Hi everyone, I've been really overthinking this the past couple of months and decided to come on here for advice.

I took the January LSAT this year and got a 164. In community college I received a 3.9 GPA, transferred to UC Berkeley, and got a 4.0 GPA there. I really want to get into a T-14 (actually want to go back to Berkeley or get into Stanford/UCLA), I know my GPA is in pretty good standing but my LSAT score is on the lower side.

After taking the January LSAT, I registered for the June LSAT with the intention of getting above a 170.

That being said, I'm feeling really burned out after studying for a year while working a full-time job. I am still scoring in the mid 160s (but also BRing in the mid to high 170s). I've seen some suggestions on here to treat the LSAT as a full-time job and take a break from working, but my income right now is supporting two other ppl in my family so that's not an option for me at the moment :/ I think the burnout I feel is not just because of the LSAT but because of familial obligations, getting as much OT I can at work, etc.

Anyways! I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions for me? Here are my options as I see it:

Thanks everyone! I'll really appreciate anyone who takes the time to respond to this.

does anybody know if june 2022 flex will be the last flex test?

So I just learned you can use ctrl F on the LSAT reading comp. What are the best ways to utilize this to maximize speed during the test? any tips pertaining CTL+F are appreciated. Are there any other tools like CTRL+F that are permissible during the exam that may help?

ALSO: Has anyone had issues with a proctor who was not aware ctrl+F was permissible?

Thanks guys

What is the difference, can someone please enlighten me.

I’m having a really difficult time with LR. Is there an approach that works for you when taking the test under timed conditions? For instance, MBT means do this; MSS means look for this. Sort of a guide or plan of action for each type of question.

Hi everyone, I've been rolling around in this question for a very long time and still have some fundamental questions so would be great if someone can confirm my thinking/help answer those questions. Thanks in advance!

Stimulus breakdown:

P: The robots that are being designed are the ones that can be maintained with the least expensive, least skilled human labor possible

C: So robots won't eliminate demeaning work, they're just gonna basically substitute one "demeaning job" for another

In more human terms, the argument is saying that if there are 100 people assembling car parts in a factory (assuming that we call that a demeaning job), then the addition of robots will basically take those 100 jobs and turn it into 100 jobs of monitoring the robots (which they also assume is a demeaning job).

My question: It seems like this question makes us assume that "hazardous and demeaning work" is the same as "least expensive, least skilled human labor." Is this a flaw or is this something we could be allowed to assume?

Answer Choices:

A) Using 2-step test, this does happen in that he ignores that some jobs might be eliminated if the factories don't use robots. But this is not the flaw because even if he did consider that, it doesn't hit on the conclusion that robots are really just substituting and not reducing the net # of demeaning jobs

B) Not descriptively accurate, so fails step 1

C) Descriptively accurate - he doesn't specify what the engineers think but fails step 2 because that's not an issue. Even if he hits on the sentiments of the engineer, it doesn't weaken his argument that the robots are just subbing demeaning jobs and not even decreasing the net #

D) Not descriptively accurate - there's not any fear that's happening here

E) Descriptively accurate and if he did acknowledge that it's possible that 1 robot could replace the 100 shitty jobs in the care factory with just 1, then his conclusion that "robots will not eliminate demeaning work" no longer holds.

My question here is though, is it okay that a weakening answer basically completely destroys the argument? I know we can't attack the premise but not sure where that stands for the conclusion/broader argument.

So, I just got done with the June 2007 Prep Test, early in the course and received the lowest score I have ever gotten on any LSAT test. Anyone else have this happen? Kind of discouraging and am just trying to figure it out

Hey guys,

New to the forum here.

I’m looking to take LSAT Flex in one the US territory islands near Asia (as some test dates aren’t available in Asia)

One thing that i’m concerned about is internet connectivity..

Have any of you guys had problems with taking LSAT Flex due to poor or slow internet connection?

Should I just go for the US mainland?

Your responses will be insightful

So I picked C during BR after I had mapped it out using lawgic but turns out E is the answer. I dont really understand why E is answer. Help please :)

Admin Note: Edited title. Please use the format: "PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of the question"

Can someone help me out with this one? Apparently the correct answer is E, but I'm not particularly able to pin down the argument structure or understand what it is trying to say and why it is flawed in the respect indicated by the correct answer choice.

Thanks!!

I have been studying for the LSAT for a while now but have only taken 3 PTs so far. Is it normal for scores to fluctuate? I am planning to take the LSAT in August 2022, and I think I am going to start taking PTs three times/wk. My goal is to get a 165+!

Good morning everyone :)

For those who have gotten from the low 170s to the high 170s in a few months, I would love to hear your strategies. I have cleared my summer so I can give 110% focus to the LSAT during June, July, and August, with the goal of applying at the beginning of the admissions cycle in September.

A little about me: I got a 154 diagnostic score in the spring of 2021. I studied the basics from June 2021 to October 2021, but burnt out because of work/school and took a four-month break. At this point, I was testing in the 165-168 range.

In February 2022, I registered for the April 2022 LSAT to motivate myself to get started again. I am a senior in college with a double major, so I studied as rigorously as I could while balancing other academic responsibilities. A few weeks ago, I PT'd at a 173 (174 BR) after reading Ellen Cassidy's LR Loophole workbook from cover to cover. Realizing that I wanted to jump from a 173 to 178+ in a matter of days, I got super panicked. My following PT was a 168 because my anxiety was so high. I came to terms with the fact that I'm not ready to test yet, withdrew from April, and now plan to take August.

I deal with chronic illness and have high levels of anxiety, plus sensory processing issues. So, things like self-care rituals and testing/studying environment really matter to me. What should I do with these next few months of my time?

To other folks in this community with anxiety/health issues, how do you manage them? The pressure is on for August since I'm applying in September and I want to make it count.

Thank you for your support!!!

Hi there!

My name is Jaganath, and I've been studying off and on with 7sage for four years. I am a non-traditional student: I'm 34.

I have 71% of the core material finished (on the 3rd problem set for In/Out games), and I would like to habituate better study rituals and have someone(s) to discuss things with regularly. I have booked a free consultation with 7Sage for Tutoring on Saturday, and I foresee myself utilizing a tutor up until I sit for the exam.

My main goal is to create a support system of 7Sagers who are committed to following through with the exam and getting into Law School.

I am hoping for advice on choosing what degree to finish undergrad. I’m a non traditional student, I just took the April LSAT and I have a few options for completing undergrad in a year in order to apply next year. I’m in Texas and a Bachelors degree is required. Does anyone know if a Bachelor of Applied Arts and Science would be considered or if it would make me a ‘lesser’ candidate?

I've searched all over the forum and couldn't find anything on this topic. I'm prior military and I went to several institutions before and during my service to complete my undergrad degree. The LSAC has my GPA listed as "3.0 - 3.49". Why is that? What does that mean (other than I was a very mediocre student 😁)? It never really stood out to me because I thought perhaps everyone's was listed in a similar way, but having searched the forum, I can't find another example of anyone with an LSAC GPA listed as a range... I'm a bit confused because my actual degree GPA is within that range, so why not just use that GPA?

Can someone explain this sorcery?

(PT9 S4- #13)

J: worked 3 years and will vacation 4 weeks this year

Everyone who worked 1-4 years entitled to 3 week vacation

Apply half of unused vacation to next year.

So it makes sense to me that J had two weeks left over from last year so she got half of that this year

(A) J did not use two weeks in which she was entitled to

(C) J only used one week in which she was entitled to

What is the difference between the two and how can I distinguish them?

I selected choice A, but the right answer is B. Can someone go over the answers and clarify please?

Respectfully, my undergraduate GPA is nothing to flaunt. I had a life, issues etc. Going to law school was not on my mind at the time. Therefore, what are my best options for getting into law school? What do you recommend?

I submitted my paperwork for accommodations on April 7th (for the June test). This whole time it has been "under review" on LSAC and I looked today and there was nothing indicating that I had submitted paperwork. Ugh...I'm super frustrated. I emailed LSAC so I hope they get back to me soon. I never got an email indicating the I had submitted paperwork for accommodations. It just kept saying that they were under review so I assumed they received them. Has this happened to anyone before?
