I'm starting to feel like I'll never get into law school. I live in the DC area and have to stay here for work, and though I know the surrounding schools are very competitive, I'm just not sure what to do beyond just taking the LSAT over and over until I hopefully crack 170.

My current score is 165, my aggregate GPA was dragged down by my first year of college (leaving a cult and its associated university at the time), but it's still close enough to the median I'd need. I worked full-time for the rest of my degree program between a community college and UMGC (online).

Because most of my professors were online, I've never met any of them, and it doesn't really make sense to ask for a recommendation from someone I've never spoken to. As for my career, I've essentially worked in e-commerce for the past 10 years. That doesn't really translate well for most people. Finally, I have no diversity bonus points for an add-on essay.

Is there anything I can do to fix this? I'm on year 2 of waitlists without a single interview.

No, my personal essays are not dwelling on the items listed above. I don't mean to rant or complain, but I'm having a tough time. I'm not really sure what I'll do next if I'm never admitted.

Any tips would be greatly appreciated. I wish I had several thousand dollars to shell out to an admissions councilor, but I just don't right now. I wish everyone else the best of luck!

Hi everyone, I'm looking for an accountability partner to study for the LSAT with the goal of taking the test in August/September. If you're also preparing for the LSAT and want to stay motivated, share resources, and keep each other on track, let's connect! The goal would be to meet once or twice a week to discuss modules/drills we are seeking to complete next week while reviewing last week's progress.

I have an accommodation to not have the experimental on my test (much longer story). I’ve just been doing PTs and immediately turning in the experimental part so it marks it all as wrong. However, this means my analytics are very warped because I thinks I just keep missing a section. Is there a way to exclude these from the analysis?

Thanks!

Something I wish I had earlier during LSAT prep: someone to hold me accountable to what I said I’d do. Not a tutor, just someone who helped me follow through.

For example, I use a weekly accountability system for my work. Basically, it’s a weekly call with a coach where I decide what matters most, make a clear plan, and follow up each week. Just having someone expecting to hear from me has made a big difference. I feel like I can trust myself to do what I planned to.

I've tried a few study groups. Some were helpful, but it was hard to find people who would actually check in midweek, or show up consistently.

Have y'all had similar experiences with study groups? And does anybody here think they'd find that type of accountability valuable for studying?

I am dying on these NA, SA, PSA questions. I don't seem to know what the QS is wanting me to look for in the AC's. I get one right and 3 wrong. I do great on MC, MSS, PAI, and strengthen. I seem to struggle once I reach NA, SA, PSA, and weaken.

What is the QS really asking me to look for? Which of the 5 AC's MBT? or Which of the 5 makes the stem most true? I feel like there has to be an easy "NA for dummies" explanation that I am missing. JY's basketball example makes perfect sense- 'I can't be one of the greatest BB players alive if I don't know how to dribble'. That makes common sense. Then I get on a live class and there's a question about something I have never heard of with ridiculously convoluted language and that BB does nothing to help me identify the correct AC.

Can anyone put this in basic terminology that makes sense? I understand the difference between NA and SA- 'beating the NBA all star team single handedly vs do I know how to dribble' but I cannot seem to understand what the questions are wanting me to do. I also feel like I am struggling more on the topics that JY didn't provide videos for. Please tell me I am not the only one feeling this way.

Hey all! Quick question: I am writing the June LSAT and my argumentative writing section opens on May 27th. I am wondering if the section can be completed at any time of the day. So in other words, is it time specific in any way? I am thinking of doing it at night so that it's extra quiet at my house. TIA!

Hi guys, I am planning on taking the June and possible August LSAT. I am looking for a study buddy who's motivated and committed. I work from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, and I have been studying every day after work. I live in Dallas, so preferably CST would work. If you're interested, please comment!

Hello all. I am interested in connecting with other individuals who would like to have a casual study relationship. I am fairly new in this course. I do not have strong preferences on how/what to study nor a strict study schedule in place at the moment, but I would at least like to have someone I could message/talk with to brainstorm, check work, ask questions, etc.

Thanks!

Prep test wifi issue

I took PT 145 and halfway through the first section I dc from wifi and it submitted the first section. The next three sections had no issues and I completed them. I went back in blind review and set a timer and finished the first section. How do I get access to a new test so I can plug in my original answers then do a proper Blind review. I want to know my original and BR score but obviously that wont work now. Any advice would be helpful, thanks.

I’m currently preparing for the LSAT and was wondering if there’s an active Discord group or chat dedicated to LSAT studying. I’m looking to connect with others who are also studying, share resources, ask questions, and stay motivated throughout the prep process. If you know of any study-focused Discord servers or communities, I’d really appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction.

thank you! 😊

Hello everyone, I need advice please.

So I completed the logical reasoning section in the curriculum and I seem to have a firm understanding of each question type what it's asking me for etc.

Issue about when I do the section Untimed I seem to do very well only missing four (This was just on one section) probobly should do another untimed.

But when I just did a time section, I missed a lot more. So endurance definitely seems to be an issue because once I get to the end of the section, it feels like my brain is mush. Timing seems to be an issue.

So I just need solutions. I want to figure out if it's the foundational principles that I'm missing or if it's just timing if it's just timing, does anyone have suggestions on how to work on that?

Does anyone have a suggestion to Figure out if it's the actual concept, I'm missing or if it's the timing.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated .

Paper tests prep

I take the LSAT with paper and pencil, not online. I'm not new to the test but I am new to 7Sage. I would like to take prep tests as real as the actual test is, so would need to take it on paper. Is there a way to print the prep tests?

Conditional Logic

I've been studying for a while but I still really struggle with conditional logic. I've re-done all the core ciriculium, done the conditional logic drills, and found the Loophole to be helpful as well, but I'm looking for some other conditional logic practice drills. Let me know if you have any suggestions!
