If anyone needs help on LG let me know! I got a 167 on October and I’ve been helping people for about 2 months now!

Hey everyone,

Duke Law's personal statement prompt says to mention your "personal and career ambitions," but in my "Why Law, Why Duke" optional essay, I go into detail about my career ambitions. I don't want to repeat myself (Duke specifically says not to do this), but I also don't want it to seem like I'm not following their directions... Does anyone else who has applied to Duke/gotten accepted have any insight on this? Thanks in advance!!

Hi,

I bombed my October LSAT and I thought I did so well. I planned on submitting my applications as soon as I received that score and was so discouraged when I saw me score. I am going to take the January exam and hope for the best.

I've talked to admissions counselors and they said that it's okay to apply with the January score but I don't know if they're just saying that. Is it better to wait to submit during the next cycle or take a leap of faith and submit as soon as I get my January score?

(I have really great softs and a good GPA (also URM))

For those of you who score above 170, how often do you guess on answers? On my last practice test, I got stuck on an LR question and sunk so much time into it that I had to rush through the remaining questions. I am aiming for 170+, so feel a lot of pressure not to miss questions, but sometimes this mindset seems to make it harder. Is the answer just to accept that I will inevitably get stuck sometimes and be ok with guessing, or does this just mean I need to study more to reach my goal? Looking for insight! Thanks!!

Can I have a snack on my desk during flex? V important question

Is there any chance JY will soon go over some of the questions in the recently released May 2020 flex? For those of us taking the November test, this is a last-minute Hail Mary to understand some of the questions.

I purchased CAS on 10/22/20 and ordered 3 college transcripts via LSAC's online form link on 10/25/20. My CAS status shows that no transcripts have been received or processed. Is this normal? I'm in no rush but worried I messed something up which is why they haven't been received?

Im just curious...do most people foolf proof their LG the next day? I find if i do it the same day, i just mechanical have the answers memorized...

I take the LSAT Flex on Sunday on my laptop. I'm wondering if while you're taking the test, any notifications come in or does the ProctorU software completely block out everything? I see my iMessages come in on my laptop and I'm worried that it will happen during the test. I tried deactivating iMessage already but something is wrong with my iMessage so I can't. Thanks in advance for any help!

I've written a flex before and used my laptop, it was easy to show my environment to the proctor by lifting/moving my laptop entirely. I'm going to be writing this week's flex on a desktop with a built in camera. To experienced flex writers who have used a desktop, how did you show the proctor your environment?

Thanks!

Hey guys! now that I know we are allowed to use control F, i was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to use it most efficiently. I suppose that for RC explicitly states passages it would serve most helpful, but I am just wondering if anyone has found any other use to it?

Was trying to figure out my login for LawHub today and saw the May 2020 exam with the option to take it as a flex. Kinda didn't think anything of it then PowerScore released a podcast episode about it and I realized it was kinda random they released it. I'm lowkey too scared to look at it tho cause my test is on Sunday lol but for anyone else to have at it!!

OMG i'm freaking out. i just checked my proctorU account and it says my test got scheduled for the 7th when I definitely scheduled it for the 10th. ProctorU is telling me I scheduled it for the 7th and the 10th is booked. I'm seriously about to have a panic attack I don't know what to do! Does anyone on here have some advice??

What's up! So I am looking for a study group that can meet close to 4-6 days a week and review one section of LR until the end of November (Also maybe doing LG here and there, but I will probably do it more on my own time as it is my strength). Starting December I will work to take 2-3 Tests a week and review only. January will be the same thing. Specifically for people who are 160ish + My goal for January is a 165+ and im pretty determined so ambitious people only!

P.S.

Sorry if I sound rude in this post, but I have been in a million groupme's and none of them work so I am going to limit it to like 3-5 people.

Data point: Took writing sample on Sunday (11/1) and it was approved today (11/5).

One less thing to worry about before test in 6 days....

hi guys! im taking the test this sunday and ive been testing out my equipment on the proctor u website everyday. the last few days it has been saying that my RAM usage is too high and i searched up so many different ways to bring it down but itll stay good for a few and then when i test it again hours later its back up to around 93-98% usage and the max allowed is 90%. i have a 2018 macbook air.

has anyone taken the exam even if their RAM didnt pass and it went fine? im not sure what to do at this point

thank you

Just wanna share a little hack and see if anyone else is also doing this or maybe it's just me.

I've been super busy and don't have much time practicing lately, but I still want to desensitize my brain with LSAT, so I put on JY's RC passage explanations as podcasts/audiobook and just listen to it when i'm walking or driving lol. And sometimes I even get carried away and super invested in the stories. It's kinda fun actually! I listen to it before bed too, puts me to sleep super fast, melatonin substitution. And I just did a section today, strangely I did better than I thought given that I didn't do any PTs lately. Anyone else?

Greetings people!

I purchased an iPad, and I am wondering what are people's experience with using it for their studies.

I thought it would be nice to work with during my BR and drilling. I am trying not to waste a ton of paper. Since the test day will require me to use paper, I will do my practice test with traditional paper and pencil.

Do you like it? Do you hate it? Pencil and paper all the way?

Thank you. I am just curious!

Hi, I was just curious as to where I was supposed to take the LSAT Writing portion.. online, it says that it is open 8 days prior to my registered test date but I don't see it anywhere on my account! Please help! Thanks.

Hey, if anyone needs help on LG let me know, I’ve been helping students for about two months now. I also scored a 167 on October.

When i finished my essay and got the end where you have the option to close the screen and preview my essay all i saw was a close button. So i could out of the page i didnt have to do anything else or sign anything, but i thought you do have to do that. Is this correct!? On the lsac website it just same exam initiated, not completed or anything. Does that not change until its approved??

Stressing out, if anyone has the answers it would be very much appreciated!!

Hi everyone,

We recently changed the default video player to our new "Modern" video player.

If you would like to change your video player you can do so by going to the Settings tab and selecting one of the three options under "Video Player." See the screenshot below:

Let us know if you have any questions!

So... the correct answer choice is E and I'm really trying to understand why that is the case. Is it because E is basically destroying the evidence which in turn would not be able to support the conclusion? If dogs, while learning how to perform tricks, are being influenced by their trainers, the dogs preference would not matter at all, because the dogs are being trained. The dogs are being taught to stray from their normal or preferred way of using their limbs. For example, if the dogs are being trained to do a trick with their left limb, this would dismantle the conclusion right? The conclusion is saying that dogs almost always prefer to use their right paw. If answer choice E is the case, then the conclusion falls apart.

I hope that all made sense. I'm just really trying to understand where I went wrong because I was stuck between choices B, C, and D.

I'm starting to worry. My average is in the low 150's, which, for me, took a lot of work. My last three practice tests have been sub 150 and I've straight tanked my last two in the low 140's the past two days in a row (PT 83 and PT 84). I'm writing on Nov. 11th. Have I burnt out or is there some hope of getting back to my average or above on test day?

Thank you everyone, the 7 sage community has taken me from feeling hopeless to hopeful!
