Been over a month on my end and nothing.

PrepTest B - Section 4 - Question 24

Hi! I wasn't sure why E was the answer over C. #help please!

Admin Note: Edited title. Please use the format: "PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of the question."

I have read online that there is a logical reasoning v2 curriculum. Could someone please tell me how to switch to that?

Prep Test 40 Section 3 Question 1

So for this question, I initially had the correct thought process that brought me to B, but then I decided that B was a trick answer due to a previous question that I had in prep test 89, section 2, question 24. This was a weaken except question. The correct answer was C, because it said that most workers are paid much more than the current minimum wage, but C does not do anything to weaken because it does not specify by how much more workers are paid, so you do know if it is sufficient to affect the prompt at all.

I had the same thought process for Prep Test 40 Section 3, Question 1. The correct answer here is B. I understand why the other answers do not resolve the discrepancy, but by following the same logic for Prep Test 89, I do not see how this answer resolves the issue. If big budget movies often gross two or three times more than cost of production, how do we know from answer B that there are enough small or medium budget movies made to be greater than the big budget revenue? It is is the same language of "much more" are made, that does nothing for the weaken question, and yet resolves this question. Could you help me understand this?

Hey everyone!

LSAC has provided updates on the changes they're making to the October 2023 LSAT schedules that will begin on September 26 with staggered scheduling windows.

"Center-Only" schedules will take place on September 26 and 27, where only testers who want to test in a test center are able to select their time on a staggered schedule based on the testing date they want. Remote scheduling will not be available on these two dates.

"Remote-Only" schedules will be on September 28 and 29, where only testers who wish to test remotely will be able to select their time on a staggered schedule based on the testing date they want. During these two days, scheduling for in-person LSAT testing will not be available.

Any changes to appointments can be made starting on September 30. On this day, test takers who either could not schedule or wish to alter their existing appointment will have the ability to do so for all testing modalities and dates.

I have a quick question about drilling specific game types. I have finished the lessons on pure sequencing and am about to move onto Sequencing games with a twist. In the videos explaining the sequencing problem sets, J.Y says to practice practice practice. I have done so and have finished each game down to an average of 6 or 7 minutes (in the problem sets) but there are sometimes where I forget the inferences that have been made and it takes me longer sometimes. Should I just focus on drilling sequencing before moving onto sequencing games with a twist? Or complete the sequencing games with a twist and then practice at the end both types of sequencing games (pure and twist)? Any help would be appreciated!

Context: I plan on taking the April 2024 LSAT so I feel I would have enough time to just focus alone but I would love to hear other perspectives!

Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew when we would be able to schedule our exam for the October 2023 LSAT?? I am freaking out and scared that I somehow missed the window since the date is approaching

I took the September retake option due to technical difficulties. Does anyone know if we get our scores with the regular September test takers, or is it delayed?

PrepTest B - Section 1 - Question 01

I'm overall just confused about this question. Option A paraphrases the first sentence so why was the answer E

I want to see the explanation video for my drill question but it says discuss instead? How can I see the explanation video

Hi! I was wondering if anyone would like to join a study group with me. I am currently aiming for the October & November cycle and would like to review LR/RC! Please let me know if interested :)

In Oscar's argument, he mentions "..and thus a country's economic well-being will not be a function of its geographical position..."

What the hell is "function of geographical position"? I have no idea what this means.

Does being northern or southern itself implicates any function? or does "economic well-being" serves as a function?

I get the idea that generally north is rich and south is poor as presupposed in the stimuli but simply don't understand that phrase.

Can somebody help?

I picked C, but I'm still struggling to understand the stimulus. Please help!

I'm going through some of the core curriculum after doing a comprehensive study book with Kaplan, and I'm doing some drills now. Would you suggest I hold myself to time constraints during those drills? For example, I just completed a 5 question drill set with a pretty difficult question (5 stars) that I ended up getting correct, but it took me 5 minutes when the suggested time was 1:33. I know there's BR too, I'm just not sure if it is worth it to do timed practice right now.

I am FURIOUS. The deadline was 31 August and I submitted on the 15th. I remember it clear as day, going through the form, uploading my evidence, and it said my request had been received. I chased it because I thought 4 weeks was a long time for them to decide, and they are telling me I never submitted them. I can’t sit without my accommodations and as an international student the next sitting is in January. I feel like they’ve totally scuppered my law school chances and I hate how they’re telling me I didn’t do something I know I did!!! Any advice? :(

Does anyone have any tips on how to master logic games in general?

So I understood that to weaken the claim against alternative medicine in the stimulus, I needed to find an answer showing any evidence that alternative medicine is effective. I also see that D does this in a more specific way than C.

I was stuck between C and D, but I ultimately eliminated D because it didn’t specifically connect alternative medicine to the bodily effects of a patient believing in their treatment. For D to be right, I’d have to assume that the “medical treatment” the patient believes in is alternative medicine, and not orthodox medicine.

I chose C because it actually connects alternative medicine to an “effect,” even if that effect is something less tangible like hope. D would be a much better answer if it explicitly connected a patient's belief in alternative medicine to bodily effects, but it doesn't. It just describes the effects of a patient's belief in their medical treatment, which could be either alternative or orthodox medicine.

When I’m choosing between two answers, I’ve learned to choose the answer that requires me to make fewer assumptions and leaps. But this question is making me question that entire strategy. How can I safely assume that the “medical treatment” in answer choice D refers to alternative medicine? There isn't anything in the stimulus, question stem, or answer choice that allows me to make that assumption, so I must be missing something.

Can anyone help me understand how it's a warranted assumption that "medical treatment" in D refers to alternative medicine? I'm stumped.

I thought the answer was B because they both seemed to disagree about the finical aspect of the building

Hi all,

If you're interested in joining a study group where all we do is co-work on zoom, keep each other accountable via imessage and support each other message/ or comment below!

This isn't meant to be a study group where we review questions and Blind Review, but rather an accountability group for people who struggle to keep a consistent schedule and need a little more support. (This is especially a great group if you struggle with ADHD, anxiety/ are neurodivergent or not!)

If you are the type of person that loves hyping/supporting other people and appreciates words of encouragement this is the group for you :)

Is anyone else taking the October LSAT? Scheduling hasn't come out yet and I am wondering when to sign up???

Hi, so to give a little background.

I've been studying for about two months going from 151 diagnostic to 164 currently. I'm proud of my progress with RC being my best naturally and I've seen the most gains in LG, though I definitely need to improve there as well. LR has been my toughest opponent and probably what I've spent the most time on. I currently sit at around -4 to -7, progressing from an initial -10. The biggest thing I see is my problem accuracy is not very much of a pattern. My wrong questions are always different types and another thing is I see I often get like 3-4 of my wrong answers in a row. I was looking for any tips to address improvement at this current performance point in LR. Any tips are greatly appreciated. Thank You!

Can someone help with this question!

Can someone please explain why C is correct?

I keep bombing at LR. No matter which question types I drill, I keep getting half or more than half wrong. I write in the Blind Review / Wrong Answer Journal. I blind review each question. But even in blind review I still get the question wrong! What is discouraging is seeing the stats on Curve column an seeing that no one or a small percentage of people got the same answer choice as I did. Then looking at the scorers on the same Curve column, I see its a question that was in the 130s to 140s (an "easy" question), which makes it more discouraging. I have been taking my time, not using the stop clock, and STILL get so many wrong!

My strength is in LG, which for every game, I get -0 to -1 wrong, both timed and un-timed. A bit of background: I have some computer coding skills under my belt, so LG reminds me a lot of when I would create code in Python and Javascript. I prefer to see logic as "If X, then Y" terminology as it is easier for me to understand the flow. Is there a way I can use my LG brain to work for me in LR?

I have noticed a peculiar trend where the LR questions that I tend to miss most are not the ones that I flag but instead the random other ones. I realized that I almost never miss the questions I flag but I miss the ones that I don't flag.
