The LSAT is entirely digital in North America now. There is no longer a paper option. You are still allowed to use scratch paper.

Since we all now need to get used to taking the test on a tablet, even if we may prefer paper, the Khan Academy tests are offered online, and you'll find online versions of PrepTests 71, 73, and 74 at familiar.lsac.org .

Does this website score the test for you as well?

Unfortunately it doesn't. It just shows you the LSAT tablet format and is timed. Maybe you can practice on there and then BR on here for the same exam. When are you taking the LSAT?

#help Wouldn't the correct negation of B be as follows: "Some successful strategies for overcoming adolescent loneliness do not intensify that loneliness"?

I'm taking in November (and maybe January if needed) but I'd be glad to practice with you, especially since I'm looking to improve RC.

How did you score on the July LSAT if you don't mind me asking? I'm studying for the November LSAT currently.

Hey Amy! I'm interested as well. I'm thinking of taking in November, so hopefully that works for your timeline. Let me know!

Yeah I second what Tokyo2020 said. I'm taking in November and still applying in late December.

@ You're good. It's actually surprisingly similar. I mean the interface looks slightly different. But the countdown clock and mark out AC are very close. Same thing with passage scrolling for RC. So I think you practicing on the digital PT's on here would prepare you well for the digital LSAT. The main difference would be that the PT's on here don't have an extra fifth experimental section. So you don't get the full experience without that. I'm not even sure how JY could replicate that best. But that'd be the only thing he could add to be exactly like the LSAT. Let me know if you have any other questions I can help with.

@ @ yea same here. Where does he get -10 from? And I'm assuming this is raw he's talking about?

@ some passages were easier but I felt rushed. Came back and did the first passage last and had to guess on a couple because I was running out of time.

@ same. Why do they have to put 2 RCs and have the one that counts be last when your brain is spent. Talk about being mean lol.

Forgery art. And unfortunately for me that was my less confident RC section (I had 2) and it was my last section of the test. Wish the other RC counted lol.

@ I'd be down to use whatsapp to coordinate everything.

We could definitely do a skype call or go to meeting. Does that work for you guys? And 9/28 is fine for me. I should be good to do BR then. Maybe we could take the PT in the morning and then do BR in the afternoon for the whole exam. Sound good?

@ I'm thinking sometime in late September or early October. Like September 28th or October 5th (a weekend). What do you think?

Hey guys! I'm glad you're all interested--the more the merrier! Not sure all the PTs you have access to but maybe we could choose a specific one and then take it and have a BR session to review it? Let me know what you guys think.

#help I went to E both in timed and BR sessions. Is E incorrect because it's acting as a weakening AC rather than calling out what the argument fails to do?

I get that B plays on the fact that there could be few plumbers in the town, but what if the only reason people filed a complaint was because they didn't like him as a person, but his work was good? Which I feel is what E points towards.

How do other plumbers being available and not receiving complaints show us what his argument fails to consider? We just want to how it fails to show that this plumbers work cannot be counted on to go a good job.

Great explanation JY! Certainly helped clear up the difference further between sufficiency and necessity. Here's my takeaways:

Sufficiency: Good enough that "you don't need anything else" -- it is sufficient on its own.

Necessity: Things needed for conclusion to be true -- "can't dispense of them"

A necessary assumption of the argument above is that "there must be an alternative way to absorb calcium for bone repair than by lactose". If this is not true then the argument falls apart. Because without this alternative mechanism, we'd have no way to explain how tropical people don't have more bone issues.

#help In this case would the NA answer also be a SA?

Also, one other NA I see that's different than the correct AC is that there is not another factor that is causing obesity and TV to be strongly correlated independent of those two. Like if something else were to cause you to watch more TV and gain more weight.

#help I'm still having trouble seeing why the answer wouldn't be D. My first instinct was B (correct answer) based on the argument, but I got lured away by D. My thought process was if you negate D then Japanese wouldn't buy any right sided North American cars, which seems like it would wreck the argument.

On the converse I see why B is right in that if you negate it, if Japanese are inclined to buy American made cars with left side driving wheels then they would be doing so right now, removing it as a factor from consideration.

I probably answered my own question there but, help explaining why D is wrong would certainly help.

This was my rationale:

1. It is wrong for the government to restrict liberty of individuals (RL → W)

2. Except perhaps in those cases when to fail to do so would allow individuals to cause harm. (/RL → CH*)

Combining these with the last sentence allows us to prephase what we are looking for:

Yet, to publish something is a liberty, and to offend is not to cause harm.

P (publish) → RL (gov't would be restricting liberty by not allowing) → W (wrong)

O (offend) → /CH (not cause harm) → RL (gov't would be restricting liberty by not allowing) → W (wrong)

And like others have pointed out, it's fair to say that "wrong" also could be translated to "not right". But the reverse would not be correct (i.e. not right → wrong).

So with all of these in mind I understand why A is correct over my original choice of B.

I'd be interested. I'm taking in November too and going through the CC right now. Hopefully by mid to late September I should be starting PTing seriously. Let me know what you think.
