I took the June LSAT and plan on retaking in November. I just recently got 7Sage, I am wondering if I should just go through all of the videos and then begin taking practice tests or should I be incorporating practice tests as I go through the videos?

Thank you!

Hey guys thought we could start a list of different/unique ways we've seen this common flaw described in the answer choices. These flaws are so easy to spot sometimes the challenge is wading through how the answer choice obscurely describes them. One that I came across for the first time was the following:

the conditional statement was

A-->B

B

therefore A

the correct answer choice was worded: fails to consider that there are conditions necessary for A in addition to the presence of B

If you guys have any others, please share!

Just wondering if it is better to wait a day after taking a PT to begin the BR process. I usually begin that day after taking the test.

Wanted to see if anyone could share their thoughts / been in a similar position! I'm retaking the LSAT soon and wondering if I should also retake the writing portion. My first writing wasn't bad in terms of structure and argument but it ended abruptly because I ran out of time (was missing two words off the last sentence), and I was wondering if it would be worth it to redo the writing because of it in case it affects admissions.

The internal mic on my computer doesn't work. Does anyone know whether or not it'll be okay for me to use the mic on my earbuds to talk with the proctor, or do I need another kind of external mic that doesn't involve having earbuds in? Thanks!

After getting my score from the August LSAT today I'm totally at a loss. I took my first LSAT in June and scored a 157 which was not where I wanted to be. I then buckled down and studied harder for the August LSAT. I was averaging 163's right before the first go around of the test. I, along with most everyone had problems with my August LSAT. I choose to take it again and I truly felt that the test went well. I got my score back again today and I once again got a 157. I was really hoping to submit my applications as early as possible because I know that the earlier the better. Should I sacrifice this to take the test again? I am just worried that waiting until the end of October (when the October test score comes out) is going to be too long and hurt me in the long run of the admissions process. Please help I am very unsure of what to do at this point and the date to register for the October test closes tomorrow. I have a strong GPA (3.76) and good extra curriculars and I am not trying to make t14 or anything but I still want to get into the best schools that I can.

I am having trouble clear printout of pT 49 , it does not seem to print sections 2, 3 and 4 clearly. Section 4 is particularly bad. I know it is not my printer since I am able to print the other PTs (60s) just fine. I am going to try 50 now.

Any indian students preparing for lsat(global)?

Are they better to send sooner or later? I plan on applying for fall 2021, and I am about half way thru my graduate program. I have a 3.94 GPA. I know graduate transcripts aren't really weighed much but would rather have them see this number than a lower one.

Suggestions??

I have taken 15 PTs since the beginning of May and my scores have ranged from 170-179 with the average being a 175. I have read that this kind of variance above a 170 is not unexpected, but I was wondering if anyone has had a similar experience throughout the last month or so of their prep and how did it translate on test day? I am taking the July exam, so I am feeling a bit nervous haha

So i wished I started preparing for the newer LG types much earlier, but anyways, any tips and suggestions for the ones where the game setup and rules aren't as obvious? Like JY said, put your pencils down and peek at the questions. Any other suggestions? They seem to be getting the better of me.

My worst section is RC, my best is LG but it is still not perfect. I need to take far more practice tests to prepare for the October test, but does anyone have any tips to improve from a 158 to 160's in 6 weeks time?

Is there a good method or trick to eliminate all possible worlds for distributions? I just completed a game and couldn't figure out if I exhausted all possible distributions or not. I usually guess for the most part.

thanks.

Hello! So.. my worst case scenario came true. I took the January 2023 LSAT for the first time, did not do great, and cancelled my score. I took the LSAT for a second time in September and managed to score worse by TWO points than the Jan LSAT I cancelled. I am really stressing out about if I should cancel my score or keep it - only if it would really look that bad to T-14 schools to have two cancellations. For context, I am also registered for the October 2023 exam. My September score is MUCH lower than any of my target school averages, and so I want to cancel the score but don't know if there's any merit to avoiding having two cancellations on my record. The September test was a bit of a fluke for me as I panicked and really got in my head during the exam.

I appreciate anyone's help!

Just in case you need another prediction

Hello,

I am unable to blind review. When I complete the test and click the blind review option, I review it but I am then unable to view my answers. Does anyone have a video tutorial on how to view the answers- post conducting the blind review?

Thanks

Are you allowed to have colored pens/highlighters during the real proctored exam? I study better when I highlight during my logic games outlines, and I wanted to know if the online proctor would get mad if I brought them out? I don't have any accomodations, and I wanted to know if that would work to bring out colored pens/highlighters for my scrap paper

Regarding valid & Invalid arguments is there a list that outlines "Not flawed" arguments? For example, I know that conditional statement i.e.

A-->B

A

-----

B

if structured properly makes this a valid argument,

but are there other ways that the test-makers are testing for such as

causality...

The reason I ask is that from what I can tell so far, is that causality is a method that the test-makers use in the arguments, and yet, they are also flawed causality arguments and we are to find an answer choice that shows their error in the causal relationship.

So I'm using the term valid argument in this post loosely to better clarify my question.

Are there other methods the test-makers use to construct arguments or are there all going to be just conditional or causal?

Thanks

I am taking the Feb 2016 test and looking for friends to study with!! Let me know if your in the area.

I'm currently in NYC (LES), just graduated, and determined to devote my entire summer to studying for the LSATs so I can take the upcoming September 2017 LSAT. I think it would be mutually helpful to BR with someone else!

I have a schedule set up to take every preptest between 36-80. I'm also in the September 2017 study group on Sundays at 7PM. I made my schedule to cater around that one. Please let me know if you're interested!

Whoops sorry didn't look at the sticky,

disregard this post!

Hello I was wondering what other people have done to improve logical reasoning and reading comphrehension I have been stuck at the same score for a long time and I don't understand what I may be doing wrong anyone have tips for when they got stuck? I am taking the august lsat so no logic games.

Hey everyone,

In CC v1 the PrepTest scheduling was integrated into the Study Schedule Generator. Saw that everything's been moved to the PrepTest tab, is there any way to maintain the PrepTest scheduling with the new Study Scheduler?

Thanks!
