I have a quick question that hopefully someone may be able to answer:

I have the exact median score for 3 schools on my list. I know that (all else being equal), being "above" the median LSAT greatly improves chance for admissions and being "below" can be a tough obstacle to overcome.... what about people in my situation? For background, I am slightly above median GPA for two of these schools and about .1 below median GPA for the other.

Thanks so much!

I could improve my score by the time of the November LSAT, so I'm thinking of pushing my October LSAT back. However, I'm afraid this would put me in the later end of the law school application cycle and that my acceptance chances would diminish. Does anyone have any advice on this? Thanks!

Hi, I wonder if the Aug lsat count to the seven times test taking limit?

Hey everyone, I planned on purchasing the Ultimate+ month by month course but was wondering what the Bundle Prep Plus is and if it is worth adding to my purchase? Does it provide anything else worth purchasing? Thanks everyone!

Hello, guys would anyone like to start a small group chat focused around preparing for the November 2020 LSAT or any exams at later date this year (i.e January or February). Definitely would like to start a small group chat with around 8-10 where we can bounce ideas off of one another and seek guidance.

If you think this may be something of interest please comment below with your email information and I'll be sure to coordinate accordingly.

Thank you !

"What is the best strategy to take notes on RC during the LSAT Flex? How do I keep track of what passage or word I am referring to in the notes if I write it in a scratch paper?"

Hey!

I recently took the LSAT and am starting the application process. I wanted to reach out to one of the law professors in the department I'm interested in at my number 1 school to try and get more information about the program/any application or admission tips, but I'm not sure how to approach it and write the email.

Does anyone have experience with contacting professors like this, and if so, how did you do it? Also, does it reflect negatively on me if I am reaching out to a professor before I have even applied?

I saw on the lsac website that we could receive a voucher for a future lsat if we opted too. Does anyone know how to go about asking for a voucher? This is the number listed on the LSAC website 215.968.1001but every time I call I get a busy tone... Is anyone else having this same issue?

Hi everyone.

I graduated from my degree granting institution with latin honors (summa cum laude) but I was a transfer, and my cumulative GPA with my other institution is definitely not that. Summa cum laude is on my resume because it's written on my diploma, but since LSAC has calculated a different GPA, I feel weird putting that on my apps and law school resume, although they do ask for honors and awards... Any suggestions on what I should do?

I still don't have a writing portion done on the lsat, I was wondering if anyone had any tips, or helpful videos for doing this portion.

This is not LSAT/Law School related but I thought I'd ask here to see if anyone has any thoughts. I am applying to Boston College School of Social Work so I can hopefully do a dual MSW/JD. Under the Work Experience section it asks you to list professional, volunteer, or teaching experience. I'm wondering if since this is all it asks for on the application if on my resume I should also omit retail/restaurant experience. Thanks!

I was running on average of 158 on my practice tests, but woke up Friday to see a 154 on my August 2020 LSAT Flex. Needless to say, I'm disappointed. I have an LSAC fee waiver, so I've already gone ahead and signed up for the November exam. I'm wondering two things:

a) Should I cancel my 154 with score preview and apply early with my LSAC applications indicating that I'm retaking in November or should I KEEP the 154 score on my file with the indication that I'm retaking in November? I know that either way they won't review it until the new score comes through, but I feel this anxiety about waiting until literally late November to send the applications, and there's always the chance that I could bomb the November test even worse. It may be irrational, but I can't get it out of my head. Hopefully that makes sense.

b) Perhaps more importantly, does anyone have any general tips for retaking? I studied for months before the August test, and saw myself improve drastically from a 150 on my first prep test. I know I'm cutting it close buckling down on studying to retake in November, but I do already have months of practice behind me. The problem is that I clearly didn't do it right the first time. I am really strong in Reading Comprehension, fairly strong in Logical Reasoning, but consistently struggling with Logic Games. I just can't seem to crack them, no matter how much I practice. I'm pretty sure I missed every single answer on one of the Logic Games on the August exam.

That was lengthy, I know, but if anyone has any tips, I'd appreciate it.

I've been drilling PT 35-end, I'm currently almost at 50, but I've struck a string of just not very challenging games, or at most 1 challenging game per section. I eyeballed the difficulty based on 7sage rating, and a lot of these games have 2/5 difficulty with maybe one having 3 or 4/5. This rating is mostly consistent for the most recent PT's (with exception of the awful flower game section).

I guess what I'm asking or what I may inevitably find out is are more recent games either significantly different or harder than those in the 40's or 50's? I almost feel like I'm wasting my time drilling 40's and 50's given that they all seem not very challenging.

When I did PT 66 Game 1, the last rule was confusing:

"J must meet on an earlier day of the week than O."

Why is it not "J _ O" but it is JO, since it said: AN earlier day?

Thank you

"I have a strange question and some unique circumstances, and I would appreciate your discernment. I am an active duty air force officer, and I purchased the premium package last year (planning on testing this past spring and fall).

Here's the meat of my question- when should I plan to prep for the LSAT? I want to devote at least 6-12 months preparing rigorously, but I chose not to do that this year as soon as I found out I couldn't apply for this fall. My fear is that I will prep for 12 months, rock the lsat, only to have a score I can't use for another 7 years (therefore making it irrelevant).

My premium membership I was grandfathered into expires next week, and I do not know whether to extend, choose to prep for a year, test, and save my scores for 5 years, or if I am better off losing my membership, and restarting once I receive career-field release.

Do you have any thoughts on this? Will a score that is 3 or 4 years old look bad?"

Hi all - does anyone have any good strategies for taking notes/marking for RC on the LSAT Flex? Usually RC is my strongest score when I'm taking the test on paper, but having to read on a screen is really screwing me up. I'm taking the October LSAT (trying to raise my score from August) and really need to increase my accuracy on RC. Appreciate any tips!

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to better approach the Argument Part Questions? I feel like they are "freebies" yet giving me a hard time. #help

I have an LSAC fee waiver and I can't seem to find a satisfactory answer as to whether the schools see this or take it into account when evaluating applications in re: economic disadvantage, etc. I know that many schools of course provide the application fee waiver, but from what I can tell that is an automatic process, not something determined by an actual human. Does anyone know?

I ended up taking the GRE a while ago and got a 169 verbal (98 percentile) and 156 quant (59 percentile). Definitely not pleased with the quant score but decided not to retake. I took the LSAT and my highest reported score is 165 (and I will not be retaking). Should I consider sending in my GRE score along with the LSAT score where I have a choice? Or is it a bad idea given my poor quant score?

So, I have 5 LOR that I can use. 3/5 are from people that I had an extremely close relationship with and still keep in contact with, they want me to succeed and also they are important people/professors from my undergrad, and I know they wrote GREAT things.

The other 2/5 are professors that I had a great relationship with as well, and was #1 in their classes, but their communications with me has been extremely poor which has me worried of what they might have written. One of them is from a Western Civ course that had a huge class, debates, and I was the top student, and the professor was initially happy to write a letter... The other is from a practical reasoning / logic course / game theory that I was also top in his class, but he didn't seem thrilled to write a letter and communication extremely lacking.

Considering I have the option to submit up-to 4 letters, should I just go with the 3 I know are very strong and only submit 3/4? Or would having 4/4 be better even if I am unsure what the other two might have written? Should I contact them both and share my concerns with them?

Advice please

I got a 167 on the June LSAT and had a goal of at least a 168 on the August (I was PTing around 171). I was disappointed to receive my score back as a 165, though I wasn't too surprised as I did not feel confident during the August exam. I'm wondering now if I should write an addendum or just hope for the best. I know that COVID is a reason a lot of people have for not reaching their full potential, but my college came back 2 weeks early and is having all classes in-person, so my plan to take the test at home with no other responsibilities was interrupted. I'm only mentioning this to get some feedback as to whether or not this warrants writing an addendum as explanation. I would really appreciate any advice, as I'd like to get some applications out in the next week or so. Thanks for any help you can offer!!

I’m a US citizen/have a US home address etc but just moved to the UK to start grad school for a year. I took the August LSAT Flex in the US, but want to register for the November LSAT-Flex. November is not offered in the Europe region though!

Is the testing region based upon where you are located when taking the test, or where you are from? Could I register for the November LSAT (US region) even though I’m taking it in the UK?

More backstory:

I did register for October though so will take that test if I can't register for November. Ideally, I want to take it in November rather than October because I'll have more time. I got a 169 on the August LSAT (I'm grateful for the score), but know that I can do better (based upon my avgs), but think I'll need more time than 2 weeks.

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a tutor for a few sessions on reading comp. before the October LSAT. I am scoring around 160 right now with the majority of my incorrect answers (Usually -10 to -15) from RC so I'm hoping to make some improvements before the test.

Thanks,

Marcello

Hi there! I'm looking to opt-out of the October LSAT (which I'm currently registered for) and get a coupon for the November LSAT instead. I've been navigating through the LSAC website to figure out how to do this, but to no avail! Does anyone know how to make this switch?

Just as noted in the title. I had been scoring in the low-mid 160s, then scored a 170 last week. Since then, I have been scoring in the 150s over the last 3 prep tests I've taken.I've been doing about one a day in the last week since I am taking the LSAT in October. Idk what is going on or how to fix this. I felt like I had a sound grip on the fundamentals and now cannot seem to get back on track. Any and all advice is appreciated
