I am currently working through Core Curriculum (CC). In doing so I came across a broken link titled Fact v Belief v Knowledge. I do not recall seeing this covered in the Foundations. I cannot access this information via the link. In the video explanation of the problem regarding Job Loss called: Lesson 3 - Job Loss J.Y. refers to a "Ground Level Truth."

Here is the link to this lesson: Lesson 3 - Job Loss

What is a Ground Level Truth? How do we access the lesson to the broken link?

Finally, does anyone have any addition feedback they can provide on this question?

PT 143 S4 Q10 (this was the question used in this lesson).

It was a bit tricky for me.

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 to Study?

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.

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 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

Can I improve my score in one month?

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?

Blind Review Data

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?"

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.

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.

what's next after second "diagnostic"

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?

How to Narrow it Down

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.

Breaking 160s

I am taking the LSAT in October and November. I would love any advice for breaking over 160. I am not looking for any insane score jump but would love to go up at least a couple points before then.

Currently I am doing a timed section each day, one practice test a week, and wrong answer journaling each one.

🙃 Confused

Actual Test Interface?

I am taking actual LSAT this Saturday and was wondering if I should do my last practice test on 7Sage or directly on LSAC? Wondering if there is also any other advice in general about possible technical difficulties that can happen day of

Inconsistent and Confused

I’ve been studying this test for a few months now and today I finally broke 161. After that I did another LR section and got -12!! Wayyyyy worse than I have been doing. Same thing happened last week, I was drilling all day and when I took a PT I scored worse than I have in months. Is this over practicing and mentally exhausting myself or am I getting lucky with my better scores? Driving me nuts. Any ideas? And has this happened to anyone else?

Stress about timing

I don't know how everyone feels, but I've been doing my practice along with the 7sage fundamental classes. I got the red symbol - how many seconds longer than what I was supposed to - for all my prep answers. I don't know if I should skim and skipp reading all the answer choice when I find the correct answer, cause that seems to be the only way I can meet the suggested time.

So I took the August 2025 LSAT and did not score nearly as well as I wanted to, especially considering my score was lower than any PT I've done leading up to it. I took the rest of August off from doing anything LSAT related because I'll be honest I was drained and burnt out from spending my entire summer just studying for the test. I will be retaking the LSAT this November and I need advice on where to begin on restarting my studying journey. My goal score is a 160. Any tips or advice on where to pick back up with studying is greatly appreciated!!!

AHHHHHHH

I got 164 on my first PT which took 8hours, 163 on my second PT which took 4.5 hours, and 160 on my third PT which took 3.5hours GAHHHHHHHHHHHH IM JUST GETTING FASTER AT GETTTING MORE WRONG ANSWERSSSSSSSSSSSSS but live laugh love, I'm going to cry in my bathroom

Hi! I was wondering if there’s a way to have my priorities by question tag include all of the questions I’ve taken instead of just my practice tests. It would be great if I could include all questions or all questions in the last month or something so I can see more directly what I should be trying to work on. It would also be great if you could set your target score and calculate where you’re under performing in relation to that as well.

If any of this is possible please let me know!
