The fact that kids who completed the program actually went on to work hard at their GPA does not seem to actually weaken the argument though. The reasoning here is that the stimulus mentions "contributed to". The fact that A (GPA requirement) contributes to B (GPA achieved) does not invalidate C (spatial reasoning from chess) also contributing to B (GPA achieved). I recognized this and so eliminated C.

Meanwhile, AC B's comparative of kids who finish and kids who don't presents a "selection bias" phenomenon. Ofc AC B also carries with it the inability to account for increased levels of achievement, so in hindsight it being wrong makes sense.

Can anyone offer explanations for why C is right given the analysis above?

Soo, I just called them and at first they were like "oh we have a lot of test takers, so many people will inevitably have to take the test in late afternoons and at night." After that they told me they would get in touch with someone that could help and get back to me.

Tbh after that call, it does seem that they aren't be super inclined to shift timing, but who knows! Maybe if all of us call them, they'll get the message?

I'll call them up today too. Yeah, this timing is pretty unacceptable for sure! And @wilsonhsu1115786 I got 17th too... Which I think its ok, a tad more time to adjust...

@ttori96650 have you tried this yet? If yes, does it work?

Because I've finally adjusted a perfect sleep cycle for morning exams, now it seems like I might also try to reset that sleep cycle to best match my exams times again...

So with the ProctorU user name problem, go and reset password first thing. The default account thing that we apparently have are not accessible, and you'd need to click forgot password to get through.

As with the 405 error, I had that, kept refreshing, and eventually I restarted computer and picked different browser, and that fixed it apparently.

With international timings, its 16-18th for Australia, so I guess Ill have a rough few days stressing out about the exam whilst everyone else is done.

I disagree actually, the "confidence" would not be true if one thinks that there are no odds against one. Thus, I do think that this could be a NA AC.

This was exactly why I eliminated AC E too

I was thinking the exact same thing

Hey! I'm down, still open to this?

Little bout myself, also taking the July Flex, and now PTing!

Interested! Taking July/August session too

@jiyunlee0906529 thanks for the response! So with the proctoring system, I know for a fact that ProctorU tracks IP addresses and can catch VPN (my sister's uni uses ProctorU and she was immediately required to turn off VPN)... So I guess this resolves our dilemma....

In your case though, any chance you can take the exam in a nearby country/city? In my case, the test center is open, but just that its in October..

@sakethsaran1998111 true, but for non-resident aliens, they wouldn't necessarily have a US issued government ID though. But yeah, it is a risk for sure.

@emmanuelhabashy98 well, I mean not trying to beat it tbh, just trying to get a better exam date.... But your point remains valid for sure

@rwilso22179 Hey! Sorry, I just saw this. So with the CC, I watched all videos, but only took half of the CC timed sets (usually the first half), because I want to be able to come back later when I needed to drill a specific question type.

Now, with learning the content, I prioritized material coverage and understanding the course content, rather then immediately being able to replicate JY's logic every step of the way. This was because I personally don't learn well when it comes to replicating someone else's work, so I went with knowing how JY does it, and determine my own path a little later on during PT and question sets.

In your case, if you know for sure that you won't be able to devote almost all of your time to an intensive schedule, I recommend that you push the test back. The reasons are:

If you think you're not ready, then taking the test would not be reflective of your capabilities, and the results may not be the best motivation available in this process

The course intensity is high to begin with, making it more intense may damage your motivation, and that in turn may harm your preparation

The core curriculum is designed to be internalized and the content is supposed to serve as a stepping stone to practicing full timed test process, so if you want more time to finish the curriculum, I strongly suggest for you to give yourself that time!

The LSAT is hard, and going through the 7Sage Curriculum on a tight schedule feels like torture at times... But at the end of the day, its about learning the content and trying to do the best you can, so if you feel like the schedule isn't for you, its totally fine to just extend the timeline.

My 7Sage predicted timeline involves completing CC in 2 weeks, doing 9-10 PT per week after that, and somehow BR and learn everything there is to learn. I had planned on following the timeline exactly, but when I hit the end of LR, I knew it was not going to happen. Ever since, I have been revising my own timeline to make sure I stay motivated!

Anyhow, good luck in your preparation!! I think you have an idea of what works for you, just go for it! :)

I was in a similar situation as you, I registered for June 28 (intl.) LSAT, and got 7Sage with about 8-9 weeks to prepare. Looking at those estimated timeline is not a good indicator, because it includes all of those practice questions (with BR method and review time included), and ALL of the available PTs (again with BR and review time included).

I have nothing else going on, so I am literally studying every single day (which sucks at times ngl...). I designed a 56 days study plan for daily studies, PT, and Drills. I have prioritized coverage over deep drills in my first pass, and left about half of all available PTs untouched in case I need to retake the test.

Following my plan, I covered the entire CC in 3 weeks, and took an additional week to consolidate on my missed concepts along with both Loophole and the Powerscore Bibles. Currently I'm PTing and Drilling on missed concepts and underperforming sections.

So far, I have went from consistently scoring mid 150s to now hovering around 167 in 5 weeks. I can definitely say 7Sage is worth it, and a 8-week timeline is doable, though definitely unadvisable. Whilst this is my certainly my case, and with LSAT moving Intl June exams to July Flex (so I have more time), I am still sticking with my original study plan.

In principle, I agree with others that a in-depth coverage of the CC is unadvisable. From my experience, however, with an approach that balances aggressive time management and coverage, finishing 7Sage's curriculum is achievable within 8 weeks.

I mean "need not" implies it doesn't have to (very weak way of saying it's possible that something won't happen), and AC A says "tend to", which is also very weak. On the basis of the strength of ""need not" and "tends to", it's a choice that could potentially be right if E didn't exist because both of those terms are so vague.

Well, thats the thing, "these awful six months are still not long enough to kill the plants and freeze the dinosaurs" is an assumption, and one that is totally not warranted by the stimulus. But yeah, I picked C to begin with.

Brisbane, Australia June 28 LSAT is confirmed July Flex. Just got email from LSAC.

Hey! I'm on the same boat, and haven't heard anything whatsoever from LSAC (aside from that one mistaken email that tried to get to sign up to a flex timing) about the administration of the test.

Following also to hear from others.

Btw I'm registered to take the test in Brisbane, Australia.

Man this is a lil savage.....

Statistically speaking, a sample of 1000 is adequate for a survey to be representative/reflective of the population IF its a representative or random sample, just fun fact to think about lmao

Imo, whilst drilling through them all makes a lot of sense for sure, I am personally under a pretty tight deadline to move through the curriculum.

I'd recommend that if you have enough time, you can just finish the questions in the drills. But if you're pressed for time, do the second half (as they are generally harder then the first half).

Just my take though, haven't sat my official lsat yet, so I guess take my comments with a grain of salt.

Also would love to join if still possible!
