  • It sounds like you might not be ready to take it again in November, and delaying could ultimately be in your best interest. January is definitely on the later side of the application cycle, but it would be better to apply with a higher score later t…
  • Yes, as @rubenpinuelas7 said, every time you register for and take a test, it counts as one of your official takes, regardless if you cancel or keep your score. It sounds like you are more concerned with how the number of tests looks to the schools …
  • I would recommend hooking up with study buddies/groups right away, it is a great way to make progress with this test. I find doing untimed sections of LR and RC to review with others a great way to solidify your grasp on the material. Best of luck!
  • Agreed with @a_pmorenoc , and would just add that putting a WhyX at the end of your PS can detract from your work, especially if they offer you space to do it in a separate essay. Keep every piece of writing as cohesive and on-topic as you are able,…
  • They have to wait for LSAC to release them before they add new tests, which I believe has still not happened yet? But you can take them on LawHub.
  • Applying ED does not give you enough of a bump to compensate for a below median LSAT score. I would put as much effort as possible into studying leading up to January so you can apply with your strongest application.
  • I think you got advice that might be right for someone, but it sounds like it’s not the right advice for you. You need to write an essay that feels like it makes the best case for the admissions committees to accept you into the various law schools …
  • Definitely the phd student. You need a letter writer who really knows you and can sing your praises with lots of specifics. No one will be impressed by a generic letter from any source, regardless of their notoriety. They aren’t admitting the profes…
  • Doesn’t matter for diagnostic, but I’d use an older one to save the newer ones for future practice.
  • @CEOofgettinga170 remembering that the answers to the questions are in the passage is probably the one thing that helped more than anything else... I know it sounds stupidly simple, but easy to forget, or think the LSAT is trying to trick you (shout…
  • I would say a big fat yes on addenda for both. Cancer treatment is a darn good reason to see a gap in work as well as tank your LSAT score. I think being honest about the effect that your illness has had will mitigate most red flags on your app, es…

  • The power dynamic goes the wrong way here. A former employee might rely on you for a recommendation for future employment, making any recommendation they write you potentially suspect. A coworker, client or employer/supervisor will read much better.…
  • Definitely write an addendum. As with any addendum, I’d keep it brief and fact-based. They will be able to see your stem classes in your transcripts, as well your degree on your resume, but letting them know you were awarded a BS that is not indicat…
  • Which PT and question?
  • Misc grouping sequencing
  • Happens all the time! I have had to slow down a bit in the first couple of games as it is so easy to misread or misinterpret a rule, costing precious points.
  • I do think that there is an amount of unnecessarily convoluted jargon, and the title of this one is likely included in that. The fact is, some people learn best through abstract and precise labeling, others more intuitively. I think 7Sage and LSAT D…
  • which test, section and question?
  • It is a risk. I would love to say that you are right and that you will not be judged for disclosing a LD, but it is a very real possibility that since law schools are essentially judged by their numbers which are driven by the success of their stude…
  • The Oceanographer and the Physicist, from the rules, can present in Japanese. However, either could also present in French, and if one of them does, we would need a different expert to be the second Japanese presenter, since we know we need two. The…
  • Definitely call, make sure you do everything on your end to get your test rescheduled.
  • Their binding ED isn't even closed until Dec 1, priority Reg D is April 1, so you have plenty of time, according to their website: https://www.suffolk.edu/law/admission/dates-deadlines
  • It sounds to me like you might not be ready for timed sections. If you are unable to work out the answers untimed, adding the pressure of the clock will not help, and will most likely hurt you at this point. I would advise not taking any timed PTs,…
  • @HopefullyHLS LSAC actually does offer a paper test accommodation. You have to request it, and I am not sure if you need a letter as with other accommodations, but it is available.
  • @Jagbirh , you are so welcome! I am twiddling my thumbs till scores release on October 27th, gotta pay forward all the pearls I have picked up over the last year!
  • @canihazJD that was my thought exactly. I have seen questions getting at this type of layout, but it would never say two apart. It would say that there are exactly two spaces between A and B. Definitely a PSA for official, licensed study materials o…
  • Keeping this post alive as it is probably the most comprehensive foundational RC advice around. https://7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/26560/my-guide-to-reading-comprehension-part-1-long-ish-post
  • @"giulia.pines" , same for me. I tried all the things and note taking definitely took the most time and produced the fewest gains. I ALSO had 2 RC sections and finished with extra time, I hope that was a good thing... I actually remember a lot of de…
  • If memory serves, 7am to 8pm, or thereabouts.
