P.S. I'm interested in swapping. PM me your statements!

I improved 18 or 19 points from my first cold PT, primarily because of your services. Already saved me around $300 in application fees. Took the test twice and baaaaarely improved the second time but its enough to put me in the 75% for my dream school. Couldn't have done this without you!

Correct me if I am wrong in my explanation. I am not sure about my explanations for "B" and "D"

*The kind of question this is:* Weaken

*CTX:* Post office must be replaced with a larger one.

*Premise(s):*

• The present one cannot be replaced.

• Land near the present (center of town) location is more expensive.

• Cost of acquiring a site is a significant part of the total construction cost.

*Conclusion:* Post office can be built more cheaply on the outskirts of town.

*What I am looking for:* A reason, that outweighs the burden of cost, in favour of the office to being built near the present (center of town) location, rather than on the outskirts.

*Answer A:* No. That is just information. Irrelevant. The building code is not a stated obstacle.

*Answer B:* Yes. The office on the outskirts will need a parking lot that is more expensive than not having one.

*Answer C:* No. That’s an issue that the new post office would not need to worry about. It is not mentioned how this would be a problem.

*Answer D:* No. So what if they have to deliver mail to home. The mail will still arrive to the costumers. The post office on the outskirts will still be in business.

*Answer E:* No. That’s not a problem. That’s just the process that will be taken to build the office in the center of town.

Idk why I'm laughing but w.e. is it cuz I had only taken 15 pts that I didn't score close to my max??

Can someone clarify the strategy used to solve weaken questions. I understand not "attacking" the premise but to indeed attack the support however, isn't the premise the support the conclusion receives?

Perfect LG section on Oct test (finally -- 3 tries!). Wouldn't have been possible without JY's awesome videos!

I have not gotten mine yet.

This is slow torture.

I feel bad for my family members who have had to listen to me for the past hour and a half.

How bad do admissions look for febuary takers?

Hey guys! I apologize if there is a similar thread to this.

I just received my Oct. score and did worse than my first diagnostic test. I really want to commit to a schedule and focus on improving my score drastically (+15 points) by the February test. Do you have any recommendations?

Thank you so much!

Diag: 148 in july. Pting max at 161 (with 5 sections, timed). Score 1...5...2.. 152

It'd be nice to buy and study it asap

Did you guys all get your scores?

When do you guys think results will be released?

Thanks guys for everything! It's finally over. I just barely missed my goal score but shooting for that stars got me in the clouds. I am satisfied. I couldn't have done it without 7sage.

Imagine on the 23rd...that would be nice

Correct me if I am wrong in my explanation.

*The kind of question this is:* Weaken

*CTX:* Local agricultural official gave fruit growers of District 10 a new pesticide that they applied for three years to their pear orchards in place of the pesticides they had used before.

*Premise(s):* during the three years, the proportion of pears lost to insects was significantly less than it had been during the previous three years period.

*Conclusion:* based on the results, the official concluded that the new pesticide was more effective than the old pesticide, at least in the short term. In limiting the loss of certain fruit to insects.

*What I am looking for:* Just looking for answer choices that weaken the argument. Maybe an alternative explanation as to why the pears lost to insects were significantly less than it had been during the previous three years period.

*Answer A:* Yes, this is the right answer. This is irrelevant and does not weaken the argument. There were less fruit being produced because the number of mature trees has declined of the past 8 years. Who cares. The argument is talking about the “proportion of pears lost to insects.” So, it doesn’t matter how many pears we started with, it’s how many of those that were lost to insects with the new pesticide.

*Answer B:* Not the right answer. This weakens the argument. Insect abatement programs were used in the last 5 years, and were successful. That explains why the pears lost to insects were significantly less than it had been during the previous three years period.

*Answer C:* Not the right answer. Over the past 5 years, the birds that prey on the insects that feed on the pears have spent more time in the district 10 region. Weakens.

*Answer D:* Not the right answer. Insects in district 10 that infest pear trees are water breeders, and access to water for them is shrinking. This means the insects did not get to the pear trees. Weakens.

*Answer E:* Not the right answer. It is saying the old pesticide is still in effect after it has stopped being used, so it may not be the new pesticide that is credited with eliminating many pear eating insects. Weakens.

Today :)

So just to give some background I started studying for the October LSAT end of June and was PT-ing around the early160's by the time I wrote the exam.

The thing is that I didn't do all the PT's from 30-75 as usually recommended since I was on a time crunch, so I skipped 51-61. But did the 30's, 40's, 60's and 70's.

Now I am studying for December and writing all the PT's that I missed. The bizarre thing is that in the 50's series so far I've been getting mid 150's! Should I be too concerned? Why has my score dropped so much for the older LSATS?

Thanks in advance!

Hi

I just wanted to know, how many practice tests I should be taking on daily basis. I am writing LSAT on december 5th and just finished with the lessons and wanted to start taking full timed tests.

Thank You

Currently.

Hey guys! So this is my first time waiting for my score and I was wondering what the grey arrow is. I can't seem to find it under LSAT Status and am DYING to know when my score will come out.

Thanks! Good luck to everyone!

Can anyone explain the incorrect answer choice "B" because I'm having trouble getting through the convoluted way it's written?

Basically, I've taken 8 PTs and as of recent I'm scoring 157-159, while taking about 2 a week. Originally, I was scoring 156 more or less. -7/8 on LR, -5 on LG, -8 RC averages around. I feel that I never drilled much before starting my PT phases. I only did about a 1/6 of the logic game bundles and never drilled RC too much. Should I break from PT'ing and focus on doing the Logic Game bundles and RC sections before I start PT'ing? I feel like since my score isnt in the 160s after 8 PTs that maybe it's a bit premature and if I drilled RC/LG for a few weeks, it would help me jump into the 160s. Thanks.!

Does anyone have a specific strategy for these? They seem to be cropping up more often, and I usually do it by gut instinct, which is fine with easy ones but hasn't worked as well for harder questions. I think this trips me up because I'm not sure what the LSAC wants here. I heard one explanation that you need to take all given premises from the stimulus and choose a conclusion that uses them all in some way... but should that the be goal if using all the given premises would make you construct a bad/illogical argument? I don't know if they want a solid, less flawed argument, or something that looks more like a typical question stem with issues, but that links all the ideas in a flawed support structure.

Help?

South Bay area people where do you take the test?

SCU used be excellent but lsac removed it as a test center this year.

Jfku Pleasant Hill had complaints related to overcrowding, exteme close seating this year.

Looking to register for december.
