Is the latest LSAT following the modern/flex version or the traditional four part version?

Calling all international students or students currently studying abroad!

I am a student from the United States studying abroad in Morocco and I've been frustrated because most study groups meet at times which would be impossible for me to participate in. So, I thought I would try to form my own group. We would probably only be able to meet a few times since I'll be taking the October LSAT on the 18th, however I still think it could be really beneficial. We could use Zoom and meet any time from 7-11pm GMT+1 time. Please let me know if you or anyone you know is interested!

Hello everyone. So for context, I’m not looking to go to a T14 so a 160 is pretty much what I need to get into my picks for law schools. Even a 161/162 would be amazing for me. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to crack this magic number. I usually score in the high 150s with few outliers but have never made it past 159 despite always scoring in the 160s upon BR and in the very high 160s nearing 170 as of more recently.

I’ll admit I don’t have LG down to -0. I’ll usually score around -5 or -8 due to timing but then get -0 on BR. LR and RC is where the gamble comes in. I’ll always either do like -6 or -7 on RC but then -10 on LR or I’ll go -6 on LR but -11 on RC. LG is about the same every single PT. The most frustrating part for me is my inconsistency on LR. Like I could do a drill on just weakening questions and do well but then on my most recent PT, 3 out of the 9 questions I got wrong were all weakening questions. It’s seriously frustrating knowing that had I gotten those 3 weakening questions correct my score would have gone from a 159 to a 162. 🥲

No matter what I do I can’t seem to crack that magical 160 (maybe not so magical for others lol). With only days left until my October LSAT, should I just fully focus on LG at this point to hopefully get it below -5?

I originally started out LR by just drilling here and there and not paying too much attention to it until recently. I have been reading books, watching the videos about logic, and drilling a lot but I seem to be getting nowhere. It almost feels as if I understood it more knowing less about it. All of the different question types and how to solve them are getting jumbled when I take timed sections now. It also seems as if I need an entirely different approach for every single different question type. I am in need of ANY help or pointers to guide me in the way of properly studying for LR. (For reference, my PT is usually -12 and BR is -8ish, but now that I am only doing LR, performance has dropped a bit). Thanks in advance

Unfortunately, I will be taking the October test at 3am. I'm currently studying throughout the day and then also throughout the night. I'm only going until 3am or 4am right now, but am planning on taking it later the closer I get to test date. But it's damn hard to be functional this late so I'm trying to see if anyone wants to form a group to do some studying together to help keep each other awake. Maybe we can do some sets and go over them together? I'm located in KST. Shoot me a DM or leave a comment if you're interested!

Hi everyone, I was approved for +50% time today and just wanted to ask about some strategies to best leverage this extra time.

I was already not horrible in terms of pacing, but I was missing questions bc I was misreading/ rushing questions etc.

My intital impression of the best way to leverage this extra time would be to literally blind review during the actual exam; finish the section in ~35 minutes and then go back and review the answers I’m not 100% confident with. This is also a godsend for diagraming during LG, though I haven’t started studying LG. Same with RC my impression is that I should use the time to read the passages more critically, etc.

If anyone has any additional general of section-specific advice, I’d greatly appreciate it!

I noticed there isn't a tag for "phenomenon hypothesis" type questions. Can someone clarify, are PH q's a subcategory of strengthen/weakening q's? Seems like they should have their own tag?

Hi everyone! I live in Vienna, Austria, and I would like to form an LSAT study group. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested!

Hi everyone, I am currently looking for a study buddy on zoom. I will be studying everyday till Oct 18 from 4.00 AM to 7.00 PM Beijing Time. If anyone’s interested please DM me and we can meet everyday same time and study silently together. I promise I will not distract my study buddy because I know how annoying it is to be distracted when studying. This two person group is only to held accountable and encourage each other.

Has anyone known/heard or became a practicing attorney through the completion of the Office Study / Apprenticeship program?

During drills I feel somewhat calm and collected but when im taking a PT and get to the games section, I start to panic and don't think as clearly and miss very obvious inferences and even setups that I know I can do. I believe its the nervousness making this happen and wondering anyone has tips or any help for this

is there any resource that is good for identifying premises and conclusions, Im new to my lsat journey and i keep getting tripped up with that

Would help to mimic real testing conditions

I average anywhere between -10 to -15 on RC which is by far my worst section. But I feel as if I understand the passage fairly well, even confident when finishing a timed section. Is this a misunderstanding in the questions and what they are asking? It is puzzling.

Hi there-- I'm ramping up my studying for the January 2022 test and I'm hoping to create a small group for consistent studying at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library. The library's open hours are below. I'm aiming for post-work evenings on the weekdays and all day on the weekends. Please PM me if you'd like to join and I'll include you on a Signal group to coordinate. Thanks! :)

Monday:10:00 a.m.-8:00 p.m.

Tuesday:10:00 a.m.-8:00 p.m.

Wednesday:10:00 a.m.-8:00 p.m.

Thursday:10:00 a.m.-8:00 p.m.

Friday:10:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m.

Saturday:10:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m

Sunday:1:00 p.m.-5:00 p.m.

Hi all, so I noticed that some PTs are labeled with letters (PTB, PTC, PTC2). Is there anything special about these practice tests, such as experimental sections, or questions that were tossed out on them? Just curious why these PTs were labeled with letters instead of being regularly numbered like the other PTs. Are they good tests to use to gauge my scores?

Hi everyone! After hitting 170-176 on a few PTs, I saw my scores drop back down to high-mid 160s. Last Saturday, I got 5 and 6 wrong on LR when I usually only get 1-3 wrong! A lot of the questions I missed were 1-2 star questions I usually never miss. I have a feeling I'm getting too much in my own head, and I was wondering if anyone has advice on how to deal with this. I am taking the October LSAT and I'm trying really hard not to freak out!

Hello everyone. Basically, I’m looking to see how to approach short RC passages as in passages that have around 5 or maybe 6 questions at most. In my experience, these passages are usually the first to come up in any given section, tend to be on the easier side, and seem like they can be completed in 6-7 minutes maybe 8 at most. However, as someone who struggles reading all 4 passages and often can’t finish the 4th, I need help with how to approach these passages with fewer questions.

Should I focus on completing these types of passages with less questions first in hopes of getting a likely 5-6 extra correct answers given the easier nature of these passages? Or should I skip it and move on to the passages that have more questions but are likely harder which can lead to more incorrect answers?

I hope this makes sense! My October LSAT is quickly approaching and I’m just looking for some last minute refinements to maybe score better on RC given that timing is my #1 enemy in RC. Thanks!

I'm in need of some advice. I initially took the LSAT in February 2020. I had no knowledge of the test and received some poor advice that I should take it blindly and see what I get. I scored a 142. I knew that I needed to retake it. I studied for some time, and in October 2021 I retook it. I cancelled the score because I didn't feel good about it. Then I took November 2021 and scored a 152. I was happy with the increase, but it was still not near my goal of 165+ so I decided to take another year to study. This time, I took the September 2022 test and only scored a 156. After what feels like forever studying for this test, I did not get as close to the score range I was PTing. I feel like I have screwed myself because of my previous takes. I know law schools frown upon taking the test over 3-4 times. I'm not sure what to do next.

To sum it up: (142 > Cancel > 152 > 156)

I have a good GPA, nothing that will compensate for a poor LSAT but it's still decent. I'm not interested in any T14 schools, most I have looked into are in the 25-50 range, which I know my score is still on the low end for. I cannot take another gap year to study. I plan on applying this month and November, so my options would be to apply to schools now to get my applications in, and take either January or February 2023, or totally roll the dice applying earlyish with a 156. I have ADHD, and I've struggled with this test both mentally and emotionally and I'm not sure if it would be worth it to take a 5th time. If you can offer me any sort of guidance I will be grateful! Thanks for taking the time to read this!

Hi,

Please might you be able to share detailed information concerning crystal ball predictions for the November 2022 sitting of the LSAT? Thanks in advance

Hello! I am looking for a motivated study partner in my area , please ping me

I'm working through some LR drills and going over my wrong answers, but can't seem to find video explanations for PT 3 Section 4, PT 15 Section 2, and PT A Section 4. Any ideas on where I can find them? I looked under the explanation videos tab and was able to find PT 3, but couldn't get videos for section 4 specifically. Same goes for the other PT videos I'm looking for :\

I noticed that some people use the wrong answer journal.

Do you find it useful?

I'd love to try it but do not know where to start.

It would be a huge help if you can share the document if there is any!

Hello!

My name is Kim and I'm looking for a study group/partner. I'm in my early stages of studying but was wondering if anyone would be interested in a study partner/group. I don't have much friends who are also pursuing law so I thought I'd reach out here! I'm aiming to take the February or March LSAT but am open to studying with anyone at any point in their journey. I'm mostly looking for someone to talk about our study progress with alongside actually studying with them. I like doing work at cafes or libraries around Toronto and am looking for someone to go and be productive with! I also think it's important to have people that I can regularly talk about the LSAT with (online and in-person) so I can hold myself more accountable. So... I guess what I'm trying to say is that if you're looking for an LSAT friend in Toronto, please reach out!
