My webcam showed up as mirrored when I test my equipment through proctorU, so when I hold up my ID it’s mirrored. Will this be an issue on test day/ can I fix this? Does anyone have experience with this?
Thanks!

Am I allowed to chew gum during the exam? Is it at the discretion of the proctor?
I wouldn’t have any gum containers on the table ofc, just some in my mouth when the exam starts.
On the February LSAT, or any upcoming LSAT really, is any one section more likely to appear as an experimental, or does each have a 1/3 chance? I see lots of 2 LR sections for recent exams posted recently than 2 LG, for example. maybe sampling bias ?

Hey there,
Excellent question! Main point questions are ones I struggled with even toward the event of my LSAT journey. One tip I give my students is to experiment with the order you're approaching RC questions. If you save the main point question for last, that often does a great job of providing you with more time to read the passage before interpreting these difficult questions.
Hope this helps!
Saving main point for last is a really great tip, I’ll give it a try! Thank you!
Main point questions are pretty much the only questions I really struggle with on RC, and can be really frustrating and time consuming since they seem pretty subjective. Does anyone have a trick to deal with these questions specifically? Thanks
I tried taking a PT on lawhub for the first time and think it’s best to continue since the actual interface is more similar to that on Lawhub, but when filling in results on 7sage for analytics I noticed that the order of sections between the 2 platforms is different for the same exam, specifically PT 40.
Which platform correctly orders the sections as actually ordered on that respective exam’s administration? Is the original order ever disclosed?
Many thanks!
Hi everyone, I was approved for +50% time today and just wanted to ask about some strategies to best leverage this extra time.
I was already not horrible in terms of pacing, but I was missing questions bc I was misreading/ rushing questions etc.
My intital impression of the best way to leverage this extra time would be to literally blind review during the actual exam; finish the section in ~35 minutes and then go back and review the answers I’m not 100% confident with. This is also a godsend for diagraming during LG, though I haven’t started studying LG. Same with RC my impression is that I should use the time to read the passages more critically, etc.
If anyone has any additional general of section-specific advice, I’d greatly appreciate it!
Would it be a good idea to attack questions 15 and up first in a section, then go back to 1-14 after? Burnout is real for me as I work through the section so this method might help. Thoughts?
I had a look at this to see at what point harder questions might start showing up

Hi,
I have a question about how the LSAC would handle LORs in my circumstances. My current timetable is to graduate undergrad May 2023, submit apps ~Fall 2024, matriculate in Fall 2025. My question is can I receive a letter of recommendation, have my recommender upload it to LSAC say around Fall 2022, and then wait to use that letter for the Fall 2024 application cycle. Or would I need to receive, upload and submit a letter of recommendation a set certain amount of time before my desired application cycle?
Naturally, I would think that (most) recommenders would be able to provide a more descriptive, elaborate recommendation fresh off of my experience with them, whether it be in a course or a research project, etc, so that's why I would think to acquire these letters as early as I can, have them sit in the LSAC LOR account for a few years, and send them out with my application when its time. Is there a flaw in my reasoning here/ is this possible?
I’d appreciate any help, and am glad to provide clarification on my situation.
Thanks!
So to start off, we can see its a Most Strongly Supported question with the first sentence serving as the premise and the 2nd sentence as the conclusion.
If you are struggling with MSS, I would suggest imagining inserting the answer choices into the stimulus and see if it makes sense (for example, for this question you would imagine adding "Therefore..." followed by an answer choice and seeing if it fits). Remember, only one correct answer receives any support, and four incorrect answers are totally unsupported somehow - throw "most strongly" out the window.
Back to the question, we can see that A is correct because it is basically saying there are cases where someone could act immorally without social effects or whatnot, and that is what the premise is saying as well - that "the latter are not necessarily social in nature". Since morality is "not necessarily social in nature", it is thus supported that immoral behavior may not cause any impact that is social in nature (harm to others).
Hope this helps!
