I don't think you need to/should write an addenda. Most people who retake the LSAT score higher their second time around. Unless you have a really, really good reason as to why you're first take was not reflective of your capabilities, I don't think you should write one. Even in that case, I don't think it's necessary though.

That's great, congratulations!!!

congrats!!!

@mpiette10663-5 I've only ever done practice non-flex lsats but from my experience it seems like the FLEX is a bit nicer since it has less sections so it's less draining. Also, the FLEX sometimes repeats old LSAT questions, mainly from like the European and international LSAT's from what I can tell so at least no questions are like radically new for the Flex.

@kashibrandi609 thanks! and I originally did TestMasters for like core curriculum stuff which got me up to low 160s. Then I just drilled 7sage questions. For LR and LG, I would pick a PT grouping given by 7sage so like PT's 1-35 or 36-59 or 59+. Then within PT 1-35, I would just drill questions by type and difficulty so like doing all the Flaw Questions - Easy, then Medium, etc. I feel like drilling questions by type gives you a better sense of how to attack each type/move quicker. Once I finished all the LR and LG questions for PT 1-35, I moved onto 36-59 and again with 59+. I did that for June.

Then, for November I spent a month restudying where I would just drill all the hard and hardest questions and take practice tests.

I didn't study a ton for RC but what I found helpful was drilling the must be true and most strongly supported LR questions. I feel like those question types help you to differentiate between the answer choices for RC since it often seems like they're all plausible.

yeet congrats!!!!

@barbandrade812577 Thank you little baby yoda!!

Yeah scores were released today but you can't see your score until you have at least one writing sample on file. They typically take anywhere from 1-3 weeks to process (mine took 1 week). Once your sample has been processed, then you can see your score. To check if it's been processed, you go to your CAS account, click on LSAT Writing, and then LSAT Writing Status.

for the Getting Acquainted thing, after you do all the room checks/everything, it just takes you to a page that has the same format for the writing sample thing, but it doesn't actually give you any prompts or practice writing samples. It just lets you get familiar with the layout of the webpage/textbox you'll be writing in so there are no surprises/technical difficulties.

I thought about doing the same thing, but then I remember seeing some schools actually required at least one academic letter.

sorry, what does PT source range mean? are they repeating questions from previous exams?

Thanks for that! But I think they were asking about the questions that we pin with the little purple pin to come back to later on. Is there a way to look at all the questions we pinned from different problem sets at once? Thanks!

thank you guys so much for the helpful comments! just as a update, I ended up sending a not so great draft but hey at least its something lol

I'm pretty sure you have to take it after your LSAT. The writing section doesn't open beforehand. So yeah you can take the writing portion at any time after you sit for the exam.

also retaking!! (EST)

Thanks!

np. If you have A --> B or C and you are given C, then no you wouldn't have A ---> B remain as a rule bc A --> B or C doesn't necessarily translate into

A --> B

A --> C

It CAN because "B or C" always implies "or both" but it doesn't necessarily have to so you can't presume it always does. I feel like you have to remember that only sufficient conditions (A) trigger anything. So if you are given a necessary condition (C), that doesn't do anything/change any rules/nothing falls away. The only time I can think of C making any difference given A --> B or C is in the case of the contrapositive where /B and /C ---> /A so if you don't have C, then you can't have A. Otherwise, C doesn't trigger anything.

hey yeah you still run the contrapositive because the contrapositive is:

/B or /C --> /A (like you said) which can be broken down into:

/B ----> /A

/C ---> /A

so if you are given /C then it gives you /A

I'm not sure what you mean about (A-->B) as a remaining rule. Your rule is (A --> B and C), nothing about this changes.

Hey I've also struggled with RC but something that I actually found helpful was really drilling LR Must be True and Most Strongly Supported questions. Personally, I feel like while i understand what I'm reading, the tricky answer choices often mess me up. Doing these exercises helped me to better understand the answer choices in RC and differentiate what makes the tricky ones wrong.

Hi - I'm not sure if your plan is to only do prep tests until test week, but assuming that's what you mean I wouldn't go that far with it. I didn't do many prep tests, but I always did them under timed conditions because that's really what you're really practicing with a prep test - the timing. To actually improve on problems/timing, I just focused on the prob sets. For ex, I went to "Must be True" for tests 36-59 and burned through them/watched explanations for a day or two to really grasp it then moved on to the next question type. I feel like prep tests more of serve as a gauge for where you are rather than actually help you learn the material though it may be diff for everyone.

Does anyone know how to access the live chat window? I'm not seeing it anywhere and the call center is all busy :(
