So I'm taking the November LSAT and my score had slowly been increasing with each PT and I was scoring in the low 160s and starting to climb even higher, I took a PT yesterday and out of nowhere I got a 154, I bombed the LR and RC hard and with the test so close I'm kinda freaking out, idk if I should cancel my test or just ignore this PT or what. Any advice?

I have to share this, I’ve been back and forth with this LSAT for a long time. I just need to share that I have siblings that are lawyers and I can tell you that they have no time for living. I’ve become more aware of it lately. I’d highly recommend that everyone considering becoming a lawyer really look into the profession and the time that it will take from your life. I have decided today after really noticing and seeing the time, effort, dedication, and family sacrifice it takes to be a successful attorney that it’s not the profession for me. It just “clicked” today. You have to know what your getting yourself into. Thanks for reading, just my two cents.

Hey fellow LSATers,

I'm scheduled to take the test in January, and started studying the first week of October. I average about 2 hours during the weekdays and 8 total on the weekends (~20hrs per week). It's a schedule I've been able to stick to really well.

Its tough to balance studying and working full-time. Has anyone done something similar/have any tips? At this point I have kind of accepted I'll have to re-take the test again with more rigorous studying, but I want to give the January one my best possible.

Appreciate any help!

Command F

I have read that you are able to use command F on the exam. First, is this true. And second, does it help, or have they designed questions around this on the newer flex tests (if you have taken one)? #help

I see that LSAC has put up the dates that the November LSAT will be administered with them being

I was wondering if they sent out an email for people to register for that specific date. Im registered for the LSAT however I haven't received any information since I registered.

I separated from the Air Force about three years ago prior to the birth of my third child. Since then, I have been a full time student and stay-at-home-mom. Should I address this in a resume addendum? There will be an almost four-year gap in my work history at the time of my application, and though I was a student during this time, should I let them know why I did not work or volunteer much from early 2018 to early 2021? To add an addendum, or not to add an addendum? That is the question.

Hello everyone!

I hope prepping for your admission essays are going well. I have come across an essay in which I need to answer a hypothetical scenario regarding plagiarism in a colleague. I was wondering if anyone has any tips on how to tackle these.

Thank you!

Hi!

So I applied to my top school yesterday (T7-T11) and felt pretty good about my app even though my lsat is low for them. Today I got approved for accommodations on a retake, and I am just kicking myself. Scores come out Nov 24. Is there any chance they won’t get to my app before the new score?

Could someone please explain to me the difference between the regular PT's and use the flex simulation.

understand it is shorter but just wondering how things are cut out etc. Are most people just using the regular versions of PT'ing instead of Flex simulation?

Thanks in advance!

Any suggestions on how to get better at LR? I struggle with NA and Flaw a lot, but the whole section in general is tough for me. Luckily my lsat is now a Flex, so I have some hope, but my avg is around 11-13/25. Thank you in advance!!

How do I submit my GRE score? In multiple apps I have seen a box to click that I took the test, but I don't know how to actually submit the score. I'd prefer not to pay the ETS score reports if I don't need to. I have an LSAT score that I'm submitting also. I just don't want to break any rules.

I honestly couldn't believe it. A few things I learned from that one RC section alone:

I flagged ten questions. I tend to overflag, which makes me anxious during the test. Any flagging shows that you didn't fully understand the question/passage. Ever single question that I flagged, I chose the right answer the first time, but I went back to those questions multiple times, changing my right answer to wrong then back to right for a few of the questions. Going with your gut instinct is important--I wasted time going back to each of those flagged right answers and mulling them over for too long. (The one question I got wrong was one that I didn't flag...)

I didn't write anything down during the test, but I did highlight the structure words of each passage (the words that give you directions, such as "but" and "however"). I struggle with the structure questions, and this helped tremendously. I also highlighted the main point words of each passage (no more than three words per line so that I can quickly glance them over after I've read the passage to memorize the gist of each paragraph). Highlighting ridiculous words like "recently" (especially when it comes to describing data/research) is actually important because MP questions tend to focus on descriptive words like that, and you can eliminate ACs that don't align with such a timeframe (e.g., an answer choice that talks about "traditional" studies when the passage is actually talking about "recent" studies instead). I've noticed that such descriptions largely show up once (usually in the first paragraph), and the word doesn't show up at all, so I tend to forget the passage is about recent research by the time I get to the first question.

I tend to underperform on RC during the real test. I'm hoping this -1 gives me a boost of confidence, especially when I overflag a section.
