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.

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

    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.

    Hello everyone I was hoping to gain some advice from other people experienced/ currently taking the LSAT. I took the LSAT after 1 month of studying in June 2023 and got a 155. I studied solidly for 2 more months and planned to take the August sitting. Like many of us, I had proctoring issues in the first take of the August 2023 LSAT so I opted for a retake a week later which I also had (less) but still some distracting proctoring issues which lead me to loose focus and completely panic but I still decided to not cancel my score as I was hopeful even though I was completely thrown off I could still do well. My score unfortunately dropped to a 154 which is around 8 points below what I was averaging/ hoping to get on the test day. I have signed up to retake it in October but am unsure about whether I should cancel the August score considering it isn't even that different to my June score and a cancellation could indicate that I actually did far worse than 155. Further, if something goes wrong in October I would hate to have a double cancellation on my application. My current gut feeling is to not cancel it and leave it as is but I would appreciate some advice. Thank you :)

    Hi! I previously took the LSAT and got a 172 last Fall. I decided not to apply last year, but as I am applying this year I want to retake it and score 175+ in October.

    I am scoring 172-174 on Ptests currently as I review again. I am on EST and would be flexible to review online as my last day at work is coming up next week.

    A big fat sincere Thank You to everybody who makes discussion posts and comments on JY's lessons. I swear I've read hundreds of them that made me laugh or helped me understand questions. You guys are the unsung heroes. You helped me get through hundreds and hundreds of hours of question review. Keep it up and don't forget, "Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage". Just wanted to say thanks

    My first official LSAT score was 129. Not a diagnostic literally an official 129 5 years ago while I was a senior in college in 2018. 129-139-145-149-145-157!!!! Don’t ever give up! I literally watched so many friends and colleagues of mine get into and graduate from Law School before I could even get a LSAT score in the 150s. I felt like such a failure. Do not give up ever!!! The test is learnable it can be done. Thank y’all for all the tips.

    I took the LSAT for the first time in August and scored a 156. I am retaking in October and applying for Fall 2024. Should I cancel or keep my score? My problem was timing as I ran out of time on the test. I am confident that I can improve my October score by increasing my speed. My fear is that if I cancel this score and do not do well in October that I will be screwed when it comes to getting my application in this cycle. Any advice?

    Feeling very discouraged as I was scoring in the 165-169 range on my PTs and got my score back in the high 150s from the August test. I got test anxiety as I was taking it and ran into timing as an issue which does not usually happen. I knew after I took the August test it would not be my best, but I didn't think I would go down that drastically from my average PTs. I am taking the September test and also registered for the October one just in case. I know I can get a much better score, but I am feeling a little bit deflated now. Anyone have any advice or also has had this experience?
