I picked D when I took the practice test. The reason why D is wrong is mentioned briefly by JY and I see it clearly now.

My flawed reasoning:

All landowners whose sidewalks haven't been cleared will received citations which will result in fines unless there are extenuating circumstances. Therefore nearly all landowners who haven't cleared their sidewalks will receive fines.

The reason why it's wrong:

This mistakenly conflates all landowners who haven't cleared their sidewalks with all landowners whose sidewalks haven't been cleared. So tricky how these are two different groups based on a little change of wording. It could be that the city cleared all the sidewalks and they were billed for it so no land owners who haven't cleared their sidewalks receive fines.

Hey! I was in your situation and this is what worked for me. I took a diagnostic after the foundations module. My worst section was LG so I completed that part of the module. Then I took another practice test. I worked through the LR module while taking practice tests every weekend. I have started the RC module and am working through it now.

For me what worked the best was really honing in on my worst section before worrying about the rest of the test. Once you have sufficiently improved on your worst section spend your time completing the other modules, drilling, taking PTs, blind reviewing, and going over wrong answers. Mind you, this is just what worked best for me. My diagnostic was 152 and the average of my 3 most recently taken PTs is 164.

Best of luck to you!

Study Buddy Needed (Goal Score 165 - 170)

Hi there!

I am in search of a study buddy, preferably in the SF Bay Area. My ultimate goal score is a 170 but I would be more than happy to settle for a 165. My average score is 157 with my highest score being a 160 and lowest being a 155. I would love to find someone who has been scoring similarly so that we can hold each other accountable to study and discuss missed questions to reinforce the logic.

A bit about me, I work as a paralegal in immigration law. I plan on pursuing a Masters in Human Rights and Democratization in Europe before starting law school but I want to take the LSAT now since LG is my best section. My dream school is UT Austin and I have already decided to apply ED.

Please let me know if you would be interested in studying together. :)

Hey! I totally understand how you feel. My diagnostic score was 160 and after 5 months of studying, my most recent score was 155. What has been keeping me going is knowing that progress is not always linear. The good thing is, you can keep pushing your test date back so long as you do it within the deadline. That way you can ensure that you take the test when you're fully prepared.

One thing I have done when I feel like giving up is writing down all of the reasons I want to be a lawyer. Studying for this test it can be easy to forget your "why". Try to remind yourself why you are studying for this thing in the first place. You got this!
