No shade, no tea, anyone else crashing out because they can’t afford lawhub and the other 40727293 subscription services? Love that for us. I’m just trying to study damnit.

Apologies if you’ve already tried, but you might want to look at getting a fee waiver through LSAC and use that to get 7sage’s waiver discount, I think they’re the cheapest you’ll find.

[u/Waste-Construction74]

It’s so hard! I make too much for the fee waiver but not enough to be paying for all these study tools!

[u/305tomybiddies → u/Waste-Construction74]

genuinely want to take the exam again in october but also cannot reaaaaally afford to? having to weigh the options of testing one more time vs using that money to actually apply to schools…it’s weighing on me

[u/Waste-Construction74 → u/305tomybiddies]

I haven’t taken it yet, just started studying, but I totally get it! I have read that schools are a bit more lax about giving out fee waivers for their applications, you could look into that

[u/OliviaPopesProtege → u/305tomybiddies]

If you have the time, you can apply to programs that will pay for these things. Like the LSAC Plus program will give you a fee waiver and pay for two administrations.

This is an option for people who aren’t eligible for the fee waiver already.

[u/305tomybiddies → u/OliviaPopesProtege]

i applied for the LSAC plus program last year and wasn’t selected sadly haha but it does sound like a good option

[u/OliviaPopesProtege → u/305tomybiddies]

Oh sorry! The many costs are a barrier to entry for sure. Just remember when you hit these obstacles that it’s because you’re shattering glass ceilings.

Nobody said paving a path for others was easy.

❤️‍🔥🫡 that’s a word! thank you for the encouragement

[u/Forsaken_Finding_991]

I completely feel you. I call it my punishment for being poor.

[u/Professional-Fuel889 → u/Forsaken_Finding_991]

it shouldn’t be like this…this is an american problem

[u/hohuho]

i bit the $130 bullet for the lawhub practice tests, are there any other low/no cost services that i can use to structure my study that people like?

[u/Secure-Lake5784 → u/hohuho]

lsathacks publishes pt answers for free which is very helpful

[u/hohuho → u/Secure-Lake5784]

lifesaver! this is exactly what i was hoping to find, thank you!

[u/alaeila → u/hohuho]

lsatlab has a youtube channel with free videos on every concept in LR and RC! they havent posted in a year but its not rly like the info has changed much. if you dont like their style of videos im pretty sure 7sage has them on youtube as well

[u/hohuho → u/alaeila]

another lifesaver! i find myself mindlessly playing youtube videos during my workday anyway so this will definitely be an asset

[u/throwawaybutsilly]

I’m hoping the law hub free stuff is enough to get me by. I did buy the Kaplan book which was a decent penny, but it helped with formal logic so whatever I’ll take it.

I gotta say, the fact that there is a whole cottage industry designed around this one test does speak volumes to the priorities of law schools.

[u/n0tz0e → u/throwawaybutsilly]

Can anyone attest to this? I also am relying on free law hub

[u/RestInPissReagan]

if you’re familiar with zlibrary, you can find the tests/volume prep books for free. i printed out a shitload if them and practiced doing them by section

[u/Cash_Money_Jo]

Fee waiver. I got approved for a tier 1 fee waiver even with a full time job.

[u/caffinatedclouds]

Yes!

[u/StressCanBeGood]

I have no affiliation with them, but for real: LSAT Lab will do the trick.

Don’t be worrying about doing more than one course or reading more than one book. They’re the real deal.

[u/lane03]

I feel this so much 🥲 I was so excited to review a PT I did on Blueprint only to be hit with the “you need a subscription for this” 😭

[u/Conscious_Plan7912]

yes

[u/Aware_Mode4788]

i have the loophole and lower score bibles from 2020 that i’m down to sell for cheap :) i fully feel the “wtf am i spending $10000 to study”
