I am taking the Oct and Nov LSAT but I haven't taken a practice test in a month. I keep planning on taking them but then I get scared seeing if my score won't increase. Does anyone else go through this or know how to overcome it? I know I have to take them in order to improve my score but I am scared to see no improvement after another month of studying and doing better on my drills.

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.

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

I usually do well on Logical reasoning from questions 1 to 15 but I seem to consistently get the answer wrong , for some reason its like the same technique I use on these questions do not work the same after question 15, is there any advice on how to improve specifically on Logical Reasoning questions after 15?

Hey 7Sagers,

Here's the official September 2023 LSAT Discussion Thread.

REMINDER: Under your Candidate Agreement, you may not discuss the details of any specific LSAT questions at any time. For the September 2023 LSAT, general discussion of what sections you had, or how difficult you found a given section, or speculation about which sections were scored or unscored, is prohibited until after 9pm ET, Tuesday, September 12th.

Posts that violate these rules will be taken down and may result in disciplinary action from LSAC. Let’s work together to ensure the test is fair to everyone, and not share information before everyone has taken the test.

Some examples of typical comments:

✅ The following comments are okay 🙆‍♀️

  • the section on Cambodian woodworking really had me second guessing everything.

  • a few of the games had me confused but think I was okay.

  • overall fair test, struggled on a couple of RC passages (damn you polymorphic molecules) but think I was okay hoping for a -2 or -3

    • ❌ The following comments are over the line 🙅‍♂️

  • the passage on Cambodian woodworking didn’t count.

  • I had Cambodian woodworking, Fireflies, and rice farming in Iowa so Lithuanian Lithograph Libraries was experimental.

  • fair test but struggled on a couple RC passages (polymorphic molecules anyone? Thankfully it didn’t count). Don’t want to take again in June

  • Anyone know if Polygamist Societies in the 1880s was real or experimental?

  • Please tell me that polygon dice game didn’t count

    • Good luck to everyone taking the September 2023 LSAT!

    **Please keep all discussions of the September 2023 LSAT here!**(/red)

    Hey y'all, so I know this is a stupid question, but can anyone explain to me what it means for something to be a sufficient condition? I understand it practically in using Lawgic to work through LR questions, but for some reason I can't explain it clearly with words. Thank you in advance!!!

    To clarify, using pen to set up fixed rules/board/pieces, and using pencil to work out questions and then erasing, instead of rewriting out boards multiple times.

    I go back and forth and I’m undecided.

    Biggest pro with erasing is that I finish games way faster. But those few and far between questions where having past question boards available to review is the only drawback I’ve encountered.

    Anyone else have experience or thoughts??

    Hello! Could I get some outside opinions to break down why A is more correct than D? My thought process was:

    "Few" people are influenced... in the shoes of the columnist, I'm thinking, ANY amount of people being influenced is worth banning these polls if it doesn't have any negative consequences to do so. If this had said "no" people, then I would have chosen it.

    If the polls show late gains in popularity, that could be useful information to voters; did something happen leading up to the elections to cause shifting tides? Could certainly be good information to know, which would be something to point out in the argument to not ban polls.

    I'm confused about which two candidates specifically don't contribute to the overall goal of the proposal.

    (1) Interfere with mosquito ability to find mates

    (2) Cause destruction of disease parasite before stage where it can be transmitted

    (3) Disable mechanism of mosquito's own resistance to disease

    Goal: Introduce mosquitos with genetic alterations that destroy disease-carrying capacity.

    Is it (1) and (3), based on the assumption that the primary goal revolves around "carrying," specifically?

    I chose C because I thought it would be strengthening the argument by suggesting there is suspicion of extraterrestrial life and the government is withholding information because they are hiding the truth. The only reason I didn't choose B because of the only if statement. Can someone explain why C is incorrect please.

    I am not struggling with SA as much but am consistently getting 1-2 PSAr questions wrong on every test - is there anything else I can refer to learn more about PSAr or how to address these types of questions? I did look through the Lesson but was only able to find a video on solving a PSAr question. Thank you!

    I am planning on taking in person in October. For August, there was a specific day where we scheduled our test time and date online using the Prometric site. Have they released what day that is for the October test? I have not seen an email about it.

    I need clarify on what the complete and accurate list question is really asking for.

    Should I consider all solutions across the entire game, for example "complete and accurate list for all entities which can occupy space 3?" Here I might consider all possible solutions across different "worlds" for each game.

    Or does LSAC want all possibilities within a "world" for the game, ex/ in a grouping game in which you group entities into groups a, b, c. Within a specific solution only 3 variables could go there, but across all worlds maybe 4 could go there?

    I am a stage 3 cancer patient taking the October test. I requested accommodations because my treatments and surgical procedures have affected me physically and cognitively, but I haven't heard back, and it's been almost two weeks. I called LSAC but was told to wait a few days before calling again if I still don't have a response. Any advice on what to do next? I'm getting a little worried.

    I took the August 2020 LSAT blind and scored a 162 with no study (and not even knowing all of the sections).

    I just finished studying for 6 weeks and took the August 2023 LSAT and scored a 159. I didn't finish (guessed completely on the last game as I ran out of time) and I didn't have any extra time left over for one of the LR sections (very unusual as I normally have around 3 min to review). I am testing again in October or November, depending on if I think I am catching the holes in my studying. I was PTing between 163-168.

    Should I cancel my August 2023 score? I'm really on the fence.

    Hi!

    Could someone please teach me how to schedule your time for remote testing?? I am taking the October one.

    Have been trying to do it on Prometric but it gives you testing locations instead of options for remote setting, and I am very confused... Thanks in advance!

  • I chose D because the mention of "examples". However I overlooked the word "intent" in this answer choice, which makes it incorrect, because the author never indicated that JAM has the monarch's "intent" wrongly interpreted, they simply argues that the monarchs have failed in actually managing to use Baroque as a means to control the population, and gave examples.

  • B accurately expresses the point about the strategy's failure on the monarch's part, which the author offers in their qualification paragraph.

    I was wondering why you can't use C as a contrapositive?

    I interpreted C as Universal feature + not invention -> innate ability

    /innate ability -> /universal feature or /not invention

    It says money is an artificial invention unlike language, which is an innate ability

    And it says money is universal

    So couldn't money -> /innate ability -> /universal feature or /not invention, and since it is a universal feature, can conclude /not invention? Or is the mistake that I am interpreting /not invention to mean invention, when it simply means it's not not an invention?

    Thanks.
