I did 5 PTs in the month before taking the LSAT, and for better or worse, my scores were very consistent (within 1 point of each other). So I was pretty happy that my real test score was higher than all my PTs (by 1 point). I can't say there was any…

@SharpieHighlighter Thank you for your advice! I am pretty much set on getting some kind of work experience before law school and was hoping to be told industry experience isn't all that necessary. I was/am leaning toward wo…

I am currently a Masters student in Bioengineering with a BS in Chemistry (3.75 GPA). I have recently gotten some mixed opinions about the best way to get into Patent Law, and I'm really hoping I could get your advice/experi…
Thanks for your responses, all. I guess one month is not unheard of so I'll remain patient.

Expect longer time in case LSAC come back and point any concern to your file. Mine took about a month due to an false error that LSAC …
You can use the "familiarize yourself" page on the LSAC website prior to doing test if you are concerned about timing, that will ensure your laptop is up to the task and let you see how long it takes to get set up. I did that to install the software…

Right now I'm dealing with a small problem regarding my Letter of Recommendation. One of my former employers forgot to add anecdotal info to my letter and I'm unsure about how I should tell him he needs to improve …
As you probably figured out, timing yourself is hugely important for studying. Now that you are doing PT timed, you will still have the opportunity to take a deeper dive and scrutinize questions during BR, without a timer. Getting 165+ untimed is a …

do you have to pay for CAS before your transcripts are processed???
I didn't see a way to upload transcripts until I purchased CAS. To the best of my knowledge, most law schools require applications through CAS, so I d…
Happy with my November score, my first and only LSAT test. I got a 9 point increase from diagnostic after only about 2 months of reasonably light studying a few weeknights per week, and doing 5 PTs throughout November. Thanks 7sage!

There's a little paperback very popular with lawyers and law students called "Plain English for Lawyers." I bought it, but still haven't got around to opening it. It's a short guide on how to write effective sentences, with little exercises at the e…

Sorry if I'm asking a dumb question but just a bit confused here. Since you have your LLM and passed the bar, I'm assuming you already have your JD. So why are you studying for the LSAT?
Also type "7sage predictor" on go…

Was the flagging questions function the same?
Yes, there is a flag toggle in the top right of the question, which you can select to place a flag over the question number shown down in the bottom.

If you're taking it again, I found a life hack! My proctors handed out those screen cleaning wipes. After I used it on the screen, I laid it out under my tablet and it kept it from slipping.
I knew I should have requested …
Just want to say I was pleasantly surprised by the tablets. Perhaps I got quite lucky, but I did not experience any of the gripes many others reported with the tablet. It seemed brand new, easy to use, the angle was highly adjustable and the screen…
If I am faced with an LG I just cannot work out, I plan to take a few deep breaths, take educated guesses (or even wild guesses if it comes to it) and move on with the test. If my score is not adequate due to failing the LG section I will retake.
12:30pm writing? Isn't the writing portion something you can complete in your own time? I'm just asking in case I am unaware that I'm also meant to be preparing for writing in 2 weeks!

31 year old here. I work for a law firm who are generous enough to put up tuition for me, I would be a fool to not take the opportunity! Never thought of myself as an old timer, I prefer to think I'm just very wise.
