What time do scores come out tomorrow?

I signed up for the LSAT in Jan but it made me sign up for a physical testing site. I'm assuming they'll circle back because its Flex. How does this work? Do I just wait until LSAC emails me? Any idea when that'll be?

How do you consistently get -1 (or -0) on recent LG (~70s)? I now linger somewhere around -4 ~ -0 on recent tests because at times there is an odd question stimulus, a completely time-sink for me (which often takes me 12-15 min to tackle it).

I am hesitating what should be my primary focus: drill those bizarre, hard time sinks, or other easier ones to bank more time (so I could have more time to tackle a hard one of a given section) ?

Thanks!

Hello everyone!

I want to take the Jan LSAT and wanted to know if you think is doable. Im not working right now, so I can study full time.

Im not new with the LSAT

I appreciate any suggestion.

Hi everyone - 7Sage recently updated some of the target times listed for logic games. They used to be just JY's recommended times (10min, 6min, etc), but now it's more specific and according to @"Theo --Student Service--": "The system calculates your target time based on collected data from top scorers." https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/25465/explanation-vids-now-showing-target-times

I've noticed that for some sections, the total of the 4 games target times exceeds 35 minutes. For example, for PT17 & 21. Just an FYI to be careful since even if you meet the targets, the overall section will still be over 35 minutes.

Okay so in this one I chose AC A at first glance, but after spending 20 minutes trying to understand why A is wrong I think I've finally got it.

A) Some babies utter individual words that they do not understand

I understand that we don't actually know if the conditional is true because it's nested, and since with most answer choices there are often multiple reasons why a wrong one is wrong. I tried to start looking for any reason and came up with the following: dictionary definition (in the conclusion) vs. do not understand (in AC A)

In my mind I was inferring that 'these babies do not understand words' FROM the statement that 'clearly there are people who do not know the dictionary definition of some words they utter'.

I understand why AC E is right but need clarification on if this shift is a valid reason for crossing off AC A. Maybe there are babies who do understand without knowing the actual dictionary definition.

One last question: are questions with the stem 'which follows logically' an MBT question? I sort of saw this as a soft assumption question but wasn't able to categorize it in my mind. If someone could clarify what this type of question is that would be very helpful. Thank you!

Does anyone know when the November Scores are going to be released? Want to see if I need to sign up the January LSAT or not

Hey all -- I'm looking to increase my speed on LR and RC. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Here's a breakdown of how I usually approach the sections:

LR: I average roughly a -3 per section and I rarely miss a question in BR. However, I tend to finish with very little time left and occasionally drop an easier question because I don't have the time to return to it. Also, if the section isn't going particularly well, I might not get around to a lengthier PR or PF question.

RC: My greatest score variability is in RC. I average a -5 per section and sometimes miss questions in BR. During timed sections, I usually start with the comparative reading. I'll read Passage A and then run through the questions once before returning to passage B. I've found that this is an effective method for getting questions right, but I usually spend too much time doing this (compared to J.Y's suggestions). I then have to push harder on the remaining passages. For a normal passage, I tend to spend more time on the passage (say 4-5 minutes) and move through the questions fairly quickly. I usually finish the RC section with about 30 seconds left.

88.2.21 for me, followed by 88.2.24. Two best modern LR questions IMO. 24 killed my perfect section on that PT.

I need help understanding why the correct answer is correct. I eliminated A and B because I felt they were both hypotheticals that could not be proven given the information. I took out D because I could not show the standards had risen higher than any other college's and took out C because the proportion of students who are not Marylanders may have decreased, but the number of students could have remained the same. I just don't get why E is correct. And for this stimulus, is "proportion" the same thing as percentage?

Any help appreciated!

Hi everyone! I've been studying for about a year now and I've seen a big improvement in all sections except RC. My score will range from -3 to -7 depending on the exam and I consistently want to score less than -3. Does anyone have any advice for improving on RC?

“I’m more specifically wondering how to execute the fool proof system. How many logic games sections should I fool proof in order to feel confident that I have mastered the language of the test? Should I fool proof logic games by type or simply fool proof by exam?”

I have not gone through the entire LR course on here, I have done able 1/3 of it and had to go through some of the lessons multiple times but it's just not clicking. My average is -10 and my average BR is -9. Anyone else having the same issue, tips to help understand LR or know of better study material for LR?

Please help explain this question.

Hey everyone, so I'm having some trouble with the valid/invalid section of the core curriculum. I know I need to make flashcards but I feel like I've made them wrong by putting the "premises and conclusion" on the front and then on the back whether "valid or invalid." I feel like that is not very helpful to determining the inferences. Does anyone have any suggestions of how they did their flashcards or how I should be presenting valid/invalid on flashcards. I can't really move on per-se until these forms have been engrained in my brain. Thanks everyone.

So I’ve been using Pacifico’s famous LG foolproof method for PT 1-32 (so far) and all the LG sections on full practice tests I’ve taken. But I’m still struggling with speed and average between minus 2~4 per section. I’d like to reach -0 consistently.

Usually when I foolproof the games after watching JYs videos or on the next day I’m super fast but when I revisit them in like a month (or even later), I’m still not reaching my target time (which is max. 7-8 minutes per game, on average).

I’m wondering if I should switch up how I foolproof the games? Should I start foolproofing by game type instead of full sections? How often should I foolproof so that making inferences becomes second nature (without memorizing the game/answer choices)? Or is sticking to foolproofing full sections the best method?

Any insight would be appreciated!

Do anybody have any suggestions on what to do when you're down to two answers and don't know which one to pick?

I'm highly concerned as I did not note shifting in meaning of the word 'anarchy' to be a flaw in this question stem. I am trying to understand why exactly the key word's shift in meaning weakens this argument? I realize that it shifts in the main conclusion when they use it as an example of chaos but how exactly does that make it vulnerable?

My thoughts: if the author shifts in this meaning maybe we can't trust the author in general? ( sorry if that sounds stupid I'm just trying to understand why so I can get inside the LSAT writers heads.(/p)

Thanks to anyone who helps me out!

Did anyone else find this section particularly hard? Granted I did it at 9:30PM when my brain is usually not the best but it really killed my confidence as I was seeing improvement in RC.

Can someone please explain to me how B weakens the argument and not D?

Would really appreciate an explanation on why E is the correct answer choice. The use of math in the stimuli always kills me:/

On average how many times do you read the logical reasoning stimulus before you start reading the answer choices ?

Ive written the LSAT before and scored a 150. I am writing in Jan 2021. Last time i studied, I felt like I knew the concepts decently well. I was pting about 160 and even got up to a 168 at one point. But I was being very lenient with my self on time. Come test day I completley freaked out and my anxiety took over me resulting in a 150.

I am BR-ing at about 160 currently. Its taking me some time to refresh some concepts in my mind but I am not necessarily worried about knowledge. I am looking for some help with strategies to deal with the timing aspect of it and not freaking out. Even when I sit down for practice tests I get super anxious and I can't think straight, let alone get through a test. Any advice would be super helpful! :(

For reference, I reside in Canada and have applied to Canadian law schools. My gpa is solid so I really only need around a 160 to get into the schools of my choice.

LG I would say is my strongest.

LR is decent, average about -7

RC is my worst. I have thought about just doing the three passages and trying to do them well ensuring i get the most possible questions correct and then if theres time remaining make educated guesses on the last passage. I would do this to make sure im doing the passages with the most questions first, and with the assumption that im doing well on my other sections. Do ypu guys think this a good strategy or do you have any other tips?

Any help is greatly appreciated!! :)

I am aggressively bad at the reading comprehension. Sometimes I get like a 9/27 on the reading (I know, that's terrible) even when I feel confident. Does anyone have any tips that helped them score better on reading comprehension?

For those of you who've read Ellen Cassidy's The Loophole -- I know that she strongly recommends reading the stimulus and designing the CLIR before reading the question stem, but I personally find that it's a better strategy to read the stem first, as I tend to overanalyze/overlook parts of the stimulus. Also for questions like main point or argument part, I feel like it's a waste of time to be analytical about the argument (not necessarily during blind review but at least under timed conditions) when all you need to do is identify the conclusion/role of a sentence in the stimulus.

Do you guys find value sticking to her advice of reading the stimulus first, or is it okay to use her CLIR method yet read the stem first?
