Use Five Star branded paper. It is thick and not see through. It’s only a small detail, but I hate seeing my pen marks through the paper.

I believe 100% extra time is only for visual impairments or other physical limitations (paralyzed and using special equipment etc). I haven’t seen any 100% approvals for learning disabilities or mental illness.
I feel the diagnostic shouldn’t be taken until you’ve at least familiarized yourself with the material. It can be disheartening to see such a low score, when really your potential is likely so much better than that.
If you commit yourself to studying, I believe August is a realistic goal. Good luck!
Only if it is a disclosed test. You can find out what ones are disclosed on the LSAC webpage.
I’m so sorry that happened to you. I also took the June LSAT and found the wording of the games much different than the first 40 PTs. I had a moment where I wanted to quit, as it was my first section.
I suggest focusing on the later LG games and getting to the point where they’re fun. (I’m not there yet, but I’ve heard it’s possible!)
Good luck!

I scored 167 in June 2021 and it was within the 93 percentile then and still is now!
I scored a 167 in June 2021 and it was 94th percentile at the time.
1.5 each way, or 3 hours total? For 1.5 total I would, especially if you’re American. For 3 hours total, not a chance.
On the Jan Flex I had 1 minute countdown when one section ended, and before a new one began. I had the option of skipping it if I didn’t want to wait.

Yeah, it would be a lot easier to keep those as rules next to the game board. B—> /A and /C
This is now my husband’s profile pic for his Microsoft Teams account. Mr. Pawton 😂
If I have a question like this I would write A/B under committee 1, and B/A under committee two. It visually represents that one of them always takes up a spot (granted all the pieces are used in each committee and there isn’t also an out group).
As for your question, I’m sure there are examples, but I can’t think of any. 😬
In an in/out game you could have both out, but not both in. But since this is two different committees, and not simply a question of being on the committee or off the committee, they need to be in separate groups.
It’s available on Amazon Canada for me.
I personally didn’t do any prep and felt good about my submissions (I had to redo it because my first was flagged for security issues). Stick to the basic formula: 1) intro where you identify which position you plan to take 2) a paragraph where you introduce three arguments for your position 3) another paragraph where you introduce counter arguments that you ultimate defend against, 4) a paragraph where you discuss the merits of the option you didn’t choose, and why it’s not the best choice and, 5) conclusion where you reiterate your choice.
I’ve discovered that logic games is not something that just ‘clicks’ one day. It’s a gradual accumulation of knowledge through practice and exposure. You truly are re-wiring your brain. I’ve been studying LG for approx 3 months and have seen some huge improvements, but it took time. Good luck!
I think even if your parents/siblings occasionally interrupted you, you’d still come out net positive for time because of all the other things that would be taken care of.
I saw someone post about how two people each do the same PT, and then as part of the BR they each argue for why they chose the answer they did (if they don’t match). It forces you to defend your choice, while possibly being swayed by the arguments of your study buddy. I could see how it could force you to see things a bit differently, and the concepts learned may be longer lasting as a result.
No advice, but I’m sorry for all you’ve been through. A 158 may not be what you were hoping for, but it’s still above the 70th percentile, and you were able to achieve that despite your circumstances. That’s huge! Good luck if you decide to try again.
If there’s no need to take it in February, I would postpone so you can drill LG a bit long and go into the exam with more confidence. I find that studying with a time crunch really prevents me from absorbing what I need to.
I’m really sorry this happened to you. Personally, I would cancel the score, unless you have an amazing GPA or something else that reeeally sets you apart. Especially if there’s even a tiny chance that in the future you’ll be applying to a school that averages LSAT scores. I doubt that even with a holistic view this score wouldn’t reflect negatively.
If you can put off applying for a year I suggest doing so. As much as I hate the LSAT, I am quickly seeing value in it. I can feel my brain starting to rewire, and from anecdotal evidence, that should help me in1st year.
Best of luck to you. Don’t forget that you’ve achieved in the 150s on PTs, so you ARE capable of getting there.

When doing the test, do you map out some of the harder LR questions, or primarily do them in your head?
Worst case it will be flagged for a security issue and they will reset it. No biggie. 😊
Did you get to the point where the test becomes almost easy, or do you consistently feel challenged? I picture J.Y. being able to do it in his sleep. "Nope." "Wrong." "Don't care." "What does that even mean?"

167 in June. Went from 94th to 93rd percentile.
They care about the GPA. I don’t believe they take into account difficulty of courses or degree as a whole.
