT'ing in the mid to high 160s. I have been losing motivation lately so I figured studying with people would help. I mainly focus on RC and LR now, and I am hoping to take the LSAT in June if possible.

    If anybody wants to study consistently or have a weekend session (I know weekday mornings can be tough) feel free to comment or DM me, would love to chat. Also if anybody is in a study group or knows a study group that would be a good fit for me then let me know as well. Thanks!

    So I was practicing some LR and RC questions and came across a few words where I didn't know the definition. I did try to figure out what their meaning could be following context clues in the sentences, but still couldn't understand them.

    An example of one of these words was "pedagogical". In the context of the sentence I couldn't figure how it related to the conclusion, which then threw off my whole understanding of the paragraph. I ended up just guessing an answer and moving on. I then looked up the definition later when doing the Blind Review and got the correct answer.

    Does anyone have any tricks on what they do during a situation like this, or do you also just say "whatever" and move on to possibly come back later?
