Just canceled my November LSAT. So relieved I don't need to take next week's LSAT since I haven't quite practiced after the October test. Should I write an addendum to explain this score increase? The core reason is just that I was in poor health condition last time when I took the test in August.

I had a monthly + live subscription that ends November 20,2022. However, I just downgraded to the monthly today but for some reason I can no longer access the live classes. I assumed that I had at least till November 20 to access these classes since I paid for a full month. Can you help me access the live classes till November 20, when the new monthly subscription is supposed to kick in. Thank you

Hi, I am finishing my law school list for application but worrying rather I am making my lists too unrealistically. Thus I am here to get some comments about it.

My list is mostly made out of the schools within T40 (i.e-BU, Minnesota, Norte Dame, GW, Iowa, W&M, Washington and Lee, BC, Fordham, UC Davis, UC Irvine). I am also planning to apply one school from low T-14 (maybe UCLA or Berkeley?) or Boston University (more likely) as my early decision. Here are my Stats:

  • Korean, no green card, went American elementary, middle, high schools + college
  • 3.897 GPA, majored graphic design and minored culture and politics from an art college in the United States (not sure abt general tier…but one of the highest among art schools)
  • 165 LSAT (took 3 times, 158, 165, cancelled)
  • Almost Kjd? (graduated last year)
  • Low Soft I think? (I am volunteering as a graphic designer in several different non-profit institutions and have one internship experience, but I am not sure these count)
  • 3 recommendation letters to submit, all from college professors.
  • Looking forward to submit Diversity statement as a TCK
  • Am I making the goal too high? Any suggestions about my list? I am welcoming any of your comments and recommendations!

    When would LSAC get rid of LG? Sometime in 2023?

    Super nervous when that will happen.. If they get rid of LG it will significantly lower my score since helped me score better than other sections.. Did any of you guys hear about when exactly in 2023 it will happen?

    I'm taking test in November (2nd test) but looking into 2023 test dates as well but I want to take it before the format changes. :(

    Would the change become effective after August 2023?

    Any thoughts will be appreciated!

    Hi! I am taking the Nov LSAT next Friday and have a quick question about the Writing Sample. Although it opens in advance (this week), it's my understanding that I could take it after I take the MC exam (and they won't release my score until I've submitted). I've not started reviewing anything for the Writing part and my thinking is I'd rather do that right after the exam (within a couple of days) to give myself maximized time for final studying etc. Is there any issue with doing that? Thanks so much, so appreciated!

    Hello!

    To all those who wrote the LSAT live on Proctor U,

    did you download the Proctor U extension?

    Context: I have the latest MacBook but when I do an equipment test on Proctor U, it shows some failures (for wifi speed and screen) and suggests to download the extension. I keep hearing its spyware and kills your computer settings...

    Warm ups

    Out of curiosity, do you guys warm up before a PT?

    If so, what do you guys do for each section and how do you make your selection of questions?

    For example, for LR do you choose random easy questions or are the questions selected for personal reasons (like the question reminds you of certain fundamentals or concepts)

    Today I got an email (and I'm sure most people have as well), about the practice LSAT field study for the new alternatives to the logic games section that will be administered in December. I know LSAC announced that they are looking to announce the changes to LG sometime in 2023, but I was wondering if anyone knew specifically when these changes would be implemented? I'm shooting to take my LSAT sometime early in 2023 and I'm going to be really bummed if I'm studying LG for no reason right now.

    Hi everyone,

    The LSAC has provided the following information about their upcoming LSAC Analytical Reasoning Field Study scheduled to take place December 16 and 17.

    As part of the LSAC's ongoing efforts to improve the LSAT, they are researching alternative, equally valid ways to assess analytical reasoning (AR) skills (also known as Logic Games).This is a long-term research effort that they’ve been working on for several years and will continue for some time.

    As part of this effort, the LSAC included a special research section in the June 2022 LSAT administration for some test takers. Building on that research, they will administer a three-section AR field study to several thousand volunteers.

    Participation is open to anyone 18 years or older in the United States or Canada who has an LSAC.org account. This will include future and past test takers, as well as people who are considering taking the LSAT. The same terms and conditions apply as a regular LSAT administration.

    The field study will be administered in the same live, remotely proctored format as a standard LSAT, using ProctorU and LawHub. The field study will consist of three sections: one section of traditional AR questions and two sections of questions that use alternative approaches to assess AR skills.

    As an incentive for your participation, test takers will receive feedback on their performance on the traditional AR questions. Every study participant will receive a copy of the traditional AR section, the correct answers, and the answers they provided for each question. Upon completion of the LSAC AR Field Study, only the traditional AR section will be disclosed.

    The data gathered in this study will enable the LSAC to continue its rigorous testing and analysis to ensure that potential new question types have the same reliability and predictive validity as current AR questions so that schools remain confident of the LSAT’s predictive value.

    It is important to reiterate that there are no plans to change any part of the LSAT’s content in the near future. If and when the LSAC decides to incorporate any new question types into the actual LSAT, they will provide lengthy advance notice, practice questions, and explanatory materials prior to LSAC using any new question type in a scored section of the LSAT.

    You can sign up for the LSAC Analytical Reasoning Field Study here.

    Anyone else super nervous? I feel like I probably scored right at the borderline of the score margin I want and I’m losing my mind. Either went really well or will have to cram for the November test, all I can think about right now.

    I've a little bit of an odd question and hope the 7Sage community has some informed opinions on that. I've spent years in legal academia and compiled a list of roughly 20 publications in journals, law reviews, and textbooks. This comes in addition to a number of talks I gave at various law schools and memberships in professional organizations. I'm applying to law school because I want to change sides: from academia to practice.

    Do you think I should include a comprehensive list of publications, talks, and professional memberships as an addendum? I somehow feel like it's relevant and it definitely wouldn't fit below my resume.

    Thanks for your advice!

    Hi everyone! I am going to be taking the Nov 2022 LSAT and I really want to drill down on fool proofing LG. I was wondering how to go about this. Should I go back to each PT and do all 4 games timed? then BR? then if I get even -1, do that certain game 10 times? I am not sure how to go about this. Does anyone have step by step instructions on how to fool proof?

    Thank you :)

    I am taking the November 2022 LSAT. I took the LSAT twice already. I scored a 152 the first time, I went to retake a few months later and scored a 150. I was devastated and I didn’t know what to do. I gave up my law school dreams for a few years and decided to pick it up in January. After months of grinding back at the start of core curriculum again, I broke 160 in august, and hovered at 158-161 for a few months, after PT91 today I broke 165! Improving is possible, stay on your grind.
