In a month and a half I moved from a 148 diagnostic to a 158. I am registered to take the October LSAT and so I have about 6 weeks left. My dream is to score a 165 but that seems impossible right now. If I take 2 practice tests a week and drill my weaknesses can I do it? I have a job and so I only have time to do LSAT stuff about 15 hours a week tops. Should I move my test to November?

Hi everyone,

Looking for current buddies and/or a group to keep accountability/prep for October LSAT (and possibly November). My average over the 7 PT's I've taken is around 170 (163 on the first and 179 on most recent). My blind scores have consistently been high 170s-180, and starting next week will be taking two tests a week from PT's 70-90 and conducting in-depth reviews. Goal is to score at least 170 on October exam. Would love to find some people (preferably with test averages of 165+) willing to do group Blind Reviews or section reviews of those tests + share insights and tips for performing under time pressure!

EDIT:

Hey everyone! I've gone ahead and created a groupme link for people to join. Feel like this group chat can act as a general Q/A for general and specific questions about the test, as well as a place for us to coordinate (for example, I'll let the group know when I'm taking PT's and available to BR, and others can do the same!) I'll post the link below! Happy to hear that people are interested!

Hi everyone. This is my first time using the discussion board so I apologize if it's a big longer than the typical posts. If you do decide to read it through though, I so so appreciate you.

This post is about PT5 S5 Q15 and really any other questions that have the same problem. My problem is that the question can have two meanings. Here is the question: "Q's response serves to counter any use by M of the evidence about 85-90 year-olds in support of which one of the following hypotheses?"

The first interpretation of the question can be paraphrased like this: "Which of the following is a hypothesis that Q's response supports and also counters the evidence presented by M?" The second interpretations can be paraphrased as such: "Which of the following is a hypothesis that M's evidence supports that can also be countered by Q. The difference is that in the first interpretation, the clause [in support of which one of the following hypotheses] is completely separate from the others. In the second interpretation, the clause [in support of which one of the following hypotheses] is embedded within the clause [any use by M of the evidence about 85-90 year-olds in support of which one of the following hypotheses].

(In syntactic language, interpretation one has a structure in which the PP [in support of which one of the following hypotheses] is the daughter of the main VP, while interpretation two has a structure in which the same PP is the daughter of the main DP.)

The difference between the two structures is pretty critical because it determines which person the answer choice must support, Q or M. The problem is since both structures are equally valid, both interpretations are correct. So, my question is, how are we the test takers supposed to know which interpretation to assume, when both meanings are grammatically correct?

"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?

Hi everyone! I am taking my second LSAT here in October and have been consistently scoring around the mid to upper 150s. My goal score is a 161-163. I am desperately trying to improve and have ample time to do so, but need some advice. Any thoughts or advice to help improve my score let me know- please!! Also would be happy to provide any of my metrics for each section.

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 heard it is a common thing to write one like writing a diversity statement together with your personal statement. Some say it might help your app but I heard some admissions hate reading the extra document?

Should I write one for every school I'm applying or not? My 2 pages personal statement does not included anything about certain school.

Any advice is welcome! Thank you so much!

Does anyone have any insight into what types of LOR's would be most beneficial for those of us who have been out of undergrad for a long time (10 years)? A recommendation from a former professor feels very irrelevant at this point. I'm planning on asking for letters from a few lawyers, a former employer, and the CEO of the non-profit I work with. Wondering, for those schools that only accept 1-2 letters, which might be most impactful.

Greetings all!

I am looking for people with open schedules that are highly competitive and willing to kick each other in the butt when not on task! I am creating a google doc with links to great information but also times and date that we can meet in zoom calls or just chat through group messaging . Please drop your email if interested. I'm not a spamming bot :/ I wanna score high and need DOGS around me!

Hi I understood that B is the best choice but I am confused as to how its pattern really match with the pattern in the stimulus.

Basically, I was threw off when seeing "are designed to" in B and moved on, only to realize all other choices are wrong. By the time I got back to B again, at least 3 min was already wasted!

Is my mindset wrong for thinking that the pattern needs to be highly matched?

Thanks in advance!

I am starting to see the new numbers coming out for the class of 2024... most of the schools I am applying to have increased their LSAT score by 2 points. This is so discouraging, because I was already on the low end and was hoping to balance out my lower score with a 3.92 GPA. Do you think these high LSATs are going to go back to normal for this upcoming cycle or stay the same?? Literally one week away from applying to a lot of schools, this is such a buzz kill.

RC is one of my strongest sections--I at most go -3. I will be doing an RC session on Tuesday at 11am PST (2pm EST), so feel free to join me! We will be deconstructing a passage together and going over the questions.

I will be posting the Zoom link shortly before the session begins. Feel free to message me if you have any questions.

Thanks for joining, everyone! Sorry the Zoom meeting cut out. If you have any more questions, feel free to message me.

Hello everyone! I'll be taking the LSAT for the second time in November and 7Sage has been wildly useful. I alternate between core curriculum and practice tests since some of the material is not new to me. What is your day to day studying like, do you use materials outside of 7Sage? Just curious to know where other November folks are because I would love to know what else I could incorporate at this time! Best of luck to everyone!

Hey ya'll! I am taking my exam in October and I am looking for a logic games tutor. I desperately need to get better at making inferences and was wondering if a tutor might help. Please reach out if you are up for it. If you are willing to offer free sessions you would be a god-sent but if not I guess we can discuss rates (not really sure how that works but we can figure it out). Thank you!

Every time I take a timed test I don't get to finish the last section of RC and often the last section of the LG too. There just seems to be too little time, and I worry about it during the test, which also costs time. Anyone has any strategies for finishing on time?
