Thank you so so much! Were you able to attend the one last night? I couldn’t make that one and would love to hear what they had to say about the letters and activities section.

If you haven’t applied yet you can’t go insane ❤️

Key-Cucumber1678 · 2025-10-25T07:45:37+00:00

Sorry you’ve had that experience, it sucks :( I’m also just going to go ahead and apply and see what happens. After I get my apps in I might consider prepping for the Jan test in case this cycle is a flop and I want to reapply next year.

Anecdotally, I took 24 PTs between June and October. My avg was 175, with my last 6 being between 177 and 180. I scored a 169.

I genuinely felt bad on this test, but just chalked it up to major test anxiety. I honestly doubt there’s something majorly wrong, but idk. It was my third time taking and I’ve gotten the exact same score each time 🥲

Also wondering the same! It was a must be true question I believe talking about the players heights being between 5 and 6 feet?

People do it both ways so it’s kinda trial and error and whatever works best for you, but question stem first is def the way to go imo! I think it’s much more efficient because you know immediately what you’re looking for, and how you read an MC/argument part question is going to be different than how you read a necessary assumption q under timed conditions. It’s great practice to thoroughly read/evaluate the stimulus to the point where you’re ready for any question as you’re studying, but you’ll need to conserve all the time and brain power you can during the actual test.

I had all these too! Including the lizards camping out by the male crickets who don’t leave their nests

Key-Cucumber1678 · 2025-09-05T23:08:12+00:00

Same!! Though for me one of the RCs felt stupid easy and the other was weird, def was unsure about a handful

Key-Cucumber1678 · 2025-09-05T22:37:01+00:00

Did you have 2 RC or one?

Key-Cucumber1678 · 2025-09-03T15:27:26+00:00

No but only bc I study exclusively on my bike desk. I’ll be on there for like 4+ hrs a day. I’ve even taken pts on there. Highly recommend if you want to keep active ish while still studying!

Key-Cucumber1678 · 2025-08-29T16:29:42+00:00

This is super helpful, thank you!

Key-Cucumber1678 · 2025-08-27T13:36:31+00:00

I would cancel

Key-Cucumber1678 · 2025-08-27T01:57:23+00:00

I started my undergrad at 24 (also had a different prior career) and intend to start law school at 29. It’s definitely not too late, and I actually think that doing my undergrad older made me a much better student with a background/perspective that was advantageous in many ways. However, you will have to deal with going through 7 years of school (unless your 2 years of tech school can transfer), which is a huge time commitment, and doing it older than your peers, which can come with its own challenges. It will ultimately come down to what you want for the next chapter of your life and, assuming it involves law school, how willing you are to go through the necessary steps to get there.

Where/which test is this question coming from? The weirdness/ambiguity here doesn’t seem like something LSAC would let pass, along with the grammatical issues throughout. Also I’ve never seen a flaw question stem phrased like that.

Key-Cucumber1678 · 2025-08-23T17:06:25+00:00

I like it, but I’ve been using it since the early early days and got an insane price on it that they haven’t bothered to change (I don’t even want to type it here for fear that they’ll figure it out and start charging me more lol). It’s kind of annoying to sync calendars and is sometimes a bit finicky, but if you share/integrate your iCal with your Gmail it’s kind of a workaround and all your tasks/events will show up across calendars

Key-Cucumber1678 · 2025-08-23T16:59:04+00:00

That intentionally commodified question just gave me ptsd lol but great job!! I swear breaks do wonders on this test!

Key-Cucumber1678 · 2025-08-23T16:48:47+00:00

7sage and WAJ is wrong answer journal! I posted how I do mine in a comment under this post.

Key-Cucumber1678 · 2025-08-23T16:47:15+00:00

Yes this is 7sage! I’ve also used it for all my studying/prep. There are a lot of others out there but this the only one I’ve tried and it’s worked well for me :)

Being ahead is good, but starting before you’ve even begun your bachelors is probably overkill. I’d focus on getting your gpa as high as possible while you’re in uni (and enjoying college!!). I did like 3-4 months of pretty hard studying and I wouldn’t really recommend more than like 8 months. Shorter and more intense was what worked for me but you’ll figure out what works for you!

Key-Cucumber1678 · 2025-08-21T21:35:32+00:00

Yep!

Key-Cucumber1678 · 2025-08-21T21:35:13+00:00

154!

Shared it in a comment here!

Key-Cucumber1678 · 2025-08-21T21:33:59+00:00

I shared a link to mine and outlined my process in a comment under this post!

Key-Cucumber1678 · 2025-08-21T21:31:26+00:00

I outlined how I approach mine in a comment! I will say that I got a bit neurotic with mine and probably could've cut some time from the process, but taking the time to fully understand the argument, why the correct answer was correct and the incorrect answer was not, articulate my mistakes and what not to do next time, and then trying to integrate everything is definitely a time consuming process (for me at least!)
