I've been drilling PT 35-end, I'm currently almost at 50, but I've struck a string of just not very challenging games, or at most 1 challenging game per section. I eyeballed the difficulty based on 7sage rating, and a lot of these games have 2/5 difficulty with maybe one having 3 or 4/5. This rating is mostly consistent for the most recent PT's (with exception of the awful flower game section).

I guess what I'm asking or what I may inevitably find out is are more recent games either significantly different or harder than those in the 40's or 50's? I almost feel like I'm wasting my time drilling 40's and 50's given that they all seem not very challenging.

When I did PT 66 Game 1, the last rule was confusing:

"J must meet on an earlier day of the week than O."

Why is it not "J _ O" but it is JO, since it said: AN earlier day?

Thank you

"I have a strange question and some unique circumstances, and I would appreciate your discernment. I am an active duty air force officer, and I purchased the premium package last year (planning on testing this past spring and fall).

Here's the meat of my question- when should I plan to prep for the LSAT? I want to devote at least 6-12 months preparing rigorously, but I chose not to do that this year as soon as I found out I couldn't apply for this fall. My fear is that I will prep for 12 months, rock the lsat, only to have a score I can't use for another 7 years (therefore making it irrelevant).

My premium membership I was grandfathered into expires next week, and I do not know whether to extend, choose to prep for a year, test, and save my scores for 5 years, or if I am better off losing my membership, and restarting once I receive career-field release.

Do you have any thoughts on this? Will a score that is 3 or 4 years old look bad?"

Hi all - does anyone have any good strategies for taking notes/marking for RC on the LSAT Flex? Usually RC is my strongest score when I'm taking the test on paper, but having to read on a screen is really screwing me up. I'm taking the October LSAT (trying to raise my score from August) and really need to increase my accuracy on RC. Appreciate any tips!

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to better approach the Argument Part Questions? I feel like they are "freebies" yet giving me a hard time. #help

I have an LSAC fee waiver and I can't seem to find a satisfactory answer as to whether the schools see this or take it into account when evaluating applications in re: economic disadvantage, etc. I know that many schools of course provide the application fee waiver, but from what I can tell that is an automatic process, not something determined by an actual human. Does anyone know?

I ended up taking the GRE a while ago and got a 169 verbal (98 percentile) and 156 quant (59 percentile). Definitely not pleased with the quant score but decided not to retake. I took the LSAT and my highest reported score is 165 (and I will not be retaking). Should I consider sending in my GRE score along with the LSAT score where I have a choice? Or is it a bad idea given my poor quant score?

So, I have 5 LOR that I can use. 3/5 are from people that I had an extremely close relationship with and still keep in contact with, they want me to succeed and also they are important people/professors from my undergrad, and I know they wrote GREAT things.

The other 2/5 are professors that I had a great relationship with as well, and was #1 in their classes, but their communications with me has been extremely poor which has me worried of what they might have written. One of them is from a Western Civ course that had a huge class, debates, and I was the top student, and the professor was initially happy to write a letter... The other is from a practical reasoning / logic course / game theory that I was also top in his class, but he didn't seem thrilled to write a letter and communication extremely lacking.

Considering I have the option to submit up-to 4 letters, should I just go with the 3 I know are very strong and only submit 3/4? Or would having 4/4 be better even if I am unsure what the other two might have written? Should I contact them both and share my concerns with them?

Advice please

I got a 167 on the June LSAT and had a goal of at least a 168 on the August (I was PTing around 171). I was disappointed to receive my score back as a 165, though I wasn't too surprised as I did not feel confident during the August exam. I'm wondering now if I should write an addendum or just hope for the best. I know that COVID is a reason a lot of people have for not reaching their full potential, but my college came back 2 weeks early and is having all classes in-person, so my plan to take the test at home with no other responsibilities was interrupted. I'm only mentioning this to get some feedback as to whether or not this warrants writing an addendum as explanation. I would really appreciate any advice, as I'd like to get some applications out in the next week or so. Thanks for any help you can offer!!

I’m a US citizen/have a US home address etc but just moved to the UK to start grad school for a year. I took the August LSAT Flex in the US, but want to register for the November LSAT-Flex. November is not offered in the Europe region though!

Is the testing region based upon where you are located when taking the test, or where you are from? Could I register for the November LSAT (US region) even though I’m taking it in the UK?

More backstory:

I did register for October though so will take that test if I can't register for November. Ideally, I want to take it in November rather than October because I'll have more time. I got a 169 on the August LSAT (I'm grateful for the score), but know that I can do better (based upon my avgs), but think I'll need more time than 2 weeks.

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a tutor for a few sessions on reading comp. before the October LSAT. I am scoring around 160 right now with the majority of my incorrect answers (Usually -10 to -15) from RC so I'm hoping to make some improvements before the test.

Thanks,

Marcello

Hi there! I'm looking to opt-out of the October LSAT (which I'm currently registered for) and get a coupon for the November LSAT instead. I've been navigating through the LSAC website to figure out how to do this, but to no avail! Does anyone know how to make this switch?

Just as noted in the title. I had been scoring in the low-mid 160s, then scored a 170 last week. Since then, I have been scoring in the 150s over the last 3 prep tests I've taken.I've been doing about one a day in the last week since I am taking the LSAT in October. Idk what is going on or how to fix this. I felt like I had a sound grip on the fundamentals and now cannot seem to get back on track. Any and all advice is appreciated

So you didn't score how you wanted to on the August Flex, and you're feeling discouraged?

That's alright.

I want to share a little quote-perhaps a corny one, but a meaningful one no less- from the Rocky movie: "It's not about how hard you can hit, it's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward."

Maybe your score delt you a blow, but that's not going to define you. What's much more important, is how you respond to that blow, how you proceed from here.

So dig deep and remember why you set out on this difficult path. Why you dared to dream to be a god damn attorney. Remember what you've been through already and let that fuel you, let it push you forward.

Let's get back up, and let's crush the ever living shit out of this test, and let's manifest those dreams.

Does anyone know of a good reading comprehension tutor? This seems to be the one section I can't seem to master and would love for someone to help me figure out how to improve on this section.

I'm looking for an RC study partner or 2 where we go over at least 1 passage in depth every other night leading up to the October exam so we can all become more consistent in our strategies and answers. I'm PTing in the mid 160's but scored below that on the August exam so I'd like a study partner who is in the same range as me and dedicated to improving. We've got this!

My PT average is 165, and my goal is 170+. I'm looking for a group/buddy currently testing in the 160s to do a blind review "debate/discussion" of one practice test every week, with some optional additional review together.

I'm in Asia now, but the time difference is pretty convenient with US times - 10 hours ahead of eastern/11 hours ahead of central/12 ahead of mountain/12 ahead of pacific

E.g., we could meet Friday night your time - Saturday morning my time / Saturday morning your time -Saturday night my time / Sunday night your time - Monday morning my time. Also open to other options. Best,

Hi all I am really struggling with the games section. I have foolproofed all the games from 1-35 and 60-70 and am still really struggling on my pt’s. I just can not seem to get better than -6/7 and am feeling kind of hopeless and not sure of what else to do. I continue foolproofing the above games during the week between practice tests but it just does not seem to be helping my performance much on new pt’s. Any suggestions on what to do would be very much appreciated!

I want to rant with someone about the LSAT. I've gotten to the point that my brain doesn't want to receive any more info. My head feels congested. Don't want to be weird but finding someone that wants to talk about this on a phone call cuz I need a verbal rant.

Hey everybody, If anyone needs any help with LG I can help increase your score! I’ve done all the available games through 7Sage (I think 380 games in total). Please please message me if you need help!

I'm beyond excited. It feels so surreal. I'm positive I couldn't have gotten this score without 7sage, especially on Logic Games. I'm gonna miss J.Y.'s voice!

Title pretty much says it.

My study schedule right now is prep-tests Monday and Friday, RC, LG and LR practice Tuesday-Thursday and Saturday. I just scored a 162 on the August Flex but need at least a 165 for my target school (Arizona State). My weakness is always RC. I tend to miss 5-8 questions there on my prep tests and I know that is holding me back from getting higher scores. I always emphasize RC practice on my off-preptest days and put more time into RC than the other two, simply because it is my weakest section.

Does anybody have tips for getting better at RC, other than practicing passages over and over? It is very possible that I just need more practice but I figured it was worth reaching out to the community to see if you guys/gals have any other strategies that work for you!

Appreciate any insight here, thank you in advance!

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this...but upon hearing the RBG news I actually cried. A symbol of integrity, tenacity, and righteousness for all. I figured since we're all aspiring lawyers, others might be feeling the same way about her.

I read someone else say this on twitter, and found it worth reposting:

"Her rest is earned. It is our turn to fight."

Thanks endlessly to an eternal legend.

I’m really happy with my score but can I get into some T 20 schools with a 169 on LSAT and a 3.33 GPA? NYU is my dream school and I really want to apply there for ED as an international student (Canadian). I’m not sure if I have a chance into these schools?

I'm consistently doing 10-ish points worse under timed conditions (I feel rushed, panic and miss stuff I know). What's the normal difference between the two? Do I have room to improve by the October Flex? tips to not freak out under time constraints?
