Could anyone please let me know if there's any way to take three-section practice tests (excluding the experimental) please? If this isn't already a feature, could making this a feature be possible?

I've been finishing up each LR section with usually 5-8 min to go back and review in real time. At that point, I'm reviewing the questions I've been stumped on within a real time frame. So when I go to finish the PT and it tells me to go back and look at those questions again - I don't really see the point? PLUS sometimes the BR is for qs I got right so that's just a mind warp. Am I the only one who thinks this way?

I had the worst situation happen yesterday. I was taking the test on my Microsoft Surface Pro (looking back I probably should have realized not the best system). I had run all the system checks and passed. I logged on to take my test and my computer froze when I went to do the ID verification. I still had a few minutes so I rebooted and relogged in. I got through the room scan just fine and they popped up the chat box. Before I had time to tell them that I couldn't write in the chat box they put me in a breakout room waiting for the new proctor.

The new proctor came in and I couldn't see what they were typing in the chat box. I told them I couldn't see it and that I couldn't type in the chat box. They opened up the LSAC system and I logged on but nothing showed a test or what to do. I was asking the proctor to come off mute, repeating that I couldn't see their chat or type in the chat. I started messing around in the LSAT tab trying to find the test (probably not a good idea, but I was panicking). I hung up, freaked out a lot, calmed down and called LSAC and told them what happened.

I am rescheduled for the October exam and have asked for it to be in person, but no guarantee that there will be a testing center in my area. So I went out and bought an actual laptop.

I am still worried that I have missed something and do not know where to go to find the test and could have the same problem in October. Should the test have immediately come up? Should the proctor been able to speak? I know that I should be able to type in chat and see their chat.

How predictive is a practice score on an older LSAT (i.e. 127) vs a newer one (i.e. 158)? Is the correlation generally weaker the older the test is?

I've read that older practice exams tend to have easier RC sections, but if you do really well on 127, is there reason to think that will translate to test day? Or should you focus on recent exams to diagnose your likely score?

So I've been studying for the LSAT since May, and after taking the test in August and not scoring well I am back to the drawing board. I began restudying about 2 weeks ago and while I already feel like I'm understanding the test even more this time around, but I want to make sure I am maximizing my study time so that I am actually making progress that translates to increases in my score. 2-3 weeks leading up the the August LSAT I felt really stuck. I was making no progress in my score and it felt like I was doing all I could, but not seeing any results in terms of a score increase.

That said, does anyone have any tips for studying the 2nd time around? Is there anything I should be doing differently? I want to make sure I am getting something out of every study session so that I can start seeing increases in my score.

Why can't we have priorties by tag based on our drills performance, rather than just based on our prep tests performace?

My first diagnostic was a 165, and after months of studying I'm still averaging 168. I've gotten a few PTs between 170-174, but I'm really consistently getting 168s. I feel so stuck! Is this just how it is when you're trying to get 170+? Do I just need to drill more of the question types I'm stuck on? More time on wrong answer journaling? What's been helping you the most?

I am officially registered for the November LSAT. WHOSE COMING WITH ME!??!

I just took PT 148 Section 1 and I'm very confused with question 21. It reads:

No occupation should be subject to a licensing requirement unless incompetence in the performance of tasks normally carried out within that occupation poses a plausible threat to human health or safety.

'No' is a negated necessary indicator & 'unless' is a negated sufficient indicator. The curriculum says when encountering these it doesn't matter if you put the term as the necessary or sufficient condition because of the contrapositive. But, when you have both indicators that surely can't be the case as this question proves. If the curriculm covers how to handle conditional statement with both kinds of indicators I missed it.

So my question is, how do you handle these? Do you just need to use intuition to figure out which term goes in the sufficient/necessary spots? Do you prioritize one indicator over the other? Or do the indicators cancel each other out and you proceed as if they never existed?

The diagram for this questions is

If subject to licensing agreement (LR) → Incompetence poses threat (IPT)

(Contra) /IPT → /LR

Hi everyone, I'm starting my LSAT studying journey, looking around and trying different online platforms that I feel work best. I enjoy 7sage, but feel a lot in the core curriculum is locked, like over half, what packages would you guys recommend worked best for you? Thanks!!!!!!

I've been getting around a 156 on my practice LSAT's with my blind reviews in the 165-166 range. Is it possible for me to get over 160 for the October LSAT? I've been told my problem isn't the content, its timing and consistency. Is this truly what it is?

I think that I would benefit from timing data during blind review. Not a live counter, but a background counter to show how much time I am spending during blind review. This may seem like "just more data." However, I see this as helping to hone-in further on specific question types and their nuances. This could help answer "What about this question makes me spend this much time on it?"

Pretty much what the title says. My main issue is with LR. I used to be able to score 18/25. Then I hit a couple highs of 20/25 and was very, very happy. A week before, I started getting 16/15/14 out of 25, a pretty big dip. Took the Sept test, then about a week break. Did a section drill yesterday, got a 13/25. Is my brain broken? Was it too much to hope for a linear increase? For reference, I work full time, so MTWRF I study 4 hours daily: I wake up an hour before work to study, the hour of my lunch break, and 2 hours when I get home. The weekends are about 8-10 hour days for me. Is it too much to hope for a 160 by Oct?

I am trying to figure out how I can better understand negating conditionals. For that I tried to start with truth tables for conditionals. But I found that I am unsure if I understand the truth tables for conditionals.

“Princeville is a city in Quebec. If you live in Princeville (P), then you live in Quebec. (Q).”

In what situation is the conditional relationship P→Q true and in what cases is it false?

In other words when is P sufficient for Q and Q is necessary for P. There are four possible outcomes:

1)  you live in Princeville (P=T),  you live in Quebec (Q=T). (P→Q applies & is true)

2) you live in Princeville(P=T), you do NOT live in Quebec(Q=F). (P→Q is false)

3) you do NOT live in Princeville (P=F), you live in Quebec (Q=T) (P→Q is F?!? why?)

4) If you do NOT live in Princeville (P=F), you do NOT live in Quebec (Q=F). (P→Q is F?!? why?)

The last two rows do not seem to be very clear for me if we look at set/subsets.

If I replace the conditional statement with subset symbol P→Q =P⸦Q the truth table does not seem to be very clear.

However, the following (from https://courses.lumenlearning.com/frontrange-mathforliberalartscorequisite1/chapter/1-8-truth-tables-conditionals-and-biconditionals/) makes more sense to me.

p → q where p is I live in an apartment and q is then I pay rent. 

What are the outcomes?

1. I do live in an apartment and I pay rent, then the situation is true (no eviction!)

2. I live in an apartment and I don’t pay rent, then the situation is false (eviction, broken promise)

3. I don’t live in an apartment but I do pay rent, then the situation is true (though why would you do it?)

4. I don’t live in an apartment and I don’t pay rent, then the situation is true (no promise broken)

-

The truth table makes sense if we define and look at conditionals so:

"If P then Q" simply eliminates the possibility that both P is true and Q is false.

P⟹Q  ≡  /(P and /Q)  ≡  /P or Q

For the inverse:

It would be nice if there was a clear example of how to do the same for an inverse please. I can do it if /P→/Q = / [/(P and /Q)]  = P and /Q. However is there an easy to understand example for this?

I just scored a 158 on PT128.

Hi! looking for some advice. in the past month and a half, i've scored 180, 180, 179, 173, 175, 171, 171. I feel like I've been studying just as hard and focusing on my weaknesses in the same way that brought me to those high initial scores. I'm not sure what I'm doing differently to account for the drop. I haven't been particularly stressed or overwhelmed, and nothing major has changed in my lifestyle. Maybe the PTs in the late 130s were just easier for me than the ones I'm taking in the 140s?

Has anyone experienced something similar, and do you have any advice? My test is in a month and I'd like to reach my full potential again.

Howdy! Anybody else nervous about the LSAT this October? Who else in the DFW area also taking it? #WeGotThis #HollerBack

Hi! I'm working full time and trying to maximize my studying, as I am taking the exam in November. My first timed diagnostic with no prior understanding of the test was 154 and then scored a 161 on a PT followed by a 155 on the next PT (I've been in it for only about a week). Since I have only 8 weeks to try and get into the high 160s, the goal would be a 171, I am looking for advice on how best to use this platform. From some reading, and exploring it sounds like best bet is to just drill, drill, drill and take PTs. Or, do you recommend going through some of the core curriculum? Has that helped people grasp questions they were missing? Because of my work, I'll only be able to dedicate 2 hours about 4 days a week and then one PT on the weekend.

i'm going for a november test date.

i took my diagnostic in june. i wanted to get a sense of where i'm at now, so i just took a second practice test. i still need to complete the core curriculum.

what's the best next step? do i blind review this PT first? i never blind reviewed my diagnostic (should you?). i know i struggle, perhaps mostly, with speed. would that help me get the best sense of where i need to focus, or should i just go back to focusing on the CC?

just scored -8 on one section haven't scored -8 on a full test in over two months, taking test tomorrow. :|

When I take my time to read through a passage and understand the question I can do well at answering correctly but I noticed when I try to increase my speed, I get nearly everything wrong. Any tips on how I should be training to increase answering speed while maintaining accuracy?

I can never get through all the questions in a timed section. Of the questions that I do answer, the majority of them are correct. So I don’t think my issue is accuracy as much as it is speed. Any recommendations on how I can get through the passages quicker and identify my target faster? I am experiencing this problem for both LR and RC

Looking for an accountability partner to do 1 RC passage daily. We’ll do it separately and then check answers together. Please message me if you’re seriously interested!

Hi! So I am having a bit of trouble. When I am taking timed practice, I constantly find myself between 2 answers (the answer I chose and the correct one). The correct answer is typicall my first choice and then I second guess myself and end up choosing the wrong answer. It has gotten so bad that in my blind reviews when I go back in and chose the answer I was in between I get a vast difference between my original score and my BR score (ex. -11 practice score and -3 Blind review score going back in and choosing my initial answer). How do I jump over this hurdle? How do I trust my instinct or make a decision between 2 very compelling answers or is this more of a mental block? Any and all feedback is welcomed.
