Hi all, in this passage, is the conclusion the first sentence?

Hello all, I took the August 2021 lsat last week. I checked the lsac website after taking the test and I saw a special note on my account saying “temporary hold”.

I contacted lsac and they said they are just making sure that there was no technical issues. I had no technical issues through out the test. Plus I completed the writing section.

Does anyone have/is experienced this or know what’s going on ?

Can someone #help identify the conclusion??

I keep seeing different information about this, so I wanted to ask here. If you've already completed a writing sample for a different test date, do you need to do another one if you retake the test?

Just took my first LSAT last week after a few hard months of studying for it. Upon finishing the test I decided to give myself the week off. Well that week has passed and today marks my first day back. I have done exactly two problems sets and already feel like I deserve the rest of the day off haha. Anyone else doing something similar? How is everyone staying sharp in preparation for their scores?

Prep tests, problem sets, or the LSAT explanation page aren't working for me when I click on them. When I click on a prep test or a problem set, nothing opens or expands and I can't access any prep test or problem sets. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? I've restarted my computer, cleared my cache and used different browsers but the problem still exists for me. I'm on Mac.

anyone else in a similar situation? Due to covid, my undergraduate institution is currently only offering electronic copies of official documents.

Quick one - is Grammarly allowed during the writing section? Can't seem to find any prohibitions on LSACs site or any information on Google.

I originally planned to take my first test in june, but ended up postponing my exam to oct. Do I still get to use the first timer test taker only viewing/canceling the score at request- option?

I'm considering re-doing RC passages plus questions to increase pattern recognition and to review any questions that got past me.

Have you done this and found it helpful?

I don't get how this is the right answer. I'm aware the color red usually means stop and the color yellow usually means yield but why should I need to assume outside information like that to get this answer correct?

How am I supposed to know this from just the stimulus. Am I missing something?

Does anyone know if taking the LSAT is better than getting the GRE for admissions and scholarships? Or does it not matter? If you are trying to go for PhD/JD is it better to just take the GRE and apply or should you also take the LSAT?

Hi all! I am looking to find some people who want to be part of a small study group (about 6) for the November LSAT. I am thinking about meeting three times a week for now (Sundays - Logic Games, Tuesdays - Reading Comp, and Thursdays - Logical Reasoning) and drilling a different section of a practice test before each meeting. Seeing/hearing how other people break down difficult questions I got wrong is super beneficial to me (and maybe you!). Let me know if you can meet on these days sometime between 4pm to 8pm and want to join!

I think I'm stressing myself out too much about this tbh but need some opinions.

I started working at a law office mid june and its great experience but STRESSFUL. I'm planning on applying in late oct which would give me roughly 4 months with the office.... which is fine on a resume as a recent grad but.... would it be great on a recommendation? moreover would it look BAD to not have a recommendation? would it be something to write in the addendum... on I didn't ask because I'd only been there four months?

I'm also planning on getting a LOR from the head of my program and a research advisor - but I think im stressing out too much about having my boss write me one. I know I could get three strong letters of recommendations from professors/research advisors/various university people...

Let me know if you have an opinion please!!

Hello Everyone,

I understand that the new LSAT is only scoring three sections with the 4th section being experimental. My question is, lets say I receive two RC sections, would that mean that one RC section is experimental or could both RC sections be scored and either a LG or LR is experimental? Thank you!

I don't understand how E is the right answer over D. I eliminated the answer choice E because she claimed to be an insurance adjuster and didn't provide proof. How is claiming to be anything providing enough proof of being a government official? If the answer choice said the insurance adjuster provided some kind of proof I would have opted for it but ended up picking D because the government official provided proof, and I don't consider being evasive necessarily lying.

Hey yall! So my testing experience went so bad to the point that I cried when testing was done. I filed my complaint and luckily they offered me a retest next week. Anything I should be concerned about for next week's test?

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!!

Hi everyone,

I am planning to take the LSAT in October. My goal score is 165. I’ve been scoring consistently in the mid 150s and sometimes will score a 158/159. I haven’t been able to crack 160.

Logic games is my worst section by far. Reading comprehension fluctuates. And LR is typically -4/-5. Any advice? It would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone have an individual that they would recommend for the purposes of aiding the application process? I honestly never thought about looking into such a service, but after hearing about an experience my friend had with one, it seems very, very worthwhile. Having some experienced eyes look through my application sounds quite ideal. Any recommendations or advice would be appreciated, thank you!

Is November LSAT too late for Fall 2022 admissions since scores are probably released in late November-December?

I would like to have 3-8 points score increase compared to my June Flex.

Should I take October, November, or both?

Context: I have already taken the LSAT three times with 2 tests taken back in 2018. Thank you for the help.

Hi everyone!

When can I start my applications? I don't want to actually send them out until next fall (I want to matriculate in fall of 2023), but I want them started ASAP. Do I have to wait until my cycle or what? How does all of that work?

Thank you!

I just took the LR sections on PT 65 today. For both sections, I seem to run out of time. The first section with 25 questions, I had 5 minutes left to answer the last 5 questions. I got 17/25 right for that section. The second section with 26 sections, I had 5 minutes left to answer the last 6 questions. I got 20/26 for that section.

I mostly get Qs 1-(17-20) right with 2-3 errors in those questions.

Then towards the end of the section Qs 17-26, I get half/most of them wrong.

For the first 10 Qs, for each sections, I had 22-23 minutes remaining.

I'm not sure where to focus my studying so that I can improve. Tips?

Like many if not most (all?) of you, I heard many times about how the LSAT isn't really useful in law school, just a rough predictor of 1L grades, you just have to do it to get in, etc.

That is a fucking lie.

I've lost count of how many times I've thought or written in my notes this week, "oh, just like the LSAT" particularly when it comes to translating dense material, and critically examining the reasoning behind decisions. Not only is it not irrelevant, I would say a great deal of it is directly applicable. Unless my school is some weird radical outlier (narrator: its not) expect to use the skills you're honing now. Hopefully that motivates you to put the time in and learn this stuff the right way. It'll not only help your score and therefore your admissions outcomes, but also your potential understanding of the material, and ability to examine and destroy hypotheticals and pick apart issues, therefore your test scores, therefore your grades, therefore your job outcomes...

Not that you can't rock law school without having learned this stuff previously, but damn its so much of the same skills. Maybe that we believe these skills don't translate over says more about the type of prep many people/companies push, or why the test seems so difficult to us.
