Need a friend to study for Nov Exam with!!

My initial idea is to take a full PT and then open up another test and just take one section of it, but that seems kind of inefficient. Does anyone else have better ideas about how to take a 5 section test with the digital tester?

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!

Do i need to include an addenda as to why I received GED and not diploma?? I dropped out in 9th grade and started college when i was 16....or is it better to just discuss in admission essay

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!

The description says it all. Is it wise/advantages to email the school your are applying to and express your interest in their school?

I will be working on MSW when applying. Are transcripts needed for LSAC, and if so are they looked at favorably?

Also...I just read online that you cannot work more than 20 hours a week in law school....is this true??

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, how do you test the data for digital tester? Thank you

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!

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has made or knows of a quizlet or some cheat sheet of the terms introduce in the grammar lessons? (premise indicators ETC)

thank you!!

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!

Should you apply to schools that are closely ranked in order to boost scholarship negoations? For instance, I know I would never go to school A but it's closley ranked to school B that's my top choice. There are no other school's close to my top choice that I'm applying to and school A is close in ranking and geographic location.

hey so I have taken about 3 PT's over that past two weeks and my PT score as well as my BR score have been the same consistently. I was wondering what are some studying tips or ways that people are using in between PT's in order to increase your score. any feedback is greatly appreciated.

I need your best tips on how to complete the LR!! I practice and practice and still cannot get them right! Thank you.

Can your diversity statement be about work experience? I am a visible minority, but i would rather write about the unique perspective that my job (management consulting) has given me.

If the school doesn't specify except that one page is typically sufficient for supplemental essays, is it okay to write one page single-spaced? Then should I single-space my personal statement to have consistent formatting? Thanks in advance!

Hi guys,

I have written on these discussion boards a few times. I am applying to Canadian law schools this November.I finished writing my personal statement. I was wondering if someone could have a look at it and give some feedback. Someone who is good at personal statements. I can also do personal statements swap.

Thanks

[Edit]

Thanks everyone for your interest! I've connected with someone.

The study buddy feature is not working for me for some reason so I thought I would post here. If you are studying for the October/November test, scoring in the 150s or low 160s and looking for a free tutor please message me. I am also preparing for the October test (and registered for November) so it will be a good way for me to both share and strengthen the strategies that have helped me.

I am consistently going -4 to -2 in RC, -6 to -2 in LR, and -3 to -0 in LG. Also, I prefer to meet in person so if you are in or near Chicago and its north suburbs please let me know!

In his video on EC, JY discusses the example A ----> (B---> C), where the embedded part is second, and it becomes A + B ----> C. But what if the embedded conditional is first [(A--->B) ----> C], what would the mechanical rule be then? Do we say that A----> B + C?
