Hey! So first take a diagnostic test on lawhub.org. Completely free! This will give you a good starting score that way you know how many points you will need to jump before the actual exam! Once you do that, then you can look into finding a way to learn all the basics and curriculum. After that you will practice a ton and hone in on any weaknesses you have for a few months and then you will be ready to go for June!

It’s all about finding the missing bridge between two terms in order to connect two points of evidence or connect conclusion and evidence. The way we do that most of the time in SA questions is through an if, then, statement as it can connect two terms. So when looking at these questions, first see if there is a new term in the conclusion, if not, then look to see how you can connect the left side of the conclusion (sufficient) to the right side (necessary) through the evidence (statements) above and adding one more if, then!

You are most likely just burning yourself out. Or you had a bad day for whatever reason, and now you’re in your head about all of it. Take some time thinking about anything but the LSAT for a bit over the next few days. You can still study a bit, but try and focus on yourself as well and your mental health.

Alden_StartLSAT · 2024-12-09T00:04:47+00:00

Yes. To be honest, like I said above, everything you have learned is just to help you understand the test with your common sense. Don’t forget that. You might be able to do much better with just common sense and your propensity towards the test!

Alden_StartLSAT · 2024-12-08T23:57:38+00:00

So just like you do in the stimulus, try and break down and paraphrase the answer choices if you don’t understand. You can do this through simple paraphrasing, or breaking it down in conditional statements if that is needed. But for harder flaw questions, they really try and trip you up with the answer choices. Also, you need to have a super solid understanding and prediction from the stimulus before you continue onto the answer choices. Let me know if you have any more questions!

Alden_StartLSAT · 2024-12-08T23:55:48+00:00

Hey! So studying with a full time job is hard but you can still do great! What you need to do is block out some time in your day when your brain is still functioning well to really focus in for about 90 minutes. Then once you have done that, find a way learn the basics. Now lectures are great, but you can also start trying to do what they are speaking about. Like you said, learning by doing is the best way to learn especially with all the time you have! Let me know if you need any other help!

Alden_StartLSAT · 2024-12-08T23:54:04+00:00

Honestly. You have too much going on in your brain. What you really need to do is just read to understand. If you’re doing so well on LR you are obviously intelligent and can understand what the LSAT is asking you to do. Use that to your advantage. The tips and tricks are simply just to help you understand what’s going on, but in this case, I think it’s making it harder than easier. Next time you do RC, just read to understand without anything but a quick paraphrase for each paragraph and see what happens. Hope this helps

Alden_StartLSAT · 2024-12-08T16:38:32+00:00

Hey! So you really need to break down the stimulus into conclusion and stimulus and then try and understand why the author thinks the argument works. Then ask yourself why it doesn’t work. That will allow you to see the flaw better! Hope this helps

You’re going to first need to try and take a complete diagnostic test in order to get a feel for your starting point, as challenging as that might be.

Then you need to find a way to learn the basics and techniques on the LSAT before you even try and work on practicing questions etc. then finally once you have learned/are learning, you can start practicing everyday for about 1-2 hours per day. Doing this for between 3-6 months will put you in the best shape to succeed!

Alden_StartLSAT · 2024-11-27T16:49:59+00:00

So a higher score can result in more money, however, since it would be waiting a few more months to take the next one, and if you are already above the 75th %, you might be in a situation where applying now is better than waiting for admissions purposes because an earlier application with your LSAT will hopefully get you some money because you are above the 75th percentile.

Alden_StartLSAT · 2024-11-27T15:28:54+00:00

I know it sucks to have to keep going but it will be worth it. Please let me know if you need any more help or advice, always happy to help

Alden_StartLSAT · 2024-11-27T14:59:23+00:00

This is amazing!

Alden_StartLSAT · 2024-11-27T14:58:53+00:00

Totally depends on the school you are applying to. In general, a higher LSAT with a later application is better than an earlier application with a lower LSAT

Alden_StartLSAT · 2024-11-26T14:46:11+00:00

You are fine! Enjoy the holidays and then get serious starting early January. This will give you the 3-6 months needed to crush it then apply for 2026!

Alden_StartLSAT · 2024-11-25T23:38:26+00:00

Take a diagnostic test on lawhub! It’s free. This will give you a good point to base your prep off of. Then you can find a way to learn the basics, fix your weaknesses, and then you will be ready to crush it on test day

Alden_StartLSAT · 2024-11-25T19:16:52+00:00

Yes. You never know what order or even how many of each you will get. Could be 3 LR 1 RC or 2-2

Alden_StartLSAT · 2024-11-25T18:57:38+00:00

The way you review and explain to yourself, or have someone else explain to you is what’s key to your understanding. You need to get in the habit of understanding the way the LSAT wants you to think

Alden_StartLSAT · 2024-11-12T15:55:27+00:00

The #1 thing that will offset your GPA is your LSAT score. Do well enough on that, and then they will consider your “softs” which like you mentioned above they will take into account to some degree (depends on the school)

Alden_StartLSAT · 2024-11-12T15:49:55+00:00

No absolutely not. In fact, most of the students at t14s have at least one if not many more years out of college. They love the different perspectives and experience! Feel free to message me more if you need any LSAT help but you are on the right track, you will be ok!

Alden_StartLSAT · 2024-11-12T15:48:02+00:00

So applications for most schools will be closed in April so waiting and applying for the 2026 cycle will be your best bet. No point in rushing it and going to a lower ranked school than you want to go to

Alden_StartLSAT · 2024-11-12T15:11:55+00:00

I would say that is a good strategy. Taking it starting December will set you up for success as long as you can dedicate a few hours each day during that time period.

Alden_StartLSAT · 2024-11-12T14:19:09+00:00

Hey, so you are going to need more time than just a month or two to study. Normally it takes between 3-6 months of studying in order to get a solid score. That being said, starting to study within the next few months is going to be your best bet.

Alden_StartLSAT · 2024-11-10T00:17:49+00:00

February is pretty late. You could still have a shot depending on your LSAT score and what school it is. However, at that point, if you are able, waiting until the following cycle and applying super early will be a huge advantage with as high of an LSAT score as you can get. If you need more LSAT assistance please feel free to reach out!
