(1) My professor asked if I wanted specific letters of recommendation written to law schools. Is it possible for a professor to write multiple letters of recommendation for me to upload to LSAC (to be assigned to different schools?)

(2) Is this a practice in law school admissions? LSAC’s guidelines indicate this is possible, but is this a practice that comes up with downsides? (like because this isn’t the norm, it might come off negatively or as collusion)

Misc:

LSAC guidelines seem to imply that a school-specific reference is done when your recommender is writing to their alma mater. But could if your professor just wants to tailor their letter to a school’s interest? And circling back to (1), can they upload both a general letter and a school-specific letter to LSAC? https://www.lsac.org/applying-law-school/jd-application-process/credential-assembly-service-cas/letters-recommendation#:~:text=LSAC%20LOR%20Service&text=If%20you%20use%20LSAC's%20LOR,in%20your%20law%20school%20reports

CLOSED FOR NOW

Pretty early for January, but I have a low gpa and I'm trying to squeeze out everything I've got. (Won't be applying until next cycle) My PT average is 167 and I'm BR in the mid 170s, aiming for a 175+. Main issue is logical reasoning, pretty solid on lg. Looking for a group/buddy to review with, am Central time but can be flexible!!

Comment or message me :)

I have been grinding out Logic Games, both timed and untimed, and I've made little to no progress in terms of my ability to make proper inferences. Even with less pressure in an untimed setting. Has anybody else run into this issue? I have made substantial improvements in both LR and RC, but this section is my absolute worst by far. I am a shoe in for a -12/-13 on my timed PTs and it is honestly pretty discouraging, especially since I have seen that this should be the "easiest" section to improve in. Does anybody have some good suggestions for someone who is struggling mightily with games? I would really appreciate any advice at this point. This is literally a make or break section for me in terms of me getting at or above my desired score. Thanks so much guys.

Hello 7Sage community! I am a full-time worker and I have been studying for the LSAT for 6 months now. I have a pretty solid foundation with BR scores ranging between 172 - 177, but I am having trouble translating that performance to timed sections. I consistently feel behind and slow. I am typically not even looking at 6-7 questions on both LR and RC. I am improving on LG with recent timed sections at -4/-5. Still work to do to get to -0, but it is an improvement.

I am currently PT-ing in the high 150s (average is 158). I am targeting 165+ and would appreciate having a tutor help me develop strategies to get there. I know I can do it, I just need some guidance along the way.

I am in Chicago (Central Time) and am available before or after work (before 9am and after 5pm). I am scheduled for the October and November exams and am highly motivated to meet as often as possible to improve.

If anyone is out there scoring 165+ (hopefully in 170s), please DM me. I am happy to get together over Google Meets or whatever is easiest. Thanks!

Hi everyone!

I have a question about applying to American law schools on LSAC. When you add a school to your list, do you have to pay the fee before starting the application or can you just add it and take a look at the application and then pay once you submit? I would really appreciate any guidance on this topic, thanks in advance. Not entirely sure how the American system works since I'm primarily applying to Canadians schools.

please go over PT1 S3 Q12

Hey all, has anyone used any grammar books (or course/class) that you found helpful for LR and RC? I did the CC grammar section and figured that I needed to study more.

Thanks for the recommendations!

Struggled with this one. Can someone process this with me? Thanks

Hi All,

I've been tutoring with @Sami for the past few months and have been able to improve my LR from an average of -5 to a -1. In order to solidify the strategies I've learned, I would love to provide free tutoring to someone who is in the mid/high 160s scoring -4 to -6 in LR sections. I will have to stick with this range since this was where I was plateauing most recently and have learned the skills to overcome the high 160s plateau. I am based in Asia (GMT +8) so sessions will need to be scheduled in line with the timezone's hours. Do PM me if you're interested!

Edit: Due to the overwhelming amount of interest, I'll have to close this discussion and focus on those that have messaged. Thanks!

Does anyone have any advice on how to get through LG more quickly? I have additional 50% time accommodations on the LSAT so that's what I practice with and I still feel rushed and can't always finish. What takes me the most time is problems where it seems like I have to test out every answer choice. On PT 68 I got -11 and -1 BR on the LG section so I know I can do the games it's just timing

Hi, everyone. I am currently reading a textbook of Australian Torts Law, and the following sentences really confused me.

"However, there are four exceptions to the requirement of actual or constructive possession. The common feature of each of the exceptions is a notional possession by the person out of actual possession, through either possession through another in respect of whom there is an association, or where a gap in possessory title to sue might occur." Would anyone explain the words in bold to me please? What does it mean by "through either possession through another"???

Thank you!!!

Hi all,

I am facing a really troubling fact and decision regarding if I should continue my pursuit of becoming a lawyer. I have recently finished my 7 sage curriculum and I started with a diagnostic score of 138. I have done practice sets and BR as well as watching explanation videos. That said in my last 4 prep test I have repeatedly gotten a 143 even after BR. I am feeling very discouraged and am not sure if I should even continue at this point. I have a high GPA but not even being able to break into the 150's is troubling. Not sure what to do at this point and any advice would be helpful. As background I started studying around the beginning of May and am registered to take the October 3 LSAT flex.

Hello,

I was looking at the course and after the course it shows only PT that you need to BR and Review. Did anyone find helpful doing so many PT and blind reviewing so many of them?

Hey guys!

I was just checking some of my application statuses for fall of 2021. One of my top schools says "Current Status: Admitted Full-time Day". I know this seems silly but i have not heard from the school yet and my decision status change was 2 days ago...would this be an official decision or what? because under decision status it does not say anything. Let me know if you can!!

What do you guys think is the best way to attack the consecutive Problem Set sections of the syllabus . I feel like after a certain point my brain thinking gets convoluted after grinding them out consecutively. Do you guys do them consecutively or approach it differently?

Hello-

I have been into a deep dive with the Core Curriculum (which has been extremely helpful with deepening my understanding). My issue is I have not taken a complete test for over a month now. Is this advisable? Should I follow the critical areas of the CC as listed in the syllabus from top to bottom (I have just begun the Logic section) or should I begin to weave into my studies full test? For information and response I have elected to take the January '21 test to provide more training time for solidifying these concepts.

Thank you for any information provided.

Best,

-PS

I want to improve and be more efficient when i do my wrong answer journal. Any advice?

I have been studying for the past 6 months pretty much full time and my highest PT has been a 157 (goal is 165+) and I was planning on taking it in Oct and Nov and am not scoring how I want to right now. I have a few questions. First, what will change if I take more time to study less intensely over a longer period of time than full time studying? How much should I study per day or per week and how to have consistent opportunities for improvement without burning myself out? Regardless, appreciate all and any advice as I did not expect to need more time and am feeling a little bummed about that.

I noticed that for this question we are being presented with a principle in the stimulus. The principle used conditional logic:

Intended General Audience ------> book has to discuss aesthetics and utility

In order for the conclusion to be true, the principle has to then be "activated." In order for that to happen you must either 1. satisfy the sufficient or 2. negate the necessary. The answer choice ended up satisfying this sufficient.

This isn't the first NA question that I have seen structured this way. I am not sure if this is an observation worth noting for future NA questions. I have only done a handful of NA questions so far, so I would definitely appreciate some insight.

Also, if there is a flaw in my reasoning I would really appreciate the feedback:)

Thanks in advance!

Hi! I'm signed up for the November LSAT and am currently scoring in the 167-169 range. Would anyone like to form a study group? I am looking for people to help keep each other accountable and form a study schedule! Leave your e-mail below if interested :)

I'm currently working on drilling NA and have gone back to re-do the CC lessons on negation. I have slowly started to find success in applying Ellen Cassidy's strategy of finding the loophole in the argument. For this stimulus, my loophole was: What if psychotherapy helps treat the chemical imbalance? Just because you don't know about the imbalance doesn't mean that there isn't a possibility that the current treatment would help address it. After reading answer choice A, I immediately circled it. However, I decided to read through all the other answer choices. I was able to easily eliminate B and C. B addressees a comparative issue that was not directly addressed in the stimulus. Meanwhile, C simply did nothing for the argument. I was left with A, D, and E. A fit my loophole nicely, but D seemed so tempting. I ended up negating the answers, but it seems like I negated them incorrectly. Would appreciate it if someone could check my negations:

For A, I negated it to:

Treatment by psychotherapy can produce some effective reduction in or correction of chemical imbalances ......

For D, I negated it to:

Either psychotherapy is more effective or there is a tie between the effectiveness of medication and psychotherapy, in regards to trying patients with mental disorders.

How would you negate answer choice "E"

Also, why are D and E worth eliminating?

Thanks in advance!

I want to get at least a 165 and I am currently getting around 159-160. My best section is Logic Games and I just started The Loophole to hopefully help with Logical Reasoning. I am registered for both the October and the November Flex, but I am wondering if it would be better for me to just wait until the November test so I have the time to get those extra five points. I have a feeling that if I take the October Flex I will be cancelling my score but I know Law Schools probably won’t look at it the best. Should I take the October Flex as preparation for the November test, or should I wait for the November test to make sure I get the best score possible?

edit

How did you rule out Answer Choice "C"? Some folks mentioned, the AC gives only "what's valued" and that doesn't constitute a resolution. What if, people got better at being ambidextrous as they grew older and that's why the % of LH Population drops as you grow older?

I have been struggling with two different types of RC questions recently, InfAp and RecMP. Does anyone have any tips to help out with those specifically or RC in general? Thanks!
