Some test centers display a watch, some don't. Best to bring your own.
You can write whatever you want on the test booklet, provided you stay within the section you are working on.
Take a look at the instructions on your admission ticket; they tell you exactly what you may or may not bring with you.

Ahh thank you. Had no idea about this! Wow why would they do something like this?
Because they want to reuse the test in other administrations, for example, for Sabbath observers etc. Once a test is disclosed, it's gotta be taken out of their rotation of usable test forms.

I've read an article about the LSAT, printed in a law review, in which the author says that they showed a few LSAT questions to older law professors (who had not taken the modern LSAT), and many of them struggled with the questions.

I'm very sorry that @ was accused of bullying for simply bringing up solid arguments that he backed up with solid proofs. What a world we live in that almost everything has become a trigger phrase, and one is unable to argue different views, dispassionately and respectfully. Being exposed to views that one considers unorthodox and thus makes one uncomfortable used to be the hallmark of a university education -- its crowning glory actually, and the entire justification for tenure protection of professors -- but now . . .

To clarify further: I personally think the LSAT is a bunch of bunk (the correlation factor to success in law school is laughable -- show the numbers to any scientist, and see if he can keep a straight face) but if we accept that the test is a good predictor of law school success, surely speed has a lot to do with that.

In short: The idea that the ability to do the LSAT quickly is important is dubious, but the entire test is based on that premise. Insofar as it is important in predicting success in law school (the LSAT's entire claim to fame, dubious as that may be), it does not matter one whittle the reason why a person needs more time.

While I understand why this is a sensitive topic, empirically, lemegetuhhhh is 100% correct. Time-based accommodations for the LSAT are loony. For those who care about dispassionate, rational arguments, please read this study:

I don't get the explanation for why A is right. All we know is that do produce a good meal you can't have bad food. That would seem to imply that you could have a good meal with mediocre food. So how can you then take the the next conditional relationship between bad soil and good food to prove anything about good meals. All you can prove is that you can't have good food with bad soil. But maybe you can have mediocre food with bad soil. And if so, you can possibly produce a good meal with bad soil, since mediocre food can possibly produce a good meal.

Chose the credited answer, because nothing else came close, but I'm quite bothered with it. Where does the passage say, or even suggest, that the finding about neutrinos might someday be extended to a complete solution of the dark matter problem?

Apparently, schools are aware of when you begin filling out an application for them. I began an application to a certain school but did not finish it, and just got an e-mail from them telling me that they know that I began an application to them and should get a move on finishing it by the end of the month!
I'd like some advice for the inconsistent performance I'm seeing in my timed logic games sections. I can sometimes finish the entire section with a few minutes left over and get almost all the answers right, but other times, I'm very short on time, and can quite a few more wrong. Any insight into this discrepancy and how I can fix this?
This is an emotionally-charged topic that has sometimes led to threads being closed by @"Dillon A. Wright" but there's a great article in the New Yorker about the topic. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2017/10/09/the-limits-of-diversity Highly recommended for anyone interested. I think it could actually be made into a really good RC passage.

Hopefully, it'll be one of those years in which dozens of students are accepted off the waitlist.
Over at blueprint.com, someone posted predictions before the Sep. LSAT. He predicted (correctly, it turns out) that the LG section would not have any weird games. He thinks that this will be the norm in the future, because LSAC is scared of turning off potential test takers who might take the GRE instead. Wondering about what others think about this. Plausible, or not?

Certainly, if schools were sending out acceptances at the same rate as in previous years, then they would have reached the number of acceptances they need to yield their desired class size sooner in the cycle. Michigan and Penn are not going to change their class sizes just because there are more applicants, so it is possible that applicants who submitted later in the cycle are at more of a disadvantage this year.
As the discussion title says, the Dec. 17 LSAT is now available for purchase on Amazon. Hopefully @"Dillon A. Wright" will soon put up the electronic version for 7Sagers.
Here's a great post at powerscore.com that explains how September's LSAT was more difficult than June's for high scorers, but far easier than June's for average to below average scorers.

The bump depends on what type of URM, too. Not all URMs are as underrepresented as others. The more underrepresented, the bigger the bump.
Here's a funny story that illustrates a ridiculous usage of correlation (or really, coincidence in this case) proves causation:
I took the LSAT yesterday at the University of Delaware. They had us sit in an auditorium, and the only desk space we had were those small side desks that you often find at the side of auditorium seats. There was not enough space to even lay out the entire test booklet, let alone the the answer sheet. You would think that LSAC would ensure that testing centers are adequate for test takers. These testing conditions were particularly difficult for the LG section, which requires a lot of writing in the test book, and looking back to another page, where the main diagram is.
I was just looking over this past LSAT, which I took, and it hit me that there might be a bit of a trick to make substitution Qs easier. Part of the issue in substitution Qs, at least some of the time, is that once your diagrams, split game boards, etc. have become filled in to some degree, it's hard to unravel that and see exactly what the effect of a specific rule was. But if you check first, before making your diagram, if there's a substitution question, you can keep that specific rule in mind while diagramming and see clearly the effect of that rule. It happened to work like a charm for me while reviewing the substitution questions on the June 2017 LSAT. I'm wondering if anyone has tried this, and if not, perhaps it's worth a try.

Tonight, I was rejected by a school that my substantial improvement on the February LSAT would have made me much more competitive at (above 75th for GPA, right around median for LSAT). My old score was auto-reject territory, and I was denied within a day of my file going complete. While there is no way to know whether the outcome would have been different had they taken my new score into account---or if they did actually see it this morning but still deny me---I fear that they went ahead with the decision before they received the new information.
Kind of a bummer after working as hard as I could to raise my score 7 points, but ultimately my fault for not formally requesting a hold for my February score.
If you managed to increase your score at all, I suggest getting the word out to all of your reach schools so that the same does not happen to you. Don't wait on LSAC to send the new score report.
You can ask them to reconsider on the basis of the new score; some schools are open to doing so.

I think an important caveat to February test takers before doing RC of PT83: Do not expect RC to be this easy on the Feb. exam. The RC of PT83 was the easiest RC section in a long time, by a long shot, in my opinion.

This boils down to LG not being a science. It often hits me to do games differently the second, third, or fourth time through.
In the conditional sequencing game in PT 83,- JY decided not to split, but in an almost exactly same game in the past, he did decide to split (PT 73 game 1). JY is not a robot, so it doesn't surprise me that he'd do similar games, a few years apart, in different ways, It's vital to learn how to do both ways, anyway.
It's now available for pre-order on Amazon.

@ they were there! Haha I’m not the only one who saw em!
And I can deff agree with the bias they had lol
As for the T-15 thing, idc if they make fun of me. The problem was I was asking a serious question, and instead of answering, they all exploded about T-15 not existing. What help is that? Haha
Dude, I'm literally cracking up thinking about that. That's the most TLS thing I've ever heard. https://media.giphy.com/media/TUtr2Ky56D4Zy/giphy.gif
"Hey do you think my numbers will preclude me from the T15?"
TLSers: "There's no such thing as the T15, it's T13 now you idiot!"
Yeah... I can kind of see that happening now. Thinking back on it, TLS was full of a lot of sick people. I'm glad it's gone...
I was reading up on an old thread on TLS from a girl expressing her concern over her boyfriend's mental health while he was studying for the LSAT. Asked questions about burnout, etc. There were a couple of nice responses from TLS members about how they dealt with the LSAT & their mental health, but a lot of them were like "what a flamer, dump him" and "if he gets this depressed over an exam then maybe he should just give up on life" etc etc...
I've also mentioned on 7Sage before that I got made fun of on TLS for saying 'my lsat' instead of 'the lsat' lmao
A few good people on there, a lot of not-so-great people either.
Hey @,
That sounds a bit harsh even for TLS lol. Is that a direct quote or a paraphrase? If they did say that though, that's really terrible and those users are clearly what gives TLS a bad name. :(
Update: I found the thread and no one said anything about them giving up on life. One person (not a lot of them) did note that it may be a "flame" or a troll, however. There were pages upon pages of support and helpful advice. The few people who decided to be jerks were excoriated immediately. So it sounds like you had it backwards and there were 99% kind, thoughtful responses and only a few negative ones. The thread was also from nine years ago...
Also, I'm sorry people on TLS made fun of you for saying "LSATs" instead of "LSAT." I agree that making fun of people for such a ridiculous reason is annoying. There was always a lot of pointless correcting of people on TLS over law school lexicon and minutiae. Even so, sounds more annoying than anything. Next time you run into jerks like that, just ignore them :smile:
I guess the ironic thing to me is that if you go look on TLS, you don't see anyone talking bad about 7Sage's community; quite the opposite. TLS is a big, big supporter of 7Sage. And from my experience, most people are helpful and kind. Only a small minority are as bad as people suggest.
Then you look at this thread and there's a bunch of people making unfounded, negative claims about the folks over on TLS's forum. Many of which are people like me who belong to both communities.
I expect more from my fellow 7Sagers than to make such generalizations about a small minority of people. If you replace that minority of "TLSers" with any other minority of people (black, white, Californians, New Yorkers, etc.) you see how hurtful it can be to judge a whole group of people by the worst of their minority. We should strive to set an example and act in accordance with our own values and principles of being kind and supportive. Cheering on another community's downfall or making light of it isn't a kind thing to do. I love this community and all of you, so I hold you guys to higher standards. :heart:
... And I'm going to leave it at that. If anyone wants to talk TLS and reminisce, shoot me a PM :sunglasses:
@ with the super-cool mic drop!

It's kinda weird that we're talking about TLS being gone when the main contributors, mods, etc. just left and set up shop elsewhere. Anyone who enjoys the resources on TLS will have all that on lawschool.life
