Hi guys,

I registered for the July LSAT-Flex, but I do not feel ready yet. However, when I tried to withdraw it from the LSAC website, it said "not eligible to withdraw." Does someone know whether we can withdraw LSAT-Flex or not?

Thank you!

Hi everyone, I'm looking for a study buddy anywhere in Canada! What I would like to do is the following:

  • message each other daily to keep our study schedules on track (currently finding myself slacking a bit)
  • discuss important dates for all Canadian universities that we want to apply to (and lsat dates)
  • Please let me know in the comments below!

    Thanks! :)

    Hello all I was wondering if there is a list out for the opening date of law school applications. I know some open in august and others in September but was curious if there is a resource with it clearly marked out so that I could organize my application cycle.

    I am trying to develop a system for figuring out when a full game board in needed on LG. I am struggling to get my time down while still getting the games right.

    One idea I had was to try and go ahead with the questions as fast as possible and if I identify the need for a game board after a question or two, to spend a few minutes building out game boards and then go back to the questions. These feels a bit messy though

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks!

    Hello all! I’m having trouble bringing my timed score up to my BR score. Based on my scores and studying history, how do you guys think I should continue to study in order to bring my scores up?

    Studying Background:

    I scored 152 on my diagnostic on May 1st. Since May, I’ve completed the LSAT Trainer and the LG Curriculum from 7Sage.

    The Problem:

    Today, I took my first PT since the diagnostic and only scored 157. I think the problem is that I'm too slow. In literally every section, I run out of time around question 20 and am forced to quickly guess on the last few.

    For context, I was only able to complete 3 games and it takes me about 4 minutes to read a passage in RC.

    The reason that I think this is a “timing” issue instead of an “understanding” issue is that I have 85% accuracy on the questions that I do answer and because my Blind Review is solid (178). I only spend about 30 minutes on the Blind Review, so it’s not as if I spend all day to bring the score up to 178.

    My Questions:

    Based on my studying background and the problems I seem to be having during the exam, what would you guys recommend I do to bring my score up?

    Is my problem a timing issue that can simply be resolved with more PTing? Or does my low score suggest a fundamental lack of understanding? Should I be doing multiple timed PTs a week or continue to focus on fundamentals?

    As you can tell, I am at a loss and would appreciate any help.

    Sincerely,

    A fellow LSATer.

    I took the May Flex exam and am signed up for July. I think I remember being able to talk to my proctor beforehand, like they talked to us and introduced themselves and made us follow the directions? That would be the best time to tell them about potential problems and stuff beforehand right? Like you could clear it up and be like please dont interrupt or if you find something wrong pause the time or whatever

    Question about chest-playing programs.

    I'm confused as to how this method can be used to compare chess-playing programs - to get the question right it seemed like you needed to know that you are only comparing one chess playing program to itself (there is no second program you are comparing to)? I'm having a hard time understanding how/why you would compare 1 chess playing program to itself run on two different computers.

    Any insight?

    Hi everyone. I did the Khan academy test prep, but made the mistake of really only doing the tests and not really trying to learn anything. I started 7sage a few weeks ago and am working my way through the CC now. I know I would like to have a tutor but I am curious when the best time to get a tutor is/when most people accept students. Is now a good time to seek a tutor? Or do I need to be doing PTs to benefit from a tutor? Thanks!

    Hey guys! Does anyone know how the timing works for the flex? For example is it just 3 35 minute sessions consecutively? Are there breaks? Does anyone know where I could find more info about it?

    Hi everyone! I'm taking the LSAT in August and thought it might be nice to have a group of folks to study with for the last couple of months. I'm currently scoring around 168-171 on PTs and am aiming for 170-175 on test day. Let me know if you're interested- if there's a pre-existing group I'd love to join as well. Thanks!

    So... I have taken a PT and not completed BR for it... I was planning on doing it when I had more time, though now when I am trying to do the blind review, I cannot access it. Is there a way to do this that I am just not seeing?

    I'm currently floating around mid to high 160s and I'm trying to consistently get into the170s (I'm taking the flex in July so I have about 3 weeks left). I'm drilling my weakest LR question types but I feel like it's not as productive as it can be. I make problem sets say for NA questions with a blend of Medium, Hard, Harder NA's from old exams and I do them untimed really trying go through each question (out of 15 fo them I get about give or take 2-4 wrong) but I haven't really seen an improvement in my LR scores, it's only been like missing 6 on average to missing like 5/4 on average now per LR section. Do people who have been in similar situations have any advice on improving and getting consistently -2/-3 on LR sections? Should I not be doing these drills untimed? In addition I also do timed LR sections btw but been really trying to get NA's and Weaken questions on lock.

    Hi,

    So the correct answer here was B. According to JY, B is right because the argument requires an assumption: that in order for direct mail advertising to not be bad for the environment, it needs to replace those who would normally buy something through car rather than getting new people to buy stuff. However, I didn't see this argument flaw because I didn't know how we could assume that direct mail advertising was bad for the environment at all-- after all, the stimulus only tells us why normal shopping is bad, and doesn't tell us that direct-mail advertising creates paper waste or anything like that. Creating paper waste or any negative effect of direct mail advertising in real life seems to be a scientific fact, and I thought that LSAT doesn't want us to create assumptions regarding scientific facts. As a result, the argument actually looked pretty sound to me, and none of the answer choices looked any good to me.

    Can anyone explain to me how we are able to assume that direct-mail advertising is worse than not buying at all when the stimulus never seems to tell us that (thus making B correct)?

    Thanks!

    Best regards

    Hi.

    I am curious whether it is possible to reset the analytics. For example , I've recently started studying full-time again and wish to delete my current Problem sets and completed PTs. I can't seem to figure out how to do this. Thanks.

    Last thing I think about when I'm falling asleep and first thing I think about in the morning - HOW DID I DO????? IS IT GOING TO BE WAY LOWER THAN MY PT'S? HIGHER? OH GOD. Anyone have some tips to stay sane/personal experience with this?

    Hi,

    The correct answer here was E. I understand why the answer is E (because it shows an alternative explanation for the phenomena described in the stimulus), but I have trouble understanding why D is wrong. After all, if following the protocol actually works in curing infection, then doesn't that weaken the argument by showing how maybe it isn't the protocol that is counterproductive, but possibly something else that is causing the higher infection rates?

    Thanks!

    Hey everyone, can somebody please help me out, I’ve been studying since March and am aiming for a 165. I average missing 4-5 per LR section, missing about 3 on LG, but RC is killing me. I’ll go anywhere from missing 5 to 12 and was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to improve. I plan to take the October exam and was thinking about taking 2 weeks and doing 2 RC sections a day (one in the morning untimed and one at night timed) any suggestions would be appreciated thank you!

    hey guys, i took the June 2007 pt as a cold diagnostic in January as i started my LSAT journey and got annoyed at how low my score was, and deleted the results - horrible lapse of judgment - without blind reviewing as i didn't know how to effectively do it at the time. now im finally done the CC, after many breaks, and want to see how much better i got, but i realized i deleted the results so i cant go back and compare from the original. My question is, should i just retake the June 2007 pt and then blind review and see how they compare to the score of the cold diagnostic, or is it just a waste of time and just start PTing at PT1? thanks for any feedback.
