LSAC says "no erasers with sleeves" (http://www.lsac.org/jd/lsat/day-of-test).

I'm pretty sure they meant erasers with paper wrapping that you can easily take off and on.

I use this eraser because it's so easy and quick for me to erase things on my answer sheet: https://www.amazon.com/Pentel-Eraser-Retractable-Assorted-ZE21BP3-K6/dp/B001HA77OO

But it has a black case. Is this considered a sleeve? Any help or insight would be appreciated. Thank you!

Worst case scenario, I'm thinking the proctor looks at my eraser and tells me to chuck it, in which case I'll have brought a back-up plain eraser.

Does anyone know if OLSAS keep letters of recommendations on file for an extended period of time? I am wondering this because I applied a couple of years ago and I'm reapplying this year. If they keep letters on file, then i won't need to ask my professors again

Hey guys,

I am registered for the September LSAT and 7sage recommends i take preptest 39-44 before test day. I've done 36, 37 and 38 so far (timed). I'm wondering if I should take the 6 most recent preptests timed since the newer ones can be different from the older tests and no one wants surprises on test day.... if i follow 7sage recommendations, i would be oblivious to the new tests. Do preptests change dramatically enough for me to worry about this problem? Any advice? Thanks in advance.

When I look at a potential study schedule, it lists various preptests. Are these included in the initial price?

These preptests that are listed; I assume that are a review is covered in the price of the ones that are actually listed, correct?

I've been starring explanations that I would want to rewatch from various tests and assumed I'd be able to filter for them. But when I went to the question table, I see that we filter by the flag icon? and the videos that I had starred aren't pulling in. Any one know a work around?

I was curious to know if anyone has taken the C2 test and what they thought about its difficulty.

Note:

I am having trouble trying to narrow down the person I should ask to write me a second letter of recommendation. I already have a professor who has taught me for three years. However, I have been volunteering at a homeless shelter/soup kitchen on a monthly basis for a year and the manager offered to write me a letter. Moreover, this summer I worked for the government (employment and social services) in an office and my supervisor had also offered to write me a letter (I've only known her for 4 months). Finally, I've worked at my father's law firm for four summers but I think asking his partner for a letter would look a little sketch seeing my last name on the letter. I can't decide who can possibly write me a stronger letter or who is the better choice?

Hey guys! I hope your study is going well... I just have a few questions you may be able to help with:)

I have been a bit confused on the exact definition of a few common words that continue to appear on LR Answer Choices. For example, "It qualifies the conclusion of the argument." I have always thought that to qualify something, you make it more relevant, or more suitable. Or to be eligible for something. Is this what the LSAT writer means as well?

And another, "Takes for granted that there are only two possible alternative explanations." Does this mean that, the argument assumes that there are only two explanations, without supporting with evidence?

And lastly, is there a difference between "Phenomenon and Correlation?" JY's lesson explains that Correlation includes two events happening concurrently but many answer choices use the word, "Phenomenon" in a confusing way. They use it when the stimulus seems only to address simply a causation/correlation event.

I am sure there is some document out there that defines the LSAT's common words..if so, I would LOVE to see that:D

Thank you all for the help!!

Hello! I studied LSAT 3 years ago, then I thought it was premature, so I went to a grad school.

I took 2013,December LSAT and at the time I received two LoRs from my undergrad professors, didn't apply. They are still in my LSAC account.

Now I am taking September LSAT. Do I need a new LoR to apply for 2017 or can I just use those ones I already have?

Thank you guys in advance!

Good luck for everyone!

Re-posting in this forum in addition to the discussion on the explanation video -

I'm having a hard time with A. Doesn't the contrapositive of A also link the ought & promise?

Thanks!

I am determined to get a 169+ on the LSAT and I am consistently scoring around 164-165. My very first score without studying was 147 so I have come a long way in the last 4 months (hardcore been studying for past 2). My last score was 165 but due to running out of time on one section, otherwise I would've pulled out a 169 or more. I am taking the September 24th LSAT and don't tell em to postpone because A. I can't anymore, B. I am going for this test. I need advice on how to break through this plateau and improve. Logic games I usually miss anywhere from 0-3 at the very most. Logical reasoning can be anywhere from 0-7 most of the time I miss like 2 in an early LR section and the later section I miss more. And then reading comp varies since if I understand a passage I can pull out missing zero but if its a hard passage I can miss in total anywhere from 2-8. I need a 169 or above and I want to hear from people who increased their score within 3 weeks. I am studying every single day for several hours a day. Any tips would be nice.

Hi everyone,

I have an opinion question for people who may be in my position and already spoken to admissions teams about this topic.

I have an undergrad GPA of 2.8 from a state school-I did not take school very seriously and was working full time while going. Anyways, I graduated in 2011 and have since been to school again for a MA in education, with a GPA of 3.9. My PT LSAT scores are coming in around 158-165 depending on the day.

Does anyone have opinions on trying for T15 schools or going for a state school with a good local network? I have a small daughter as well so being somewhere cheaper/more scholarships would be helpful. Most T15 schools seem to have VERY high cost of living. Is anyone else relying on grad GPA for admission? Thanks!

So, I just did timed pt and scored 16/24 on logic games (ran out of time on the 1st question of the last game). Do you think if i print the games from pt 1-35 and just drill them until I get them right under time conditions it will improve my score? Will 35 tests be enough? Ideally, obviously, I would like to get them all correct. Though being realistic about my skills, I am aiming to get 22/24 on the actual day.

Well, I have no idea what this is, but I'm running out of ideas.

Hi guys,

I've reached a precarious situation in which my performance on the RC has become a trade-off between time and accuracy. If I try to run through the passages quickly, I tend to get many answers incorrect. If I try to spend more time on each question, I generally increase my chances of getting those questions right but I find it difficult to finish the last passage (not necessarily the 4th one). Does this happen to anyone else? How can I resolve this conundrum?

So... my question is whether I'm making the right decision by taking the September LSAT. I have a 3.8 GPA and I'm aiming for a 164-166 on the LSAT... Now, from the last 5 PT's, I've scored 161 twice, 164 twice and a 162. I've noticed that on days where I wake up feeling really good, I end up getting a 164, which makes me feel like I'm literally RIGHT there at around a 164-166 range. The issue is that i'd wanna hit the score a few more times before test date so i can go in confidently. (Which can still happen given that i have a couple more weeks.) Another thing is that if I do miss my target score by a couple points, I can take it again in December with a bit more improvement so I'd have two tries at it. Anyway, i feel like this post is all over the place lol. What do you guys think? (I also want to take the test earlier so i can submit my apps earlier, which would give me an advantage in the application process.) I'd appreciate any feedback.

Hi guys,

Whenever I'm conducting a blind review on logical reasoning I always find that at the end of the test I've circled anywhere from 12-17 questions for review per section. I am usually scoring in the high 160s but I feel like this is too many questions to not be 100% sure about. Has anyone else found this?

Also do people do a blind review of LG and RC the same way? Usually I end us just redoing those entire sections for practise.

I got a question for high scorers; when you see an argument like PT 22 - Section 4 - Question 21 that have sufficiency necessity confusion but you decide to not map it out, do you have a absolute certainty that it is sufficiency necessity confusion or you just have a feeling for it? I am asking because when I read the question I thought it probably is sufficiency necessity confusion but I was not 100% sure until I mapped it out during BR.

For example buy 10 explanation credits at a time and you can use them for any question on any PT that has a video.

I don't need to have the videos to every question on every test but would like to watch a couple on every PT I have taken. I won't spend $30 to have 2 questions explained but I would consider $1-$2 for each question.

Peace and Love fam.

Hello,

I really liked the RC explanations, and just wondering do you have explanations for RC only?

Like, for the newest 10 PTs or something like that?

Thanks!

Hi,

I'm taking the 7sage starter pack and I just got to Must be True questions. I really want to go faster on my valid logic arguments, but I don't want to waist LSAT questions before I'm actually comfortable with valid logic formulas. I was wondering if there were any sort of website or books that could give me drills for logic problems. Thanks!

I am BRing this question and am having a hard time convincing myself why the answer is A. not E. any input would be helpful.

Descriptive Flaw Question:

Scientists found that there is a greater frequency of illness among people who sleep atleast 8 hours per night than there is for people who sleep significantly fewer hours. This shows that mild sleep deprivation isn't unhealthy and probably bolsters your immune system

A. Another factor that contributes to both phenomena - Sure this seems reasonable maybe eating a bunch of kale makes you sleep terribly and also makes you get sick less often so sleep deprivation doesn't bolster your immune system

B. Wrong - The passage doesn't take a position on whether sleeplessness is the ONLY factor that contributes to immune system development, this is not a flaw with the argument

C. Wrong - An amalgamation of LSAT buzzwords that is meant to attract plebs

D. Wrong - I don't think it takes for granted that an observable correlation would occur, it sounds like the passage establishes that something observable happened and tries to explain it.

E. The passage says "wow people get sick less frequently when they're sleep deprived, it must be that sleep deprivation is not unhealthy" this flawed reasoning seems to be exactly what is described in answer choice E. Because illness is not associated with sleep deprivation then sleep deprivation must not have other negative consequences. What if sleep deprivation also gives you cancer, what if sleep deprivation also makes you fall asleep at the wheel. This flaw just seems considerably larger to me than any issue of not considering that there is a third factor at play as per answer choice A.

Any insight on this question would be greatly appreciated.

I was thinking about saving 3 (49, 77 and 78), but I am well within my scoring range and don't know if, because of that, I should use them. Just looking for some input. Thanks!
