I’ve been wondering about this for a while and google isn’t giving me an answer I like haha. Anyone have any thoughts?

Can anyone give me their best tips on how to do well on RC? It is constantly the one section that is dragging me down. Some days I can go -5 and others it is -10+. It is super frustrating. I am planning on taking the LSAT in January one last time. I typically read each paragraph and make short 3-4 word summaries on scratch paper. I try to piece it together and analyze the structure. I honestly sometimes just don't understand some of the passages. I struggle more so with the law passages and science. I am Pting between a 159-163. My LR and LG have improved a ton. Goal is a 157+ on test day.

Thanks!

Does anyone know how to go about sending a school an additional LOR after being wait listed, if the school only accepts 2 LOR's via LSAC and you sent two with your original application?

Thanks!

McGeorge school of Law is holding a mock LSAT. I called signed up and they said they are one of the few places that can do it. They also said they have no idea which test will be used and they are working with a specific section of LSAC people. I signed up because I think it would be great experience to maybe get some nerves out and really simulate the whole process. But its a 3 hr drive and i just dont wanna go only to get a test ive already done. Any thoughts? Its an official event if you just type in Mock LSAT December 14th Mcgeorge in google.

I'm going to be on two long flights at the end of this month and am planning on running through lots of printed logic games. However, I'm not sure the best way to go about reviewing the games since I'll be unable to digitally access the answers (and explanations) to the games while on the flight.

Has anyone found an effective review method for LG that doesn't require the internet? I suppose I could try to simply print off answer sheets for each relevant LSAT, but wasn't sure if there was any other option. Thanks!

I almost always fall for this rule/time sinks when seeing this in LG, I can never draw out this rule intuitively. Some examples:

9.3.1 At least twice as many roses as orchids.

27.2.3 Exactly twice as many of the film buffs see the H film as see the F film.

32.3.2 At lease as many F novels as R novels are selected.

At least twice the amount of A as B

Can someone please kindly tell me how to understand them properly and efficiently? Thank you so much!

Hi all,

I never knew this day would be coming, but time really does fly. I started my LSAT journey back in Jan 2017 and it's been hell of a ride. I started with a 130 (no joke) and I've been able to improve my score drastically and I don't think it's sugar coating it when I say it's because of the help I got from the 7sage community.

Yesterday, I had my Penn Law (or Penn Carey Law) interview and after I was done, I couldn't help but think back to how I got to that point in my life. It's always been a dream for me to go to Penn Law (due to my strong interest in business law) and just the idea of doing an interview was surreal to me. What I really want to say to you all is never give up and pursue your goal. I know this has been said many many times, but keep enduring while you're studying for the LSAT or writing your personal statement and you'll eventually get there. I've had many many many sleepless nights not just studying for the LSAT, but also putting together a strong application with the personal statement, LORs, why X essays, resume, etc. But seriously it was all worth it in the end. And if I could go back in time, I'd do the same thing.

I hope I have more interviews coming my way, but in the meantime, let me know if you guys want any advice regarding LSAT, admissions process, etc. Would be more than happy to answer questions. Thank you again 7sage community!

Anyone know of any good audiobook resources that would be worthwhile? I spent 1.5-2 hrs in the car commuting every day and figured I might as well is that time to “study” and learn/reinforce...

Thanks!

Does anyone have advice on the Columbia law fun facts section? Can anyone provide feedback below?

I was held back a year in Kindergarten because I struggled learning how to count but as an adult I ended up becoming a CPA Accountant.

While Vietnamese is one of my native languages, I feel more comfortable speaking Spanish than Vietnamese when speaking in professional and academic settings.

I don't watch tv often but when I do its either Keeping up with Kardashians or documentaries like PBS Frontline.

Hi! Wondering how to study differently for my third time (technically fourth time but I took July and cancelled it because I ended up getting the same exact score as my second LSAT). I have already taken essentially every relevant practice test in the year + that I studied, and I don't necessarily need to review the basics (I have a thorough understanding of the test concepts).

I am starting studying again in January and taking the April 2020 test. I think I need to put less pressure on myself and focus on self care more this time around, because I consistently practiced 5 points higher than what I score on test day. But I am just not sure how to study this time around besides just taking practice tests like every weekend and doing a really good job on blind review.

Any and all advice is appreciated!

I took the November 2019 LSAT last Monday the 25th at John Marshall Law School in Chicago. Everything seemed fine; we all completed the test and were in and out in about 4 hours. Nothing went wrong with the test center or the tablets as far as I'm aware. Yesterday afternoon, I received an email from LSAC with the subject line "LSAT Test Center Reassignment." The email says that since I was unable to take the test I registered for, my make-up exam will occur this Sunday Dec 8th at John Marshall Law School (same test center as before). I checked my LSAC account and it, too, says that I'm registered for the December 8th LSAT and that I can print my admission ticket. I've tried calling LSAC multiple times and every time I've been on hold for over an hour because all of their lines are busy.

Has this happened to anyone else over the past couple days? I'm so confused as to why LSAC thinks I was unable to take the exam on the scheduled date. I already spent a lot of time and money traveling to Chicago for last week's exam, and I'll be in a really tough spot if I have to re-take it this Sunday.

If your gpa is above 75th for all t14 schools, what is a good goal lsat score that would give you solid chances of getting into at least 1 T14 with some money?

Should I put my LSAC calculated GPA on my resume or my undergraduate institution's calculation if it differs?

Hi, I know that older exams (pre J07) differ in structure etc. How does one incorporate them into your studying? Should you treat them like real PTs but take the score with a grain of salt? Or....

I've got a Google Calendar where I log my study times. Would love to share it with whomever, so we can make sure we're both hitting our goals and see an overview of what we are reviewing!

Hey everyone,

So I recently just won a battle with my old community college to change my grade from an F to a W after five years, due to a misunderstanding with the professor years ago. Yeah WOOO! but I sent in a new transcript and they just added them together but did not remove the F grade? It says they processed it but my UGPA or units did not change? Anyone have any experience with this? The Transcripts are the same it just reflects a new W instead of F on the new one, yet the Summary Report does not reflect that?

Freaking out kind of!!

My UGPA was effected by the F by a .15 decrease.

Any tips on negotiating scholarships? Can you do it earlier then is recommended on this site?

I’ve received many 100% scholarships from lower ranked (50 and under schools) and just heard back from a top 20 school and received $30,000 total. This is my top school choice. I was below their lsat median and above 75% GPA. I haven’t applied to many other higher ranked schools, only 3 others which I am waiting to hear from.

What would be a reasonable starting point for negotiations?

If anyone is available to tutor RC and LR please message me. I can do video call/ in person meeting (I live in Tarzana, CA)

Thank you!!

I chose AC: B. Why is C the flaw for this question?

Hello Everyone, I would need some helps from everyone:

I am a non-traditional applicant, 29 years old, 7 years of professional working experience in banking and consulting. I finished y undergrad in 2012 and had a GPA of 2.16 (Transcript) and 2.1 (LSAC GPA). I have been in a part-time MBA program since 2017 and will have it completed in June 2020 (Same University). My LSAT is 160, and had 4 good academic recommendations, my MBA and Undergrad school is a T20 school. However, when I looked at the law school predictor results, I only stood at approxi. 5-15% chance for many of the top 100 schools. I am lost, and not sure if I should proceed with my applications, and if there is a chance for me to get into one of the Top 100s?

Any advice? Thank you

Hey guys,

I think the previous BR page where you can type in your answers using keyboard instead of clicking each one, is gone??

I do think that was a much more efficient way to do BR. But now the only way to BR seems inside the same single PT page?

Can we have the old system back?? Thanks a lot.

I'm having trouble deciding whether or not to even consider writing a diversity statement. I'm wondering if growing up with a special needs sibling and/or single parent would be a diversifying element, or if I should just skip it altogether .

Hi guys,

I had a quick question. I am struggling with timings when it comes to LR questions. So when there is an LR question that is long, I tend to skip it. I was wondering, are there any specific strategies that you guys apply to deal with long text LR questions.

Thanks

Hey everyone,

So, I was ready to go for the Nov. LSAT and went the day of but ended up leaving after section 3 and cancelling my score. Up until then, I was planning on applying this cycle as soon as I got my score. However, now I'm facing a dilemma.

I'm planning on taking the Jan LSAT so that I dont lose any of my prep so far, but I'm unsure if it's wise to apply this cycle since it would be rather late. I didn't want to take another gap year, even though I'm sure I could extend my current internship or find something else to do during that time so that I don't have a gap in my resume, etc.

I have a strong GPA and I'm a URM - so my question is if you guys have any advice on applying late this cycle or just waiting for next cycle?

As an aside, I do already have me LORs submitted, so I was wondering if I would need new ones if I decide to apply next cycle instead of this one.

Any advice/ thoughts/ comments are welcome. Thanks in advance!!

Are people who have to study significantly more to get a good LSAT score at a comparative disadvantage if they go to a top school? For example Bob studies 1000 hours and scores a 174. July is a genius and studies 10 hours and gets a 174. At the same T14 law school would Bob be at a disadvantage and would July have an advantage judging from the time it took to earn the same LSAT score?

This must seem like an odd question and I recognize there are inherent advantages and disadvantages to being a super hard worker vs having natural talent, but I would like to know if there is a trend in who performs better in law school, the "super hard worker" or the person with "natural genius."

Thank you!!!
