Hi I am looking for a in-person tutor for the LSAT in the metro Atlanta area. I feel like self study has not been as helpful as I hoped, and I need to try another route.
I understand online is much more ideal, but I work much better face to face rather than digital.
I am 100% willing to pay.
If you know anyone please let me know.
Thanks a ton!
Is anyone in the Fort Lauderdale area?
I usually study about 4 hours a day but some days I find it hard to do anything at all, is there a bare minimum I should be doing? If so what?
I take one day off a week but as I get closer to the exam I find myself burning out and no being able to study as much the next day.
I realize this sounds silly, but please understand I have a lot of anxiety that was 100% cultivated through academia. I currently have a full-time job that I handle perfectly well, but as soon as any kind of scores come into the picture, I shut down. In college, I mostly got around this by taking classes that were very heavy on research papers and essays, which I stress over less because I know I have time to ponder, take breaks, revise, etc, but timed tests... not so much.
Saturday I was supposed to take my first prep test, which I already delayed because I felt like I wasn't prepared enough to do so a week ago. Then — surprise, surprise — didn't feel ready on Saturday, either. So, I studied from the moment I got up, straight through lunch, straight through dinner, until it was 10:00pm and I realized I just had to bite the bullet. Of course, by this time I was exhausted, hungry, stressed, angry at the mere existence of the LSAT..... and (though I don't know my score yet because I am currently wrapping up the blind review) I am sure that I performed even worse than when I took the initial practice test, before the course began.
I know that I created a horrible situation for myself, but even with that awareness, I am also aware that I am very likely to do it again. I just focus so much on being 100% prepared and put so much pressure on myself to do well, that I end up completely sabotaging myself. And even when I try to take breaks, I just end up feeling guilty and stressed over the fact that I'm not studying. At this point, I'm honestly getting close to burning out.
If anyone has been kind enough to read this far — I would really appreciate some encouragement, shared experiences, or any tips you might have in terms of calming nerves, accepting failure, or just plunging into the prep tests, without putting an enormous amount of weight on doing so. And even if you don't feel like commenting, thanks for taking the time to read this mess, and I wish you the best of luck with the LSAT!
I find that I am a slow starter during PTs, particularly during LR. My current warm-up is an easy 1-layer sequencing followed by 5-8 LR questions from PTs1-35. I feel like it takes me 5-6 questions during LR to get fully focused and develop a clear-head, which is a problem because I have a tendency right now to miss an easy LR or LG question at the start of a section.
I'm curious to know what other people's warm-up is, or if you warm-up at all? Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Hi, hope all are doing very well (3(/p)
I already sent my apps in. For health reasons, I have been unemployed since graduating in 2019. Apart from recovering, I have spent time furthering my education. I wrote an addendum explaining this in my applications and have thankfully been admitted to several law schools already, so I don't believe this has automatically made me unappealing to any law school. I also graduated summa cum laude from an Ivy League, got a 171, and did a lot of extracurriculars and worked part time in undergrad.
I recently got a part-time internship writing articles for a legal firm's website. I just wanted something that would expose me to legal research and writing for the few months before law schools begins. I had a hard time finding full-time jobs that would take me on for such a short time commitment and let me work remotely.
Is this something worth updating law schools that I have not heard from yet? I am also currently waitlisted at 3 schools. Should I update them too?
Also, how should I update them? By sending an updated résumé (which will be mostly identical to the one they already have) or sending an email?
Thank you so much.
So We can Deny ONLY “some” and “all” relationship??
Can’t we also deny Most, None relationship????? Thank you!!! #help#help#help#help#help#help#help
Hey all! I'm finding it particularly difficult studying from home. At the library there is nothing else to do so it's easier to stay focused and grind for a few hours straight. I'm wondering what everyone else's day-to-day study schedules look like.
I aim to do a section of each + blind review per day but am unsure about how to go about scheduling my time because I find the BR & review are what slow me down / exhaust me before I'm ready to do another timed section.
Maybe it would be better to schedule timed sections pretty close together and BR all of them the second half of the day?
Would love for anyone to share their study schedules below/if you have any tips or feedback I would also appreciate it!
Thanks 🤍
Tampa or Dallas?
This is the only section that has given me issues since day one, and it's the reason I can't do well on this test. My highest official score has been a 164, but I know I can hit the 170s if I figure out what I'm doing wrong with LR. I've read every book, have seen every LR question in existence. I have no idea how to crack this section.
Can someone please provide me with LR guidance? I am planning on taking the June test. I'd be grateful just to score a -5 consistently. Right now, I'm scoring about -11. I've done every PT in existence as well. I'm just stuck and I don't know how to properly study LR without fresh PTs.
Thank you so much.
I recognize that stats are the most important consideration for any law school, but do you feel it's important to have 'professional' job experience?
Context: I've been working in outdoor retail for 2+ years now, and I'm wondering if I should pick up some sort of extracurricular to strengthen my application, or simply find a new job. I don't think it'll necessarily harm my chances, but will admissions officers likely be unimpressed with my current work?
Hi,
I've noticed that I am not improving on argument part and flaw questions even after having a relatively good sense of identifying the premise, conclusion and flaw (I've gone over the flaw list plenty of times). I usually do fine on them under untimed conditions because I have enough time to parse down the grammar and rephrase the sentences in my own words but don't perform well under pressure. I think a reason I am unable to pick the right answer instantly is because the language describing the flaws and arguments confuses me or doesn't make sense on the first read. Can anyone recommend any resources or tips on how to overcome this? Thank you!
Hello,
I'm studying for the upcoming April LSAT FLEX. This will be my second time taking it. I haven't seen much improvement and Ive dug down hard on logic games for the past month.
To be honest I've not been studying as hard due to working on a couple races up until about a month ago, when I decided to take a PT and then drill through some of the intro lessons here and one of the other well known book on logic games (the LG Bible). I took another PT (82 to be exact) and found myself scoring much lower than I did when I tested a month ago.
Im trying to score a 160 and I've consistently scored 154 since my last LSAT in August. As I said, I took a bit of a break from studying due to a hectic work schedule but it didn't seem to hurt my score. Today I scored a 147 (151 blind), and I'm stuck on what my next move should be.
Looking for #advice on how to go about my studies the next month or so, as well as honest feedback about potentially pushing my LSAT back to June.
Thanks all.
Hi everyone. I had difficulty seeing which sentence was the conclusion in this question (the Guam/spider one). I know the first sentence is context. Thank you!

I just took my diagnostic and got a 159. I am not sure about how I should analyse the test now. Should I just go through the explanations of the questions I got wrong. I am not exactly sure how to proceed. If someone could give me some tips that would be great
For those of you who are signed up for another LSAT in hopes to get off a school's waitlist, are you taking the April or June one?
I am registered for April but it seems so soon and I am worried I won't have a drastic enough of a score change. Would love to have some wisdom shed on this topic because I know some schools like Georgetown start reviewing waitlist students in the spring while many also do summer. Thanks in advance!
Should I go with FSU law which has Tution that will cost me on average 27k a year after scholarship
Or should I go with SMU law which will cost me 43 k a year after scholarship ?
Hello 7sagers,
I haven't been doing much of the blind review. Precisely, what is blind review? Isn't blind review essentially the same as taking a practice test? Thanks
Hi I’m in need of some advice. I took the January LSAT and didn’t do very well so I am planning to study more and take it again in September or October to apply in the next cycle. My question is, should I do the entire core curriculum again? Any ideas or tips on how I should proceed are appreciated!
I saw that time shift error is flawed by the reason that we can not ensure that future and the present would be the same as the past.
But at the same time, we use a premise like "Histories proves.". I thought we could use the past as the evidence that future and present would be the same as the past. I thought it's like an analogy of past and present or future.
Is there some body help me close the gap between the above two?
The stimulus is confusing to me: when it says "those who regularly work with it," is that referring to "most builders" or another group of people entirely? And when it says it is likely that papercrete is promising for large-scale construction, is that a flawed argument because the people who did work with papercrete and are familiar with it have only used it primarily for small-scale rather than large-scale construction?

Hi all!
I would love people's advice on what to do the last month of studying? I'm taking it April 10th and would love to hear about the final stretch strategies.
Thanks
How to find the background info vs. premise vs. conclusion in PT4.S1.Q11.
I could not for the life of me figure out which sentences in the stimulus were the premises and which were the conclusion (and perhaps which was merely background info):
Can someone please clue me in?
Thanks so much.
