I am struggling to believe that by memorizing all the inferences and rules of the core curriculum LGs that I will somehow be able to do all the LGs that come at me. I have trusted in JY's process up until this point but I feel as though I have to make a leap of faith here when everything else has made sense logically. I have been diligently learning the games, memorizing, repeating, and moving on and still I get stuck and make sloppy mistakes. I think if I believe that this method will work, it will have a better chance of sticking. Someone take me to church on this please. I know that this has been discussed here before but I still don't think I've found a satisfactory answer. Thank you all!

I like to remember that training for anything, even something cognitive like LSATs, involves physical training. You have to learn to recognize the physical patterns in your body (heart rate, faster breathing, that fog of anxiety) and counter them. Box breathing and repetitive mantras work for me, and if I'm really stuck I will drop and do a few pushups just to reset my body. Also remember that it's important to have a regular physical practice alongside studying. You are training for a very stressful event, your body needs physical strength to get through it!
It wants me to select an institution and then says the LSAC doesn't permit making a proctor U account. Help!
Update: I figured it out, you just reset your password like everyone said. Also: YOU ALL HAD ME TRIPPING SO HARD WTF EVERY TIME SLOT WAS AVAILABLE FFS YOU ALL HAD ME STRESSED AF! Don't freak out like me just go register, lol.
Update again: No one said that everything was booked I just read one comment wrong and had an aneurism. Sorry for yelling, all. Think I'm stressed about this damn test?
Hi all! Count me in please. Here for the weekend, PDT crowd, caitygwin@.com
If you're coming to Vegas don't be seduced by the cheap rates on the strip right now. It's a mess down there and wifi will be expensive and unreliable at the casinos. I would go for a standard chain hotel in Henderson or Enterprise. Summerlin will be fine too but likely more expensive.
Thanks all! And to clarify, you're going through the LGs on the Core Curriculum section of the Problem Sets tab? (PT 1-35)
I thought I was clever in choosing C. It is as least as justifiable choosing expensive tools for military and non military training because IT'S NOT JUSTIFIABLE AT ALL! These pseudo assumption questions are killing me.

It is not allowed anymore from what I heard. It's because someone wanted to sit on the floor and had notes under the carpet. AI flagged him/her and was dismissed from the exam. Your best bet would be to check with LSAC either way.
Thank you!
I am comfortable sitting on a floor pillow with my computer on a low table. Is this arrangement allowed for the LSAT Flex?
...are the facts in the LR questions and RC passages true? I keep telling my friends fun facts that I learn from LSAT practice and I want to be sure I'm not spreading fake news. Of course I know I need to account for context, time of publishing, and writer opinion.
30 pushups though? That's a of pushups friend. More power to you

I wouldn't waste the time/money. it sounds like they're trying to just get more apps in as your stats are outside of their range. Go with your gut instinct!
Plus you could get scholarships from other schools. yea not t3, but maybe better to save money. I'd be insulted too. They should be more appropriate in their comms, they'd expect that from us!
Thank you! It just felt especially predatory to me. They sent it in a big envelope too, my girlfriend thought it was an acceptance before I told her I hadn't applied! Like wow Stanford you want a diverse class? Or do you just want some diverse money?

App farming... happens every cycle with lots of schools targeting a range of demographics, but shoot your shot if you want to. They're fairly easy to get a fee waiver from. The have their own form to self-report income.
Even this late in the cycle? Seems like I'm just throwing away money and giving into their little ploy. I do not qualify for the fee waiver
Hi all, I got a weird letter from Stanford just now, wondering if anyone else got this letter and how they're feeling about it. I applied to 16 law schools in early November, Stanford was not one of them. With a 163 LSAT and a 3.72 GPA I thought that it would be a long shot and a waste of money. Then today I get a form letter from them encouraging me to apply because they want to increase diversity (I am a gay lady). They told me how to apply for a fee waiver from LSAC but did not actually give me a fee waiver. With the deadline a week a way, this late in the application cycle, and with no actual fee waiver, this seems to me like an attempt for them to just collect more application fees. The fact that they are sending these letters to "diverse" prospective students seems especially fucked up to me. Anyone else get this letter and feel weird about it? If Stanford really wanted a diverse class why didn't they send me this letter right after my LSAT? Or why didn't get give me a fee waiver? Seems like a money making attempt masked as a diversity campaign. Thoughts?

Not necessarily. I think the newer LSATs have much harder games. Maybe you're just getting a lot better at the LSAT :)
No that couldn't possibly be it lol! There must be a glitch in the system. Thanks for the encouragement.
I've been working my way through the PTs starting with the earlier ones. I have pretty consistently been getting a 161. This week I took a practice test from 2017 and got a 167. Was this a fluke or are the newer ones easier?
Go team!!! I had LR easy RC difficult and LG mneh. What a DAY!
There is boring but informative video on the LSAC website and a way for you to practice setting up your system first. You can get the whole thing done in an hour or two.
Anyone worried that a civil war is going to begin and we'll be trying to get our LSAT in amidst bombings, gunfire, and martial law?
