Is the April LSAT too late if I want to apply for fall 2021?

I'm about to cancel my Jan LSAT-Flex score.

if I cancel my LSAT - Flex score, law schools can find out that I cancelled my score?

Lol I thought I would be free from the LSAT after January... Wishful thinking! I canceled my subscription and it was set to expire on February 3 (today) but now I'd like to continue it. However I don't see any option to continue being charged as normally, it just says it's canceled? Any help is appreciated! Thank you.

I've done this question a couple different times, and each time I get wrecked.

Stimulus

To have the most successful economy you need to train as many people to:

Japan seems to be thriving in regards to the standards set above.

Europe, on the other hand, is in a weaker position :

There aren't enough scientists to research and develop tech. It also lacks labor to use the tech.

Then we are told that Japan has a shortage of "technically qualified" people. They have a lot of people qualified to complete menial tasks.

A couple of things that I was still confused about:

Answer choices:

A. "worldwide shortage" - in the stimulus we are only told about what's going on in Japan and Europe so we can't make any inferences about what's going on worldwide

B. I went with this answer choice, because of the sentence that said that Japan didn't have "technically qualified" people. I did question whether or not you needed to have qualified people in order to meet the criteria that was outlined in the first sentence, but it seemed like a better answer choice than the others

C. "highly skilled labor" - all we know about Japan's labor is that it's based on people who aren't "technically qualified"

D. I confidently eliminated this because the stimulus said that Europe had a shortage of scientists who could research and develop new tech. I thought this implied that there was a shortage of new tech. If there's a shortage of new tech, why would you need more people to apply new tech? If you hired a ton of new people there wouldn't be any tech for them to work with, right?

E. "other countries" again, we don't know about other countries. The stimulus only tells us about what's happening with Japan and European countries.

Would greatly appreciate an explanation on why D is correct and C is not.

Thanks in advance!

Hey guys, can I take the LSAT Flex on Mobile Hotspot.

I'm about to cancel my JAn LSAT-Flex score.

if I cancel my LSAT - Flex score, law schools can find out that I cancelled my score?

After receiving my first LSAT score back from Jan. Flex (149), is it worth attempting to improve my score on the Feb. Flex? The odds of improvement are low in only 2-3 weeks.

Or, is having multiple scores perceived more favorably by admissions counsels? Any insight is appreciated!

Thanks,

I was waitlisted at a couple of schools and was told that re-taking the LSAT in April might help me get off the waitlist. I have a couple of worries about this. Won't holding my application till late April be detrimental to my chances? Also, I am not sure that 2 months of studying are enough to get my score up and if I get another low score won't that also be detrimental?

Hi everyone,

I am planning on taking the LSAT Flex in a few weeks, and I find that I struggle with In/Out Advanced games. Does anyone have any tips for how to best approach these and for how to be completely accurate? Thanks.

What would you say it means that I consistently miss more AFTER doing blind review than in my initial run of a problem set? Is it just a matter of second guessing myself too much or is it a bigger fundamental issue? If it's just a matter of second guessing, any advice on how to combat it? Thanks fellow LSAT warriors!

Hi, I was threw off by this logic line as title.

My grammatical understanding is when using "not A or B", the sentence sometimes mean not A and not B.

If a sentence uses "not A or not B", then it means literally "not A or not B".

However, when seeing a sentence "unless A or B", I am not sure how to interpret such sentence.

So I wanna know which is the correct translation of the title?

(i) not A if neither P nor Q

(ii) not A if not P or not Q

Thank you for your time.

Appreciatively,

Leon

Hi guys! I am planning to retake the LSAT in 2021 summer either in June or August, and planning to organize a small LSAT discussion group for strategies sharing and motivation purposes (3-5 people). I have joined a couple in the past and personally works the best in a small group with close PT scoring (we can meet up once or twice to share our thoughts/strategies/or just rant...). So, here are some information about me, and if you are interested in joining, please comment below!

Since questions that require making inferences about some/most statements vary across type, I was wondering if anyone had a list or even a question they might recommend as a good test of your ability to chain/negate/make inferences with some/most statements. Any tips, resources, or where to look would be appreciated!

LSAT-Flex Feb registering on Proctor, is it started for anyone?

Hi! I am using the LSAT trainer and studying for between 15 and 20 hours a week while working full time. I am shooting for the April test and trying to improve my score from a 155 to breaking 170. Does anyone have any advice on supplementing The Trainer? I'm doing a lot of practice actual exams (62-81). Considering using the 7Sage monthly subscription for the last few months of test prep to help with reviewing. Anyone do the same thing? I am about 6 weeks into studying. When do most folks see improvement in their scores?

Hi- I'm new to 7sage so sorry if this question is obvious or already been answered. For about a month I have been working off of physical PTs and scoring them myself/ blind reviewing. Now that I have recently subscribed to 7sage I'm hoping to take advantage of the analytics by entering which questions I got right and wrong on these tests. Is there a way I can do this? Thanks.

Hi. Can anyone explain why E is incorrect and how A is supported? Thanks!!

Admin Note: I deleted the question and answer choices as it is against our Forum Rules to post LSAT questions and answer choices on the Forum.

I've taken the LSAT once so far and scored (what I estimate to be) a -3. On PTs, I generally get anywhere from -1 to -5, with an average of -4 in a normal section. There is a lot of fluctuation is my LG performance, depending on the section.

I've been doing games for a long time now. I started with the PowerScore LG bible and went through that twice. Since then, I've FoolProofed a bunch of games and also drilled most of the early games (PT1-20) by game type.

I don't feel particularly weak with any of the most common games (sequencing, grouping). If I just sit through a section in BR, I can almost always get to -0 on my own. Here are my weaknesses right now:

Execution: I find that during the timed section, I sometimes let my nerves get the best of me. When I'm just reviewing, I feel like I can calmly work through a section, but during the timed run, my form just goes out the window sometimes.

Making inferences: This has to do with nerves as well. I find that I tend to rush into the questions because of a lack of confidence with making inferences up front (i.e., before starting the question).

Timing: On my actual administration, I didn't have enough time for 2 of the questions, so I had to guess them. That's how I know I lost at least two points in LG. I sometimes lose time on the easier games in a section. On some sections that are quite hard to me, I sometimes manage my time so poorly that I cannot comfortably finish all 4 games.

Weird games: I struggle with what PowerScore calls pattern games, mapping games, and, to a lesser extent (because they are so rare) circular games. I froze when I came across the Employee's Workpiece game in PT72, and I tend to have a lot of difficulty with games that have bizarre setups. And this is despite having worked through the weird games in the early PTs.

I've watched a handful of the videos in the LG section of the Core Curriculum, and I've worked through a few question sets. I've done every game in there already, and I've probably seen the explanation videos for many of the games. Is there anything special about the LG Core Curriculum that I won't get just by drilling games and watching the explanation videos for each game? Does J.Y. add anything extra in the LG Core Curriculum?

How can I best spend my time if I want to get from where I am to -0 consistently? I am scheduled for the April test, so I still have more than two months, and I feel like I definitely have plenty of time to get to -0 consistently before then, since I'm so close!

Should I just drill games, watch the explanation videos, and then FoolProof?

Were any of you stuck at the -3/-4 range before getting to -0 consistently?

I've heard many people who have gotten to -0 consistently on the games sections swear by the LG Core Curriculum, but I wonder if it would be a good investment of time for me, given my situation.

I would also appreciate any advice from you all about how I can get from where I am now to -0 consistently. I know that if I can get to -0 consistently, I will be able to score in the 170s consistently. I'd also love any advice about addressing my weaknesses mentioned above.

Hi everyone! Does anyone know when we can register for our test on proctor u?

How do you know that your Lor’s have been assigned and will be sent to the school. Under Lor’s on my application, it just says required:#

Accepted:#

Total cannot exceed

Is it supposed to say complete under Lor if it has been correctly assigned?

Please help

I'm looking for advice on whether or not to write a diversity statement for my U.S law school application. I moved from the U.K to the U.S when I was 11 years old because of my dad's job (I'm now 22 years old). I am also the first person in my family to graduate from university. To note, I have no history of overcoming socioeconomic hardship nor am I part of a historically underrepresented group. This is what the law school put in the description for the diversity statement:

"The committee shall take into account all factors that indicate that the candidate will contribute to diversity, including, but not limited to, a history of overcoming socioeconomic hardship; family background with little or no formal higher education; membership in a group that has historically been underrepresented in the legal community, including, but not limited to, groups based on race, nationality, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, religion, disability, veteran status, or age; geographic diversity; or service employment in furtherance of the goal of diversity."

I'm very conflicted, so any honest feedback would be amazing!! Thanks in advance

Hi, I'm looking to create a study group where we can keep each other accountable, share different techniques, go over questions and just help each other out. I have started studying again from the basics. I'm looking for people who are currently scoring between 140 to 150, and we can grow together and aim high. I have yet to decide which platform to use for the group so please let me know which you would prefer.

How much does cancelling really hurt your application? I cancelled my first score and got a 171 on my second, but I am hoping to take it again to improve my chances at getting into a top tier school (Harvard, Columbia, UChicago). If I were to take it and cancel again, how much could that hurt my application? What about if I got a lower score on my third one?

Hi everyone. I just need to express this to people who might understand. I keep having minor but frequent freak outs about doing worse on this LSAT than in November. I also can't find much information on what happens if you get a lower score your second time except what I have already read on a previous post about schools just choosing the highest of the two scores to evaluate but it still gives me so much anxiety.
