I was wondering if law schools keep track of attendance at info sessions and/or use data mining to track demonstrated interest. Long story short, I registered for a virtual info session but had a last-minute emergency and couldn't attend - could this affect my chances when I apply? Not sure if I should send an email to admissions explaining my absence.

Hi everyone,

I will be going over the CC for the second time in a much more thorough way. I wanted to know y'all's thoughts on when to incorporate PTs and study groups.

Currently, my average is a 155 (best PT being a 157) so I am going back to reallllly learn the fundamentals again. Being that I have some fundamentals already down, I am not sure if I should be PTing while doing the CC again or if I should wait to PT (and have a study group BRing PTs) until after I finish the CC. I'd appreciate y'all's insight.

so I graduated in dec of 2017 and it has be tough for me because of the job market. I just feel as if i must be unhirable or something. My plan was to get a “real” job and then go to law school but that has not worked out. Ive been working at the same job involving children and a few volunteer opportunities but thats it. I really just want to create a strong application but i feel like i have nothing to offer what should i do? Ive applied to nearly 100 jobs im seriously dishearted there.

Nov. LSAT Signup Issues

Is anyone else having an issue signing up through ProctorU right now? I got the email from LSAC to sign up but when I tried scheduling a test time it shows "no active exams". When I tried to schedule an exam under "schedule a new session" it only offers my undergraduate institution as an option, not LSAC.

Anyone else experiencing this? ProctorU is a mess and I'm worried this won't be solved anytime soon. Anyone had any luck?

I took my first lsat last year august 2020 , though I wasn't ready since it gave me the option to preview my scores. Now I've taken my second exam in october 2021 and want to take one more in November for my goal score. I was advised that I take maximum of 3 lsats and was wondering if the first one also counts as a take?

Cancel score or not?

Hi,

I got a 153 on the Oct test and this is NOT reflective of my abilities. I was PT around the low to mid 160s, and the week before the resceduled tests, I was EXHAUSTED. I was getting questions wrong, that I would have not gotten wrong before. I just didn't feel as motivated or like myself. The day of my test, I felt the same way. During the test, I felt like I was not in it, whatsoever! After the test, I knew I didn't do well, my heart and mind were not in it.

Now, I dont know whether I should cancel my score or keep it. Do schools look down on a cancel score, or would it look better to have the lower score and then a higher score?

I am signed up for the November test and I know what I am capable of!!

The 7sage video says that the stim. says:

S -> (U or C)

thus, S -> (C -> U)

But this doesn't seem right?

Shouldn't the contrapositive instead be: (U and C) -> S ?

This question is in general very frustrating and confusing, but I need to understand how J.Y. came to the conclusions he came to.

My average pretest score is 166. Pretest scores have been fairly consistent (165-169).

I've taken the LSAT twice now. First score 157, today's score 156. Are other people seeing a practice test discrepancy like this? So frustrating. I deleted the 157, as it was my first attempt and significantly lower than my practice test scores. But today's score is lower.

Is anyone else seeing a discrepancy like this?

I am thinking of starting a small (in-person) study group!!

We will discuss further for details to how to run the study group but following is the general idea.

Time: Twice a week for 5 weeks

(Monday/Thursday or Tuesday/Friday) can be changed

Location: A study cafe in Seoul (the cost will be shared equally)

We will take "timed" practice tests 62-71 under simulated conditions (I find this to be the best practice)

Blind review will be done individually at home

Come back with additional questions and we will try to help ourselves by helping each other

Most importantly, I would like all of us to be a positive influence

providing good moral support as well as holding each other accountable throughout the treacherous LSAT journey

If anyone is interested, leave me a comment or message me

And I will organize the Kakao Group Chat :)

I have taken the LSAT twice, both times my score was almost 10 points under my practice tests. Very frustrating, very confusing. Practice tests average around 165, but actual test scores are 156 and 157. The articles I read said that students score comparably on the 3 and 4 section test formats. Maybe I was having test anxiety, maybe bad luck? 7sage recently introduced the flex score converter, and now I see that for me, there is a significant difference in my score based on the flex vs pre-covid test format. I'm feeling really frustrated. If the flex score converter had been available sooner, I would've studied differently the past 4 months. I'm trying to decide if I should cancel my 7sage subscription and just take my 157, or if I should focus on reading comprehension and logic games until January. Does anyone know if 7sage will apply monthly subscription fees towards the yearly subscription price? This is getting expensive, and I'm thinking it may be time to just cancel and accept the current score.

Hey guys, I am wondering if anyone can help me gain any information on my situation. I don't really have anyone who can give me advice.

I am trying to choose where to apply an ED, and I am between two schools. For school A, I am over their 75% LSAT by one point, but below their 25% GPA by .1 points. For school B, I am above their 25% GPA by .1 and above their 75% LSAT by 3 points.

I feel like I have a strong resume and a passionate PS/DS, but I don't know how much my lower GPA will affect me. School A is my top choice, but School B offers full tuition if you are admitted through ED.

Can anyone give me advice on the likelihood I could get into school A even being below the 25% GPA? I know its tough without seeing my resume, LORs, and statements. But hoping to get some insight because I am conflicted.

Thank you to anyone who can help!

148 - 166 in 1.5 months!

I started studying on September 1st and got a diagnostic score of 148. I have been studying consistently for almost two months with some breaks in between. Last week, I hit 166! I take the LSAT in January and wanted to ask if there is something more I should be doing to prepare for the test or should I just continue to take practice tests? My goal score was 160 so I am having a hard time feeling motivated to continue to study although I know I have to.

I’m taking the November 2021 LSAT which is coming up in about 2 1/2 weeks, yikes! I keep averaging a PT score of 151 but my goal is to get to a 160. When reviewing I go back through the whole test to pin point my weaknesses and review those topics again.

Does anyone have any helpful tips that may help me in improving up my score?
