Hello all,

I am currently PTing around the 157 mark, a vast improvement from the 143 I started with. However, I plan on taking the October exam with a goal score of 163-165 which should comfortably put me in range of my goal school(s). On BR, I am able to hit that goal with relative ease and sometimes sneak into the high 160s. I am able to finish each section with time constraints, but often my worst section is RC (avg -9) followed by LG and LR which range from (-3- -7). Any advice on narrowing the gap between my timed score and BR score?

I BR every question except games I'm positive I got a prefect score on, which might inflate my BR score.

Hi all!

I'm going on my 5th attempt at the LSAT (it's been a long and difficult journey for me!) I'd love to hear from some other people who are also in this position or were also in this position at some point. I just have a few questions!

I really need assistance in understanding this lesson: Basic Translation: Group 4

I am not clear on two things.

How do you understand that None is an indicator and not negation.

ex. /A->ADP instead of your choice of A->ADP ?

The rule states to pick either idea and translate. I am confused with step 3 and step 4.

Hey,

I've heard that sorting for your weak LR types and drilling these questions can be highly beneficial. My question is -- should I have experienced these questions within their full sections before employing them for drills? Or can I safely use material from untouched, old PTs and still get a lot of value out this practice? I'm writing the LSAT for the first time in November so I fear I won't have the time to work through all those ancient PTs, but I don't want to waste valuable material needlessly.

If it's no issue, where should I draw the line for which old PTs to use for this purpose? (pre 52, 40 , 30 etc.)

Thanks

Can anyone please help me with PT1.S3.Q10 and PT1.S3.Q14?

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?

Hello everyone,

I have been contemplating going back to my older tests and making sections out of my incorrect LR questions to redo them. But I want to make sure I am making the most out of the process.

How do you retake your incorrect LR questions to understand and correct your patterns?

Thanks!

Should I do the prep tests as I move through the core curriculum, or is it best to wait until I have gone over all the topics/lessons?

Any veterans know whether we're supposed to disclose letters of counseling or reprimand?

Why are the explanation videos taking too long to upload or not at all? Thanks

Hello everyone,

I don't get the correct answer choice for this question. Initially, I thought the argument part is the background problem that the stimulus is resolving. Let me know your thoughts on how to get to the right answer.

Does anyone know if the October 2021 LSAT is just a normal LSAT or is it LSAT-flex?

I took the August test and I don't feel very confident about it so I registered for the October test. I am wondering whether it would be better to reschedule for November so I can have an extra month to study and improve even more. The only thing I am worried about is that if it would be considered late to apply in December. I really feel that my LR and LG are starting to click and my best scores in each section are -2 and -3, the only area I struggle with is RC. I feel that if I invest an extra month to RC, I may be able to bring it down to between -5 and -8. What would you guys do? Thanks

Hi everyone,

I am just wondering what we should do to keep track of questions we get wrong on RC. I was told that we should keep a wrong answer journal for LR, which is something I had been doing on the LR section of the CC (I am on the game section now). Do we also make a wrong answer journal for RC? How do we keep track? Please help me!

Hey guys I just took the LSAT writing for my august test, and I feel a bit worried because when it asked me to take a picture of my ID, the pictures kept coming out kind of blurry. I tried for maybe 5 or 10 minutes to get my computer camera to focus on my ID, but it was still a bit blurry, though you could clearly see it was me in the picture. I'm a bit worried because it said that unclear photos can result in "exam cancellation" whatever that means. Is this something I should be worried about or am I overreacting? Anyone else have an issue with this?

I would like to get advices how to hit two birds with one stone: how to hone your LSAT skills while you are in 1L law school. I'm currently a 1L law school student, thinking to take the LSAT once again just for personal reasons and wanted to ask experts or the experienced how to concurrently hone LSAT skills while reading the cases in your doctrinal classes.

Thank you in advance!

Hey all, I currently have a discord chat for the Oct/Nov administration for the exam. This is for people who want to score in the 170s consistently.

Please PM me if you want to join. Space is limited so it will be a first come, first serve basis.

Thank you.

Q5. Which one of the following indicates an error in the reasoning leading to the prediction above?

Can anybody explain what's wrong with answer choices A and C and explain answer choice .

Please and thank you

Hey y'all, is anyone interested in joining my study group where we do a PT every other day and go over it? I'm interested in working with people who are high scorers in LR and RC. I can help with games.

Hey guys, I took the LSAT for the first time this August.

On test day, I also submitted my writing portion. Right before the time was up as I was proofing what I wrote, I noticed a word had incorrectly auto-corrected to "succumbed" instead of "survived," but the time ended before I could fix it!

I'm so upset because rather than your standard typo it appears that I do not understand the meaning of the word "succumbed!!" Do you all think I should submit another writing sample? Will admissions teams still see the old version anyway? Maybe I should do another and correctly work in the word succumbed just to show that I do know what it means, ugh.

Hey guys, I just wanted to ask if you all had been advised on how long is too long for an addendum?

I am submitting one to explain a low GPA. I think I have decently good reasons and evidence for how I have changed the situation since I was an undergraduate student, but I'm really not sure how much detail to include in my story.

I think I've written a compelling story that is a page and a half long. I could take out a lot of detail and squeeze it back down to one page, but I feel the bare bones version is significantly less interesting and obviously takes away a good deal of context. What are y'alls thoughts on this?

PS, I'm applying at schools in the 60-80 range

Could anyone tell me if two months is enough time to STUDY for the LSAT?

I ran into something that kind of tripped me up and I wanted to hear from someone else (hint, it's the phrase "in order to"). Can I break the argument down as follows?

Because studies show that flex is associated with morale(P), ABC should therefore flex (SCC), therefore increasing production(MCC).

I'm offering a series of free tutoring sessions on various topics I found useful in getting me to the 170s+.

This upcoming session will be on strategies to improve your speed on LR sections without compromising accuracy. We will cover things like multi-step checkpoints to use to know whether to skip a question, how to leave time for a round 2 for skipped questions, what to do with your skipped questions (which ones to do first), what to do when you're left with 2 answer choices, and question-type specific advice. We'll also look at how LR questions have changed in the PTs from the 80s.

A law school I'm applying to has this as a description for whether to attach an addendum to an application:

"We encourage you to provide any relevant information that may be helpful to us in making an informed decision on your application. Any information that you believe to be relevant to your application is appropriate."

I'm debating between adapting my personal statement to be curtailed to each law school I apply to, or to attach a longer "Why X Law School" statement in my addendum to my top-choice law schools. Attaching the addendum would allow me to get more in depth (as opposed to a personal statement which would be more brief) about why a specific law school would truly help me. Basically, I'm asking is it appropriate to, and if so, should I I include a "Why X Law School" statement as an addendum?
