Hi friends,

I'm Sonya and I have taken the LSAT before (twice lol). I am looking to take the exam once more in November and have been struggling with motivation to study and staying motivated every single day. Burnout it real. Looking for someone or a few people to join a study group/ hold each other accountable for the November exam.

Let me know if anyone is interested! (3(/p)

Thanks,

Sonya

Hello!

I took the June LSAT flex and scored in the low 160's. I'm hoping to get a 167 or 168 in the October LSAT. Since I'm retaking, I want to try something a little different in my study plan, and I'm thinking a study group would be helpful!

I'm currently in Texas (central time). Let me know if you're interested and how we should start (Facebook, Zoom etc.)!

Ok, so I’ve just learned that the FLEX is only 3 parts (yay if you don’t have a lot of endurance). So far I’ve been taking full-length PT, expecting a standard LSAT. Now that it’s only 3 parts should I be taking full-length PT or 3-part ones? My original plan was to take 2 timed sections every day (varying it up with LR, RC and AL) so that I could work on my times and the actual skills in each question. Now I’m just wondering if I should be taking 3 timed sections every day (basically an LSAT flex) every day so that I get a better feel for time for the actual test while practising skills. For context, I’ve been taking Khan Academy (I ran out of problem sets there) for 2-ish months in a very lax schedule, but now I need to buckle down as I’m taking the August LSAT. What do you guys think?

Hey everyone

A few questions regarding problem sets.

Should I do all the problem sets under timed conditions or should I start of without any restrictions?

Should I be worried if I am not improving as I go through the problem sets? Is the main purpose of a problem set to familiarize myself with the questions and strategy or to perfect the subject matter. Over all the problem sets in a section I am averaging around 4/5 with 4.5/5 BR.

Thanks for the help.

Hi, I was just wondering if my letters of recommendations from 2017 (the year I graduated from undergrad) would not be as effective since it was from almost 4 years ago? I received these recommendations from my professors before I graduated and I thought I would be applying to law school then but things happened and now I'm studying for the lsat and planning on the January LSAT test and hoping to apply then.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Hi Everyone!

I am currently working on my application materials for the upcoming cycle and I would like to know your opinion. How many jobs should you list on your resume if you had multiple jobs in undergrad and after college? Also, how do you add additional sections and shrink the resume down to two pages? I am using the template that is provided by the admissions course but I am still having trouble with what to include.

Long story short--took the LSAT in Nov. 2019 and had a disastrous experience. I had been studying for about 8 months, and PT-ing in the 165+ area.

Had a 4 hour delay and then was given a faulty tablet. I was allowed to take the Dec. 2019 retake offered, but I was really thrown by the whole experience and I think it really affected by mindset. I got a 160, and my applications were late--I sent them in late Jan. Got a good chunk of acceptances and waitlists but didn't feel like I had realized my potential. Decided to retake/reapply in June, but had a death in the family and didn't get to start studying again until beginning of July.

My achilles heel has been LG, always. I usually hit -4/5 on LR sections and -3 on RC but LG is anywhere from -8/-10. It comes down to timing--I've probably spent dozens and dozens of hours drilling games and I've gotten better but I honestly have terrible spatial visualization skills. Given unlimited time I can get -0 on the games but timing kills me.

I'm feeling a little overwhelmed trying to determine the best path to get ready to retake in August. My work hours were recently cut, so I'm able to study 4-5 hours a day and more on the weekends. Taking in Oct isn't an option, so I'd appreciate how best to optimize my studying from now until Aug. 29---particularly re: LG.

Thank you!!!

Hi everyone, I'll keep this relatively short. My freshman year of college I battled severe anxiety and learned to cope with it. I believe this demonstrates significant growth as a human and I think I could write a BOMB PS about this, but I am afraid to write about a mental illness in a personal statement because

and 2) I know they're not allowed, but I'm afraid they could toss my app in the rejection pile if they see someone who blatantly proclaims to the world that they have anxiety

I'm really at a dilemma here and any advice helps. Thanks!

I'm consistently missing about -2 or -3 on LG. When I go back to do them after I score my PT without looking at the correct answer (only knowing that I got that question wrong), I get them right. I haven't been able to find a pattern in the questions I miss. They are usually unflagged, not-even-hard games or questions. I really want to get to -0 for August. Any advice appreciated!

Hey everyone, I’m unsure as to whether I should write an addendum for withdrawing from a course while in undergrad after the add/drop period resulting in a “W” on my transcript.

The reasoning is because I was enrolled in a Politics of China class and realized that if I completed the course at my home university then I would not be able to transfer over/ take the associated course on my study abroad trip (in China!!!) in the subsequent semester.

When I withdrew my advisor mentioned that it would be a small black mark on my transcript so I have been somewhat worried about it ever since. I ended up still being a full time student that semester but I’m a little concerned that ad coms would think that I couldn’t handle the course work during a particular semester since I had dropped from ~18 to ~15 even though there are multiple other semesters during which I was enrolled in more than 18 hours.

I was wondering if there was a way to retake a PT and input it into the analytics, or can you only take it once and input it into the analytics? The Core Curriculm is asking I take the 2007 PT, but I've already done it on Khan Academy.

Can someone help me with these questions. I can't get myself to agree with the answers.

1.Commentator: The quality of health care is declining. Medical schools have been graduating fewer people than are needed to replace retiring physicians. Furthermore, on average, a physician now spends only 15 minutes with a patient on the patient’s first visit.

Which one of the following, if true, most weakens the commentator’s argument?

(A) The average length of all patient-physician visits is 20 minutes.

(B) More and more people are seeking physicians, thus increasing the number of patients that physicians treat.

(C) Most patients do not like to spend an inordinate amount of time in physicians’ offices.

(D) Five years ago, the average first patient-physician visit lasted 10 minutes.

(E) Most patients visiting a physician are suffering from ailments that are not life threatening.

2.Peterson, the current world record holder in the women’s 100-meter backstroke, has ranked first in the world for seven years. Her performance in recent competitions was disappointing, but during training she unofficially beat her official world record time. So she can be expected to set a new world record in the 100-meter backstroke during the upcoming world competition.

Which one of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument?

(A) Peterson is widely expected to win the 100-meter backstroke in the next world competition.

(B) Peterson had the flu during a recent competition.

(C) Peterson has also set world records in several

other swimming events.

(D) Peterson is the only active world-class swimmer

in the world to have set a world record in the

100-meter backstroke.

(E) Peterson has in each of the past seven years

swum faster during world competitions than during training for those competitions

Woohooo

What’s the distinct definition of and/or explanation of the assumption in a mistaken reversal. Mistaken Reversals are daunting at times when I’m under pressure, sometimes I pick up on them, sometimes I don’t 🤦🏾‍♀️ 🥴🥴😩😂 I’ve found at times that when comparing the variables A and B in the premises that the follow A and B Variables in the conclusion; I find they are never identical 😩 that’s why I sometimes mistake- mistaken reversal for mismatched concepts instead; because my variables never follow in order for me to confirm the “like terms” were flipped 🥴 also if that is not the case should I always follow the necessary variable in premises and make sure it isn’t flipped to the sufficient in the conclusion ?!? #Help lol am I overthinking it?!?

I keep misinterpreting the question or what the stimulus is really saying/asking for. This leads me to kind of develop my own assumption of what the answer should be or even misinterpret the entire stimulus itself, which leads me to get really easy questions wrong. I don't know if this is because I am not reading carefully or slowly enough... does anybody have this same issue or have any suggestions for me? #help

I am wondering how much others have improved in a month? I am set for the August Flex but am not where I want to be yet although I have been studying since March. Should I start doing bootcamp style? Please lmk!

Here's my situation - I have been out of undergraduate for about 3 years but am fortunate to have incredible relationships with multiple professors particularly in the economic department since I was part of a special program there (did a really great independent study with one, continued to work with and successfully published a paper with another after graduation, and even went back a separate time to speak to current students about why they should be an Econ Major). I think there are probably three professors that could write particularly strong letters on my behalf from this department.

There is also another professor in the Poli Sci department that I had a very strong relationship with my first couple of years while in college (worked with him to present a paper at an academic conference) but not as much during my Junior and Senior years (just happened that I had completed all my Poli Sci classes early and ended up being more involved in the Econ Dept during the latter half of my years) and unlike my relationships with professors in the Economics Dept, I have not kept up with him.

Additionally, I worked for ~2.5 years in a professional environment and think that there are 1-2 people that I worked with in a supervisory role that would also be able/willing to write me a strong letter.

So far, I have decided that I am definitely going to ask two Economics Professors and one letter from my work experience. My question is how I should allocate a 4th letter, if at all? I don't want to overwhelm the application reader with taking on a 4th letter but I know that it would be strong.

Option 1) Additional Academic Letter (from Poli Sci)

Option 2) Additional Academic Letter (from Econ)

Option 3) Additional Professional Experience Letter

Option 4)

No forth letter

I know I'm in a great spot here but just want to make sure that I make the best decision.

I still can't figure out how to use this site and I spend a lot of time just navigating the site which is a complete waste. Why can't I go back to the question to see the answers I chose if I'm watching explanation videos? And no, the links to the videos on how to use the site didn't help. Please advise

When practicing the memory method, J.Y. advocates writing 1-5 word "low res" summaries for each paragraph on RC. Given that this takes very minimal time, is it recommended to do this on the scratch paper during the real test? Or is it simply an exercise for helping build memory? #help

Hi Everyone! I'm looking to create a group of motivated individuals who would be interesting in drilling LR sections together (hopefully 2 or 3 times a week). I'm not yet at the point of doing full length PT's and wanted to do timed LR sections from PT's 20-50. The idea is to articulate your reasoning to someone and as JY says-either shatter that reasoning or reinforce that reasoning.

If this is something you'd be interested in doing let me know!

I am almost seven years out of school, and am in the military. I'm currently writing a new resume for the first time in years and want to make sure I'm not breaking any unspoken resume rules. Right now it is exactly 2 pages. I'm worried that if I try to shorten it to 1 page I will have to sacrifice a significant amount of my accomplishments. Is it an unwritten rule that it must be 1 page, or can it be 2?

I just finished the CC a week ago and registered for the August LSAT. I have taken timed (and untimed for LG) sections for PT 36 and 37 and averaging about 168. Since I have only one month or so left for the August LSAT, I can't take all PTs listed. Which PTs should I choose to get better prepared? I aimed at 170+ for the August LSAT but I can't finised the LG under timed condition right now. Any other general recommendations would be also helpful!

Hi everyone! I've been practicing for the lsat flex style test by not doing one of the LR sections when doing pt but as a result it is a bit difficult to determine my analytics. Does anyone know if it is possible to convert analytics to reflect that I was just skipping one of the LR sections instead of missing them due to errors that need analysis?

Hey guys! I stumbled on a sample PT for LSAT India, which is separate test for Indian Law schools. The LR is the same so you guys can use it for drilling or timed sections. The RC and LG are slightly different. Its shorter and has 4 Ac's instead of the standard 5 but I'm sure extra prep material can never hurt!

Hi all.

I appreciate anyone who takes the time to help me out with this. It's been weighing me down because I honestly don't know where to turn.

For character and fitness addendums, how specific do you need to get? There are instances that I am going to disclose because I want to stay on the safe side (even though I don't think I was technically cited for anything, honestly I can't fully remember because it was a while ago), but I don't have the specific dates (just general months/years of the incidents). I remember general facts about the situations (how fast I was going in a specific speed limit, the fact that I got in a small car accident a couple years ago in a parking lot, etc.).

Basically, what I'm asking: Do I need to track down a written, formal, in-depth explanation of every potential C&F violation I've ever been involved in in order to sufficiently disclose? I didn't have to go to court for some of the things I'm disclosing but I can't remember if I was cited etc., so do I just give a general disclosure of those instances and include the information that I can recall about the incidences, or should I visit the police station to make sure I have my bases covered and I'm not forgetting something that could jeopardize my future bar application? There are only two times I have ever gone to court, and it was for speeding tickets.
