Taking at least a minute over but the steps I follow and the inferences I arrive at are exactly same. However, I am reading off of the screen and doing the game on paper, would that make a difference?

If some of you faced this, why is this? And how do I get generally faster at LG? I am already foolproofing and I see a difference but I am still slower than JY's estimates. Sometimes by 2 minutes, sometimes by 30 seconds.

I am signed up for CAS and I keep requesting that my undergraduate grades get sent through the service that my university uses and they never show up?? I have spent 10 bucks 3 times now and no grades. University says check with service, service says they sent them to CAS and CAS says they don't receive them. Yikes. Any ideas would be most welcome.

I’m having some trouble getting over the timing aspect of the LSAT. If I take an untimed practice section, I feel so much less pressure AND still finish within the 35 minutes. But the second I start timing myself, I start feeling really anxious and overthink the questions. Even though I know I’m capable of finishing within the allotted time, I still feel a lot of pressure when I time myself. Does anyone have any helpful tips to move past this?

Hey guys, I'm having difficulty understanding this question. It states:

I am having a hard time understanding Frank's argument. I know Lance is saying the minimum experiences teach us is that every general rule has at least one exception. But what I don't understand is how Frank came to the conclusion that there is at least one general rule that has no exceptions.. If anyone can explain, it'd be super helpful :)

I know that I eventually need to pay for the CAS ($195) for law schools to see my application, but when is the best time to purchase it? I am registered for the November 2018 LSAT and wish to apply for the Fall 2019 cycle. Taking the Jan 2019 LSAT will be my last resort if I don't do too well on the November test (many schools I wish to apply to accept the Jan 2019 test). I have been focused on just studying for the LSAT and haven't been keeping track on the process of applying. Do I need to have CAS first before I contact my undergrad schools for transcripts as well as letters of recommendation from professors?

As many law schools have already starting accepting applications, I am getting anxious. I just want to make sure I don't mess up on anything on my law school applications and everything goes well!

So I got bored this morning, checked my Gmail Spam and voila, there's like 10 fee waiver emails in there, automatically filtered cos "it's similar to emails that have been identified as spam before". The star, of course, is Duke's invitation for me to apply Priority Track. I have been longing to receive it and who know it's been in my spam while I waited anxiously?

For those who don't listen to such advice like old me, check your spam.

Food for thought:

When I started studying full time, approximately four months ago, LG was by far my worst section. With diligent practice and doing the full-proof method, I have significantly raised my average performance. Now, it seems that I am plateauing with LR... LR is now pretty much my worst section(s) and also my least favorite sections to take.

Any tips?

I've done all the core curriculum and looked over the lessons that I think I feel the most uncomfortable with several times. I've seen that I've missed some of the Weakening and Strengthening questions which are basically freebies, and when BR'ing I say to myself, "Why in the hell are you missing these?!"

I am at a crossroad in which schools I should apply to. I have an LSAT score of 158 and a GPA of 3.7. My softs qualification would be that I am an engineering graduate with honors. For me, Intellectual Property Law, mainly patent prosecution, is something that really interests me.

I have read this blog post: https://medium.com/@andybrink/10-variables-more-important-than-prestige-real-factors-to-help-you-pick-a-law-school-bd8e38b023c8

It's worth reading since it includes variables other than law school rankings to consider. BUT I feel like ranking still matters with job prospects. I am planning on applying to UCI (#21) or Loyola (#65). Both are reachable schools with my numbers. I will apply to other schools, like USC etc. but that seems like a practice in futility.

To make matters simple let's just assume $0 for scholarships. I plan to be based and practice in LA. Loyola has a good program. I am considering doing a double concentration in IP and Cybersecurity and Data Privacy Law. Loyola both offer these programs. I also read that their Data Privacy Law have well known faculties. I think Cyber-anything law would become a big field in the future due to where out society is heading. I dont mind doing the extra-leg work that lower ranked schools entails. I have talked to lawyers who went from unknown-unranked law schools and are doing VERY well. They all sing the same hymn, "it's not where you get your degree, but what you do with it."

However, UCI's ranking is pushing me to highly consider them. They are really trying to be the next highly ranked school in CA. Although their alumni network is not as vast as Loyola, I heard nothing but good things from UCI. Their faculties are also top-notched and student accomodations are well praised. Their ranking, although at its infancy stage, I think would end up competing with USC and UCLA.

SO I was wondering if the community can give me any feedback on how to approach this issue. Should ranking be the top thing to consider? How about subjective issues like concentrations and future growth be considered as well?

Because I’m 34 and have gone to three colleges over my lifetime (including one that has since shut down) my LSAC GPA is a full .5 grade pints below my current GPA from my degree-granting institution. someone help me. I’m having a small freak out.

A couple of my applications have a character rather than a word length requirement. Microsoft Word gives two character counts: with and without spaces. It actually makes a pretty huge difference. Which should we use?

I know this is a pretty specific question but any input would be great.

Hi all! I'm hitting my target score on Blind Review, but the logic games are killing me on timed PTs. Once I blind review I tend to get all the logic games correct, sometimes -1, but it just takes me way longer than 35 minutes. I just can't finish all four games in time. How do I get faster?

If I’m too lazy to study for more than a couple hours a day, does that suggest I’m not cut out for the rigors of law school and lawyering?

Hey guys,

I am planning to apply this November for all the law schools in Ontario. I did really badly on my first degree (2.5) However, I did decide to go back to school for a second degree and will be finishing with a 3.8. I rounded it up and my GPA increased to a 3.4. I don't know how the admissions committee will look at my profile ? Will they count my cumulative ? Should I apply outside of Ontario as well ? Just to be safe ? Has anyone gotten in with two degrees ? Where they had a major shift in marks

Let me know :)

Hi all,

I got kicked out of my high school in my sophomore year. I was caught with marijuana. That part of my life is a blur. My mom had recently passed away and I was feeling very lost. This was also, like, more than 10 years ago. I am 26 now. I do not remember how I left it with the other school aside from knowing they asked me to leave. I don't know if its part of my "record" or anything like that.

Do I need to include this in my application? One application asked a question along the lines of "have I ever got into any trouble in a educational institution," or something like that.

Thanks in advance for any info!

So I submitted my application last week. I heard it takes about two weeks, but I'm getting so impatient. Does anyone want to share a story about how getting accommodations really helped them and their score? I'd love to hear anything positive to pass the time.

Hi,

I've gone through the entire CC, but i'm still have trouble being able to translate passages to their Conditional Reasoning equivalencies intuitively or with enough speed and accuracy. What tools to people use to internalize conditional reasoning translations?

Also with weakening questions I tend to just as easily talk myself out of the correct answer on the grounds of it making assumptions. What are strategies y'all use to approach weaken questions? Thanks!

I need to know the secrets of the “I can get a 180 while I’m a prisoner of a Chinese re-education camp suffering from dysintery, completely dehydrated, freezing, and without one arm” people. Some of you diagnostic’d at 172. lawd Jesus. I need these insights.

First test, with 0-10 hours total of studying scored, 136, didn't even do a full prep test.. I know I know..

Taking in November again and studying 2-3 hours every weekday, plus practice tests every weekend.

Is 15-20 points jump plausible?

Question stem: would be most helpful to know in order to evaluate the argument?

I am not familiar to this questions stem. Does anyone have strategies in attacking these kind of q's?

Thank you!

Currently, I'm following the syllabus and in middle of the MSS questions sets. While I got almost all of the early--and easy--question sets correct, I haven't kept that up for the more difficult ones. My question is, is that normal, and am I expected to know how to answer these difficult questions without any knowledge of logic (that's the order the syllabus has them)?

I am talking for example the viruses or dinosaurs (PT 79 and PT 57).

These are the kinda games that look like things might fall into place once we get into the questions, but they actually don't.

However, the logic is fairly usual when you think about it.

So, when this happens on the actual PT, esp seeing as how LG is a section where one can get the most points, how to not be frazzled and work through a proper strategy?

Hi all!

Navigating CAS/ making sure I've actually done things right is giving me anxiety. Can someone shed light on either one of these things:

Thank you!!!

I hope everyone is having a great week. The fall weather is starting to come around here in beautiful San Jose, CA.

Anyway, I am thinking of postponing my 2nd take to January rather than November. I don't feel like I'm ready. I need a 156-157 to feel comfortable about getting into my target school and I feel as if I'm barely scratching 150. There is just over 6 weeks left until the November exam.

What do yall think? Take November and see if I can hit a 156, and just take the January exam if not? Or sit out the November exam and take the January one.

Thanks, all.

Hi everyone,

I apologize I have been submitting a lot of questions regarding admissions. Am I supposed to enter my LSAC GPA or my real GPA in the applications? Or does LSAC submit that in the transcripts?

Who is taken the January Lsat 2019?

Is it possible for me to score between 150-160? How many practice test will I need to take a week? My points keeps on decreasing and I am trying to figure out what else I should do? I am still weak on Logic Games and RC? Should I focus on my weaker sides or my stronger side which is the LR ?

I just want to do ok and get into an ok law school.

I need some encouragement too... (it is not easy) because I am working full time and I barely get enough sleep.
