This has always happened from time to time on my account at least but seems like it's been happening even more frequently these past 2 weeks. Is there anything I can do about this or is this a server-related glitch?

Uhh thanks for the response after many years lol I already graduated from law school so this is sooo behind me but I think when you said “In Singapore, we use…” you just admitted the problematic feature of this question and you just validated my point further. How are the test takers—the vasty majority of whom are NOT from Singapore—supposed to know what YOU guys in Singapore are accustomed to? There is no misinterpretation. I called out on the not-so-great phrasing in this question.
Yes. LSAC confirmed it per Powerscore's Dave K.
You eat A and B only. I eat a variety, ranging from A to H. THIS DOES NOT MEAN I eat fewer A and B! This unwarranted assumption, albeit seemingly intuitive, tricked me twice in the span of 10 months. I'm side-eyeing you, answer choice C.
But it is the only AC that strengthens turmeric as a casual factor.....
At PT 89, you'd think the test writers would've refined their test writing skills dramatically. I'm very uncomfortable with the assumption that Indians living in Singapore would eat Indian curries. They're not even living in India! They could eat Thai curries!!! Japanese curries! Borderline(or outright) stereotype.
I think what helped me eliminate C as soon as I read STILL REQUIRES HUMAN HOSTS is that the author alludes to the fact that cholera CAN spread without human hosts at the very beginning of the passage. It illustrates the position explicitly contradicting the author's main point.
I disliked and wrote off A) because of the adverb "significantly" and usually it's the right reason to eliminate in a number of NA questions I've encountered so far but in this situation, "significantly increases the risk" is necessary and it perfectly aligns with the conclusion because we're saying talking on the phone while driving is more DANGEROUS. Also if you negate B, the conclusion remains intact. Talking during a difficult situation vs silence? Improper comparison and irrelevant to the argument core/conclusion.
Y'all should've seen my face when I first read the stim timed.
Wowwww half scholly from BC and WUSTL with a 164 is amazing!!!!
I'm sure many of y'all are down to C and E and just cutting to the chase, as soon as I read those who were already highly motivated to exercise, I stopped. WHO ARE YOU? was what was in my head while doing this timed and during BR, I literally wrote down WHO ARE YOU?? You don't even need to get to how many of them were possibly included in the study. You just don't know who these folks are. Did these motivated kids watch the videos of themselves exercising? DUNNO. Okay then did they watch videos of other people exercising? DUNNO.
Seriously WTF is this question? This is THE question that I would HAVE to miss without wasting too much time and erroneously thinking I got it right because delusion would help me carry through to the remainder of the test. #mentalhealthcomesfirst

Theo, sorry it took me a while to get back to you! I had to call up the technician in my area and the problem had to do with bandwidth! I'm in Asia so whenever I had these issues, I was accessing in the evening/a.m. in North America. When I tried the opposite, it worked just fine. Are you familiar with your server's bandwidth? When it took me almost an hour to load PTs, it was being downloaded 20~30 kbs per second! :( Nothing has been fixed but as of 11:15am local time/10:15pm EST, it's great. This shouldn't happen though, right?
Hi there,
Great! I'm glad you were able to make it work.
Our servers are online 24/7 at a 100% so that's not supposed to happen. If you are in China however, we have noticed that our site (like many others) is much slower there. If that is the case, we have found that using a VPN speeds things up considerably.
I want to make sure that everything's working for you. It would be a big help if you can also try accessing the videos during the evening as you've mentioned.
If you notice anything weird, please let me know.
Theo, what's your e-mail address? Same thing happening all over again in the evening :/
I have a picture to send you; it's about how long it takes to access 7sage. @juliet7sage

Hi again,
I'm really sorry that you're experiencing this!
We haven't heard from other students that they are having similar issues.
I'd like to get to the bottom of this for you, unfortunately, we'll need more information. To help us narrow down what's causing the problem, here are a few things you can try:
Open/download the PDF using a different browser or download manager (e.g. Firefox)
Download a similar file size ~25MB from other websites (e.i. PDF, video, etc.)
Use a different device.
Please let me know how it goes.

Hi there,
We can try to set the PDFs to be download instead of opening them on Chrome. Here how to do it:
In Google Chrome, type chrome://settings/ at the address bar
Type "pdf" on the search bar found at the top of the settings page
Tap "Site Settings"
Scroll to the bottom and tap "PDF documents"
Tap on "Download PDF files instead of automatically opening them in Chrome"
You can then open your PDF files with your local PDF viewer (e.i. Sumatra PDF,PDF-XChange Viewer,Adobe Acrobat)
Please let us know if that helped.
@juliet7sage
Hi Theo,
Downloading takes just as long as opening on Chrome. Have you heard from other students experiencing this? I don't know what's happening.... I started downloading PTs 8 minutes ago and only a quarter of it has been received so far.... It's taking abnormally long which is crazy!

Hi there,
I am sorry about that. That must be very frustrating. I tried to reproduce the issue but I was unable to. Can you try clearing your cache? (Here's how to do it: https://classic.7sage.com/clear-cache/).
If that does not work, please let us know what type of device (Windows or Mac) you're using and what browser? We find that the Chrome browser works best with our site.
@juliet7sage
I cleared cache yet it's still not working, Juliet. I'm using Windows/Chrome.

Note too that they've not cancelled it in Italy, where they are over 10k cases. I believe there is one test centre in Rome.
That's inconsistent with what they did in South Korea. Only one test center there too and they canceled it when it was under 5k back in late February.
Those folks need to unwind by listening to Britney's Toxic and just chill. I feel like some realistic, seemingly "negative" advice can be warranted at times like people asking to improve from 140s to 170s in two months etc. But asking others to quit bc of where they stand currently is just wrong. I too am glad that I've found this community!

Lol honestly I think 1-20 for LR is the hardest LR, although I havent touched the 80s yet.
Couldn't agree more. 30s is the best though, unrealistically too straightforward. 80s were okay-ish until I hit 84 85 86 :(
What are your thoughts on LR from 1-20? I personally thought there was a significant difference between 1-20 and 20 onward in terms of LR.
Is it only China? Did you get any e-mails from LSAC?
You need to stop attempting (unsuccessfully) validating this assumption. We get that you’re from Singapore and my family lived in Singapore for eight years but the fact that your only reliance is on “I’m Singaporean so I know this is true” only goes against the LSAT philosophy and that of any standardized test: no testtaker should be at an advantage because of their background, especially their ethnic upbringing. You’re only hurting your argument. Gotta stop responding to multiple people in this thread that I created YEARS ago with that unwarranted assumption.
