I was waitlisted at the end of February, and sent a LOCI around late March (it may have been too early since the first seat deposit date was April 15). I expressed why and how eager I am to go there (my first choice) and what I would like to do once I get accepted, including my future plans.

I haven't heard from the school until now and am getting a little anxious about waiting - although I'm supposed to remain calm!!! I have no plan to take an additional LSAT, nor have any changes at work or other soft factors that is significant. I am not so sure of my chances in getting off the waitlist but want to do as much as I can to change the decision...

I am not so sure if the school accepts a second LOCI, but should I still write one? Maybe talk about the professor I would like to work with etc... Or should I just write a short (2-3 sentences) email that just appeals my continued interest? (Cuz I don't want to push them you know...) Or since it's already mid May, is it just too late to take any additional actions?

Thank you in advance!

During my last PT, there was some kind of glitch in my LR section. I was not able to see all of the answer choices and was shown only 3 answer choices for some questions or just 1 answer choice. I tried scrolling up (sometimes the answer choices are long) to see more but that didn't work either. I had to stop my PT and do a timed BR and then actually do BR. I'm not too sure if this has happened to anyone but if so, how did you solve this problem?

Thank you.

Hello all! I am looking for a LSAT study buddy, study group and people to share resources with. I recently started my studying journey. I am aiming for the Oct or Nov LSAT but it all depends on when I feel ready. I am open to Skype, Zoom, text, calls, facetime etc. I am in the eastern time zone. I am new to the site and I do not check my inbox much but my email is contactme.janelle@gmail.com. Feel free to shoot me an email. - Janelle

Hey all,

Can we think that "confusing a possible solution as the only solution" to be similar to "confusing the sufficient for necessary", or is there another nuanced difference between the two that I'm not quite catching onto?

studying full time for the august 2020 exam, looking to find a serious study partner!

Does anyone know if the CC has a list or if there's a lesson on this? Thanks!

Should I do a PT the day before my For-Real-Test?

Hi all,

I had a few quick questions about conditional statements.

Say we have A --> B.

I know that if A is not met (sufficient) or B is met (necessary), I know that the conditional statement falls away (without needing to know the outcome of the other). But does falling away mean that the conditional statement is INVALID or that it is NOT TRUE (hence, false)?

Given A --> B, I know that the conditional statement is false if A is met but B is not met. But are there other ways for the conditional statement to be false other than the situation I've given above?

Thank you!

Are there requirements for the room? Like we cant have any books or anything in there?

Hi,

So I tried taking a preptest on LSAC's lawhub (preptest 36 to be exact), and right after I took it, I saw my score, then went back to the library. When I clicked back on the preptest, all my answers, EVERYTHING, was erased. It was like I never even took the test.

Anybody else having this issue, and if you found a way to solve it, please reply!

Thanks!

Best regards

I've been doing a lot of RC sections lately as it's one area I'm trying to improve at. My scores have definitely gone from an average of -10 to -8, to about a -2 to -5. Normally I'm at about a -4. However, I've been doing older RC passes - 20's and 30's, because I've been wanting to save the newer ones. I've become concerned upon reading that RC passages are generally easier the older they are (some people have said significantly so) compared with the newest preptests. Is it even worth doing the older ones? How much harder are the newer ones?

I purchased the 7 sage curriculum along with the LSAC prep test bundle so that I could view the questions and answers. Neither the link from 7 sage, nor the email link sent by LSAC will let me “activate” my profile. I can’t reach anyone from LSAC, so I’ve been unable to fully utilize my purchase for over a week now. Any advice?

Any information?

We want to let you know about a pre-law summer program (online this year, thanks Covid) from Duke Law school.

It's hosted by Prof. Neil Siegel who also happens to be the professor behind our Constitutional Law Explained course. He's been running this program for a few years now.

The program takes place over two separate two-week sessions. You'll get to take law classes with Duke Law professors and meet special guests like U.S. Senator Mike Lee and Dana Remus, Chief Counsel of the Biden for President Campaign and Former Deputy Counsel and Deputy Assistant to President Barack Obama.

More information and registration here.

Hi! So I recently cancelled the June LSAT Flex option in exchange for a coupon. I was wondering how do you access the coupon? Is it going to be visible in my account? Or is it something that would be automatically applied when I register for the next test? I scanned my account and there is no coupon visible. The prior 'registrations' have been removed however, so they have modified the account. I had emailed LSAC requesting for the cancellation and they replied saying that they had processed it. But they did not respond to how I could access the coupons. In the email, they basically said that a coupon had been 'added to your account' but no further information was given.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Why are the target times (LG) under the video explanations often different from the target time listed in the "timing" column in the results panel? It seems like the latter are almost always a little longer. I have been going off the ones under the videos, but it is very difficult. Which do you reference?

Thanks

Hey! I am just starting in my LSAT journey and I am looking for someone to study with and become accountability partners. I am aiming for the August 2020 test. My diagnostic score is a 157. I am flexible with study times, and I am usually always available and easy to reach. I need someone willing to commit. We can use zoom, google meets, Face time, and call/text. Anything that could get us to that target scores is okay with me! Oh, I'm in EST.

Hey guys just wanted to impart some wisdom. Sufficient Assumptions questions are easy if you follow this 4 step process.

1.Identify Conclusion/Understand it

Identify Premise/Understand it

Isolate the Conclusion(Important)

Anticipate a Trigger that would force the the conclusion to happen

Instead of thinking about SA questions like you need to fill in the blank. Think of them like a handgun. All you need to do is pull the trigger. All SA is a pull of the Trigger/or a push of the roller coaster button. Once you start to think like this they become so easy.

DM me with any questions if this helped

Hi all, for those who are veterans I got some good news from a UGA assistant dean of admissions yesterday (5/14/2020). He said that for veterans who are admitted all of them received at least some additional funds for going to UGA. Right now the GI Bill covers full tuition at UGA Law (currently tuition is about $19k a year), then many schools offer the Yellow Ribbon scholarship for veterans on top of that. I'm not sure if the dean of admissions I spoke with was referring exclusively to the YR scholarship but he did say every veteran that was accepted at UGA gets money in the pocket.

Hope this is helpful!

Hi Guys,

So you know how J.Y. and other tutors stress the importance of doing preptests in a way that mimics the test conditions for the day of the actual test. In my case, I have to travel (actually board a plane) to take the test at a testing site that I have never been to. Has anyone had to do the same? How does one prepare for that in the sense of reducing test day anxiety, etc.?

Does anybody have any tips for how to determine when to use conditional statements or rely on intuition to answer sufficient assumption questions? Or should we always be mapping out the stimulus using lawgic? I’m having trouble using this method efficiently, and would appreciate any advice you might have! Thank you in advance!

Hey guys! I see a lot of people mentioning how the lSAC gpa is different from the cgpa! Some people have even mentioned the difference. How can I see the difference for mine. My cgpa IS A 3.9 and I already submitted it to LSAC, but I don't see anything about the gpa changing. Can someone please tell me how to figure it out. Thanks!

Does anyone know if the practice tests on 7sage are exactly the same in terms of the different colors of highlighting, underlining; etc. For reading comp, i find it easier to map out the where, what term shifts. So if anyone could give input on this would be greatly appreciated. :)

Lsac gave us instructions for flex. My start time is 120 does that mean i start validation process at 120 or before so they try to start my test at 120?

Also how long do yall think the verification process will take?

Hey everyone! Curious as to what your thoughts on the following question:

Do ALL necessary assumptions strengthen an argument? (NA -> Strengthen)

Obviously, necessary assumption prevent your argument from collapsing but does this strengthen an argument per se? To use J.Y.'s example - I play basketball, therefore, I am the best Basketball player in the world - for all intents and purposes there are an infinite amount of necessary assumptions (I am alive, I have two hands and two feet, I can dribble, I actually inhabit THIS world, etc.) does patching up one of those holes necessarily strengthen the argument?

I understand that to qualify as strengthening the additional support can be VERY subtle does precluding the death of the argument so to speak necessarily entail additional support?

Interesting to contemplate but if you believe that all necessary assumptions questions strengthen an argument then contra-positively you must accept that if something doesn't strengthen the argument then it cannot be a necessary assumption (/Strengthen -> /NA)

However, I feel as if there are plenty of statements that do not strengthen but are still necessary (/Strengthen (-S-) NA). To fall back on J.Y's example, I inhabit this world; I feel as if this does not strengthen the argument per se but obviously certainly necessary.

What prompted this post was [SPOILER ALERT FOR PT75] question number fifteen on the first logical reasoning section; the answer choice is practically a necessary assumption.

What are your thoughts?
