In my heart I believe that JY and the team are working on them :')

Totally on the same boat! It's been hard to get motivated to study again and I've felt sluggish for the past couple days trying to reboot. My strategy the first day back was to take a "broken" LSAT to refresh my memory, and I'm planning on working on fundamentals for my two trouble sections (RC and LR) for the next couple weeks before taking a full PT again. Also looking into meeting with a tutor for these first weeks of rebooting so I can properly design a study plan and maximize my study time before the October LSAT. Best of luck!

If you're referring to the "Score Preview" option from LSAC for first-time test-takers, I'm pretty sure that's a one-time opportunity. If you already took the LSAT, you will not be able to view your score and then decide if you want to cancel or not. Usually, non-first-time test-takers cancel their scores when they KNOW things went wrong mid-exam (connection/proctor issues, you didn't answer a significant number of questions, panicked, etc.), and cancelling is only possible before your score is available. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong!

I also recently did this PrepTest! The last sentence of the stimulus is definitely the conclusion, and it is questioning the validity of the data used by Raghnall. The author does not explicitly take a stand on what the major problem is for marriages, but he does take an explicit stand that the data used in Raghnall's article is questionable. That is why C is the correct answer, because the implication of the survey data's invalidity is that Raghnall's conclusion is not properly justified.

I eliminated B right away sadly. Did I assume human body heat is a gaseous substance? Yes. I chose humanities over science for a reason in college.

First off, congratulations on taking a test that's also given me a painful journey of emotional turmoil that I did not need. You should be extremely proud of yourself! And I fully believe that you have the capability to ace it. The LSAT evil lords just threw you a ton more curveballs than normal this time. But they can't defeat you!

Now, for practical advice: you've already done what you need to do, which is to file a formal complaint. Like others have said, given the enormous amount of tech issues experienced by October test-takers, you will very likely get your complaint approved and get a re-take. If that doesn't work out, @ and @'s suggestions are also an option.

Bottom line is, your dream is not over by any means! Give yourself a few days to process your emotions, and if your re-take doesn't get approved, just take a whole week off of the LSAT! Don't forget that looking after yourself is more important than anything else. Sending you best wishes!

This might sound silly but hear me out: Eat a popsicle. If it's small enough, you can eat the whole thing in 10 minutes. The cold brings me back to life and eating the popsicle distracts my mind from whatever just happened. My personal choice is chocolate. If you have a couple of minutes to spare towards the end of the break, I also recommend 5 deep breaths while stretching your neck. But the popsicle is the star.

Even though it does sound a little silly, I think it's absolutely brilliant! Can I ask where the popsicle technique came from?

My goal for this thread was to figure out a way I could take my mind off of the test quickly with as little mental energy spent in doing so, and eating a popsicle, (chocolate nonetheless) seems like a surefire way to do this!

TBH I am actually stoked to try this!

Sorry for the late response! I hadn't eaten popsicles since I was a kid, but I randomly picked them from the supermarket one day. They filled me with so many happy memories while eating them that I decided to start having one mid-LSAT lol. I hope it worked for you!

Hi! Once you have finished the core curriculum on 7Sage, I highly recommend reading The Loophole book, it brought me from -11 to the -5 range. I also felt like I got a lot more out of JY's video explanations by understanding how to process the stimulus and avoid trap answer choices. Best of luck!

You can put them on before the test starts and keep them on until the second security check before Section 3 (they just make sure you aren't recording anything and your desk is still clear). Then you can pop them back on before section 3 starts.

JY's calm tone in this video is exactly what I needed after screaming at this question.
