Hi everyone, I recently graduated in May 2020 and have been unemployed till early Oct 2020. I was having trouble finding a job due to the pandemic. During this time, I mainly studied for the LSAT and took care of my 9 year brother since schools are closed now. How would I address this gap (May-Oct) on my resume? Should I have a footnote somewhere or it is not necessary to address? I assume most people would assume the gap is due to the pandemic anyway. Any advice is appreciated, thanks!

Anybody screw up this cycle and looking to test next year? Lookin to start a study group! Hey every1, message me! Lets coordinate this so, we can all improve our scores! I was thinking we could possibly all go over our drilling and PTs together, and help each other where we're weak. Personally I'm more of a team person and feel that having a strong supportive group can help with this grueling process.

Hello!

I am currently signed up for the January flex and am looking for around 1-3 study partners that are interested in keeping each other accountable with practice tests/sections and having weekly zoom meetings where we review said practice tests/sections. I've been studying for the LSAT for around 3 months now and have a pretty solid foundation, but I still struggle with LR and RC in particular (missing roughly 6 to 7 questions on average for each section). I'm averaging -1/-3 on LG. I've created a study plan leading up to the January flex, and it pretty much consists of doing 3-4 individual sections and 1 full test per week with an option to increase practice tests per week as we get closer to the January test.

If this interests you, I'd love to chat over zoom or just speak on the phone so we can discuss whether our goals align and decide if we'd be compatible study partners. I know 1-3 people seems like a pretty exclusive number, but exclusivity is in no way my intention for this group...I just personally feel that I work much better in a setting with fewer people. Also, I'm studying FULL TIME for this LSAT and would prefer to work with people who are doing the same. My goal is for this to be a pretty serious study group, so if you feel that you may not be able to keep up with the study plan outline that I've mentioned, this may not be the right group for you. In addition, my goal for the zoom meetings is for the group members to teach each other certain questions or topics that the others are struggling with; I'm personally a strong believer in the idea that teaching others helps cement your own mastery of question types or topics you're particularly good at.

Also, considering that this final push towards the January LSAT will be mentally straining on all of us, I'm looking for people who are willing to make this a more enjoyable experience for the others in the group. This means anything from sharing any good tv/movie recommendations, to giving each other tips on physical and mental health exercises that help make this study process a little more bearable. This can also mean just chatting over zoom about random stuff thats been particularly bothersome or difficult in our day to day lives. I firmly believe that having a small community of people who can relate to you makes whatever you're going through a little bit easier!

I know this may not be for everyone, but if you're looking to take a deep dive into the LSAT for the next 2-ish months and finally conquer this test once and for all, send me a personal message and we can set up a time to meet over zoom/the phone and discuss our goals and ambitions . Thanks for taking the time to read this, wishing all of you luck in your study endeavors!!

I have a brand new Mac Air 2020 that I’m planning to use for exam day, bc the other computers in my house are 2015 and older and don’t run as fast.

I saw somewhere that someone had issues with their new Mac which makes me a bit nervous. Just wanted to see what past test takers took their exams on. Or any general tips for a smooth testing day.

Hi! I am taking the January test and studying full-time. I live in EST time and have been studying since July and get around 165 and I am reaching for the 170. I am looking for a study buddy that is serious about studying everyday and doing PTS. Thank you :)

Can you sign up for proctor u and schedule the flex exam from a phone or does it have to be on a computer?

When a passage says "usually," is this a version of "most"? For example, "John usually goes to the store." Is this essentially saying that "Most of the time, John goes to the store"? I'm confused about how one approaches this as a conditional.

Anyone else trying to come to terms with how to stay calm and patient while we to see how all of the pieces of the puzzle will come together? Want to tell jokes and make each other feel good for coming this far? I'd be happy to start a small group of people who want to just compare notes and share a toast when anyone gets any good news. Anything to keep me from obsessively checking my statuses. I love this community. Let me know.

Hey everyone! I saw that a few people were having issues signing up so I thought I'd share what I did to sign up.

First I went to the ProctorU website. I selected Log-in even though I did not have an account. Then I put as my username the email associated with my LSAC account. After this I hit forgot password. Then I put the same email down and requested a password change. After this I checked my email and changed my password (this whole time I did not have an account). I then logged in with the new password and LSAC email and answered a few questions about my address. Now click My Sessions on the top banner and your scheduled LSAT should be there. Click on it and now you can select a time and date for your test with extra options located on the left side of the screen. Good luck everyone!

Hi all!

I’m taking the Jan 2021 FLEX. I’ve completed the core curriculum and have now moved on to taking PTs. I’m curious to know if others who are signed up for FLEX are taking full PrepTest or simulating the FLEX with only three sections? It feels like by taking FLEX PTs, I’m leaving valuable resources on the table (practice questions). But I also, want to make make sure my practice is as close to test day as possible. Suggestions?

Hey there folks, I'll be taking the November flex on my tiny desk in a dark corner. Does anyone know if I'm allowed to have a lamp on the desk, or just my PC, paper, pencils etc..?

Since I’m going into law school directly after undergrad, I would assume I send my transcripts to LSAC after my junior year. So if that’s the case, does that mean my senior year won’t affect what gets seen by law schools during the admission process?

Hi everyone! I don’t really understand if we’re supposed to sign up for the LSAT writing using the ProctorU link that LSAC just sent us... or how am I supposed to start my LSAT Writing tomorrow?

I have been reading through some of the previous posts regarding this question, and they have really helped me understand the stimulus and why it is wrong. Basically, the author gave us the following premise:

S= support new tax plan

E= chance of being elected

UE= understand economics

P1: S----> /E

P2: UE----> /S

C: E-----> UE

In order for us to get to the author's conclusion (E----- >UE) we should've had the following as our premise:

E-----> /S -----> UE

Valid Argument #3- A--> B--->C

If we had been given this premise, we would have been able to validly get to the author's conclusion.

The author's error is that he is treating UE -----> /S as if it were the same as /S ------> UE. To put it in more simple terms, the author's flaw was a mistaken reversal error (in premise two).

However, I am really confused when it comes to the answer choices. I don't see how answer choice "D" describes the error that has been identified. I have found that for the harder flaw questions, LSAT writers tend to write the answer choices in very convoluted/ abstract manner. It has really been a struggle for me to get past this. Would greatly appreciate someone's help.

I am missing something on this game. Help please.

If I have a statement: A ---> C

and a second statement: B ---->C

is it fair to say A + B ----> C?

Hey Guys - ridiculous observation, but I just realized that i've been practicing with 7Sage for three months and never accessed the official LSAT tests utilizing their typefont/format. Wondering if this will throw me off my game come test day...

Hey Everyone!

I'm Maria and I am new to 7sage! I am really excited to start my law school journey. Unfortunately, I have been trying to upgrade the course and it wont let me. I tried four different cards and made sure the cards had sufficient funds which they did but the payment still failed. Did anyone else have this issue? I logged out and back in to try again and still no luck. Is this an website issue? Help please!

Thanks

Looking for Advice/Tips on Current Situation -

I have a 180,000 scholarship offer from Berkeley from last year’s cycle 19/20. Currently deferred for one year. I was also waitlisted at Harvard Law, but never submitted an LOCI and then got dropped. Also had offers from Cornell and Georgetown. Pretty much waitlisted at every other law school. Applied in Jan of 2020 For cycle 19/20.

My stats are 4.2 GPA, 169 LSAT. I’m 6+ years out though the LSAT score is more recent. Also completing a masters in social policy at LSE. Grades won’t be available till next year unfortunately.

Would it be worth it to reapply to Harvard law?

I‘m thinking I may have a decent shot If I apply early enough?

I’ve got no time rn to retake LSATs, maybe Jan. I know I am a splitter for HYS.

Career goal wise Harvard Law is better for me but I also hear they don’t give much scholarships.

Has anyone also applied while holding an offer? Would I have to reapply to Berkeley?

I guess there are no guarantees, so should I apply to more schools just in casE?

Thanks everyone!

Why is the strategy to write an individual rule then immediately check that against the acceptable situations. Does this have a strategic benefit to writing all the rules, then evaluating the acceptable situations. I am inclined to think the latter takes less time, but I was curious if someone has thoughts on this?

Hi everyone - I'm scheduled to take the November LSAT but my scores just have not been what I want. I need at least low-170s as my GPA is low, and I'm currently averaging mid-to-high 160s raw and 170s BR. Please help me decide! Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Here are my pros and cons.

Reasons to NOT take test in Nov:

-I'm not applying this cycle so I'm not in a rush to take the test

-Given that my low GPA and my work history isn't something I can work on, the LSAT (and the personal statement) is the only thing I have control over

-I'm fully committed to studying and really believe I can get the score I want

Reasons to take test in Nov:

-It's good to have test-day experience, there's value in having gone through that

-Score preview -- I can always cancel this score

-I signed up for the test, it's always good to follow through on commitments

-A low score isn't the end of the world

Hi! I'm a undergrad senior that is currently enrolled in a 5 year B.S./M.A. program at my university. During my senior year I have taken undergrad and graduate level courses. I have no intention in completing the program if I get admitted to a Law School. Will law schools turn away my application, for the Fall 2021 cycle, when they see that I have an expected grad school graduation date for May 2022? Any suggestions for who I can reach out to for a concrete answer?

Hi! So i'm having a tough time deciding whether or not to ED UCLA and would love some input. CAS GPA is 3.51 and LSAT flex (july) is 175, so I know I'm a splitter but I've been working at a law firm for what would be two years so I'm hoping that helps? I honestly really love almost everything about UCLA and if I applied ED it would be to a program that would guarantee me full tuition scholarship if accepted, which is a big deal for me. I guess I'm wondering if not going to the T14 is worth it? I've seen a lot online about how its a lot harder to work in big law if you don't go to a t14 and it seems like ranking plays a huge role in future career opportunities. I'm not sure I'd even get into a t14 cause my gpa is way below the 25% but I want to know if its worth committing without even finding out?

I saw it'll be up on here eventually... but does anyone have any data or know of a company thats posted it? I suppose one could just figure it out with repeated takes and increasing wrong answer... I just wanted to see how many I missed on the actual take without going through all that.

I got waitlisted at my top school. My LSAT falls below the median but my GPA is over the 75th percentile... what should I do? I would really love to go here, but I also have other options as well.
