I just finished my LSAT Prep Test June 2007 (timed & blind review) and the curriculum showed me my score and answer sheet then took me to Main Point & Main Conclusion Questions. Do I continue with the curriculum or am I supposed to review the answers of my PT first?

I am drilling reading comprehension and I average around -11 timed, not able to finish answer questions, to getting around -3/-4 untimed. I feel like I take forever.

Any tips on bridging the gap? Completing all passages on time? Links to your favorite resources or tips already mentioned in discussion forums?

Thank you very much in advance.

What is the best way to improve Logic Games performance? My issue is lacking speed. I have been re-doing Logic Game problem sets, but have run into the problem of running out of problems to do. I did poorly on the last actual LSAT in November as result.

When schools have prompts asking how the program at X Law will help you in your future professional and/or academic pursuits, should you explain how in each paragraph or tie it up at the end?

I am wondering if anyone has taken the Flex using a standing desk or knows if they are allowed. I haven’t found anything definitive in my searches. Thanks!

Hello fellow LSAT takers,

I recently read a thread that discussed scoring below the median just like me. I noticed there was a large out-poor of comments. Yet, I have been unable to find study groups for those whose performance is sub-par.

I was so grateful that someone finally posted about it.

Anyway, I am now extending an invitation to those in the same boat and anyone willing to help.

Feel free to drop a comment or join in group me. :)

Thank you to @daisyharding08 for organizing. This group is now closed.

Does anyone who has taken the Flex have a recommendation on a time slot to choose? I have been taking PT's usually around 12/1PM but not sure if its a good idea to continue doing that as I'm sure the volume will be higher during that time on test day, just trying to avoid any technical difficulties.

Any other Flex advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi guys, is anyone interested in being study partners for the Jan LSAT? I took the November LSAT and got a 168 (was PTing a lot higher but oh well I'll try again!). I'm a bit rusty because I haven't studied in a while but am confident I can pull this off in Jan. I'm thinking of doing BR calls/ discussions and sharing strategies and schedules just to stay motivated, because I've been having a hard time getting back into studying and I think this is a really helpful way to stay on track

Also - I'm usually on the east coast but am currently staying with family in Asia right now (and doing the Asia LSAT flex in Jan), but can be flexible with time zones!! My time zone is 10 hours and 30 mins ahead of eastern time

Let me know. Good luck!

Does anyone out there have any inkling whatsoever whether the lsat dates to pick from will be. 11-15 or 18-22??

can anyone help me the availability of the book "the loophole in LSAT logical reasoning" written by ELLEN Cassidy?

I stay in India, the book is unavailable on amazon, flipkart and other online websites.

I need a readable copy or atleast a PDF that can be printed.

the website of the publisher itself has not mentioned the international courier facilities for the book to reach me.

If there is anyone, with anyleads, I 'll be obliged.

thank you.

Hi y'all,

So I had taken the LSAT earlier and scored 167 on it. I was quite content with my score and was ready to apply with it this cycle but then couldn't do so due to some family situations and Covid. I am an international if that matters.

So I plan on taking the LSAT Flex in April and wanted some input on how should I go about it?

Important points to note: I am working full-time (its a hardcore job with me working 10-12 hours every day on weekdays and I can possibly only study properly on weekends).

I used to do either really well or really bad on LG. Moderately consistent on LR. RC my best days were -3 otherwise I rotated between -5 to -7.

My test average before I took the exam was 167-168 (so right about where I scored). BR used to be low 170s.

Thanks a lot fellow sagers!

Also, a shoutout to Sami for my previous 167. I took her weekend free tutoring sessions that she used to give. Really helpful in every way!

Is there ANY possibility that LSAC will be releasing any more flex tests? I know they released May months after it took place, but I was wondering if there is any possibility of LSAC releasing the June, July, or August tests? I'm really hoping for new materials.

The structure of the stimulus in both of these argument part questions seem very similar and the argument part identified in question stem seems similar as well.

Why is it that the last sentence in 8 "our sun has an unusually high abundance of these heavier elements for its age" is not an intermediate conclusion but that the last sentence in 20 "the heavy industrial activity of coal mining would force most of them to close" is an intermediate conclusion?

Hey guys,

Hope studying is going well for everyone. I am at the stage of my LR studying where many times when I am doing a question, I find two answer choices attractive. And I am left between which one to choose. Sometimes I will get the question right and sometimes wrong. Any recommendations on how you guys approach this problem on LR questions?

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

Could someone explain this question to me please?

Lol at this discussion thread title, but I truly think my test anxiety will be the death of my score.

I am blind reviewing in LR between -3 and -5, took PT 83 S1 couldn't even finish the section and scored -11 (left 5 questions blank).

I could feel that I was really anxious because I knew I was being timed and I wasn't able to understand the stimuli/think as logically as I do when there is no pressure. I need to close my gap and kick this test anxiety before January! I really feel that it hinders my ability to think properly. :(

If anyone has been in my position or has any tips, I would greatly appreciate it.

I do like to take positives away from each test and all the strengthen, weaken, NA, MSS/MBT questions I answered were correct. Ironically I got the SA/justify/RRE questions wrong which are usually pretty straightforward for me. My Bernese Mountain dog was barking during my test so I'm hoping it was just a once off lol.

hello my fellow friends,

I have started preparing for LSAT and thereby simultaneously, started to use powerscore bibles.

I can sit and concentrate while doing CC on 7sage, but I find bibles boring and monotonous and therefore I am not able to sit longer with them. I feel doing bibles and their practice books are important for me to build a smooth base of understanding.

all the helpful people there, kindly suggest me some tips, tricks and hacks that keep me motivated and focused on the journey.

Im started to get really stressed. I want to make sure I take the flex exam but I dont know if i will be 100 percent ready by april. Does anyone know when the rest of 2021 tests dates will be released and do you think they will continue to be flex?

Hi everyone!

I will be starting my LSAT journey again after a 1.5-year gap after receiving a 150 on the July 2019 LSAT. I just purchased the Loophole because of its great reviews. For those of you who used the Loophole with 7Sage, what was your strategy? I am planning on going through the CC again and based on past performance, I think I can benefit from the Loophole so I would appreciate if you can share what worked for you.

Thank you in advance!

I’m reading a new book called Essentialism, that I believe applies very well to the LSAT. The idea is to focus on fewer things and maximize them rather than spread yourself thin trying to do too many things. There are many examples in effective LSAT prep ranging from techniques to long term study strategies.

Reading Comp annotation is an excellent example. I only give my students about three or four things to annotate that give you the biggest bang for the buck. By contras, techniques with seven to ten things to annotate are just too many to keep track of and you’ll spread yourself thin. I’m not suggesting the three things I teach are mind-blowing but in my humble opinion, they are the most time effective to understand a passage.

Another example is Skipping or, as I like to call it, doing the questions on your order. You’re prioritizing the questions you’re more likely to get right. It doesn’t mean at all that you don’t get to the others but you don’t make the more challenging questions a priority. So if you’re going to run out of time, you’ve got the lower hanging fruit in the bag and the questions that you are less likely to get right are de-prioritized.

Studying priorities - another eXmple. Again, you only have so much time to study. Prioritize what gives you the biggest bang for your buck. Narrow down the resources that are going to give you the biggest priority. Whether that comes to a certain textbook or course or question types where you need the most help.

Study hours themselves are another great example. When students have an opportunity to study as much as they like I often suggest that they refrain from the temptation to make this a full-time job. It sounds really great to devote 8 hours a day to LSAT study to maximize your score. But the concepts are so abstract that you won’t be effective after a few hours. I tell my students to limit their study hours 4 to 6 max. It’s not easy because it forces you to limit your time to the things that’ll be most effective. But you’ll find that your focus is much more powerful throughout those few hours rather than spreading yourself thin through eight. Often if a student goes beyond four hours or more, their focus begins to wane.

You may find that making choices of what not to focus on can be quite challenging. But as a student, and through years of teaching, I’ve consistently found that focusing on fewer things that make a bigger difference is what leads to the most improvement overall.

anything would help. i really sturggle on these

Hi all! Hope everyone is doing well.

Quick Q:

Some law schools (e.g. Boston U) request that we don't include high school activities in our resume.

However, I did a lot of relevant legal stuff in high school (interned with an attorney, mock trial, etc.)

This is stuff I definitely want them to consider in my application...

How bad would it be if I just left these high school experiences in there despite the instructions? o.O

Thank you!

Out of curiosity, has anyone gotten into Northwestern without an interview? Is it bad to skip out on it ? I'm currently applying and haven't decided if I want to do an online interview. Any insight would be appreciated! Thank you

I just sent in my application on the 26th of November but I am so anxious to get my decision back. Has anyone gotten theirs/how long did it take?

Hi! I don't really understand why B is wrong even after reading numerous explanations. If areas subject to more fires (which is true when the level of rainfall drops below normal for an extended period of time like in a drought) tend to be less densely populated than areas where there are few such fires (where there is normal rainfall), doesn't this explain why there is less damage in areas during long periods of drought? There is less population or structural damage by the fires if there aren't a lot to begin with as opposed to ONE fire in a densely populated area would be disastrous even if there is normal rainfall.
