booking test dates and times for the August LSAT opened on July 6th at 5pm (EST) and when it first went online there was a problem with booking online tests so I believe this made a lot of people book in person even if there preference was online. Due to this, since the beginning I was unable to book my test in person and it has said there are no test centers in all of Ontario Canada I called the help line but they have basically told me their unable to do anything about it. Should I wait and see if a spot opens up or just resign myself to doing it online? Im really worried about doing an online exam because I'm worried the proctoring system will flag me fo simply stretching my neck or looking away from my screen accidentally. Any advice would be helpful!

Any tips

Hello

I keep getting -7~ -9 in LSAT and when I go back for BR, I am able to get the right answer. What should I do to avoid this? Should I just keep drilling? I have been doing timed and untimed drills. I want to detect what the real issue is but I really don't get why

Causal Contrapositive?

Can you take the contrapositive of a causal statement? For example, if it said that A caused B, and we don't have B, is it logically corrected to say then we don't have A? Or does causation not work like that?

Hi I am confused on why the answer is B on PTF97 S1 Q2. I skipped it during my practice test to focus on easier ones first, but when I came back I was unsure about the answer. Also during BR I chose the wrong answer. Just need someone to explain! Thanks!

Hi,

As of August 2023, am I permitted to draw/write my game boards for LG with paper and pencil, whether remote or at a testing center ?

I am wondering if the way I study (p&p) will be the way I test .... and ... if my notes for logic games digital, would you please share your approach ?.... thanks, thanks and thanks and happy Fourth of July! Gisu

PS: I emailed LSAC support but have not gotten an answer yet and apparently I am impatient ;-)

Did anyone else pick C instead of B? I thought that the 24 policy showed that it was important to have continuity of care so that if the doctors are tired during a shift it wouldn't have good continuity. But realizing now that I made a lot of assumptions and B is better. Is B right because it says that "now" there's a new policy that makes people stay in the hospital and that means that they're there at their most ill so its more important now to have good care?

LG: speed vs. accuracy

I'm looking for suggestions on increasing my speed in LG. Here's a little background info: I'm usually averaging 14+ during Preptests, but both during BR and during untimed practices I am nearly getting them all correct (22+). During the timed drills and Preptests, I am able to make the inferences and split the boards, but not quickly enough to get ahead and finish all 4 games -or even all 3 sometimes. How do I increase my speed and get these game boards down faster (and still accurate, ideally)? And at what point does the practicing and BR-ing click where I'm doing this quickly and efficiently?

Help!

Can anyone help me on this question? I tried looking it up, but can't find it anywhere.

The advanced technology of ski boots and bindings has

brought a dramatic drop in the incidence of injuries that

occur on the slopes of ski resorts: from 9 injuries per 1,000

skiers in 1950 to 3 in 1980.

Reading Comp Strategy

Read the passage TWICE. Yes, you heard that right. Read it twice, but before you say that's ridiculous there's no time for that just hear me out.

The first time you read the passage you slowdown your reading highlighting or underlining key words that are significant, especially emphasizing transition periods in the passage. After you finish the passage, immediately read the passage as second time. But, you aren't really going to "read" the passage. what you are going to do is skim through line by line in a rapid pace, skipping detailed wording and summing up in your head what is is that you are rapidly skimming down. This should take you no longer then 30 seconds. What I found by doing this is that it significantly improves my understanding on the passage structure, almost on a subconcious level. The time you "lose" by doing this second reading is gained back when answering the questions. You will find that the correct answers immediately jump out to you more often and you could be averaging 15 seconds a question.

Let me know your thoughts on this strategy. I know it might be necessarily "new," however I'm interested if anyone else does this?

UPDATE

I actually do this in the reverse now. I find that it helps me with structure. I will literally skim the entire passage for like a solid minute, then read the passage, then answer questions. The 4 minutes you use doing this helped me a lot.

Art RC Reading Material

Anyone know good reading material for the Art types of RC Questions? I've been reading Economist and WaPo but want something more in line with the Art passages? Feel free to also leave good Science suggestions as well

I took the June 2023 LSAT and din't do anywhere near what I want to end up with. I plan to retake this fall in either September, October, or November depending where I am PTing during this time. I bought the live classes package and have been working through the entire study schedule. I'm finding that I'm spending wayyyyyy too much time doing the Logical Reasoning lessons. I'm only on Week 3 but I'm already behind by a week and a half. Since I have already studied for a few months prior to the June LSAT, I know a good amount of information already regarding LR and LG, however, i significantly what to improve my LR. What is the best method to do so without having to spend 40 + hours a week reviewing the core curriculum? I'm getting confusing about the drilling tools an how and when I should be using them. I don't know what the most effective method is. I've heard great things about 7Sage and improving LSAT scores but I just feel stuck because I'm not sure how to work many things on this website HELP.
