Do I have to finish the whole curriculum before taking prep test? I Dont have the time to complete 100% of the curriculum and do lots of prep test before the exam.

Hi all,

Any fellow LSATers planning to take August 2022?

Looking for EST and evenings!

Hey all,

I am registered for the February LSAT but I just don't think I will be ready to take. I notice that today is the deadline to register for the March LSAT. But do I need to register today for it? Or can I just reschedule it after the deadline?

Hey! I'm studying for the March 12 exam for 2022 and was wondering if anyone wants to make a big groupchat or just hold each other accountable on studying, as well as study together! Just lmk if you're interested!

Hey everyone, as numerous discussion posts contain study group links that are either expired or just inactive due it being posted months ago, I am creating a new study group on Discord.

The Discord Server will serve as the basis to share tips for test-taking, along with asking members for help for specific questions you're stuck on.

Some law schools I am applying are also schools I applied for undergrad. I am considering reusing my undergrad personal statement for diversity statement. Does anyone know if law school admissions check undergrad apps or it's going to disadvantage me by doing so?

I recently received a full tuition scholarship at a school I plan on attending. While I feel incredibly fortunate, I have been concerned about living expenses while in school. For background, I am a non-traditional student, already working for 8 years and am now going back to school. My wife and I would move from dual income to solo income on a teacher's salary.

My question is: what are my options (other than loans) to help with living expenses and other law school fees/computer/books? I am having a hard time finding scholarships that are not for tuition - most are saying they send money directly to the school. I have also reached out to the school, but they are not willing to provide for those other expenses. I understand living frugal and making sure I have some money saved up to tide my wife and I over until I can hopefully get a part time job in 2L, but at this stage in my life, I really want to avoid taking out loans if possible. Any advice on where to look for this type of financial aid? Does it exist?

I can't use PTO at my new job til after March test so IDK if it's possible for me to do more than one full PT a week! Any advice on this particular situation? I am registered for March and April, considering breaking open the more recent tests as I near test day, thoughts?

Are there breakdowns for the prep test questions? If yes could someone tell me how to access them.

Hey guys, I have been studying the LSAT about a year now and I am still having difficulty with the exam. If anyone wants to get together to study, please feel free to leave me a message. I am only looking for serious people who wants to get together to study. Thank You.

Hi everyone,

LSAC recently announced the dates for the next 11 administrations of the LSAT through June 2023.

The remaining start dates for LSAT administrations during the current testing year have been updated as follows:

Friday, March 11, 2022

Friday, April 29, 2022

Friday, June 10, 2022

For the following testing cycle, planned start dates are:

Friday, August 12, 2022

Friday, September 9, 2022

Friday, October 14, 2022

Friday, November 11, 2022

Friday, January 13, 2023

Friday, February 10, 2023

Friday, April 14, 2023

Friday, June 9, 2023

The LSAC stated that in some cases, an additional testing day, or days, may be added and these dates are subject to change. Candidates will receive detailed information regarding test days and scheduling as their registered test date nears. The LSAC will be posting more detailed information in the days ahead about registration deadlines, score release dates, and other important milestones, but they wanted to provide this overview of the 2022-2023 testing cycle as soon as possible to help you plan.

Given the expressed preference of the substantial majority of test takers, the LSAC will continue to provide the LSAT in an online, live remote-proctored format. While a return to test administration at test centers has been explored, the ongoing public health emergency caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has made it difficult, if not impossible, to make any long-term plans to return to in-person testing at this time.

Can someone please explain why A is correct? Here was my initial breakdown/reasoning for why I thought E was the right point of issue:

Stim: There were some footprints found.

Dr. T: These are obviously hominid footprints because they have some human characteristics.

Dr. R: No Dr. T, these are not obviously hominid footprints because if you're right, then these hominids would've walked in a really weird way that's unlikely

ACs:

A: Originally got rid of A because it seemed like they both acknowledged the significance of the evidence, just that they interpreted the "squarish heel and a big toe etc" evidence differently in terms of what it meant

B: Neither of them really touch on this - seems like they both agree this set of footprints is at least somewhat distinguishable

C: Gait? Isn't mentioned by either

D: Dr. R isn't saying that this isn't enough evidence to support T's conclusion, she's saying that the evidence doesn't support the conclusion

E: R mentions how weird it would be if the hominids walked "in an unexpected cross-stepping manner, by placing the left foot to the right of the right foot," which I assumed was just walking upright. Hence why I chose E

I've been studying for well over a year and reading comp is the section I'm just not getting any better at, in fact I've gotten worse. After nearly acing my LG and LR (-2 combined),RC has single-handedly out of the 170s. I score anywhere from -5 to -8. At this point, I'm just not sure law school is for me if I can't simply read and do well answering questions. I've tried many different methods but no one strategy yields significantly more positive results than another. I'm really unsure of what to do but for the first time in my studying I'm close to calling it quits (for financial reasons I'm not willing to go into a certain amount of debt which requires a good LSAT for the target schools I'm looking at).

Any advice?

Can someone validate my reasoning for why A is right and E is wrong (I had originally picked E):

Stim:

The new device can just cancel out the noise that the vacuum makes, so because of this, this new device can operate more efficiently/use less electricity than the old-school silencers. Why?

A:

Historically, there's been a tradeoff between silencing noise and efficiency, so for the old-school silencers, having to design that requires using comparatively more energy.

E:

This only refers to silencers in general and how they make cleaners less efficient, so we don't actually know what the difference is between these new silencer devices vs the old-school silencers.

Hey everybody, I am looking for somebody to study with weekday mornings and/or on weekends. I work full time 9-5 so I study at least 3 times a week in the morning at 6am PST - 8:30am, and then on weekends in the morning as well. I have been studying for over a year on and off, and am stuck PT'ing in the mid to high 160s. I have been losing motivation lately so I figured studying with people would help. I mainly focus on RC and LR now, and I am hoping to take the LSAT in June if possible.

If anybody wants to study consistently or have a weekend session (I know weekday mornings can be tough) feel free to comment or DM me, would love to chat. Also if anybody is in a study group or knows a study group that would be a good fit for me then let me know as well. Thanks!

So I was practicing some LR and RC questions and came across a few words where I didn't know the definition. I did try to figure out what their meaning could be following context clues in the sentences, but still couldn't understand them.

An example of one of these words was "pedagogical". In the context of the sentence I couldn't figure how it related to the conclusion, which then threw off my whole understanding of the paragraph. I ended up just guessing an answer and moving on. I then looked up the definition later when doing the Blind Review and got the correct answer.

Does anyone have any tricks on what they do during a situation like this, or do you also just say "whatever" and move on to possibly come back later?

Hi! I'm having trouble distinguishing why option B was incorrect when option E was correct in problem PT7 S4 Q02. Would someone be able to explain it for me?

I need some guidance on how to drill LR, LG and RC. Basically I need to practice LR, LG and RC in between PTs and I’m trying to mirror the drill to PTs so I can practice individual sections and hone in on weaknesses. What’s the best way to do this?

After studying for almost 2 years I have come to the conclusion that it is nearly impossible to improve on RC and to do all 4 passages under timed conditions. What are some ways that helped you get to all 4 passages under timed conditions as well as get under double digits with regards to wrong answers? I usually get 10-12 wrong on RC sections and I want to at least get to -9.

Thanks.

What is an ideal timeline for 2023 applicants? I registered my first LSAT in April...

This is a necessary assumption question. The correct answer : "parts that satisfy our govt standards are not the same poor quality as cheap foreign parts." But the premise already states that the country has the toughest automotive tests in the world. I want to understand that this assumption is not contradicting the premise.

Where am I getting wrong?

Hello all!

I am looking to start a LSAT study/discord group where we can have set times to meet and discuss certain topics (conditional statements, LR questions types, etc), strategies, as well as review PTs.

I am PST and am hoping for something either evenings or Sundays. Time has yet TBD.

My hope is that I can gather enough people to sort of allow more groups to splinter off, just so there are times that can work for everyone--maybe a group Monday evenings from 6-8p; then a group Sunday 12-2p, or something of the sort.

A little about me: I work part-time and am working my way up through PTs. I'm around the early 20's currently. I have availability at strange times in the afternoon and usually during the evening, as well as on Sunday. I am aiming for 180. It'd be cool to get other like-minded people to gather.

Since the LSAT is all about critical reading skills and tenacity, I am only looking to work with serious minded learners who are committed to participating in an enriching study group. That being said, please PM to ask for the discord link. Commenting on this post will not suffice! Yes, lol, this is a real "did you read the syllabus" moment. But again, I will gladly send a discord link to those who PM me!

Thank you and good luck!

If someone has done this question about water vapor and oceans and got it correct: can you please explain to me? I am not understanding the correlation between precipitation and the concentration of oxygen in seawater. I chose A originally if someone can also tell my why thats wrong. Thank you guys!! Appreciate any help :)

HLS website and application says the following. I'm wondering if anyone has put it to test for HYS or HLS specifically. I don't see this at Yls website.

How many times may I re-apply to the J.D. program?

Applicants may apply for admission to Harvard Law School through the regular J.D. application no more than three times.

Anyone with first-hand experience with this? Is this a lifetime limit and other schools have similar limit?

Does it not matter whether their score or jobs changed after 3 applications?

This will be a very active and focused study group that strongly encourages accountability and comraderie **(Imessage or SnapChat only- sorry andriod users)**.

The requirement for this group is to study for a minimum of 3 times a week (or ideally more). The members of the group will be required to send photo proof each time they sit down to study. At the end of the week (Sunday), if someone has not sent at least 3 seperate photos proving that they have studied, then they will be eliminated from the group. No Exceptions.

The group will also be encouraged to plan and attend muted video chat study calls, talk about when they studied each day and how long, what they learned, and provide motivation and support to each other, and overall help each other through this grueling process.

Anyone who joins the group must be planning to take the Friday, Aug 12, 2022 test. As the test date gets closer, we will be doing practice test drills at least 2x a week or more using 7Sage. Again, members will be kicked out of the group if they are not participating in the practice test drills.

If a member of the group is sending photo study proof every week, but is not engaging in muted study video calls or proving to be active in the study chat, they will also be elimintated because this group's objective is to be ACTIVE/MOTIVATING/ and HELPFUL. Staying engaged by even sending a uplifting quick text will spark motivation in others.

Members will continue to be added to the chat, as i imagine many will be eliminated. If you are interested, please comment that you are interested
