I just hope that this study group can help each and every person in it and that we can use this group not only to learn and improve our studying, but also where we can reliably hold each other accountable as we get closer to the test date(s).
I have no clue how C is correct. Can anyone chime in?
Admin Note: Edited title. For LR questions, please use the format: "PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of the question."
Can someone explain to me why the right answer is the right answer and wher eyou found it in the passage?
Would anybody be able to put me in touch with someone who went to UCI Law? I am applying there and would like to ask them some questions about their experience.
Please, no discouraging comments. Honesty and insight though, much appreciated.
Great LOR's, first generation college and law student, 159 LSAT 71% score according to this cycle thus far, 3.66 GPA double major from University of Washington, trilingual, much involvement in leadership / intern opportunities during undergrad, just got placed on hold.
I understand what on hold means - that it is a status not a decision - and that there is ambiguity and patience involved no matter what.
But this really crushed my soul. Standardized tests aren't my greatest strength (not excuse, just context), but I really worked so hard and feel crushed. trying not to lose hope. I'm not one to give up but this was really the worst feeling.
Will take a tour and send a letter of continued interest, but when?
Is it worth taking the LSAT my last time in January to see if I can get above 159? I only have ten days to decide.
I respect and understand the competitive process but wow.
Any insight on UM law, placed on hold but then admitted stats, mental advice / application advise / LSAT guidance,, etc. I moved from the PNW to here for this school a few months ago, it's my dream. I don't want to relinquish that.
I renewd My yearly Lawhub subscription with the same account. However, I keep receiving the following notice:
"Sorry, your account must be linked to an active LSAC LSAT LawHub Advantage account to access licensed materials. Link your account to continue your access.
You successfully linked 7Sage to your LSAC account, however your LSAC account does not have an active LawHub Advantage subscription.

Hi! I'm conflicted right now because I took my LSAT in November and did not get the score I wanted. I am thinking about taking the January and/or Feb LSAT (depending on my practice test scores) but I feel like that is too late in the cycle to apply for Fall 24. Any advice, should I still apply? I already took a gap year and I feel so behind. :(
Hi everyone I was hoping to post this in order to make a study group specifically for the Phoenix Metro, Scottsdale, Paradise Valley, etc. area. We all have the same goals of getting into law school but sometimes accomplishing that is not easy alone. I've found myself immersed in months of studying with gradual gains but am hoping to push through with support from people focused on the same goals! I graduated this Spring 2023 from NAU with a BS in poli sci, I currently am working full time as a legal assistant at a PI firm and I am hoping to get people on board to study together over Zoom and etc. I hope to find I am not the only one struggling in phoenix az right now with this damn exam!
How do you go about annotating and jotting down the summaries without a physical copy.

Hello!
I left my job in March 2023 due to a toxic work environment, and because I realized the specific legal field I was working in was not a good fit for me. It is now November, and I am still unemployed. I'm not sure if writing an addendum to explain this would be in my favour or not. I worry that it may be frowned upon that 1) I left a position without having secured another one, and 2) that my reason for leaving is not convincing enough.
I have done a few other things in the meantime, and have been looking for jobs in the field that I am passionate about, but I'm not sure if having any job, even one that I am not particularly passionate about is better than having no full-time job.
Any help/advice would be very appreciated :)
Thank you!
Hi there!
I am in search of a study buddy, preferably in the SF Bay Area. My ultimate goal score is a 170 but I would be more than happy to settle for a 165. My average score is 157 with my highest score being a 160 and lowest being a 155. I would love to find someone who has been scoring similarly so that we can hold each other accountable to study and discuss missed questions to reinforce the logic.
A bit about me, I work as a paralegal in immigration law. I plan on pursuing a Masters in Human Rights and Democratization in Europe before starting law school but I want to take the LSAT now since LG is my best section. My dream school is UT Austin and I have already decided to apply ED.
Please let me know if you would be interested in studying together. :)
I'm curious if anyone has been in a similar situation and can give me some color on how they went about successfully receiving accommodations.
I was diagnosed with a learning disability in elementary school and received testing accommodations (Time and a half) until I graduated High School. I did not elect to receive accommodations on standardized tests (SAT/AP/ACT). I did not elect to receive accommodations in college either. All I have is proof of my initial diagnosis (from elementary school) and an IEP (Individual Education Program) that states I am to be given accommodations for testing. There is no proof that these accommodations were continued throughout high school because all that was necessary for me to receive the accommodations was a written letter from my parents every year requesting that I still receive said accommodations.
I'm confident that I can have my General Practitioner fill out the necessary form and even write a letter that I should receive accommodations but I am not sure that along with my documentation from elementary school will be enough. Do I need a psychologist to do so? Will my Dr be enough? Will my lack of accommodations past high school disqualify me?
I called LSAC and they were rather unhelpful. All they told me to do was submit the proper documents and when I asked if what I have will be enough they told me to reference the website.
Anyone have any recommendations/advice on how I can sure up my chances of receiving accommodations? Kinda freaking out here.
When we take a 4-part test on 7SAGE and it calculates our score, does the platform automatically take the lower of the 2 LR scores, does it flip 50/50 between them, or does it already have one already programmed as the experimental?
Finding that my score falls a lot when I do poorly on one LR section but great on the other, which makes me think its automatically taking the lesser of the two LR sections.
Would love to have this clarified. Thanks!
Feel like many people are also in the same boat- I have also heard that this cycle's admissions has been extremely slow so I am wondering if applying later would hurt my chances. I think I landed mid 160s for November LSAT but I truly think I could get a 170 if I write in Jan. Thoughts?
I live in New York
How have you guys improved your logical reasoning sections what has worked I can't seem to get above a 150 but I want to get a 165 in the august lsat
In a 4 question LG drill I’m -2 easy. Throw an in out game and I’m useless.
Can someone point to the exact LR lessons I need to complete the in out games? Eventually I need to complete all of LR but I just want to knock out LG fully and just drill daily to keep the skills.
PrepTest 7 - Section 1 - Question 19
All the answers seem could be true IDK HOW THE ANSWER IS THE ANSWER??????
Admin Note: Edited title. For LR questions, please use the format: "PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of the question."
Can someone please provide a link that facilitates access to the January 2024 Crystal Ball Predictions? Unfortunately, I missed the date.
Do you think it's best to meet with admission before or after submitting your application?
As a splitter, I am curious to see if it makes sense to bring that up before or send my app and schedule my meeting for the day after.
Hello everyone!
When I started with 7Sage I recall making a LSAC account and perhaps paying some additional money through 7Sage to LSAC get access to official test questions and such. However when I now attempt to log in to my LSAC account to link it to my 7Sage account, it tell me that there is no account associated with my email address.
Anyone have a solution or any insight?
Thanks!
Could anyone explain how does one reach answer C in regards to the final sentence, "none except the most virtuous deserves praise" ? Would really appreciate if one had the answers to this.
Admin note: edited title; please use the format of "PT#.S#.Q# - [first set of words]"
OOF. I decided since I have no clue if my score is going to be worthwhile, I am fully committing myself to the January LSAT. I have been fortunate to not have a job and am starting a position (finally the degree is paying off after 5 months of searching).
Not sure if anybody else is in the same boat, but that score release date being a day before January stresses me out. Also on a totally selfish note... February is my birthday month.... so I want to be done LOL.
At least my writing is officially accepted and over with. Shout out to my professor in college for giving exams sooooooo similar to the format that I just needed a refresh & overview rather than intensive study sessions.
