Hi everyone, I'm consistently getting hammered on flaw questions and though I've been trying to drill them for the past week, I'm not seeing much improvement. Any improvement strategies or advice you have would be really helpful.

I have daydreams of being some kind of a surgeon/lawyer, but am unsure how feasible such a career would be. Has anyone read a case study of someone who has done both? Or is anyone actively pursuing a joint MD/JD, especially with interests in pursuing a career in medicine outside of medical law?

I can only imagine the expenses without tons of scholarships.

Hi all,

Anyone know if the LSAT-India PTs are similar in flavor, level of difficulty, etc., to the US-based LSAC PTs? Please humor my ignorance. I know nothing about these. All thoughts are welcome.

For anyone else interested, LSAT-India PTs 1-6 are available for free here: https://www.reddit.com/r/LSATprep/comments/agimp6/links_to_7_free_pdfs_of_real_official_lsat/

Everything in my application is on track to be ready in the next couple of weeks, except for obviously my LSAT, which I won't have the score for until I assume early Feb...

I'm applying in Feb with (most likely) above median stats, and possibly above 75th at some of the T14, buuut I realize it's late. Am I going to face imminent rejection? Is it cool to shoot my shot out here? Thanks guys!

Why can’t B be correct? The stimulus just says toxic levels, then collapse, suggesting toxic levels are what caused the collapse, but it could just be a coincidence. Something else unrelated to the toxic levels is the cause of collapse (aka would have collapsed sooner or later even without use of irrigation). And so if we expose this gap, can’t we say well if it’s not the irrigation that caused the collapse how can we say irrigation would cause collapse in modern society?

I have had a problem set I compiled disappear for the third time today after making one ready to go for this morning. Super frustrating, because I took a while to carefully select question topics and difficulties. Is there any way to get it back? Also is there a way to sort problem sets by new?

Can writing the optional essays improve my chances in getting accepted? Some of the law schools I'm applying to I have the borderline gpa and I’m still waiting for my October lsat score.

I apologize to add to the frantic posts that begin as it nears the exam.

But I am taking my first actual test on the 25th, and I am consistently getting -19 with it pretty evenly spread on every PT I've taken since I finished the CC.

I am drilling every LG every day and hoping to get it down to -1/0 before the exam, but even with slight improvements on each test in LG, I go down in LR/RC.

Obviously cannot predict the future, but, does anyone have any tips 2 weeks out? Or am I better off relaxing(/accepting) at this point given the short amount of time?

Thank you in advance.

I have 1 official score from 2017 (should not have even bothered with the test)

and I have 1 cancel from the Jan 2018 exam. I cancelled after feeling like I bombed the test. Does this second attempt count as a "take"

I'm scheduled to take the exam in 2 weeks, which would be my third attempt, but only my second official score. I'm worried because I'm open to taking the January 2020 test in the event that I do not reach my goal score in November, and I don't want too many "attempts" to ruin my chances of getting into law school. Any thoughts?

Is anyone else unable to see the total time elapsed on a LG? Its showing the time per problem but usually there's an option where if you click on one of the timed questions you can see how much time the game setup and all the questions took. #help

Hi everyone! So JY in his LG videos does the general questions first but how can we do that in digital now? Do you all recommend skipping ahead in questions one by one for each game and seeing what are the general questions and answer them first?

Thank you!

OK this one is truly doing my head in...I original selected B but flagged it, and when reviewing I changed to C. Correct answer, tho is D and I have NO IDEA WHY. I'm generally kind of bad at the disagreement questions, but TBH I felt pretty good about C and cannot for the life of me understand why D is a better answer than C. Help!

I flagged this one but on blind review stuck with my answer of B...I can understand why the correct answer is A, but still don't see why B CAN'T be right? Has anyone got their arms around this one?

Does any kind soul have notes from last night's tutoring session on strategies? I was only able to listen to the first thirty minutes :((

Hi Everyone, so I have been studying for quite a while now (7/8 months). And I have gotten my scores to about, LG: -1 to -3, LR: around -8 to -11 collectively. But my RC is so inconsistent it ranges anywhere from -12 to -6, it's definitely my weakest section. I am currently PTing in the 161-163 range and my goal score is 165/166. I usually end up guessing on a couple questions because of timing issues (1 to 2 LR Q's, 1 to 2 LG Q's, and 2 to 4 RC Q's).

With all things considering, delaying is not an option for me. I would really appreciate if anyone has any tips or advice to see a final push in the last two weeks? Anything would help, I am feeling a bit discouraged as I have been stagnant in the low 160s for the last 3 to 4 weeks. I really appreciate any input, thanks.

Since people write different kinds of addenda, in the header should I specify mine is an undergrad performance addendum or simply keep the right header "Addendum [page #]" ? Thanks in advance.

Although all contemporary advertising tried to persuade...only a small portion

I don't understand why E is right and C is wrong. Sufficient condition of being a good manager is failed in C so some must indeed B good managers on the basis of the premises. Is it not parallel because of that one extra step of failing sufficient?

40% chose C as the right answer and only 5% more percent got it right with E, yet I can't find a discussion of this difficult question anywhere.

None

Hey everyone,

I’m freaking out insanely because I am new to this and because I registered for the January 2020 exam today (it literally just opened up a few days ago). Anyways the city I live in only has one test center and it says unavailable. The other one nearest to my city which is about 1hr and 30 mins away is also unavailable. Anyways so I just registered and I guess I am wait-listed.

I’m freaking out because I am unable to travel to the test center that is outside of city if it opens up (don’t have a car, don’t have anyone to take me and they just cut the bus routes that go outside the city). Basically I can ONLY write the test in the center located in my city but I’m so scared that I won’t get a seat and I’m freaking out even more because I have already applied to schools and January is the last acceptable exam they take.

Advice??? Literately can’t calm down

Hey guys, I’ve recently restarted to study for the test and noticed that there has been a number of changes. I’m planning to take the international version of the test in June and I think I would find it useful to have a pen during the game section, mainly in order to have certain fixed variables written in ink and change others as the need may be by using an eraser and rewriting with a pencil. While pens are given to the test takers of the digital version, so far I haven’t seen any explicit statement by the LSAC permitting test takers of the pencil-and-paper version to bring their own pen. I think this difference between the two groups of test takers is an unfair one which can easily be overcome without cost or undue problems, and I’ve been hoping to see some changes in this regard. Are any international test takers or takers of the paper version of the test willing to formally ask LSAC for permission or would I have to wait until I register for the test next year (in May or so) to see this change in policy? I was just wondering if anyone else had a similar wish and was willing to do something about it. Thanks and good luck!

BTW, I really appreciate the free logic games videos J.Y. Ping!

How much more concerned should a 50-year-old be about the amount of debt accumulated? Is it worth attending a top-tier school with $300K of debt for an expectation of higher pay? Can a 54-year-old grad expect to net a $190K salary?

For example, major, GPA, rank?

Schools have our transcripts anyway. And I believe I was told by one law school admissions office that it didn't matter to them. But do any schools penalize you for not filling this section out in full? I don't have my transcripts in front of me and don't remember my GPA or have any clue as to my rank in my class.

How early do you need to arrive at the testing centre for the 12:30pm writing on November 25th? Like is an hour too early or not enough?

I was watching JY's explanation of Game 4 regarding the recycling centers, and I have a question. Is it true that not all of the materials have to be recycled by at least one of the plants? I ask this because that must be the reason I got question 22 wrong. If N is the right answer (B), then that means that none of the centers recycles wood. Can someone let me know if that is true? If so, I made a bad assumption in the beginning of the game. Thanks!

I took it in 2016 when I thought I'd be going to a different graduate program; and I took the LSAT earlier this year. I can't figure out whether submitting my GRE score is mandatory. Even if it's not, should I submit it if I did well?

This is for UChicago.
