Hi all, I was wondering about getting a small group together to give each other some unbiased feedback on our personal essays for those of us applying to law school this fall. This would cover anything personal essay related depending on where each of us are at in the process--- helping each other narrow down topics, revising for narrative, and editing for clarity and grammar. I imagine we would end up going over multiple different versions of the same essays over the next few months, but it depends on how many people are interested and where they are at.

EDIT: Feel free to join the groupme to ask questions or find/give revision help! https://groupme.com/join_group/61203662/wGCnVIHU

I took the July flex and didn't score as well as I wanted to so I'm retaking in October. Should I wait until after my October score is released to apply? A friend said I should apply as early as possible but if I apply before October only my bad score will be on file...

How do I know if My request gets approved? Where on my account do I look? Also I read it could take 14 days, has anyone gotten them back sooner?

Is answer choice E incorrect because of the second half that reads, "unless manufacturers would reap large benefits..."

Also, I didn't really understand why C is the correct answer here. C seems to imply that the manufactures are in fact being deceptive which is what the consumer advocate is trying to prove. I tagged the first sentence in the manufacture's dialogue as the conclusion for the manufacture, and again answer choice C seems to go against this.

I would really appreciate any help with trying to figure out where I went wrong.

I have been consistently writing down explanations of LR questions I got incorrect (and many I got correct) in an attempt to improve my speed and understanding. I’ve been working on this for a over month, and I just cannot seem to finish a section on time with accuracy. I almost always score -4 going 5 minutes over time (working through the 50’s and 60’s PT sets). Ideally, I would like to be scoring -2 with a few minutes to spare, and I’m concerned that I won’t be able to get there in time for the October LSAT. Any tips or advice would be highly appreciated 😔

So I'm at the point in my studies where my BR score for LR (both sections) is consistently very low (-1, -1, -4, -2, -2) on my last 5 PTs but my timed score has lagged significantly (-6, -5, -7, -4, -7).

Part of what has been frustrating me is that I typically finish an LR section with plenty of time to spare (10-5 minutes left) but it just seems that I am never able to allocate those last minute effectively - I will confirm a wrong AC or two (that I'll then get right in BR w/o the time pressure) I'll go back to questions that I got correct that I probably shouldn't be double-checking, etc.

I'm aiming for low-mid 170s so I don't expect my BR to become my timed score and I'm not shooting for perfect either but I'ld like to get a better grasp on how to allocate the remaining time that I have bought with being so efficient on the 1st round.

I'm spending this week on drilling full LR sections in the 70s (already done these so I'm not burning fresh PTs in case any one is wondering). I'm trying to track 1) how much time I have left at the end of the section 2) how many wrong ACs I end up switching to right (and vice-versa). Should I also be tracking how many questions I unnecessarily go back to? What else should I be tracking?

In addition, I'm continuing to drill weaknesses that I found and really 'full-proof' out questions that I missed the day before to cover any gaps and familiarize myself with the feel of the newer questions.

Any thoughts? How have other people improved this?

Hey all,

I'm taking the August LSAT. As a backup plan, I am considering enrolling in the October LSAT as well. Does anyone know what the refund policy is for the LSAT. If I feel like I did well on the August LSAT, it would be cool if I could get a refund for the October LSAT.

I took the July 2020 LSAT, when is the time to do the writing section? Is there a time limit? Is it done online with a proctor?

I feel so defeated. Someone please help me with RC. I cannot improve no matter what I do. Its holding me back from getting a good score and I am losing hope. Any tips are greatly appreciated

Hey guys!!! I feel like i really need some accountability. I have finished the course material and have done a lot of PT but i feel like my graph has gotten flat now plus i'm losing motivation. I'm aiming for a 170+ score so the next one month is going to be HARD CORE. Lemme know if you want to go crazy with me. Fierce girl power is ON.

I'm in IST time zone so having someone around this timezone would be perfect BUT i am open to adjust honestly.

I speak fluent English. :)

Its gunna be just a Zoom Webinar with general LSAT questions

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to take the August Lsat and was wondering if ya'll have any study tips, advice, articles for the last month of prep? Thank you.

Hi friends,

My name is Tyler. I've found that studying for the LSAT alone has become a bit grueling, to say the least. I've been using 7sage for the past 3 weeks and am ~20% completed with the core curriculum. Scored a 140 on my cold PT, but i'm determined to hit 160 by early October. I'm hoping to put together a small study group of 3-5 people that are at a similar stage in their journey. If you're in need of some support, drop your email address below.

I'll be sending out an email early this week to coordinate schedules/meeting times. I'm thinking we can hold a zoom meeting once or twice a week to talk through challenges, learnings, experiences, etc. More detailed outlines to come...I look forward to meeting all of you and conquering this exam together!

As an FYI, I'm on PST just in case that's a dealbreaker for any of you.

Hi guys LR is my most consistent section but it seems like the questions I always get wrong are flaw questions. I’ve already been over the flaw curriculum in 7Sage so many times and still having issues anyone know any other resources for those types or advice? Also for those of you taking the flex at the end of this month are you changing up your studying since it’s getting close? I’ve decided to simulate flex tests as much as possible just to get used to the timing and flow because like I said LR is my saving grace so now I have to make sure I’m quicker and better in LG and RC since I won’t have the extra LR points to rely on.

Any tips on RC? I’ve improved but still my worst section. If u have noticed any patterns in wrong/right answer choices for RC please tell me my brain gets the LR ones but still not as good in RC really could use tips like desperately haha

I have been struggling with PSA questions. I am averaging -3 on LR section and most of the time the questions I get wrong have been PSA. So far, I've been through the PSA lessons provided by 7Sage and have seen some improvement, but it still seems like something just isn't clicking. Its hard to pin-point what I'm doing wrong in terms of approach and would really appreciate any insight on others' approaches.

I'm currently an undergrad student and I've been studying for the LSAT very seriously since Feb 2020. I've done the CC and have been practice testing since June. I've taken about a month off from studying because I had a full-time internship that took up my whole day. I'm signed up for the August LSAT and was wondering if anyone had advice on how to quickly get back in the groove of things?

For context: Scoring in low 170s and want to be around that range for test day -- thanks!

Does anyone know when we can sign up a time slot for August FLEX? I saw someone saying that the LSAC sent an email, saying that they will receive another email regarding the time slot sign up in mid-August, but I didn't receive that email. I just called the LSAC and they said they didn't know exactly when the email was going to be sent, they just knew it would be somewhere in mid-August. No further information was provided. So basically we are going to receive the email one day, and then we can sign up. Then how do we make sure to sign up as soon as the email arrives? It's very weird. Can anyone share how FLEX time slot sign up works in previous North American FLEX? Thanks a lot!

I took the June LSAT Flex and decided to take a few months off from studying afterwards. I want to retake as I did not get the score I had hoped. However, I don't even know where to start! Do I jump right back in to practice tests again? Or go over the entire curriculum again?

Thanks for any advice about what has worked or not worked for you!

Can someone explain why answer choice D would not weaken this argument? Is it because it directly attacks the premise stated that businesses value their profits? Is saying they treat the "fines" as a business expense essentially saying they do not value their profit because they are not remedying the problem? #help

I really do not understand why A is the correct answer instead of B, could someone help me out?

Hello,

I am taking the Aug LSAT-flex for the first time and I want to ask how to improve both sections before test time? I have been serious since May and I have been having trouble in getting the answers correctly. Somehow, I would know the answer right away but then I would second guess myself in picking the wrong answer and finding out that the answer I knew the first time was the correct on and not the other answer. Is there advice out there to fix it before test day? Thanks

Hey guys, I've spent quite a while on weakening questions in the CC. I took a break and formulated a weakening question for fun to see if I properly understand them. Would you mind taking a look at my Weakening Q and letting me know if I have a fundamental understanding of it?

Question:

AlwaysBeClosing: Every time I sit down at the couch, the dogs run up and sit on my lap. They must really like me because I don't see them doing this with anybody else.

Friend: My dogs are trained to find the weakest human in the room to get treats. Then, they sit on that person's lap. Therefore, my dogs don't actually like you, they just want treats.

AlwaysBeClosing: :(

Which one of the following, if true, most seriously weakens the argument made by the Friend in response to AlwaysBeClosing?

(A) ABC has never encountered a dog that didn't like him.

(B) The Friend's dog gets treats frequently before ABC comes over to the Friend's house.

(C) ABC's mom considers him to be an emotionally strong person.

(D) The dogs sit on the laps of people they've known for a long time. ABC has known them since birth.

(E) The dogs don't like most people.

Thanks!

Hi there,

I was hoping for some advice for how to break through the tough 158 to 160s gap. I've tended to score around a 158 and I'm really trying to get to the 160s, is there any advice for anyone who has jumped from the high 150s to low-mid 160s?

Hi! I am currently in a waiting period before I start work in December. My plan was to take the November LSAT and apply to law school in a year or two after working. If the November test is a LSAT flex should I wait until it is the original format? Will law schools expect me to have taken the original format if I apply in a year or two?

Hey guys, I just started doing problem sets and I am having issues with the timing aspect of it. It takes me a while to understand and comprehend the stimulus. As a result, I am usually rushing through the last 2 questions with less than a minute left.

For those of you that have experience.. when did you start seeing improvements in timing? Do you have any advice for improving the speed at which you comprehend/understand the question?

I appreciate any suggestions.
