Am I allowed to ask a professor for a letter of rec now and then apply to law schools in the next 2-3 years? Will LSAC still keep that rec? And will that rec still be fresh for Law School Admission Officers?

Hi! I hope everyone is doing well. For my first attempt at LSAT Writing, I didn't leave any time at the end to write the conclusion (I tried to copy-paste something I had already written multiple times, but it never worked). I did write my main point as the introduction of my essay, but I know it's important for essays to end with a one-sentence conclusion at the very least. I'm planning to take the LSAT again and am considering redoing the writing sample as well because of my nonexistent conclusion. :(

Did anyone else have an issue with the copy-paste function? Also, do you think it's worth it to redo the writing sample? Thanks in advance!

For this question, I had gotten it correct in the timed test, but ended up changing my answer in BR.

I wanted to discuss my reasoning for the BR, so that maybe it would help solidify why I chose B to begin with.

My reasoning was as follows:

I had initially chose B, but changed it during BR because I felt like the passage didn't explicitly tell us that the political stability would decrease. It did mention that believing that the constitution was being interpreted consistently with the intentions of its authors was "so necessary for political stability", but my reasoning during BR was that since it didn't explicitly state that politically stability would INCREASE, so I went with D.

From my understanding (please correct me if wrong) B is correct because ultimately we could ASSUME from the info given that political instability would increase from the info given.

However, I would now be extremely interested in why D would be wrong lol!

Anyways, just wanted to open up a discussion about this question :)

Hi! I'm still in the beginning stages of the core curriculum, and am wondering what to do with the drills (not the problem sets) in each section? Would you recommend saving those until the end of the core curriculum or drilling as you finish up each section?

Thanks!

I understand this might be a stupid question, but what is the best way to diagram on the LSAT? I've just started studying Logic Games and I'm diagramming on notebook paper. Since the LSAT is administered digitally and paper isn't allowed, what should I do? I guess writing everything on screen with a mouse doesn't seem that efficient to me.

Hello,

I have recently been given the "pause" accommodation where there will be a pause button on the test interface. I have been researching this accommodation, but LSAC does not mention much about how to use it or what it really allows. Has anyone used this accommodation and could give some tips?

All I have really found is that your testing session can not exceed 10 hours.

Thanks

My most recent lsat score from the October test was a 158. I am trying to get into a top 50 law school and am considering taking the April lsat to offset a waitlist that I received and to boost my odds for other schools. I'm not sure how much of a jump I'll be able to do in that time though as I work full time. Should I wait and take a later test in the summer or August to have more time to study to try to improve and then apply immediately at the beginning of next cycle? Or should I wait to hear back from all of the schools that I have applied to and go from there? I was waitlisted from my first choice. I might swap from a full time job with normal 830-5pm hours to one that is 5am-noon in order to make a better study schedule. Any advice would help!

Thank you.

I am struggling to figure out as to why A is the correct answer.

If you could help me to connect with student or alumnus (or you are a student or alum) for the following schools that would be great! I just have a few simple questions that should only take 15 minutes to ask. I have connections for many schools I am applying to, but I have absolutely no connections with a few.

Priority: USC, UC Davis, U San Diego, U Colorado, Texas, U Oregon, Pepperdine, Boston College.

Less priority but still urgently looking for student/alumnus: George Washington, WUSTL, NYU, U Michigan, UVA, Northwestern.

I am a super splitter- that's why I am applying to so many. Thanks for reading and TIA for any assistance!

For those of you who have RC as experimental section, wonder which RC is the experimental one?

"The college of law also offers you a $XX,XXX for all three years of your course of study here"

Does that mean $XX,XXX each year or does that mean that total amount divided over the three years?

Thanks in Advance

Hello! I was wondering if anyone had any good tips or resources regarding the writing portion of the LSAT (videos, sample essays, etc). I'm planning on doing it today or tomorrow night, but maybe I'm rushing it... any help would be appreciated!

When learning Basic Translation Groups 1 and 2, I noticed that an example pertaining to Group 1 was worded as so:

"Where the judges are independent there will be a good legal system."

I can't seem to find the correlation with the word 'where' in this sentence and how it fits into Group 1. Can someone maybe explain why it is similar to the word group that goes with Group 1, and how it can't be with the word group for Group 2: Only, Only If, Only When, Only Where, Always, Must.

Thanks!

why is D incorrect? In responding to the Rotelle, Sims shows that the same could be said about Rotelle's youth and inexperience when it comes to age, so isn't that thereby showing he is contradicting himself? How should one choose between D and E?

Is D correct because identical twins have the same genetic information? Is this just something we are supposed to know or is the answer warranted by the passage?

It's unclear to me why D assists in weakening the argument? Isn't the argument that efforts have not worked to have people recycle plastics? If so, how does it weaken the authors argument that recycling methods have improved for non-plastics? Very confused. TIA

Hi, so I would I am planning to take the lsat in April and just would like an accountability group chat , we can create a group chat where we can practice and vent and keep each other accountable for practicing and studying on a weekly schedule

Hello!!

I would like to score a 175+ on this test, and I have read numerous answers about how to approach the problem sets. If I want that high score of a score, should I do each and every problem set? I don't want to run out of fresh questions, but also, I know I won't remember all of them if I do. I am around week 2, so I would love to hear advice from others who are further in the curriculum.

Thank you for your help.

I'm currently signed up to take the February exam. I took the LSAT in October and got a 164, and I'm really hoping to get at least a 170 since this would be my third attempt, and I won't be able to take any more exams until the next cycle begins. I was studying on and off between November and December, and recently committed myself to studying full time since I graduated from college a semester early. However, I just took a practice exam and got a 164, the exact same score as my real test. On the other hand, if I were to continue studying as I am now until April, it would be taking up a lot of time I could spend on other things, like finding a job or working on applications. Is it possible to improve in such a short amount of time if I really commit to it, or would I be better off saving my last attempt for the testing cycle and buying myself a little more time?

I very recently got approved for accommodations in the form of 150% time--53 minutes/section. I have taken the test one time without extended time, and I have been studying for my upcoming test since November 2022 without that in mind either. I am seeking advice on how to adjust my studying. I don't want to "relax" too much and get slow, but I don't want to rush myself either. I was wondering, also, if any forums/blogs address this adjustment. Thanks!

I recall taking a single timed LR section as part of the syllabus at or near the end of the LR curriculum, however I deleted it and can't find it anymore.

I would like to retake it to assess where I'm at after taking a hiatus from studying, however I can't find it anywhere. Does anybody know where I could find this?

Thanks

Hey guys. I was wondering why I couldn't sign up for any exams after June 9th. Is it because they just haven't posted those yet? Or will there even be tests during then? I know there were last year. I graduate undergrad this year and hope to be able to apply for early decision by November 1st for law school so I can attend next year 2024, otherwise i'll have to wait until 2025. The cycle is so annoying. If there are going to be Sep/Oct tests this year my life would be so much easier. I already plan to take the June exam but would like a backup date if I dont like my score.

I couldn't access my original 7Sage account so I made a new one and purchased monthly + Prep Plus. However 7Sage + LSAC won't let me link the accounts, so I'm out $168. I can now access my original account, but my new account is useless and I lost that money. I can put a block on my credit card to prevent the purchase, but any idea how to resolve this? I want to be able to use 7Sage but I'm not dropping another $168 just for it to not work again.
