Currently scoring 148-150

Looking for a study member who wants to join the study group!

This study group is for October testers.

Anyone interested, please message me!

hi! I am scheduled to take the test in August and October. I don't think I'm ready to take it in August, would I be able to cancel that test? I know I wouldn't get my money back, but I don't want to take it if I'm not ready. Or am I forced to take it in August?

Hello everyone!

I'm student born with an American passport, grew up outside of the United States, and attended an accredited University outside of North America which offered courses in English(had a faculty that taught courses in English which I was enrolled in). Will I count as an international student in my application for law school? Also, is it true that my GPA will have little bearing on my evaluation for admission? I hear GPA is weighted much less heavily for international students, and that a third party institution 'translates' scores before sending them to lsac. I'm not sure about this so I would appreciate if someone could confirm!

Any input would be greatly appreciated!

Hi everyone!

To get right into it, I'm not applying to law school until next fall, but I want to ask this question now so I might be able to start preparing the addendum as soon as possible. I'm not entirely sure when an addendum is necessary to write, or even okay to write.

Personally, I'd like to write one. I was home-schooled almost my whole life, I went to a pretty rigorous STEM school and majored in biochemistry - I got a 3.0 GPA. Halfway through it, I figured I didn't really want to keep going with STEM, but I had no idea what I would want my major to be instead. I did know that law school was the path for me at that point, but I couldn't convince myself to take an extra semester/year (because of money) to major in something else that I was unhappy with.

In the end, I found out that I love philosophy by taking a philosophy course in my last semester of undergrad. I got into the M.A. program at my school and did well there, and my GPA in my last semester was far better because I was enjoying my education a lot more. I believe that my last semester in undergrad and my M.A. are much better indicators for my academic potential in law school than my first couple of years in undergrad when I was still figuring myself out and learning how to study in the first place.

That said, I want to get some other opinions before I bank on my intuition. Any advice/answers would be greatly appreciated!

I am in a confusing position: I haven't taken the LSAT yet so I don't have a score. How do I know what personal statement to write if I have no clue what school I will apply to? Thanks in advance.

Is there a significant difference between applying in early September vs in October, regarding chances of admission?

Would it disadvantage me to ask for a LOR from a professor from a different university who taught a course at my university that I took with her? She came to my university, taught a class one spring, and I really enjoyed her class and got a lot out of it but she isn't technically a professor at my university, she is a professor at another university close by. Can anyway take a guess on how that would be viewed during admissions or if it doesn't really matter?

I'm graduating a year early (in 3 years) and am wondering if that is something that I should write an addendum about. My university classifies me as a "third year" but I have the credits to graduate early and I'm worried that the third year classification may be somewhere on the application and may confuse the readers? Idk. Any guidance would be great!

I am wondering how to format my double major. I majored in criminal justice and psychology and ideally want to list both individual major GPAs along with my overall GPA, but am not sure how to format it. Criminal justice (3.97), psych (4.00), overall (3.86).

The reason I wrote this up is because I wanted to know how many extra games I would need to foolproof before moving on. Hopefully somebody finds this helpful! Happy studying!

Hey guys, I'm a 2022 test taker just really cautious about the fact that there are a limited # of PTs + its mentally draining to go through just one PT.

I took a diagnostic about a week ago and scored a 155. However I took it in Khan Academy, and 7Sage is requiring me to take another PT (the June 2007 one) as indicated on its syllabus.

After my K.A diagnostic I've only studied new concepts in LR and just merely went over my answers in RC and LG. Should I take the suggested PT right now? If not, when should I take it?

I got a 155 on my diagnostic in Khan Academy and was going to start out with a PT at 7sage so I could study according to the analytics. The resources I have right now are Khan Academy and 7sage (Ultimate subscription + LSAC Prep Plus).

However I read a few past posts and everyone was saying to go through the curriculum first then start with the PTs, because the PTs are precious. I agree with them and also think it'd be a good idea to go through the comprehensive curriculum because basing off my studies on the errors I had in 1 PT sounds a bit myopic.

Would it be a good plan to go through the entire curriculum, make/do problem sets of parts I found difficult, foolproof certain parts then start with the PTs? For other tests I usually learn the most by full PTing but I understand that resources for the LSAT are limited.

Just curious how everyone else reached their dream scores using 7sage. Thank you.

I know there are a few posts regarding the same topic but I don't think there has been one after the June 2022 elongation announcement, so here it goes.

I just found the "simulate FLEX" function for PTs. I am thinking of applying to law school in 2023 hence I'm curious as to whether the 3-section FLEX format will continue onwards from June 2022, because I am unsure in what format I should be doing my PTs.

Does anyone know? Any help/advice/comments would be very appreciated.

Recently I've discovered using the highlighting tool on RC helps me pick up the smaller details and answer the questions much faster with better understanding. While it does take slightly longer in the set up (a tad over 4 minutes), I was actually having the issue of reading way too fast and understanding next to nothing in my timed runs, so I'd rather have it this way. Out of curiosity, does anyone else do this with success? Have you done it on the actual test (and are there multiple colors available like on 7Sage)? Thanks!

Hi Friends !

I'm taking the LSAT for the second time in a couple weeks. The first time around I scored a 162.

This time, my scoring has hit a consistent 167 in most of the PrepTests i've taken (mostly 70s or 60s). Recently I've been feeling a bit bored or unmotivated, maybe just fatigue. Today I scored a PrepTest...160... I'm sad to see such a drop off. In my review, I feel like I missed questions and don't even know why I chose the AC I did ! Where's my head !

Any tips? Should I just take a few days off or is this a sign of something worse ?? Do I consider not writing? :S I feel nervous about taking time off so close to my sitting.

I write in 2 weeks, hoping to not score anything lower than a 165/166.

Let me know what you think !! All thoughts are welcome, thank you (3(/p)

Is reading the stimulus and then reading the question stem a better tactic or the other way around??

Is any one here getting an "upload speed" issue ? It says that my upload speed is bellow minimum requirement. The issue appears randomly for a few minutes. Any idea what's going on ? I know we can't write the test if we don't meet the speed requirement.

I have been listening to the podcasts and some of them suggest recording the PTs and re-watching them later. How do people do this (if they do). Like logistically, how do you record yourself taking a practice PT in the most effective manner?

I'm really struggling to understand this question.

Hello,

I've been studying what I thought was hard for three months for the LSAT and I realized I need to try a tutor. I live on the East Coast of the U.S, and need help most of the help with LR and LG. Please dm if you are a tutor that could work with me online or even in person.

Best wishes and good luck to everyone

** thank you so much! Just found a great tutor :)

I began studying for the LSAT in late May in anticipation for the August test. I read through a short book on term logic, which turned out to be a very helpful primer for understanding logical rules and conditionals. After reading the book, I began the Core Curriculum in mid June and completed it in early to mid July. I then began practice tests. I have just a few practice tests under my belt, but I am not scoring higher than my diagnostic score, and I'm finding that I'm not consistently within time for sections.

I'm rather concerned on a few things: 1) Is it even worth taking the August test if I'm still no where near I want to be as of today in terms of my score? 2) The lack of significant improvement despite performing well during the Core Curriculum is bothersome. Would a tutor be a good option for this sort of situation?

Thanks.

I've been taking practice tests in the 60s/early 70s and only just started to take practice tests in the 80s and am seeing a nosedive in my LR score. Is it commonly known that LR is much less straightforward in the 80s? Also, do we have every reason to believe that the difficulty level for LR in the 80s is the most indicative of the real test, since PT 80+ are the most recent tests?

I'm starting to get better at the test overall, and to do see improvement. In fact I'm doing much better than when I started studying for the exam. I was wondering if you guys could post what helped you learn/understand LR and make sense, any tips or advice. I'd love to hear from you guys, so I can apply that for myself in this learning process.

Hi everyone,

I am struggling a bit with weakening questions and thus am completing problem sets. I noticed that the problem sets don't have video explanations, but rather discussions instead.

Does anyone know why this is? I actually do like listening to J.Y. and his videos are helpful.

Nonetheless, I'm a bit disappointed that there aren't videos are the prob sets.
