Hi everyone — I'm in the process of finalizing my law school resume and have two questions I'd love input on.

Community College: I completed a pathway program at a community college where I earned both an Associate's in General Studies and an Associate's in Science before transferring to my undergraduate institution. I've seen conflicting advice on whether to include it — some say it shows your full academic journey while others say it's unnecessary once you've completed a bachelor's degree. Do law schools expect to see it, or is it safe to leave off? I'm also wondering if the pathway program context changes anything.

MPH Practicum: I completed an MPH and my resume currently includes my practicum experience. Since the practicum was a required component of the degree rather than independent work, I'm inclined to remove it to keep the resume focused. Has anyone navigated this — does removing it look like a gap, or does the MPH degree itself speak for the experience?

Would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has faced similar decisions or has insight from the admissions side. Thanks in advance!

Hi guys, my name is Tania. I've been studying for the LSAT since the start of this year. I am registered to take the August LSAT and am now looking to start or join a study group, preferably in person. I am located in the IE area (CA). I want to make this last month of studying fun and something I look forward to.

Hello all! I am consistently getting about sixteen questions correct on logical reasoning sections. I typically get two to three wrong within the first 15/16 questions but then I tank in the last ten. I feel like I am not improving on those harder questions and I haven't been able to identify why that is.

I am currently doing timed sections and untimed drilling. My accuracy is usually anywhere from 70-75 percent on the questions that I get to and I on average score a 15/16. However, I usually don't get to about the last five.

If anyone wants to share any advice or have any study tips that significantly helped them I'm more than open to hearing them. Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks & happy studying to everyone!

Edit: I tried to implement everyone's suggestions in a timed LR section (mostly skipping questions that were eating up my time and going back to them) and was able to get to all of the questions. I also scored a 17/25 and received a 17/25 for my accuracy as well. Thank you everyone!

So, I just took the June lsat and did atrocious. I got a 152. I had been scoring in the high 150's and even got a 160 once. I've been studying more, because I am taking the August LSAT. AND IT IS NOT GOOD. I keep hitting my original diagnostic of a 151. I think what frustrates me the most is that I have a very good application besides the LSAT and I can not seem to crack this test. I started going back through what I struggle through the most, and have been reviewing like crazy but if anyone has any advice or has been in this position it would be greatly appreciated. I feel like I have "hit a wall". (I will be applying this upcoming application cycle and I really only want a 157 or above).

Every time I take a section my score ranges and my types range and depending on how i take it (starting from difficult to easy or easy to difficult) changes where my most wring answers are too any tips?

Hey guys I'm spiraling slightly lol. I'm 27 (which by no means is old i know). Studying to take the LSAT in September but am planning to be flexible because I am aiming for a pretty high score given my lower-than-median GPA in college. I've also been working for 4 years since I graduated college. I feel like I'm feeling some pressure to apply to law school sooner rather than later because of the age factor (I know this might be irrational). Is that something law schools will take into account? For additional context, I'd definitely like to go to a T20 school but I know I need the test score to get there so I want to give the LSAT my best shot and not rush the process (even if that means going past September). Any thoughts would be appreciated, I just feel like I don't have anyone to talk to about this who fully understands what goes into taking the LSAT and then putting together a good law school application.

Please add your tips on improving on LR, my priority questions according to analytics are PHen Hyp, Conditional Reasoning and MSS. I plan on taking the exam in October and really want a goal score of late 160s to 170s. I do a review and WAJ of every question I get wrong and feel that I understand the why I got it correct but sometimes when I try the reinforcement drills, I get them wrong again.

I have gone through the logic of causation module and various materials on conditional reasoning. Is this goal score attainable and any tips on improving?

Thank you!

Will there be any office hours this week and in the following weeks? I did not see any in the upcoming events

Hello! I've been deep in LSAT prep myself and ended up creating a Discord serve because I wanted to create community of individuals in to work together while getting through this heinous exam.

What's actually in there:

• Channels for drill-sharing, resources, timing-and-pacing, and advice

• Voice channels for daily study sessions, logical reasoning, reading comp, and PT run-throughs — plus a body-doubling room if you just want quiet company while you grind

• We also hold daily study session everyday from 3:45-5:00PM PDT and will be adding a morning session as well.

We check in on PTs, share what's working, and actually talk through why an answer is right instead of just confirming letters. Join if you feel lonely in your prep and would like to study in a community and get feedback on studying for the LSAT! I hope to see you there!

The link is attached below but if you have any questions feel free to DM me!

Hello everyone! I am just about finished with the LR section of the CC and am wanting to know if its a good decision to begin incorporating full section drills into my weekly study to reinforce everything I have learned up to this point? Please let me know as I would love to hear what you all have done or are doing!

The low-res summary helps a ton, but boy, is it hard to do during practice sections. Does anyone have any tips? I find talking out loud is helpful, but I know I won't be able to do that during the actual test.

As the title says - thank you 7Sage :)

Hi everyone!

I'm taking the September LSAT and I'm currently scoring in the low-to-mid 160s. My goal is a 173, and I'm looking for a tutor to help me get there.

I'm looking for someone who offers a personalized approach based on my strengths and weaknesses rather than a one-size-fits-all program.

I also have an LSAC fee waiver, so I'm especially interested in tutors who offer discounted rates or flexible pricing for fee-waiver students.

If you think we'd be a good fit, feel free to reach out with your score, experience, rates, and whether you offer a free consultation.

Thanks!

Hey guys! I have just finished the LR portion in the core curriculum so now I am on the RC section and I am really struggling to eliminate wrong answers in RC. For every RC question I can safely eliminate at least 2 wrong answers but then I really struggle to find reasons to eliminate the last 2. It just seems so much fuzzier then LR where it's very clear that there are 4 wrong answers. Any tips?

Can you have two science passages in a single RC section? Are there any passage subjects that are guaranteed? I know different test resources categorize them differently but it seems like Law, Humanities, Science, and Art are 7Sage's cateogirzations.

I've only been really studying for 4 weeks. My last two tests were 172. This is my first 175+.

For high scorers trying to break through a plateau: I guess my biggest tip here is voice record yourself (with a transcript - apple voice memos also makes one automatically for free if you have an apple device) while taking sections and PTs and try to verbalize every piece of reasoning out loud. If this means you have to take it untimed, do that. Then upload the transcript to an AI (perhaps with the test if it isn't 7sage ai - warning u will run out of 7sage ai if you use it for this a lot) and have it analyze where your reasoning breaks down or when your process stops being applied every time. Mine then gives me a list of reminders I need to read out loud before each test.

Another tip that's worked for me is READ THE STIMULUS FIRST every time! I've gotten to the point where I can predict the question type on at least 1/3 stimuli and successfully prephrase the answer without looking at the question stem or answer choices.

Also MAKE ANKI FLASHCARDS and do them daily! It’s free and it’s not just for med students. There are a lot of things that should just be automatic when you want to enter a flow state and score really high. Identifying question stems, sufficient and necessary indicator words, diagrams, understanding the answer choices, etc, are only a few things in my anki deck. This is a highly personalized thing though - making your own will give you a lot more yield than using someone else’s.

My last tip is join a good study group! I'm in a great one on discord, and we are taking new members!

As the title states, when I try to link 7sage to Lawhub, I get this error. I think this is when I was previously subscribed and apparently 7sage has an inactive classic version. Any help would be appreciated so I can start studying.

Thanks

My Blind reviews are consistently always in the 170s, with my actual PT's being in the 161-164 range (I got a 162 on the June LSAT). I want to retest in September for a 165+ but don't know how to adjust my studying to reflect my Blind Reviews. Any tips would be appreciated!

Hey everyone! I'm looking to see if anyone in the Calgary, AB area (or nearby towns) would be interested in getting together to study once or twice a week.

I work shift work, so staying consistent with studying can be a challenge sometimes. I've found that having other people to study with really helps keep me accountable and motivated.

If you're preparing for the LSAT and are looking for a study buddy or a small study group, send me a message! It'd be great to meet some local people who are working toward the same goal and help keep each other on track.

i have a lot of difficulty with weakening questions. although i know a weaken question means to attack the support between the premise and conclusion, i fear i don't really entirely understand that and that's where i keep picking the wrong answers. i know the correct answer might give an alt explanation, a reversed causation, undermine the data/sample, make use of a broken analogy, or missing information but i usually miss out on those answers and end up picking the wrong one. does anyone have any suggestions or can break down the concept for me in a way i can understand better?? it's so frustrating.

i feel like a chud. i for the life of me cannot understand why i am so awful at taking this test timed. my scored pt will be in the low 160s (and i mean low) then i get to br and suddenly im scoring in the 170s. i feel like i am going insane. i need more time, any advice on how to close this absurd gap?

Has anyone used Spivey Consulting?

I can’t seem to find anything about them that isn’t 6 years old.

I would like to try them out but have no idea if it’s worth it.

Maybe even Anne Ivey Consulting?

Let me know, thanks! :)
