I have searched for about an hour and haven't found the information that I'm looking for so I'm hoping someone here could direct me to where this was mentioned but legacy accounts can't be extended so the price is jumping from 25$ a month to... what? $69? For the exact same information or is there going to be more included?

Hi! I am planning to take my LSAT this April 2021. I am looking for a virtual study partner to work through LR questions or just hold each other accountable and go over strategies/questions/concepts. Message me if you would be interested! Thanks.

I applied to 18 law schools, with most law schools acknowledging receipt of my application between December 8th and 16th. Most of those law schools fall within the top 20. So far, I have only heard back from 1 school (an acceptance), and that was the single school that I had applied to in January. It's been total silence from the other 17 schools -- no interview requests, rejections, or acceptances. Is this normal? Should I be concerned?

Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone could possibly provide some advice for the situation that I am in. I am scheduled to take the LSAT this weekend and I have been preparing since October.

Two weeks ago, I was out for a run and I slipped and hit my head. I sustained a concussion and I have not studied since as I am still experiencing symptoms. I have documented the concussion/symptoms with my doctor.

At this rate, I know that I am not in the best position to do well on the exam and I probably will not be taking it.

Given the circumstances, will the LSAC allow me to move my test date to the April exam free of charge?

Has anyone else had a similar circumstance where they were not able to take the LSAT due to a medical reason?

Hi all. I wanted to write this post because I have struggled immensely with the LSAT for over a year. I have never struggled on an exam/anything school related so much in my life. I have always done very well in school and considered myself pretty smart but, most importantly, a very hard worker. With the LSAT I have worked very, very hard and truly given it my all and tried everything. I've taken it twice and both times, unfortunately, my score was much lower than my expectations & practice tests. It has been so frustrating to me to put in so much effort into something and not see the results of that labor.

The LSAT has challenged me tremendously and really affected my mental and physical health in ways that I have tried so hard to work through for years. All that being said, even though my scores have been disappointing, I'm proud of myself for giving it my all. I'll be studying for a few months and giving it one last shot but I've made a conscious decision not to go crazy over this exam. I will find another way to get into the schools I want, and wherever I end up it's where I'm meant to be.

As a first-generation college grad, immigrant, and low-income woman of color especially this exam has made me doubt myself in so many ways and doubt whether I am good enough to even go to law school. It is incredibly upsetting and unfair how much importance is given to the LSAT in the admissions process at top schools. In my opinion it is a way of gatekeeping certain kinds of students out and that is so unfair and angering.

YOU ARE MORE THAN THIS EXAM. Your LSAT score does not define you.

At first I thought I had this and was feeling good, until I got a question wrong, read the explanation and found out that what I considered to be background context information, the author/solutions/explanations used the statement as the premise, that according to the explanation, resulted in a totally different answer.

In the absence of premise/conclusion indicators, what is the best method or way to decipher and/or distinguish between premise, context, and conclusion/(thesis) information. In addition, in using the "so test" to determine, I find it a matter of opinion as to what sounds right or wrong for a conclusion statement determination. Thereby, some stimulus have the conclusion broken up throughout the passage whereby you have to piece the words or phrases together in order to come up with the proper conclusion. Thus in using the wrong method to choose a conclusion, could yield in choosing or picking the wrong answer choice and an unpleasant LSAT score.

Please help. Thank you.

Hello, I just took PT 62 and got a 163 on actual but 175 on blind review.

However, I submitted my LG section when I still had 6 minutes left, and had the most wrong answers there. The section was just tough!

Can anyone provide reassurance/advice on how to get my actual score closer to my BR score?

Does anyone have any advice in using 7sage test analytics for RC? The ease of "hey just do more of X type of question" from LR and LG don't translate well to RC. Do people use this part of the analytics much? Or do people just go "ya i just have to work on humanities passages"

Thanks!

Hey everybody,

I'm doing my final rounds of application checks and a thought popped into my head regarding the C and F Addendum. So I was cited for (lets just say for now) "smelling roses", nothing bad at all, but nonetheless I know I need to mention it still. No problem with that. But I can't seem to remember the exact day I got my citation. The only thing I've written is that it occurred in Fall 2010. Do I need to find the specific dates that I was given my citation, the exact day it was dismissed, and the date of court appearances etc? I have a well written addendum that explains the circumstance, my culpability, moving forward and learning from my mistakes, and how I've had no issues at all since, but I read somewhere that I would need to get specific dates, witnesses, and other stuff that I felt would be superfluous.

Thanks for help people peeps!

Hi,

I just got waitlisted a school and am now writing a LOCI for that school. It made me wonder, should I write LOCI to my top choice? I haven't heard back and am currently under review. I don't want to annoy them, again it is my top choice.

Anyone have experience with this?

Necessary assumption questions are kicking my ass. If anyone has any resources or a way of teaching it to me I would be forever thankful. I understand it in concept but when it comes to the questions I struggle a lot.

Hey Everyone ,

I am looking to take the lsat in summer or october 2021. The idea is starting a group via clubhouse which is an audio social media platform via invitation only (and of course iPhone only). Clubhouse is merely an app yet I see it as an exciting way to connect with anyone trying to either motivate or link up and study. This could be something great as :

  • Easy to connect with app directly from cellphone

  • There is a platform for speaking then hand raising for questions or discussions.

  • Awesome reminder feature that allows us to easily connect.

  • We can form a big or small group and learn amazing things through discussions.

    • How will be do this?

    I currently have 6 invites we can start with, then those 6 invites with then have their own invites to share.

    comment below so we can get started :)

    Hi, this is a tricky question, I was wondering, if I wanted to purchase the premium for a month to focus on LG and LR, could I take a break by stopping the subscription the next month, but still be able to access whatever I have done or watched? I am basically trying to see if I can watch some of the PT's LG or LR video explanations, but then have time to review it in another month without the subscription.

    I've been studying for the LSATs for a little over 3 months now and I'm barely averaging over 150 and my timing for logic games still sucks. I'm taking the LSAT flex in April and I'm beginning to panic. It feels like I'm yet to reach that learning curve and honestly, I'm tired and discouraged. Any advice on how to get better at this?

    Does anyone know which law schools require parent information on the fafsa form ? I know it varies from school to school, but I can't seem to find this information for some schools... Is it best to just fill out the parental portion regardless? Technically, we're considered independent when applying to professional schools but it sounds like some schools need the information for grants ?
