Aiming for 162, is it possible to increase my score by 7 points by the June test? I have gone through the core curriculum 3 times and have been stuck around 155 for weeks on the PTs. How can I improve? Should I invest in an lsat book or another online program? Average -4 LG, -7/-8 LR, -11 RC.

Hi Everyone,

I'm supposed to start law school in New York City in the Fall, but I'm genuinely confused about what I should do now. The idea of paying a ton of money to potentially be taking online Zoom classes seems like such a waste.

I'm curious what other people's thoughts are who are in similar situations?

Just for transparency, I have been in the work force and out of undergrad for 4 years, so I do have the safe option of just staying at my job. I know it is a different situation for those of you coming straight out of undergrad.

Thanks!

Hi all, I’m considering purchasing the LSAT Prep Plus from LSAC. I was wondering if anyone has any feedback regarding it? Has it helped you? Do you have any criticisms? TIA!

Good Morning Everyone,

I am taking the July LSAT, and I remember in one of the videos JY discussed in a rc passage explanation that you should do a warm up before doing questions. I was wondering if anyone does a warm up routine before the LSAT, and what should it be?

Hope everyone is doing well! Not sure if this has been discussed but I notice certain patterns/trends that are helpful in making a jump from 140 to 150 and I’m curious if any of you could share tips/insights that helped get into the 160’s and more specifically 165+ range. Aside from LG which I believe fool proof is key, study tips for LR and RC that helped with this would would be appreciated!

Should I do a Prep-test throughout studying (i.e. halfway through or 1/3 way through) to gauge my growth and see what I still need to focus on or should I leave them all till I'm finished studying? What are your thoughts?

Hello all! I am looking for a LSAT study buddy, a study group and people to share resources with. I recently started my studying journey. I am aiming for the Oct or Nov LSAT but it all depends on when I feel ready. I am open to Skype, Zoom, text, calls, facetime etc. I am in the eastern time zone.

I was waitlisted at the end of February, and sent a LOCI around late March (it may have been too early since the first seat deposit date was April 15). I expressed why and how eager I am to go there (my first choice) and what I would like to do once I get accepted, including my future plans.

I haven't heard from the school until now and am getting a little anxious about waiting - although I'm supposed to remain calm!!! I have no plan to take an additional LSAT, nor have any changes at work or other soft factors that is significant. I am not so sure of my chances in getting off the waitlist but want to do as much as I can to change the decision...

I am not so sure if the school accepts a second LOCI, but should I still write one? Maybe talk about the professor I would like to work with etc... Or should I just write a short (2-3 sentences) email that just appeals my continued interest? (Cuz I don't want to push them you know...) Or since it's already mid May, is it just too late to take any additional actions?

Thank you in advance!

During my last PT, there was some kind of glitch in my LR section. I was not able to see all of the answer choices and was shown only 3 answer choices for some questions or just 1 answer choice. I tried scrolling up (sometimes the answer choices are long) to see more but that didn't work either. I had to stop my PT and do a timed BR and then actually do BR. I'm not too sure if this has happened to anyone but if so, how did you solve this problem?

Thank you.

Hey all,

Can we think that "confusing a possible solution as the only solution" to be similar to "confusing the sufficient for necessary", or is there another nuanced difference between the two that I'm not quite catching onto?

Hi all,

I had a few quick questions about conditional statements.

Say we have A --> B.

I know that if A is not met (sufficient) or B is met (necessary), I know that the conditional statement falls away (without needing to know the outcome of the other). But does falling away mean that the conditional statement is INVALID or that it is NOT TRUE (hence, false)?

Given A --> B, I know that the conditional statement is false if A is met but B is not met. But are there other ways for the conditional statement to be false other than the situation I've given above?

Thank you!

Hi,

So I tried taking a preptest on LSAC's lawhub (preptest 36 to be exact), and right after I took it, I saw my score, then went back to the library. When I clicked back on the preptest, all my answers, EVERYTHING, was erased. It was like I never even took the test.

Anybody else having this issue, and if you found a way to solve it, please reply!

Thanks!

Best regards

I've been doing a lot of RC sections lately as it's one area I'm trying to improve at. My scores have definitely gone from an average of -10 to -8, to about a -2 to -5. Normally I'm at about a -4. However, I've been doing older RC passes - 20's and 30's, because I've been wanting to save the newer ones. I've become concerned upon reading that RC passages are generally easier the older they are (some people have said significantly so) compared with the newest preptests. Is it even worth doing the older ones? How much harder are the newer ones?

I purchased the 7 sage curriculum along with the LSAC prep test bundle so that I could view the questions and answers. Neither the link from 7 sage, nor the email link sent by LSAC will let me “activate” my profile. I can’t reach anyone from LSAC, so I’ve been unable to fully utilize my purchase for over a week now. Any advice?

We want to let you know about a pre-law summer program (online this year, thanks Covid) from Duke Law school.

It's hosted by Prof. Neil Siegel who also happens to be the professor behind our Constitutional Law Explained course. He's been running this program for a few years now.

The program takes place over two separate two-week sessions. You'll get to take law classes with Duke Law professors and meet special guests like U.S. Senator Mike Lee and Dana Remus, Chief Counsel of the Biden for President Campaign and Former Deputy Counsel and Deputy Assistant to President Barack Obama.

More information and registration here.

Hi! So I recently cancelled the June LSAT Flex option in exchange for a coupon. I was wondering how do you access the coupon? Is it going to be visible in my account? Or is it something that would be automatically applied when I register for the next test? I scanned my account and there is no coupon visible. The prior 'registrations' have been removed however, so they have modified the account. I had emailed LSAC requesting for the cancellation and they replied saying that they had processed it. But they did not respond to how I could access the coupons. In the email, they basically said that a coupon had been 'added to your account' but no further information was given.

Any help would be much appreciated.
