Thanks guys! Dillon don't worry I wasn't going to do it here haha, was thinking of eBay but will consider the other places ya'll note!
Also, I am not allowed to print off fresh PDF copies of LSATs and sell them right?
Hi All,
I have finished up my LSAT studying and am seeking advice. I understand you aren't allowed to sell LSAT PDFs, but are you allowed to sell booklets? I have purchased about 15-20 LSATs from Amazon and am wondering if they have any value or if I should throw them out.
Thanks!
I do want to extend a big congratulations to LSAC, however, and specifically the author of the comparative passage. You truly succeeded in destroying my RC section. You might as well have written Passage A of the comparative in another language - it sounded like it wasn't English anyways! :open_mouth:
I'm trying to keep my hopes up this score is released ASAP. Last time the test was on Feb 4th it was released on the 24th (2006).
Hi all,
I took the LSAT for the first time last Saturday. I can't stop thinking about it. Sometimes I'll wake up and think I did fantastic, other times thinking I probably got destroyed. I probably play out the "worst case" and "best case" scenario in my head about 20x per day.
Is this normal? I was prepping at about 168 over the past month and honestly I could have gotten anywhere between high 150 and high 160. (the comparative reading passage was probably the hardest passage I have ever encountered, up there with space passage from PT76). If LSAC was smart (and at the same time cruel!) they'd give us an option to pay to get the results quicker! They'd be making bank.
Any other test takers going crazy like me!?

3, but I've identified 40 out of 52 real questions.
also mind sharing some of the others? could help us all out

unfortunately this doesn't help unless you know for fact that good treats was with a real, identified question. I'm leaning towards it being experimental though it seems many got it for their experimental section
Creasey but did you have 2 LRs or 3
Also, bikes & motor accidents - was that real?
One person talked about it but it doesn't seem confirmed, was the LR section that had a GoodTreatz question for #1 Real or Experimental?
At least for me personally, this depends on the game. In your situation, if I happened to repeat it a week later and had absolutely any hesitation on any of the inferences, questions, etc. - I mark it down for another repeat ( for ~week later). Otherwise, if I fly right through it and get all the inferences correct, then I'll usually move on from that game.
Yes, you are being paranoid. Let's say the worst case scenario happens, and the sheet doesn't go in the machine. Well, they very likely will have to manually check your score. Or let's say it goes in, but for whatever reason, doesn't release a score or releases a strangely weird score. Again, I think it would be common sense for them to check it manually. You will be fine!
I got this question wrong. I assumed that it could be true that the presence of an orderly system of government could stimulate critical thinking itself, but I guess i shouldn't have made that assumption.
Many Alz. patients have normal H levels.
So we don't know how many, but let's say 10% of Alz. patients have normal H levels, and 90% have above average H levels. Does the fact that we now know 10% of Alz patients have normal H levels weaken our support for the conclusion that doing something to lessen our levels of H will likely reduce one's chances of getting Alz? Definitely not.
On the contrary, if this answer choice said "Almost all" Alz. patients have normal levels of H (i.e. let's say 90%)- In that case, I do think that answer choice would weaken the support for our conclusion.
Something that tripped me up with this question: How do we know the influential people opposed. Is it a logical assumption that if they are adversely affected then they oppose? I mean if you can conclude that then you probably can assume supporting a law means benefitting from it.
Exactly. I guess this is a case in point that we have to eliminate our real world understanding and get into the world of the LSAT. I got this question wrong, but the fact of the matter is, if you negate C - argument is ruined.
September LSAT was written Sept 26th. I believe the actual LSAT was available for sale no later than November 15th~ which is about 7 weeks later.
The December LSAT was on December 3rd and 7 weeks later would be January 21st. The Holidays could affect that, but I wouldn't rule out the possibility of the test being released prior to Feb Exam.
This question I found was incredibly hard because it is probably one of the only PR's Q's where the answer choice topic also mirrors the stimulus topic (in a way, children = children and studying/school) which in 99% of the case is simply a trap answer choice.
Please count me in!
Hi Chipster - thanks for your reply. I'm still feeling light-headed. It's frustrating because it's not like I have a flu or a cold or anything, it's just I literally feel imbalanced whenever I'm walking around so something is clearly off.
I'm still on the fence over what to do. I think banking on my Feb LSAT score puts me at a disadvantage with Canadian schools since they would have sent at least half of their offers by then, so that would be frustrating.
Hi all,
First of all I have accommodations to write the LSAT for this upcoming Saturday (religious reasons). I'm on the fence of whether or not to reschedule for February.
I have planned all along to write for this upcoming Saturday. Really, the only reason that I wouldn't is if I got sick. Well, I have been feeling very light-headed since yesterday and had a sore throat. Thought maybe I'm just tired. Woke up, still light-headed, though no sore throat. It's like I have the flu but since I got the flu shot, the symptoms are limited. To sum, I am still quite light headed.
I planned to write my last prep test today, and did - LSAT 79. Relative to my other scores, I got an atrocious score (157). I have written ~14 prep tests in my preparation in the past couple months, with this being the lowest. My average prep test score is 163, and I'm hoping to get a score between 161-165 on the LSAT.
Clearly, the light-headedness influenced my score. Especially for RC, where I just blanked. I also added a 5th section - a LR from 77 and got a -10. I have tacked on sections from 77 to my previous prep tests, and got -3 on LR, -1 LG, and -6 on RC, so this again, was an outlier.
It is a tough decision. I have studied for a very, very long time. I first wrote the LSAT in October 2015 (way too early), and did poorly. Wrote again February 2016, did marginally better. So I am facing a 3rd take here, and the last take that can count for this cycle. In addition to this, I have schedule a trip to the Caribbean for 1 week, coming back shortly after the new year. That means after the vacation, I'll have 4 weeks to study, in addition to the 3 weeks i'll have before the vacation. All schools I applied to accept the Feb 2017 score.
My current thinking is this: I know my current condition influenced my PT79 score. If I wake up tomorrow feeling better, and can drill the different sections with my normal level of success and ultimately restore my confidence, I will write Saturday. After all, I got 163, 167, and 163 in the 3 prep tests I did prior to 79. If I'm still dizzy, then...it may be too much of a risk. another "variable" is the amount of prep tests I have remaining to work with is very limited, at least in terms of recent ones. I've done almost all of them, so I would be having to repeat them for my future prep. Perhaps this is fine, and my memory is quite bad so I don't think I'd remember the answers for the most, but still, it's a factor.
This is such a tough choice. What does everyone think? I would appreciate any advice.
I had ~ 30 seconds left to do this question and got the answer right from comparing the last sentence of stimulus to the choices.
The stimulus' last sentence was "based on past experience, union is quite likely to agree to this, so a strike is likely."
Answer Choice A: ends by saying "we can be sure..." - too certain compared to stimulus. Incorrect
B: "So Rodriguez" will donate, again, to certain. Next.
C: "R and K would not make suitable business partners" - move on
D: "So it is probable that Lopez will not win the marathon." Very similar to the stimulus in terms of certainty. Keep.
E: "The course will not be offered..." too certain.
From this, D is clearly the closest. This is incredibly rare that the concluding sentence of the stimulus only matches one answer choice - the right one. Most of these questions you can use the concluding sentence to knock out one or two answer choices, so in a sense, this was certainly lucky from my end.
I don't think I've seen a list, but I think it's a great idea to start one. Here's some to start it off:
1. LSAT 15, Game 2 (Map of Zendu with 4 regions that can intersect)
2. LSAT 41, Game 4 (Circular game)
3. LSAT 67, Game 4 (Subzones)
4. LSAT 72, Game 4 (Work week)
5. LSAT 77, Game 3 (Employees selecting offices)
6. LSAT 79, Game 4 (Virus game)
I got this wrong too. Line 21 "She proposes an approach..." and then she goes on. That's where proposal comes from.

Lol, nah. Plus you wouldn't be able to do that from 7sage anyway since they are DRM protected ;)
Back in the day, Cambridge LSAT (legally) sold PDFs online and I purchased about 20-30. I have some printed copies of the tests that I barely wrote on/did not at all, so I'm wondering about these in particular but I really doubt I'd be allowed :P
