Admin Note: Formatting Guidelines No. 4

A few months ago I asked if anyone would provide some advice on whether or not admissions consulting was worth it. There were so many great comments (thank you to anyone who was willing to share their experience!!) and I was completely convinced. I ended up doing the unlimited editing for one essay through 7Sage (personal statement) and just finished up the final draft. I cannot explain how incredible it feels to have finished this huge part of the application processes rather than finishing it last minute.

If you are considering admissions consulting, I HIGHLY recommend Sarah Cohen - she is an incredible person to have in your corner and I absolutely would not have put together an essay that I am so proud of without her. She was able to capture a single experience I had that I never would have considered writing about and helped me make it into an exciting 2-page story. I seriously cannot thank her enough, so it feels like the least that I could do is to give her a quick plug here :)

Let me know if you have any questions about my experience, I am happy to help.

Hi all,

Does anyone else work in the public policy space? I work in policy research at a think tank in DC. Would love to hear other people's experiences/maybe find some people to talk policy with.

Hello everyone,

I am planning on writing the November test, and am wondering:

When will the LSAC announce whether the November test will be in-person or flex? (I cannot imagine the test not being flex, but I am curious as to whether other people share the same thoughts)

While we do not know whether the November test will be flex or not, should I PT with 4 section tests or 5 section tests?

Thankful for any feedback!

I have gone through the course and watched all the LG videos and done most of the problem sets but I'm still unclear on a few things. I know this stuff is basic but I am really not smart.

So say there is a rule in a sequencing game if x is 3rd then y is 5th. Does that mean is y is 5th, then x has to be 3rd? I keep thinking the answer is no. Or if it is an in and out game. If X is in, then Y is in. I know the contrapositive is if X is out, y is out but what about if I only know y is in. Does that mean x has to be in as well or can y be in by itself.

I really don't get lawgic and can't follow when JY starts writing formulas. I'm sure his explanations are great, my brain just cannot process them. It doesn't work right. I've got extra time accommodations for the actual test but I still don't come close to finishing LG.

Hi, I cant seem to improve my score ive been studying for the past few months. like i keep scoring in the 146-9s and the highest was like a 150. I originally started at a 143, it sucks when u dont see much change even though ur studying everyday and everyone around u is succeeding. At this point i feel like im gonna fail and there is no point in studying for the lsat. I just feel dumb

Im foolproofing all the games from 1-35. However, if you guys are also foolproofing, do you do the Miscellaneous games as well? I know they are beneficial for picking out inferences that can help with future games but the setups for these games are so different compared to the games now. Would ya'll recommend still doing these games or drill games such as sequencing, in out, grouping etc instead?

Is anyone else having issues with some answers being saved incorrectly when they complete the BR portion?

We will now allow test takers to use a regular or mechanical pencil, or a pen, while taking the LSAT-Flex. You will still need to show your writing utensil(s) to the proctor during the check-in period.

In addition, test takers may use soft, non-electronic, non-corded/banded, generic foam ear plugs, which will need to be shown to and approved by your LSAT-Flex proctor.

I like it!!

Why was this B, not C?

Hello,

I have been mastering the LR and LG sections but my main issue is with RC ! Can't manage to get less than 9-10 mistakes per section.

I need tips and help please !!!!

Not really a discussion, I just think y'all should add a tag for except questions.

I have a sneaky feeling that analytics would show that to be one of my biggest priorities of study if that tag was available. I also think that it's just generally useful.

Thanks!

I am looking for a couple of people who are struggling with RC.. for the October test.. currently scoring in the 150's -160's.. I am wanting to do one passage per day timed and then do a blind review as a group.. for example one test = 4 days worth of passages.. If interested please message me and I will get a group going.. I have friends who did this and they went from -10/-12 in RC to -2/-3.

Thanks,

Madison

Looking for 7sagers in Alaska - want to form a LG study group.

I bought a one month package and cancelled right away so I wouldn't accidentally not cancelled. Now I want to extend. How do I do this? My package ends tonight

Hi Everyone! My university sent the transcript to the following address (w/ the LSAT form) and when I called LSAC they said they never received it.... even though it was sent 3 weeks ago. I'm glad I called!

Just to confirm, is this the right address?

LSAC

Box 2000-M

Newton, Pennsylvania

18940-0933 United States

Thanks!

I ended up going with answer choice C and quickly skimmed through D and E.

I am having a hard time understanding why E is a better answer choice than C.

Thanks in advance!

Hello!

I am currently scoring in the 150's and am hopeful to increase this to 160 by October. Please let me know if you would like to create a study group and do BR's together! We can work via zoom!

Thank you!

Thanks!

I'm requesting transcripts from a community college because I took a summer class there, and it has the option of sending them to "Law School Admissions Council--JD--LSAC---LSAC Box 2000" or "Law School Admissions Council--LLM--LSAC--LLM Credential Assembly Service."

Are these the same thing? My undergrad institution didn't have the option of selecting either one, it just said LSAC.

Hey folks,

I'm scheduled for 8/30 at 4:20 pm...Looking for someone to bounce prep tests against for review. I just broke into the 160s after a 141 diagnostic in May (after COVID for 2 weeks and a full time job) so I've seen progress, but it's not consistent and I'm suffering in the same 2 areas: LR (flaw/parallel) and RC. LG is pretty consistent with -0~2 on regular and usually 0 on BR So I can help with that if someone needs feedback. I've taken the last 2 weeks off and the next 2 weeks so I'm aiming for that finish line.

Looking for someone who wants to keep it up on a daily basis with me and also wants an accountability buddy. I'm not delusional enough to believe I'll break 170s in the next 2 weeks, but a few points here and there and some consistency in scoring would be awesome. Don't get me wrong...I'm studying as if a 180 is possible, so expect that kind of commitment.

Who's hyped enough to finishing up these next 2 weeks?! Message me and get ready for most of your day to be filled with problem sets and PTs~~

Who knew that I would open an email from LSAC and actually be happy?!

LSAC has approved the use of ear plugs for the August Flex!!! woohoo!

Here's the exact language from LSAC:

"We are pleased to announce that in response to requests from test takers, we are making a few changes to the items test takers are allowed to use during the online, remotely proctored LSAT-Flex.

We will now allow test takers to use a regular or mechanical pencil, or a pen, while taking the LSAT-Flex. You will still need to show your writing utensil(s) to the proctor during the check-in period.

In addition, test takers may use soft, non-electronic, non-corded/banded, generic foam ear plugs, which will need to be shown to and approved by your LSAT-Flex proctor."

On my desk I have a few decorative items, books, and a plant. Will I need to remove these items when I take the LSAT flex?

Hi everyone,

I wanted to write this post for people who have been diagnosed with a mental illness/disorder and are considering applying for disability accommodations. If you feel like studying for the LSAT is a lot harder because of your diagnoses, my advice is to consider talking to a therapist about applying for disability accommodations. I was diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder my junior year of college and got good grades because most of my finals were take home and had amazing understanding teachers. However, the LSAT was something that I just had a lot of difficulty overcoming and felt like I had to sacrifice many things in my life and study 10 hours daily just to catch up on time loss from getting stuck on obsessions or doing my compulsions. After one year of studying and talking to my therapist, I realized that OCD is something that I simply couldn't shut off when taking practice tests so I applied for disability accommodations for extra time and got it! I realized that life does't have to be so hard and that accommodations was going to put in a fair playing field. I'm writing this post because a year ago when I first started studying for the LSAT, I didn't know that I could qualify for LSAT accommodations because I assumed that it was only for people diagnosed with a learning disability. But now that I know more, I wanted to write this post for anyone who also has OCD or a different mental illness to consider applying for accommodations. You deserve to make life easier for yourself. I hope this message can shed light for other OCD sufferers studying for the LSAT (3 & def sending positive vibes for the disability community ! We are strong and worthy of going after our goals.(/p)

Hi everyone, August Lsat-flex taker here.

I wanted to ask what kind of scratch paper we are allowed to use. I think it states blank paper but I heard from lots of people that took the previous flex that they used lined paper without problems.

I would also prefer to use lined because my writing tends to get messy with blanked.
