Unless you plan on applying January forget it. I applied for fall 2021 admission after taking the january test and in every single interview they told me i was too late, that most offers of admission had already been sent out back in december. Because of this, I was waitlisted and then denied from the 4 schools applied with all of them saying the same thing: you should have applied earlier.

Nov. 11 exam

That was brutal. Ive gotten a 155-156 average on my PTs and was hoping for a 156-157 score for this but I doubt it. One of the logic games I can't even tell you if it was sequencing or grouping (Ive been drilling grouping games for the past 4 days) so I completely guessed on that whole game. The logical reasoning game felt impossible I guessed on a sold 15 and the 2 of the RC passages were so confusing. I don't understand how this happened I was feeling so confident and focused.

taking the November LSAT this Wednesday but not feeling confident at all so I definitely plan on taking the january test as well. What I'd recommend is to look at the application deadlines for the schools you're interested in and take that into consideration. The schools I want for example are rolling admission September- March so obviously the sooner you apply the better chance you have at getting in. If you're gonna take the january test I'd have my applications, essay/s and letter/s of rec ready to go.

Necessary assumption: (STRENGTHEN THE CONCLUSION)

 

Wording/How to Spot

• of question

◦ "required"

◦ "rely"

◦ "depend"

• of stimulus "then", Only, only if, only when, only where, always, must

◦ Ex: You must eat to live

• Live --> eat

 

How to Tackle

• Find an assumption that needs to be true for the conclusion to be true/argument to work

• Answer needs to be true for support/ to prove conclusion

 

Correct Answers

• Essential to argument

• Connect evidence to conclusion

• Rule out obstacles/alternatives

• Pass negation test

 

Trap Answers

• Helpful but not important

◦ Support or fix the argument (sufficient assumption)

• Contradicts conclusion

• Too strongly worded given the argument's scope

 

 

SUFFICIENT ASSUMPTION: (FIX THE REASONING)

Wording/How to Spot

• In question

◦ "follows logically"

◦ "Enables" + "properly drawn"

◦ Assumption: "if" or "assumes"

• In stimulus

◦ if, when, where, all, the only, any, every time, anyone, whenever

• If you are a Jedi then you use the force

▪ Being a Jedi is enough to use to force

• Passage relationship:

◦ Chain of premises linking together: answer is the missing link

 

Fill the hole

• Identify flaw or gap between premise and conclusion

• Fix the reasoning of argument to make it valid

• Make argument air tight

• What is wrong vs. how to fix it

• Answer can:

◦ Provide new info that helps conclusion

◦ Have a strong tone

 

Trap answers

• Strengthen argument

◦ Provides argument with something it needs without making argument valid

• Nothing to do with argument

◦ Match subject matter but don’t provide missing connection

◦ Unrelated to conclusion

◦ Unrelated to reasoning

• Restates premises

• Brings new information

When to take my first real LSAT

Hi guys I really need some advice on when to take the LSAT. I was planning on taking the October 3, 2020 exam and then the November 14th, 2020 to have law school applications done in December early January but I do not know what to do. I have been using khan academy for the past 2 months and keep getting mid-to highs 140s. I just signed up for 7sage and I NEED a 160. What should I do about the exams? should I postpone one and take it in January and delay applications? What are you guys' experience with 7 sage in terms of how many points did you increase in 2 months? HELP!!
