in the new LSAT format where they don't even highlight the phrases, i have to sit and count sentences. In the paper days, they had numbering for lines. The test creators just going backwards.
on the other hand, if you're taking this drill after June 2026 and got it wrong, count yourself separate from the 72% of people who got it right. Because they had the phrases highlighted/lines numbered and thus did not waste time finding the sentences. Free yourself from false self-imposed punishment for not getting it right.
Okay so just make sure whether your portal says 11pm UTC or not. You need to convert to your timezone from UTC.
And if you're on the east coast, then convert to EDT not EST. Apparently that is a difference too. Pls double check before you just follow whatever im saying here tho. Just wanted to let you things as I am finding out too.
honestly the whole thing is ridiculous. i just noticed mine says UTC but their email states 11 am EST. How about using consistent way to mention time, lawhub??? 🙄
its their new policy. "First register, first in line". My understanding is you get a scheduling time assigned to you based on when you paid for the registration fee. 11 am is when their scheduling for everyone starts. I might be wrong in my interpretation, but if EVERYONE got 11am in their email but on individual links we get different times, then this is what it probably means
"...a rule whose implementation would likely cause less harm than it would prevent"
....... what?
i tried to parse this ridiculous sentence. then i tried to imagine what kinda situation this could be describing. No help. If someone got this right, pls explain what process you used. I hate feeling like i couldn't get an answer right despite understanding the stupid ass passage itself.
@PowerUp_Tutoring pls elaborate. how are you using highlighter to eliminate wrong answers?
how frustrating. I select pink highlight for one question. I move to next question. It defaults to yellow. I don't want the yellow. i want the pink.
what a stupid problem to have.
sigh.
@Natsai_Ndebele click on the highlighted part and an option "remove" shows up.
thanks for rolling it out in time. I started using this and i noticed some problems with the interface on an RC section:
i prefer pink while reading the passage. But when i move to the questions, the highlighter color defaults to yellow. Why is that? just keep it to the last used color.
idk how to explain this without showing like a screencap whenever i move to the next question, the passage view "jumps" or shifts to a different part of the passage from where it was before. This is annoying AF. Especially for those questions involving 'meaning in context', implied, function a paragraph, etc.
I need the dang passage view to STAY consistently at where i leave it as I move forward in the questions.
Before you could place the text cursor in the middle of a WORD and click+select would highlight the entire word. Now clicking+select will just highlight the word partially. Makes the word look like a half lit neon sign.
overall all the design changes have been some really counterintuitive features. But these problems come across as erroneous rather than a makeover. So it would be nice to have them fixed.
when you negate "most" to "few" you'd be so confused
but if you negate "most" to "not most".. the extreme of which is "none", this choice make sense.
that is true. i would think B as an additional/separate piece of evidence that supports the conclusion independently. It does not touch on the topic of cars. Author is telling us so much about these cars and corrosion not being a case anymore. So its in your best interest to assume author thinks these cars have something to do with the principle.
right answer is link assumption, and it links a mental state with reality.
if the public feels the artwork does not benefit, then the artwork actually does not benefit.
@VioletSorrengail The drill page has this font, the one the whole website has. Idk the names of the fonts, but OP is right. The font is throwing me off too, especially when the font size is set to large IMO. And OP is just asking to apply the same font as whats on BR page to the drill page. That is how it was before they brought their own version of Aug 2026 look. If they can legally use the font on BR page, they can use it on the drill page too.
@bob247hammer the right answer needs support FROM the passage. (B) could offer support TO the argument in the passage. The question stem is of the 'implied' tag.
A) by breaking sacrosanct social contracts, the person is committing "moral failure"
this is most strongly supported = implied
B) our author is concerned about preserving economic health. And the punitive defender would say, by punishing also you can protect the economic health.
this reads as strengthen/strongly supports their argument.
@Stas1973 hey! i understood the explanation and i agree that (D) favors the new theory over the traditional. But I thought it also contradicts the premise "light shells are more frequent where the floor is light-colored"
and I thought we aren't supposed to deny the premises. Maybe we can deny the premises if their purpose is to support the old theory? Am i right in inferring this?
Just realized that this is more like "what is a MBF situation for old theory and a MBT situation for the new theory?" lol
@bella_nova there is only ONE answer choice that will strengthen and the others will not strengthen at all.
@PowerUp_Tutoring i would have had an easier time accepting (A) if it said "the preference of children who did not watch tv were influenced by the preferences of children who did watch" And then, yeah, telekinesis or whatever could have been the method. BUT i do agree, the question stem indicates "if true" and that is enough to forgo the method in which they were influenced.
I get that an AC that provides a causal mechanism is a sure way to strengthen. But how is a causal mechanism like this supported by "listening alone"?? That's all they did! Just by listening they figured who had emotions and who didn't. So why is it reasonable to infer that a change in the vocal cords and lungs is something that can be discerned by listening?
@Stas1973 hey! I think that type of answer choice is tagged as 'failed alternate explanation'. And yeah, C falls short a little. We can't undermine the conclusion better bc his evidence 'ferrous material' is still present and it has just as much a fair chance for being THE cause. (D) weakens better by showing a cause is present but the effect is not. The conclusion is purely about the effect.
@ElizabethGraceSwartzwelder me too. i found it hard too. I actually inferred (D) to be a strengthen. Being like, yeah sure if you affect the brain activity with medication, you will affect its effect, the hyperactivity.
@DaliaGolovcoYes that does help. I did get caught up in trying to validate the gap between "largest possible share for bland shows" and "there are some viewers who would refuse to watch controversial shows". But it makes mroe sense to be little bit more grounded in the approach by just identifying the conclusion and premise and worrying about the quantifiers later.
@Stas1973 I think (A) is wrong for a simpler reason. That, patty just wanted computer lessons at kindergarten and then in HS. "regular training" goes beyond that. Meanwhile Q was like, despite them being taught in KG and HS, their computer knowledge will be useless when they're adults. Q Assumes that the same old lessons are the only takeaways from those classes. But there could be other takeaways, like developing the ability to interact.
I eliminated (C) because it did not mention explicitly "advancing tech" which is what parent Q was concerned with.
And too many freaking times I've gotten answers wrong for not reading properly. Now that I did read properly, and I'm like "this AC is a little incomplete with what i'm looking for" i still got it wrong.
i am tired of this nonsense
I recently discovered that now we can filter by Answer choice tags in Analytics > Questions. Could we get the same feature under Drills as well? Would be useful to know which type answer choice I keep gravitating towards every time I pick the wrong answer.
could you change the default line height spacing to be smaller? Currently the default spacing is too large compared to how it looked with the old font. With the large line spacing and the short, round new font, the stimulus looks like a string of characters rather than separate words. It makes a difference because way too often students find themselves looking back at the stimulus to recollect and identify familiar words from the answer choices. And it's disabling to not be able to quickly identify where the words are located when it just looks like a long string of round characters. Especially when the font size is set to 'large' or greater.
identify what exactly is making you wanna jump ahead. Is it the time running? Just so much abstract words that appear like word mash? Or a combination of many things? Knowing this can be helpful to know what to focus on fixing first.
If it's time, build conceptual understanding that it becomes your second language. When someone comes at you with a causal flaw, you should be able to recognize it immediately.
If it's abstract writing, and for me, this was harder to identify. I thought all hard level questions were all the same. But no, when they start talking about morals and economic nonsense, i genuinely start losing focus. So figure out how to visualize it by relating it with things you already know about the real world. The LSAT does not want you detached from your own experiences even though at times it may feel like it. So rely on your knowledge about moral values and how the economy works in the real world. Or whatever it is you struggle with.
These are some tips i can think of. Slow down at first. And good luck with the reading because there's a lot of reading. All the time. :)
