When you score your tests in Analytics, you'll be able to see a difficulty rating for each of the sections. Some tests end up a little easier than others, but the grading scale is unique for each test and makes your score relatively consistent. Tha…

I know this is not exactly the advice you were looking for, but I think I agree with @"Adam Hawks" that you should consider traveling and living abroad before law school. Law is such a heavily regulated profession that it's going to be on the diffic…

I think if it was a formal written warning, you should include. Always better to disclose than to not disclose and regret it. Although it sounds unlikely LSAC or schools would be able to dig it up, if somehow they did - it would be much better if yo…

Interesting, it looks like they are extending the deadline only for July test takers. Can anyone confirm? Either trying to register if you weren't a taker, or did take it in July and can still register?

I think it's likely not a specific skill you keep over time, but do feel like the LSAT pushes you to think in a way similarly to what you need to do in law school. Logical thinking and parsing dense reading is obviously very important. The ability t…

Yes, I've moved test dates twice because of not being ready. You have to select a new test date, and you can only choose from the dates that are currently available for registration (which as of right now are November and January). The fee for that …

That's perfectly normal and exactly how BR review typically works. Obviously since you are untimed and slowly re-checking the questions, your BR will always be higher, and often significantly so. Usually as you progress in studying, you never really…

Seeing that you're not signed up for the 7sage course, I'll fill in a little on typical blind review (BR) here. The standard BR is that as you take a timed prep test, you circle any questions that you're not 100% sure about the answer. Then after y…

@"surfy surf" said: Not sure why you would physically print anything and do it by snail mail. It depends on the school. For schools that don’t use the approved electronic systems, they have to send a physical transcript to LSAC and include t…

That's a tough call. I think I'd lean toward using both academic if you think they'll be strong. If there's a chance one of them wouldn't be as strong, it'd probably be better to use the professional one. It wouldn't hurt to call admissions and ask …

Do you see the place where you select the speed and when you click on it nothing happens, or are you not seeing the speed icon things at all? (FWIW, I'm also on a Mac laptop. They work fine for me in Chrome.)

It's not a stupid question. LSAC makes things as difficult as possible haha. It's a little bit different for every school. For the 2 community colleges I had credit with, I emailed the registrar to ask about requesting transcripts and they sent me …

@LSAT_Wrecker said: @mgzero2 said: Yes, but I don't think in those tests. Think more like 62+ being far harder than anything 1-60. They have shifted from basically wanting simple "deductive" reasoning to shifting to "induc…

Seconding @keets993. I'd say at least get the letter, and you can decide later whether to use it. Once it's submitted to LSAC, then you choose which letters go to which schools. I'd say to send over papers if you have them, transcript, resume, all …

You definitely should do drills and other things besides PTs. PTs are a great way to check in on your progress, but it's best to spend more of your study time focusing on ways to improve, not just taking full tests. RC is obviously going to be a ch…

I think you should not cancel. That sounds like normal post-test panicking. Especially if you don't already have a good score on file. The thing is, you just almost never feel totally good about it after the test. Just because you think you did slig…

I don't believe so, but agreed with @keets993, one of those folks would probably know better.
-
I would say probably no, but you will more than likely have to disclose it. Highly recommend the 7sage admissions course, it's just $10 and has great advice on how to write these.

@"blah blah" said: Are the answer sheets made available upon score release or do they not do that for undisclosed exams? For undisclosed, all you get is your score. No copy of test or answer sheet.

I think for the later tests, there tends to be more nuance in the answer choices. I feel like there are more "trap" answers, choices that are maybe just a shade of meaning away from being correct. In earlier tests, I feel like the wrong answers were…
-
I don't think you need to. I thought originally this was saying 4 takes + 2 cancellations, like you sat for it 6 times. In that case, maybe. 4 takes with 2 cancellations is not too many in my (granted, unprofessional) opinion. That's only 1 more tha…

The best way to go about it is to make sure you are really analyzing the stimulus thoroughly and know what the flaw is. Then, you have to analyze each of the answer choices for flaws. Once you spot a flaw, you have to make sure to check that it's th…

I think if I were you, I'd bounce around a little in the 50s and 60s for drilling since you're close to taking it. And take full PTs in the 70s. The questions (in my opinion) have gotten a little harder, mostly just more nuanced. So you'll want to b…
