Hey guys,

So my timed PT's are around 152-155 and I'm BR'ing around 160-161. Currently scheduled for the October test but having second thoughts on it since my goal score is a 160. I'm thinking of going ahead with the October test and probably take it again January 2020. Thoughts?

Thank you

I do not understand the difference between correct answer (A), and answer (D). The terms used in each of the answer choices are the same. I feel like I am missing something because I understand the structure of the argument, but the terms discussed in the video explanations do not make the distinction clear?

Thank you!!

Hey guys! I just bought the Top Tier watch for LSAT. Since LSAT is now digital and it displays the time, will it be useful to prep with the watch or should I rather get used to running time on the screen? I have not developed my time-cutter strategy nor really used the watch. Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I graduated from undergrad in 2018. Since then, I went back community college to get a supplemental associates unrelated to my undergrad degree. That being said, do you think it's ok for me to use a LOR from my professor who didn't instruct me during my undergrad times? I know that LSAC only calculates grades prior to undergrad graduation, so my grades from my associates are irrelevant. However, I still did all of the coursework and was in an academic setting. Note, if i were to use this LOR, it's an additional letter on top of my 2 other letters.

Thank you!

So the last 10 days of my life has been a nightmare. My mom was diagnosed with cancer and I spent the last 6 days in the hospital 24/7. My parents don’t speak English so they rely on me for all communications.

I was planning on taking the LSAT on October. But each day, there’s a new task I need to take care of/ besides getting less than 4 hrs of sleep per night.

I’m super drained but at the same time stressed because I graduated June 2018 and am planning to apply this year. I feel like if I postpone for another year, life will happen and I’m fearful of losing motivation/ not getting there.

My score isn’t one I’m proud of. The latest exam I had around a 158. But with everything going on in my life right now, I have been unable to concentrate or focus. I doubt I could push for a higher one til October.

So, my question is: do you guys think I should apply and hope for the best? Hope that an LSAT score addendum would allow for me to explain my current situation or is it best to delay another year?

I pretty much have everything else such as PS, DS, why statements, transcript, resume ready.

As a side note, I had a full time job during the past year + a part-time job + taking care of my parents here and there.

4 months ago I quit my full time to have more time to study and that’s when I was actually able to improve.

What are the drawbacks/ benefits of each scenario?

Anything you guys think or have experienced with would be greatly appreciated!

For those great scorers in the high 160s, and 170s, did you get there through getting your blind review extremely high? Or eventually being able to close the gap between BR and timed tests? Personally, Im BRing around 170-172, and scoring around 164-165 right now. Not sure where to go from here.

Hi all I am new here and I am hoping someone could give me some advice please!

So I have been studying for the LSAT using Kaplan, power-score and I occasionally used some 7sage videos of off Youtube. I still struggle for some odd reason with N.A and S.A. I understand the difference between the two and when I read the question stem I understand which is N.A and which is S.A but for some odd reason I still struggle to understand what to look for in the answer choices.

Hi everyone,

Just wondering if I can get some opinions on my chances of getting into law school. I've never applied but I have been thinking more about law school the last year or so.

I took the LSAT in Feb 2019 and got a 153. I wanted to take the November one but it's currently full so I'm planning on taking the January 2020 LSAT. I know there are a few schools that will accept January LSAT scores.

I had a lot of difficulties in universities and my cGPA for undergrad was 2.3. I finished with a B.Sc. I did end up going to college for the paralegal program in Ontario and finished with a 4.8 cGPA. Honestly, I felt like I found my calling in paralegal school because I enjoyed law so much. Also, I've been working the last 3.5 years as a legal assistant/paralegal.

My extra curricular activities consist of mostly volunteering at or in affiliation with my local religious organization - working with youth and children, hosting summer camp in various countries abroad, serving meals at a refugee house, and organizing events and serving on the administrative teams.

I can get reference letters from my supervisor/manager and a lawyer I worked under but I don't have any academic references. (I finished school 3.5 years ago and I didn't keep in touch with any professors...)

Do I have a chance in Canada with my current GPA, LSAT score and work/volunteer experience?

What LSAT score should I aim for in January 2020?

Are the academic reference really important?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

I already have 2 academic LORs, and I will be prioritizing those for schools that only allow 2. My academic recommenders have only known me for a relatively short time, but my supervisor has known me for about 6 years and can speak more to my leadership abilities. Is it worth asking him for a letter for schools that allow more than 2? I understand that most schools prefer academic letters, but would it be helpful to have a third letter giving a different perspective than the other 2? Thanks in advance!

I was thinking of taking the test in november however with school I've haven't had enough time to study and have been doing a PT each week with a score on average of 164. I'm applying to canadian schools and my target score is 168 ish. Is January a better options for me? don't know if that'll be too late.

I'm a full time LSAT student from Delaware, who recently finished the core curriculum. Today I took my first PT and scored a149. I am definitely very far from my goal, but whole-heartedly believe that through consistent practice I will get to my goal of a 165. I intend on taking the January 2020 LSAT. I am looking for a study buddy who is willing to blind review with me. I have access to all the PrepTests under the premium package (PT 36-58).Please reach out if you think this would be good fit for you. Thanks in advance!

Hello all,

I've been doing some practice with the older test and stumbled upon a part of the stimulus that I tried to translate into lawgic. The sentence goes as following:

"Yet not until teacher have the power to make decisions in their own classrooms can they enable their students to make their own decisions."

Clearly the until is a conditional indicator for group 3 (Negate, sufficient). Given that there is a not before, I simply negated the not translating it into: Teachers who have power to make decisions -> Enable students to make their own decisions

However, after checking the answers and explanation it seems I made the translation wrong and the correct translation would have the sufficient and necessary conditions flipped.

What is it that I'm doing wrong here? Seems like I'm missing something but can't quite point it out.

(The question is from Dec 1992: Sec 2 Q23 for those who are interested)

Hi everyone,

So as we all know, the October LSAT is 4ish weeks away...I found 7Sage in August and have studied the crap out of it (in the Starter addition) since. I work full time, with 12 hour days one day, 7 hour days the next, so my study schedule isn't as consistent as I'd like it to be. I was starting to score high 150's, but I've gone back down to mid-150's with BR in the low 160's. Do I have enough time to study for my target score of mid to high 160's? Should I withdraw and try for the November or December LSAT? I'm trying to get in this cycle, only having just picked up studying in May. Any advice would help!

I have completed my LR curriculum and while I feel fairly more prepared and knowledgeable, I for sure have not "mastered" it yet.

Would you all recommend going through this major part of the CC again, or should I continue with the curriculum and dive into LG (and then LR) and then begin the mastering once all is complete?

Thanks!
