So I just got back my January score and I am feeling very defeated and dissapointed. I’m not giving up though. I am trying to decide if I should sign up for June of July. I know July gives you your score instantly I am just worried about the digital tests I know they give you scratch paper for LG. Will they be giving scratch paper for LR? I know it is highly based on logic so I like writing next to the statements. That is just my one worry.

I scored badly and this is my second time taking the exam. I do not know what to do anymore and how to approach it.

Hey All,

I scored a 146 on the November 2019 LSAT with three weeks of preparation. My target score is a 165. I took December off and started studying again 6 weeks ago. I have been studying about 2-3 hours everyday and the highest practice score I have reached is a 152. My question is: Even though I’m registered for the March LSAT should I cancel by registration since my PT’s are not higher than a 152 and take the June LSAT instead? I want to start law school in the fall of 2019 and it seems like the March LSAT is my last chance to gain acceptance in the fall. Can I make significant gains in 45 days or should I simply wait till June? Thank to all!

Guys, I seem to have improved a lot on the LG section, all thanks to JY's video explanations, etc.. Just wanted some feedback on the LR section , which is where I mainly seem to be getting stuck.. Am registered for the March LSAT and am really hoping to be able to improve by then in that section. For some reason doing PTs / powerscore bible / LSAThacks explanations still don't seem to be doing it for me to really crack that section.. Any advice on what is the best resource for improving LR score? Did you guys see a marked improvement after JY's LR tutorials?

My last 4 PTs fall between 162-164, in reviewing these I've been able to establish where my weakness is.. but I genuniely am at a loss for how to improve.

I completed PT60 (June'10) yesterday and scored 162. I am able to accept my LG and LR missed questions, because I've learned why I was wrong and the why the correct answer is correct.

However, RC is another story entirely. I consistently missed 10-11 questions in this section, and not necessary because I run out of time. I typically finish the last passage with about 2-3 minutes to review anything I was unsure about.

Anyhow, ANY ADVICE IS GREATLY APPRECIATED! If someone wants to be study partners (at least for RC) I do have pdf copies of some LSATs I'd be willing to share.

PT60 Breakdown:

S1.LR (-6)

S2.LG (-2)

S3.LR (-5)

S4.RC (-11)

Hello, I'm currently about 40% of the way through JY's course but would love to find others to study/take practice tests with in Boston/Cambridge. I'm taking the LSAT in June but am happy to study with anyone regardless of test date.

Hey! For some reason I'm having trouble finding the page that breaks down the question types and what I need to work on. I'm in the process of taking exams and want to start drilling question types throughout the week, those that I'm consistently getting wrong or having trouble with. Can someone please guide me on how to find this on 7sage? I remember a while back I was on a page with a bunch of bubbles that represented the question types...

Thanks so much

Hey all,

Does anyone know how to translate this using the group 3/4 rules?

Earth's temperature would not rise had not fossil fuels been burned.

I just have no idea how to apply the rules here, if someone could explain what the translation is and why and which rules they used, that'd be much appreciated!

Hello! I am aiming to take the March test and really committed to doing this but I am struggling. Is there a tutor here that could help?

How come B is wrong?

Admin note: edited title

Currently fool proofing 1-35 LG however I want to make sure my LR skills (or lack thereof) are not diminishing. I have saved some problem sets from the CC but after I finish these should I start from PT#1 and drill by question type or whole sections?

I have taken only 3 practice tests so far, and am getting low 160's. My goal is to get around 170 on the exam. I only have time to take two practice tests a week and study 2-3 hours a day. Would it be possible for me to up my score in this coming month and a half? I am hesitant to wait until June because I do not want to burnout and want to avoid taking the test when it goes digital.

Any advice is helpful!

i have a question

I just did the Distinguish Valid from Invalid Forms Flashcards.

I got them all right, but my question is, during the test do I have to engage in how is the case that they are valid or just memorize the formulas and once I recognize them answer the questions? Because I am able to recognize the formulas and I am not engaging in thinking as to why is it valid or invalid....

I just want to clarify this.

Some dogs are not cute

I want to make sure the range of this statement. SO the # of dogs that are cute can range from 0-99 ?

Because at least one dog is not cute so that makes the number of cute dogs range from 0-99?

Moreover, lets say if there are 99 dogs that are cute our statement is still valid since 1 of them is not cute right? And also can it be that all dogs are not cute.

I would appreciate the help

I eliminated every ac except B and E. I am assuming that B is wrong because it says "increased between" the years which we can not say because it only talks about the incidence of the two years mentioned in the stimulus.

I am not understanding how B is consistent with the biologist's statement?

Hi all!

I am coming back to the LSAT after having taken it in June 2017 (161, which was going -5 on test day and was quite disappointed).

It's been a lil more than 1.5 years since looking at all of this.. I used a good amount of practice exams when I was studying the last time, but more have come out, so not too worried.

I want to score 165+ in the next go.

Any broad advice for how to get back into the grind?

Specific questions include: a good diagnostic to get back in? (07 version has been done to a pulp for me at this point, so need another for best measurement)

I know the outline of the test/strategies. I also know that straight taking PTs and BRing was crucial for me in brining my average up, but don't want to exhaust that too early. Thinking instead that is better to do in the last month before the exam.

Should I begin with any specific sections? I used to be able to foolproof LG, but haven't looked at them since July 2017. RC was harder for me, and in general my mental clarity bears a lot on how I score.

Other details: in the MENA region for intensive grad school program rn, on a part time study schedule, healthy life habits (exercise, etc.-- trying to have that mental clarity all of the time), 4.0 UGPA.

Dream NYU ED Acceptance.

Thoughts?

Hi all,

Finished fool proofing LG (highly recommend to those that still haven’t done so). Man that helped!

I’ve posted this question before, but got some mixed answers.

I want to make sure that I am going about this the correct way before settling down to grind again.

For fool proofing logical reasoning sections would I go about it in a similar way to the “Pacifico method” that worked so well for me in LG?

Meaning print off some more recent, but not too recent logical reasoning sections and do one section timed, then review/ BR same day after a break, repeat the section timed the next day and review again, and then review the following week?

Interested to see if others had a better way of increasing their score! Any tips help.

Thank you!

"But the material costs of hung juries do not warrant losing the benefit to society of the unanimous verdict."

from the 1st RC passage of PT37

Does this sentence mean, instances of hung juries do not necessarily mean that the unanimous verdict system has no benefit?

Hey guys; I have weak reading skills when it comes to translating dense jargon of LR passages by philosophy and socialist stimulus on the LR

Does anyone have any advice for learning how to translate these difficult passages into easier to understand chunks?

Hi everyone!

I am in the beginning stages of my LSAT prep but am having issues with MSS questions. Any suggestions on how to improve? I have yet to pinpoint one specific reason why I am struggling with this type of question.

Hi guys. I'm having a hard time understanding why answer D is the correct answer. I understand that the question states what would weaken the Doctor's research study the most, but why is E not a good answer as well? If the study continued with100 more children older than infants, than wouldn't that also prove that this is a good way to weaken the argument?

Just wanted to gauge interest to see about getting a BR together leading up to the March LSAT.

Been reading a fair bit about the January exam. For those who also wrote in November, did you find it to be easier/about the same/more challenging than January? This is obviously a subjective question.

Thanks!

Maybe it is a symptom of our generation's tendency for instant gratification but does anyone else feel like the next three weeks are going to drag on forever??? I can't believe it's only been a little over a day since we took the January exam. What are you people doing to pass the time? It feels weird not having to do drills and PTs anymore...
