@riesgrace1573 omg sorry it was such a hassle for you. I am glad you got it figured out. I had problems filing a complaint as well. You are not alone.

Ugh this test was a disaster. I was unable to take my test at all. I was scheduled for 2:30 on Friday, but I never was connected with a proctor (even after waiting for 3.5 hours!). It was awful. I hope they are able to reschedule me. Any advice on how to stay prepared/communicate with LSAC about rescheduling? Anybody in the same boat?

What does "presuppose" ACTUALLY mean in an AP question's answer choice?

I understand that presupposing something is similar to assuming something. But I still keep messing up on AP questions where the answer choices include the word "presuppose." I trick myself into believing that the argument has presupposed something!

For example, PT27.S2.Q17 (the "A Stable Society" question), I picked E :'(

Does anybody have any examples of when an argument really did presuppose something? Are answer choices in AP questions that mention "presupposing" always wrong?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

When I saw this question, I had such a hard time thinking about it in "lawgic." Instead, I thought about it chronologically. In my head, I keep misunderstanding the meaning of the arrows to be "thing 1 leads to thing 2," not just that "thing 1 implies that thing 2 also exists." I think this question was particularly difficult for me because of that issue. I kept getting confused thinking about how she has to be offered the fellowship before Technocomp can find out about the issue, and suddenly, I fell down a rabbit hole of thinking about everything chronologically.

Any tips on how not to do that? #help

Hi,

I keep getting stumped with the difference between trivial and non-trivial inferences. I keep going back to the videos and the quizzes, but I can never tell the difference.

How do you guys think about the difference between them?

Hi all,

I have ADHD and some sensory issues, and I found something that really helps me with studying. Silicone earplugs! I have seen quite a few discussions about ADHD tips from years back and figured I should post this for people who are currently on the study train.

Here are the ones that I use. I found them at my local CVS: https://www.cvs.com/shop/cvs-health-ultra-soft-silicone-earplugs-6-pairs-prodid-457795

They have helped me so much with studying and taking practice exams. I find that the slight pressure in my ear helps me to be more comfortable and relaxed. It almost replicates the feeling of a nice weighted blanket. Additionally, they block out small noises that might otherwise throw me off of my rhythm.

Also, you are allowed to wear earplugs during the test. They are on the list of preapproved items (https://www.prometric.com/test-owners/resources/testing-accommodations-pre-approved-items, https://www.lsac.org/lsat/register-lsat/accommodations/accommodations-may-be-available-lsat) for both the multiple-choice and writing sections. The only requirements are that you show them to the proctor before the exam and that they are "non-electronic, non-corded/banded, and generic foam" (I am assuming silicone, a foam-like substance, is okay). You could use foam ones, but I find that the silicone ones stay in my ears so much better.

Hope this helped somebody.
