I'm taking the LSAT again in November, but was hoping to have some of the schools where I'm already above the median review my application right away so I'm more competitive for scholarships. Is this ok to ask or will schools see it as me not wanting to attend since the pending LSAT date will obviously be for me to try and get into a better school?

Weird question, but I am in the process of building a startup. I quit my full time job last month and admissions people will obviously notice that when they look at my resume. Should I include my new post as a CEO in the company, or should I leave it out. My concern is that if they see it, they will think I can't commit to law school, which is reasonable. I am on the fence. Any help is appreciated.
I was wondering if anyone had any advice on getting out of a plateau? Timed PT score is mid-high 150's, BR is usually low 160's. While I'm doing timed PT's, followed by BR and Full Review but I'm not seeing any numerical improvement (however, I do feel like I'm learning something from each test I take). The main sections I struggle with are LR and RC (esp with timing). Is this normal and how do I start seeing an actual improvement in my score? I'm trying to get in the high 160's (at least) for the October LSAT. Thanks all!!
Can someone please explain how we arrive at answer choice D from the stimulus?
If I understand correctly, not routinely unpunished (/RU) equates to sometimes unpunished.
We get /RU by negating the chain presented in the stimulus which is /CH->MG->/RU
From there the author shifts from "routinely" (/RU) to "never" (/U).
So why does the correct answer say confuses "routinely" with "sometimes"? Since the conclusion says never unpunished, I figured it would be confuses "never" with "routine" or "sometimes."
JY's video explanation offers no insight here, but I'll post the link anyways.

Hey everyone,
I've finally decided that I need a tutor. I've been really trying to save money so I can pay for living expenses during 1L but I really think I need some help so here I am.
Please let me know if you personally have a tutor suggestion or can point me in the right direction. I know there was a discussion page with various tutors and their hourly rates listed but I can't seem to find it.
Thanks!
Hey everyone!
In conditional-heavy games, when a question stem introduces a new temporary conditional, I have trouble linking this to the master chain, especially if it's already completed.
Anyone know any good video lessons or resources that could help me out with this?
Thanks!
I did the full length section of LR from PT 65 that is part of the core curriculum. (After you finish all the LR lessons). But the questions were given to me in reverse order from 26,25,24...3,2,1 not 1-26. So the hardest questions were skewed towards to the front of the test and not the latter part of the test like a normal LR section. Does anyone know if this is on purpose or what the reasoning is for that? #HELP
Sorry if this is a stupid question...
In PT I recently switched to using both a blue pilot gel pen and a mechanical pencil for diagrams. I find this works so much better than just pen or just pencil because it allows me to clearly mark the universal rules and main game board and then use the pencil to 'write over' the main board as i go, erasing with each question as needed.
This silly little change has got me down to -2/-4 territory on LG far more consistently, mainly because of the time savings and easy visual recognitions. However, it just now occurred to me i may not be allowed both a pen and a pencil in the test :( Any insights?
Taking the OCT exam and currently PTing around 170. The best score I have gotten in PT so far is 174 (BR178)
This will be my last LSAT and my previous was 167. Any last minute studying tips? I am currently at -1-3 per section.
Any advice/tips are welcomed. I am trying to find a schedule that will stick, so I'm not making up things as I go and I'm getting the most out of my study time. What works best for you guys? Thanks a lot!
Currently in the beginning stages of 7Sages CC, was wondering if I should incoprparate Loophole/use it in conjunction with 7sage, or use It after 7sage. Thoughts and feedback appreciated, as well as overall experience with Loophole in general.
How important is it to get very good at the miscellaneous games, the games that are traditionally the final game and a lot tougher? Is it worth time foolproofing them?
Hello everyone I just signed up for the November LSAT. The available test dates are 11/12 - 11/14 but I do not get the opportunity to choose the day or time of the test. I'm assuming that LSAC will assign me a day and time as it gets closer to November but I just wanted to make sure. I tried looking on the LSAC website to answer my question or to see if I was missing something but I was unsuccessful.
TLDR; How to pick a day and time for NOV 2021 LSAT
I want to take the LSAT by February/March of 2022. I just started studying and learning the basics... would love if there is someone out there to help me tutor and to help me prepare for this test!!!
If a job offer was indefinitely postponed due to COVID-19 last year, do you think that is worthwhile to include on a resume? I accepted a paralegal position in April 2020, they indefinitely postponed it in August 2020, and I obtained an AmeriCorps position in August 2020.
Problem fixed!
A couple of us are getting together to do a BR session of PT 37 on Saturday. We are planning to take the test and not look at the answers and do the BR together. If you are interested, dm me and I will send you the discord link because that is where we are having the session :)
I just wanna pay it forward a bit. I’m offering advice/help/consultation to anyone who wants it
Thoughts on it?

Hey y'all! I am a full time college student with a lot of extra curricular activities and I was wondering if anyone wanted to be accountability partners? I took the August exam and I am not satisfied with my score (especially since I was doing much better on the practice tests) so I am planning on taking the January one in 2022. I am aiming to score in the 150's-60's nothing too crazy. I am just now getting back into studying after over a month so i'm trying to get into the swing of things again. I wanna do like 10 hours a week until December. If you are interested please let me know!
Hi ya'll, I have been studying LSAT for about a year. I have taken the exam three times. I started off with 132, and brought score up to 143 on the second LSAT and got the same score on third one. I have used many different kinds of sites to study. Over summer, I brought score up to 151 on practice test. However, now it is down to around 145. My original goal was 160+, but it is less than in a couple of weeks till I take LSAT again ( I am not planning on retaking it again), and I do not see how I will be able to bring almost 10 points up in that short term.
Logical game is my strength, I get 0 to 5 questions wrong, so I am not focusing on logical game. I get around half questions right for logical reasoning ( I could get more than half right when I was scoring around 151 on practice exam, but now it is down to around or less than half). Reading Comprehension is terrible. I am trying to see if I can bring logical reasoning to the same level as logical game.
I have been just taking practice test and reviewing on the next day. If ya'll have any advice or studying tips or any kind of recommendations, please let me know!! I would much appreciate it!!
Hello, I'm struggling with understanding Hybrid games. I have a solid foundation on ordering and grouping but for some reason hybrid is tough. Are there any tutors that specialize in Hybrid games?
Currently debating whether or not starting 7sage now would help if I'm not planning on taking the exam until June 2023

Hi everyone! I have 2 questions.
1st. In logical reasoning, when the question stem asks for the main point, is that slightly different then it asking for the conclusion? I watched an explanation video for a main point, the question stem said “Which one of the following states the main point of the argument?” And JY said that the main point questions are looking for a summary of the conclusion. Rather, I notice when the question stem ask for us to state the conclusion it will be a more “word-for-word” explicit answer, leaning away from a summary type answer. Is this correct? Or does it depend on other factors?
2nd. Okay. Another question. Is not always the same as sometimes in logic?
Thank you so much.
I look forward to the #help!
