Hi everyone! I finally received my first 100% on a timed LG set. Before, I would consistently get 100% under blind review, but was unable to perform under the clock. If anyone is struggling to close the gap between BR and timed LG score, message me. I am willing to tutor someone for free in LGs. My best LG type is In/Out.

Once you are at the stage of foolproofing, you should be doing the sets under timed conditions to ensure that you are able to make inferences and finish all the games in time. You should think of this stage as honing your skills for test day.
I agree with the users above that The Loophole is an excellent source and repetition is key. I would also like to recommend the book 33 Common LSAT Flaws by LSAT Max. This book gives the most detailed explanations for identifying flaws that I've come across so far. It uses old, real LR questions and analyzes them in depth for the most common flaws. The skills I've learned from this book have carried across to other LR question types as well. It also complements the 7Sage method nicely. I highly recommend it!
Congrats! People like you show how diagnostics aren't everything; you can break the 170 barrier with hard work and resilience...and you did! Amazing job!
Congratulations!! Resilience and hard work pays off! Thanks for the inspirational post. :)
@ Thank you so much!!
Hi everyone!
I have a question about the format of the LSAT Flex. Does the test look like the "7Sage" theme, the "Standard" theme, or something else? The themes that I am referring to are the ones 7Sage allows us to choose from when we are drilling questions under problem sets. I want to ensure that I am studying in the format I will see on test day.
Thanks!

Hi everyone!
This question is for anyone who has already taken the LSAT. I am wondering what is allowed during the 20 minute breaks between sections, specifically, if snacks are allowed. I am hypoglycemic, and if I don't have a small snack every few hours, my blood sugar drops. I get dizzy and my brain performance suffers. If they do allow snacks during the breaks, how does this work? Can you bring your own? Or are there ones for purchase at testing centers? Any input would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

E is tricky to understand because it’s a comparative statement with modifiers attached to each statement. E must be true. It must be true that at least some of the theories tested over time and found useful are less useful than ones that have not been fully absorbed. This is because we know that common sense is always progressing by the gradual replacement of more useful theories. AC B is wrong. Of the useful theories, we can’t prove that the older ones are generally less useful than the newer ones. What if most of the theories never actually got replaced because they were too good to be replaced? The oldest ones could be the most useful and it could be the newer ones that get gradually replaced by more useful ones to aid in the continuous progression of common sense.

Hi everyone! I am still taking on clients for Logic Games tutoring. I have had a lifelong passion for teaching. Your success is my priority! Please message my inbox for more details 🙂
I would like to add to JY's description for why answer choice D is wrong. Notice how it says damage. Damage does not necessarily imply death or a lessoning of the plankton population. Maybe the damage is minor and they simply got ill? Either way, answer choice D is flawed for a plethora of reasons, this being one of them.
Congratulations! You should be so proud of this amazing accomplishment! 🎉
Hi there!
If you are seeking a tutor for logic games, you have come to the right place. I have yet to take the LSAT (working on other sections), however, I have conquered the games section. I can provide proof of my scores on various game sets. I can help with any type of game and I will create a custom study schedule for you based on your needs. If you are interested, please message me for more details.
I look forward to helping you reach your LG goals!
Nicole
This is incredible! Thanks for sharing your story!
Hi,
Yes, the LSAC takes into account both grades for repeated classes. On my transcripts, since they were from different schools, you can see my original grade in one class and the new grade that was redone at a different college. If the original grade is no where on your transcript though, I don't know how the LSAC would find out about it. If they can see both grades, they will definitely count both as they did with my situation. However, if there is no trail of the repeat class, I don't think they would know about it since they only evaluate what they are given. Even though it only shows one grade on your transcript, is there any evidence that you've retaken the class (such as the same class listed again for another semester with no pervious grade showing)?
Hi there,
I am fool proofing LGs right now too and I find miscellany games to be the hardest. I am solid on all the other game types except miscellany. If you click under resources and then problem sets, you can get a sneak peak at what types of games are in all the PTs before you take them. If you do this, you will see that many of the recent PTs have hard miscellany games. With that being said, I think it definitely worth the effort to master all of games, even old ones. This way, no matter what weird miscellany game is thrown at us on test day, we will have the skills to take on anything. If we master hard and weird games, our skills will only be sharpened. Plus we will have more confidence on test day which is invaluable.

Hi everyone!
I'm planning to take the LSAT this summer of 2020 (in either June or July). I would love to know the test dates so that I can plan my study schedule accordingly.
Does anyone know, based on past years, around which month the LSAC usually announces the summer LSAT dates? I just would like a general idea to know about how long I'll have to wait for this information.
Any input would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks! 😁
Nicole
This is amazing! Congratulations! 🎉

Hi everyone!
Has anyone taken the LSAT on an iPad? I am looking into getting one with a BlueTooth keyboard and pen. I want to make sure that I can run all the software needed to take the test on this device.
Thanks!
I was between ACs B and C. AC B is incorrect because it tells us that the students were already good at writing automatically before the writing lessons, but it doesn’t strengthen the correlation between writing automatically and improved composition skills. AC C is correct; it strengthens the correlation by giving us a more complete spectrum. The stimulus is focused on kids who improved the most. AC C is telling us that in general kids who showed greater improvement in writing automatically also improved in their composition skills. This shows that the correlation doesn’t just pertain to the small subset of students who improved the most, it pertains to students in general.
Hi everyone!
I just have a question about the course structure for the Ultimate+. After the core curriculum, there are 4 sections called Drills from PrepTests 01-09, Drills from PrepTests 10-19, Drills from PrepTests 20-29, and PrepTests 1-35. For each of these sections it shows "0 mins" next to each. Are these looked at as extra and not part of the main testing material?
How should I go about studying? By plowing through all of these sections labeled zero mins first? Or by skipping ahead to the first official PrepTest with a time next to it? My fear is a lack of time for finishing all the material so I'd like to be strategic in my approach.
Any advice on how to approach my studies?
I am currently in the middle of reading comprehension.
Thanks!
Nicole
The Loophole is fantastic and I highly recommend it! Also, check out the book 33 Common LSAT Flaws by LSATMax. Even though the book is specifically about flaws, what you learn can be applied across all LR and RC. It includes real LSAT questions from old PTs and gives detailed explanations for why each answer choice is wrong or right. It is a quick read and highly informative!
This question is close to an MSS question. The correct AC is supposed to illustrate the stimulus. I was between C & E. The word “manipulation” seemed too strong to me. However, C is wrong because it says, “even well thought out plans can fail”. Is it failing though? We don’t know. Customers are complaining of inconvenience, but they could still be shopping there anyway. AC E says, “manipulation of customers can have unwelcome consequences”. Manipulation is illustrated by forcing customer to walk past other products to get to the staples. The unwelcomed consequences would be the alienation of customers. This is much more supported than C.
I got this correct in BR. I realized that C was the much stronger AC over A. AC A is telling us that there is a weaker correlation between these two things. Okay, but how much weaker? We don’t know. It could be only slightly weaker. This is telling us that there still exists a correlation. AC C is much stronger. It helps one of the main premises in the argument. Okay, so most of the studies only had people without insomnia, and in many of the studies, only a few were affected by melatonin. AC C says that of the studies with insomniacs included, only non-insomniacs were significantly affected. This is a much stronger AC because it strengthens the argument that melatonin doesn’t necessarily help insomniacs.
Hi there!
I had a 144 diagnostic and I recently scored a 172 on a PT! There is hope everyone. Never give up!
Hi everyone,
I am seeking a tutor for RC. I would like a session once a week for 1.5 hours. If you are an RC tutor (or you know a good RC tutor) please message me for more details.
Thanks,
Nicole
@ This is fantastic news! Thanks so much for sharing! :)
@ Thanks so much! You're gonna kill it next month!
@ Sounds like you are definitely burnt out. Take some time off and do something you enjoy. Every time I've taken a week off I've gotten a new high score on my next PT! Sometimes it's the reset our brains need to come back stronger!
Keep your head up everyone! Remember this: progress, not perfection!
@ Thank you! I'm trying to stay as positive as possible. Same here! RC is my worst section and I had an experimental RC with RC being the hardest of the three sections. Part of getting a high score is luck. We need the cards to fall in our favor and play on our strengths! We still have plenty of time before the October exam to improve. Let's keep the mindset that we are going to crush October (regardless of our score on Friday)!!
Hi there!
I would take October. Don't rush into another test before you are ready. The less times you have to take the test, the better! Also, October is still early. You would get your score back end of October/early November and still be able to apply early decision for some schools if you'd like. Also, I've heard from numerous admissions officers that applying before Thanksgiving is still considered early in the cycle.
Best of luck to you. You got this! Keep fighting! Always remember- progress, not perfection!

Hi everyone!
I wanted to start this as an emotional support thread. I am sure I'm not the only one anxious awaiting my score on September 10th! Let's throw out some positive energy! I hope everyone is focusing on their mental health and well-being during this time!
How are you all feeling?!
Hi everyone!
If you are in need of LSAT books/ materials please message me. I am at the end of my studies and no longer need them!
Nicole
Hi there! Yes, you can. In the top right corner under resources, click problem sets. From there you can add questions or sections to your shopping chart. Then you can drill what you put in your cart. I hope this helps!
