Co-working Oct. Study Group

Hi all,

If you're interested in joining a study group where all we do is co-work on zoom, keep each other accountable via imessage and support each other message/ or comment below!

This isn't meant to be a study group where we review questions and Blind Review, but rather an accountability group for people who struggle to keep a consistent schedule and need a little more support.

If you are the type of person that loves hyping/supporting other people and appreciates words of encouragement this is the group for you :)

I have noticed a peculiar trend where the LR questions that I tend to miss most are not the ones that I flag but instead the random other ones. I realized that I almost never miss the questions I flag but I miss the ones that I don't flag.

Can anyone give me any tips on whether I should take the LSAT in person or online.

I took it before online and had difficulties and lost about 5 minutes of the exam so I am leaning towards an in person test but im not sure how to prep for the in person exam since I been taking practice test online. Im planning on taking the November exam so I still have some time to prep.

While I was struggling with LR, I encountered and read Loophole by Ellen Cassidy. I am currently working on basic translation drill a training method introduced in the book; I read the LR passages and cover it up and write down or elaborate in my own words within 20 minutes for all stimuli in the section.

This, I find it very difficult since my English is secondary language, and it takes 1 hour to complete a section.

This method of training seems reasonable approach to conquer the LR in time but I wonder if this is something that can be improved.

Any advice or thoughts will be very appreciated.

Sufficient Condition

Hey y'all, so I know this is a stupid question, but can anyone explain to me what it means for something to be a sufficient condition? I understand it practically in using Lawgic to work through LR questions, but for some reason I can't explain it clearly with words. Thank you in advance!!!

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!

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?

I am pretty lost on why the correct answer is D. There is nothing in the stimulus that specifics that the Shoe Factory only hires citizens of Centerville. I would love to get some feed back on how other people did this question. I got answer B....

I'm confused about which two candidates specifically don't contribute to the overall goal of the proposal.

(1) Interfere with mosquito ability to find mates

(2) Cause destruction of disease parasite before stage where it can be transmitted

(3) Disable mechanism of mosquito's own resistance to disease

Goal: Introduce mosquitos with genetic alterations that destroy disease-carrying capacity.

Is it (1) and (3), based on the assumption that the primary goal revolves around "carrying," specifically?

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

Hello! Could I get some outside opinions to break down why A is more correct than D? My thought process was:

"Few" people are influenced... in the shoes of the columnist, I'm thinking, ANY amount of people being influenced is worth banning these polls if it doesn't have any negative consequences to do so. If this had said "no" people, then I would have chosen it.

If the polls show late gains in popularity, that could be useful information to voters; did something happen leading up to the elections to cause shifting tides? Could certainly be good information to know, which would be something to point out in the argument to not ban polls.

UFO's Question

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.

Should I cancel my score?

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?

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?

In Person - October

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.

Has anyone figured out when "complete and accurate" means complete and accurate for any one individual game board (PT 43, S4, Q18) vs. when it means complete and accurate across all possibilities across all game boards (PT 43, S4, Q15)? Its a stupid mistake that often causes me to lose an obvious point.
