Hey guys, kinda in a dilemma. I took the August LSAT with only going through about 35hrs of 7Sage lessons. I'm fully prepared to cancel that score and I already signed up for the October LSAT, which I should be done with all the 7Sage lessons before taking that one. I’m not sure if I should take it a 3rd time in November, I’m afraid I won't score in the range I desire for my applications with the October test. The deadline to sign up is Septemeber 29, before the October test so that's why I’m stressed. Is this a bad idea? Or is trying for a higher score with more practice in Novemeber the right choice? #Help

I've taken the june 2021 flex, and august 2021 test. I'm also signed up for oct 2021. I just want to confirm that, if i chose to, I would be able to sign up for the nov 2021 test too? Since my june 2021 test is not counted in this current cycle, at least based on my understanding of the below (from lsac's website)

"Starting with the September 2019 test administration, test takers will be permitted to take the LSAT:

Three times in a single testing year (the next testing cycle begins with the August 2021 test and goes through the June 2022 test)."

I have been studying for 3 months now and have been struggling significantly. Yesterday I was Diagnosed with ADHD and was prescribed Adderall which I am a bit hesitant to take. I am wondering if any one here has bee diagnosed with ADHD and either takes their medication or doesn't, and how it affects them when it comes to studying.

Also, are you going to ask for timing accommodations on the LSAT? Do you know if this affects our chances of getting accepted at a school or even a job in the future? How will this look on our record if we use accommodations?

I plateaued at 169 and 170 for a while, but I had a major milestone on my most recent fresh PT 76, which was my highest at 173. I’m looking for one or two others who would like to be tutored for free or is in a similar place as I am. I’m particularly interested in going over LR questions together on a regular basis at a scheduled time. We would go over how to translate the stimulus in the most understandable way possible, anticipate, and defend and prove wrong and right answers concretely. Max 2 hours and 5-6 questions per meetup. Please message me if interested. I’m in Pacific Standard Time.

I'm still trying to wrap my head around this question. I originally chose (C) thinking that it would close the gap between premises and conclusion, but realize now that it doesn't address the issue of cost. Can someone please provide a number example and corresponding explanation for (D)? Thanks!!

Is this for me?

Hey yall I just felt like venting on here for a minute, hoping someone might relate to this. I've been studying everyday for the last month for about 5-8 hours a day and honestly feel more like an idiot then when I started. This entire process of studying for this test has just been an endless pit of depression and anxiety. Which brings me to ask this question is this for me? I of course want to be a lawyer and I wouldn't be putting in this effort if ,I didn't really want it but at some point I may have to be realistic with myself. I got a diagnostic score of 141 last month and felt pretty defeated however I gave myself a break and really put all my time in money into trying to increase my score. I've gotten better at understanding question types and really getting a grasp on thinking this way but not enough or as quickly as I need to do well. Also due to family pressure I'm forced to take the October exam so I have a month left to understand this material which I think we all know is not feasible. So I'm most likely going to bad on that and that comes with its own set of issues but I think you all get the gist. Who knows if I'm at your local McDonald's taking your order be kind and put the rest of your change in the tip jar I'm going to need it.

Hi everyone,

I’m hoping to establish a small group (6 or so) who is interested in studying 4 times a week for about an hour. We will be rotating sections and reviewing questions together to improve our understanding, make the LSAT studying process more social and, dare I say, have a good time. I’m hoping to get a range of people from 150s-170s. If you’re interested please comment below!

For the last one year, I constantly get anywhere from -6 to -13 on a single LR section. I typically score in the low-mid 150s, with my logic games score being the section that gives me that score boost (I initially scored a 143 diagnostic). I do have crazy nerves which I am trying to mitigate by practicing mindfulness (any tips welcome), but at first I thought my issue was also with translation. So I started doing translation drills as discussed in the Loophole and I definitely feel as though my memory with the stimulus is improving. So then, I moved on to seeing the assumption/gap in between the P-->C and calling that out in various questions before I went to the answer choices so I could be better at anticipating the answer. For the life of me, I keep getting sucked into the wrong ACs and sometimes find myself being too strict on my expectations of a wording or being too careless in what I accept as a correct answer.

I feel like it is hard for me to develop a Loophole and I know I need to keep on practicing, but man, this is getting frustrating. Attitude is everything and I know I shouldn't give up. If anyone has any tips on how they approach seeing "the gap" in between the P and C and not getting sucked into the ACs (while being able to finish a section on time....sigh...), please let me know. My goal is to get -3 in LR and I want to believe it is possible for me!

I also am considering tutoring, but sis is broke and I really wanna make sure that's the right decision before I drop that much $$$. Someone pls be my friend and help me in the lonely life

Thx !!! :)

Hey guys !

I hope all is going well for you :)

I struggled with practice test 67 game 2 with the " if but only if " statement I did not know that you NEEDED to create two game boards with the last rule. I was lucky enough to only get 1 wrong in the set but I need to practice more. If anyone knows any games that have the " if but only if" rule please let me know I am willing to practice all of them.

HI guys,

Do you guys think it would be beneficial to first learn the section and then do practice questions before moving on to the next section. Like should I get the methods down first then practice and do exams or should i get the method down apply it additionally and move on?

Let me know.

"Risk of difficult birth higher for women over 40. Those with difficult birth have higher possibility of being ambidextrous..."

This stimulus just doesn't make sense to me. Consequently, I went into the AC's lost. Is anyone able to make sense of what they're trying to say and the logical flaw made?

Admin Note: Edited title. Please use the format: "PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of the question"

Silly LOR question.

If I have an LOR from work does that job have to be on my resume when I apply to schools?

The LOR is impressive. But the job is not as impressive as my other work experience.

Hello everyone,

I recently took the Nov 2021 LSAT and had a severe panic attack in the very first. It was so bad I asked the test proctor if I could forgo the whole test, she told me to take a moment and resume when I was ready. So I basically sat there for 30 minutes trying to compose myself. After that everything is just foggy. I was able to get through the test but ended up scoring 10-15 points below my PT's. I have never seen any type of mental health doctor, but I'm seriously considering it after that episode. If anyone has any advice one who should I see or what steps i should take feel free to reply or message me.Thank you guys!

Did anyone else notice that their mouse and or browser was somewhat laggy during the test? this made it really annoying to highlight things and even press on which answer I was choosing.

I doubt that its due to my computer or internet connection because I am well above average in both of those respects.

Anyone have any ideas? I'm assuming its just a byproduct of being proctored but figured I'd ask.

As many of you have probably noticed, the previous admissions cycle was bolstered by many more applicants, the most since -- I believe -- 2011. As a result, scorers in the 170+ range increased dramatically. Surely, this is going to result in deferred candidates taking spots at the top schools of already limited applicant pools. In addition, while ABA 509s from 2020 are available, we are missing data for the most recent cycle. After perusing through the social medias of top schools, I have found that Harvard's incoming class boasts a new median LSAT of 174 and GPA 3.92. Georgetown similarly shot up from a 168 LSAT to 171! With LSAT registrants for this year matching or increasing from the previous year, I am worried we may see another -- even worse -- cycle for the T14 schools.

Does anyone have any educated opinions regarding LSAT registrant data or potential competitiveness at top-tier institutions? If so, what are some potential ways that people can overcome and stand out amongst everyone else?
