I have no official vaca days and I am too scared to risk it with a last minute sick day. I can’t do a drs note either since the test will last till about late afternoon and if its anything like my last one I will be an exhausted crying mess. What is a good excuse? I simply won’t get paid time which is fine, I just don’t want to get canned!

Hi! So I'm gonna throw it way back to tests like the SAT, ACT and other standardized tests where I was taught the method to just guess if we didn't know it because there is a small penalty for wrong answers. Is this the same thing I should be doing for the LSAT? If I am running out of time and still have questions unanswered, is it better to leave them blank or at least put some sort of answer down?

So upon submitting my OLSAS application, I indicated that planned future lsat dates would include the December and February LSAT. I've written the December date, and may choose to no longer write the Februrary one. Can I delete this planned date? Will this cause law schools to not consider my application until the february date? Will it hurt me if I don't write the February test date even though I indicated that I planned on doing so?

I also found OLSAS has not yet uploaded my December LSAT score. When should I start to be concerned?

Thanks!

Where is the best place to buy Logic Games from PT's 1-35?

Hey, guys. Can anyone thing of a more recent game that has a rule like, “Only seats in the same row...”? Like who thought something like seats in row 1 and in row 2 could be immediately beside each other??? I guess that could happen if you diagrammed something like 123 with an aisle then 456 so 3 and 4 could be immediately beside each other and then 789 immediately behind 123??? I interpreted the rule to mean that no one can be assigned to a row by themselves and the middle seat can’t be empty because someone has to be seated immediately beside you. I diagrammed three rows on top of one another just as displayed in the game so I never thought of it any other way. I set up my game boards this way and missed questions because I misinterpreted it. Anyway, I’m venting because it seems dumb to me but can anyone think of something like this in more recent games?

I’m doing pacifico’s method and if I’m doing my first take timed I’m just finding the right answer and not trying to prove the answers wrong, so I usually feel pretty certain about my answer and don’t circle a lot of questions. After my first take most of the time I only have one answer circled to BR and sometimes I still end up getting one wrong even after BR. IDK how to properly BR without taking a half hour on my first take to make sure I’m 100% certain that my answer is right and the other answer choices are wrong. Am I supposed to draw out the game board for each a/b/c/d/e answer choice on the first take?

A lot of times the Q I get wrong which I didn’t circle to BR I missed bc I misread the question or AC since I’m kind of rushing since it’s timed I guess

Looking for the LGs to foolproof. Figure it'll be a pretty penny or two.

Has anyone done any virtual tutoring sessions and can recommend a tutor? Specifically, I’m looking for help getting from high 160s-low 170s to consistently scoring in the 170s.

Hello, I know today is New Years Eve but the NYU scholarship applications are due tomorrow and I am looking for a tough critic to review my essays tonight. I would really appreciate it and would happily return the favor in the future!

So in my statement, I write about contacting a high profile player agent when I was younger to ask for advice on the path I should take. He is not a nobody, he is one of the top agents in the NHL and actually graduated from one of the law school's I am applying. Is it ok to use his name or should I describe him as I did in this such question?

Thanks

I'm having a tough time trying to find an effective way to organize what seems like an infinite amount of paper.

How do you guys organize it?

Do you keep your fool proofing sections one place and LR in another?

Should I invest in a filing cabinet at this point lol?

Located in California, bay area. time zone is PST, I can usually meet after 4 PM PST. I'm averaging 161 and will take the exam in Feb. Cranking for the last six weeks.

So I scored a 169 LSAT, but due to a really low GPA from a long time ago(2.8). My more recent academic GPA was a 3.3. Would I be in the running for heavy scholarships at schools with average LSAT of 157?

I am doing the flash cards for the group 3 logical indicators and keep coming up with the contrapositive first. Example: There is no punishment without law. The group 3 operator is without I picked “law” made it the sufficient and negated it. The other idea was punishment. So for me it looked like this: /L -> /P. and then my contrapositive is P -> L. I kept doing this on many of them. The flash card showed with P -> L first. I realize that they are just contrapositives of each other but I just started to worry that there may be something wrong with the way I was reading it that would cause me problems in real LR questions.

Hey I was wondering if anyone could help me with this problem. Its a main conclusion question. It seems as if the second sentence is something like a minor conclusion, that is, its used in service of the larger conclusion (the first sentence). If this were a main conclusion question for reading comp, I think I would have chosen the correct answer C. Instead I chose A. Any ideas?

I was just checking out some “LSAT watches” as they have a bezel with marks going from 0-35. I know some watches such as those with chronographs have been banned, however this appears to be a traditional watch only with LSAT section length bezel. I thought this could prove helpful, because honestly I can hardly tell time let alone breath when taking certain sections.

Hi all -

Need to get some thoughts on whether I should apply this cycle. Scored a 162, although I was PTing higher. I had to rush the study to make it this cycle since I had extended my Fulbright year to finish up some research. I have a 3.82 GPA and would prefer schools in the T-14 although I know my score is low for that. I'm thinking I might still have a chance because of some of my softs & I am working a consulting firm at the moment.

Should I retake & sit out this cycle or at least try applying? Might just pick a select group of schools. Was even thinking going ED for UPenn.

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Did anyone else get an invite to interview with WashU today???

I did not apply to WashU so I am very confused.

Hello,

I am trying to upgrade to the 7Sage Starter course. However, when I submit my MasterCard information it keeps saying, "This card does not accept this type of purchase." I do not understand why it is doing this. It will not accept another card I tried either, which is also a MasterCard. I have tried resubmitting my information five times...Can someone help?

Thank you,

Amanda

Took a class this past semester and I really clicked with the prof. I'm hesitant to email her until next semester begins because I know some professors keep (and deserve to keep) strict, operating-hours only timelines for checking their emails. I don't want to clutter her email and then her lose it in the depth of her inbox.

I'm also hesitant to ask at the very beginning of the semester because it can be so hectic. So is there any particular time that worked best for y'all?

Diagramming the more complex questions can take quite a bit of time. Sometimes the correct answers are more intuitive and thus it would be a waste of time to diagram. But reading the question stem and all the answer choices also takes time and when the correct answer choice is not intuitive, you have to go back and read the stimulus again to begin diagramming.

So my question is, how do you guys know when to diagram and when to not? Do you diagram from the first reading of any conditional/existential statement markers? Or do you do so as a last resort? Or do I just lack the intuition to know when diagramming is appropriate vs when it is not?

I've got a 3.94 out of WashU, and a 171 LSAT, currently finishing my senior year and applying in the next week. These normally seem like pretty safe numbers for Penn but I have a few main concerns.

I had a 166 LSAT before, and some schools like to average. I had just flown home from europe two days prior so I feel like I can write it off as being jet lagged, but still feel like this is going to hold me back in some way

I have a minor weed related citation I received a few years back, but charges were dismissed. Again nothing serious, but it's making me consider playing things safe.

I'm applying rather late in the cycle.

I'm a senior still, with little real work experience (just internships). Plus I'm a Finance major, heard law schools aren't such a huge fan of business majors.

I would prefer Chicago, but just marginally. Given these numbers, should I play it safe and apply ED round 2 to Penn? Or roll the dice and see if I can get into Chicago or Columbia? I've been looking at all the numbers on lawschooladmissions and such, but really hard to get a feel for my particular circumstances.

Thanks guys!

Hey guys,

Trying to get a sense of how long it usually takes someone to achieve consistent -1/-0 on logic games. How many games from early tests did you do, how many attempts for each game, how many PT's before you started seeing perfect LG scores etc.
