The first stem is a principle question. It's simply asking you to make sure the example in the application mirrors the principle.
J.Y. gave the second stem its own category: Resolve/reconcile/explain. These kinds of questions actually appear frequently in the early LSATs too.
I can read it for you too if you need a second glance.
Hi guys! I was curious what everyone's plans regarding the September LSAT are. Personally, I will be taking it tomorrow.
By the grace of the LSAT gods I have every intention of killing it and never looking back. However, this will also be my first official take and given that the LSAT is the beast that it is-I am also open to the possibility of retaking in December. How does everyone else feel?
Best of luck to everyone tomorrow, cheers!
I usually have 5 minutes remaining with an entire passage left.
Same here. The struggle is real with these RCs.
Just listened to this episode yesterday. It's definitely one of my top favorites from This American Life!
@ @ Thank you guys! Great advice.
I was curious if any of you high scorers out there usually do a quick LR/RC/LG warm-up before taking a PT.
I think warm-ups are a good idea if you're still a little shaky on some of your fundamentals, but after a certain point of expertise I feel like warm-ups can do more harm than good in the form of psyching yourself out the morning of (in case you get answers wrong) and draining mental energy. Thoughts?

When I took the October Digital LSAT, my prelaw advisor told me that one of the perks of taking the pilot was that you would get reimbursed for a future real LSAT test. I already took the real December LSAT and was wondering how to get reimbursed for this? Does anyone have experience with this?
Thanks!
I'd be happy to read it over!

I don't remember that question on mine and I had 3 LR.
I did not have a question about samurai, and also had 3 LR. I also did not have the probiotics & baby question that powerscore says was in the real LR.
I didn't have the probiotics question either!
Question about LR experimental sections:
Are real questions mixed with fake questions throughout the 3 LR sections?
Or is it the case that if you get 3 LR sections-2 sections are ENTIRELY real and 1 section is ENTIRELY not real?
I had 3 LR.
One of them had a question about samurai children. Was that one real?
Hi 7Sagers,
I'm looking for an accountability partner, 2 max, in a similar scoring range as me.
I got a 161 on the December LSAT, but have been PTing in the high 160s and low 170s. I will be retaking in Feb.
My main goal is to drill every day and PTing around twice a week in order to improve timing and confidence. I'm interested in finding someone who is also making an effort to drill everyday. We don't have to drill the same stuff or even work on the same PTs, I'm just looking for someone to touch base with everyday to hold me accountable for daily drilling. Also, it's nice to have someone to gripe about the admissions process with.
Comment your scoring/LSAT situation if you're interested in getting in touch!
I am in the same boat @ ! It took me two days to end up with two paragraphs that I don't even like. I think the best course of action at this point is to just pin down an outline and slowly but surely flesh it out.
@ @ Thank you guys for the clarification! Beyond helpful.
I know a lot of schools have application deadlines in February (aka-you need provide them with a LSAT score earlier than the February score), but I'm confused on if you can update them with a February LSAT score later on.
For example, Berkley Law supposedly doesn't accept the February LSAT. https://blog.powerscore.com/lsat/bid/153645/Which-law-schools-accept-February-LSAT-scores
Does this mean they won't even look at your February score if you update them in the future? Thanks guys, sorry if this seems like a silly question!

Was the LR question with birds feign injury real?
Not real!

I had 3 LRs the order was LR RC LR LR LG and had questions about
-mayor getting re-elected
-black/white camoflauge
-Greek charachter reading a tablet from an oracle
-disagreement about how companies considering... should go about it
I got the mayor one, black/white one, Greek one, but not sure about what question you're referring to last.

can anyone confirm if LR section with a question about 7pm and 6pm was real?
I had only two LR sections I had this question.
For those that had 3 LR sections, was this in your first section?
Honestly I can't recall which one it was.

Someone please help!!! Was the LR question about a movie review where it asked what phrase the second speaker misinterpreted real???
I got this question.
did you have an experimental LR?
Nope

I had LR RC LR LR LG
Freaking LR drained me. I thought RC was a lot better than September but I was mentally stuck on the last two LGs and had to guess basically most of the floor game. I realized I could have done something more efficient with my board but it was too late. :cry:
All the LR is mushed together in my mind so I have no idea in what sections they we're but...
I had LR on PTSD
LR Planet 256
LR copper tools
LR on tornados (this wasn't included on the master post)
LR on goddamn lichens (this wasn't included on the master post)
According to the RC, there must be a multiverse where I actually scored what I wanted. :weary:
I had a question on tornados, but no question on lichens.

My early curve prediction: -11 -to -13. Significantly harder LG than September, easier RC (I still get upset when I hear the word candor), and comparable LR. I believe LG is the main driver of the curve.
I think LG s going to be the main driver of the curve too, but honestly it wasn't as bad as some of the really wacko mid 70s LGs. My greatest fear is that there won't be much of a curve at all.

Hey does anyone remember an LR question about vacuums? Was that LR section experimental or real (I remember the section having 26 questions)?
Yes! I had a vacuums question and only 2 LR sections.
I recently got engaged last weekend, but wasn't able to properly celebrate because of the LSAT! Now I can finally put engagement celebrations and Christmas decorations first!!!

Anybody remember if the fish fingers question was in the same section as the curry question?
Not sure if they were in the same section, but I got both those questions.

Yeah had this one as well. Maybe I was fried by this point but all I am going to say is WTF about that one
I totally skipped this question. This question is a definite time sink.

@ Yeah the cleaning floors one was hard! One of the rules was really strange
I completely agree about the cleaning floors game.
This is probably my new favorite thread. It's nice to know other people are going through or have previously gone through the same thing!
My approach is to be as ambiguous possible whenever family asks me about how my studies are going. I don't tell them specifically what I'm studying or where I'm PTing because that just makes them more nosy and anxious. I just tell them things are going great and that's that. I've even gotten to the point where I don't discuss with anyone besides my spouse on where I'm planning to apply. The less external pressure you have weighing on your shoulders, the better you can focus on the things that actually matter with your studies.
