Hi everyone,

I'm currently reviewing PT 37 that I completed yesterday and I'm on section 2 #12. Even watching JY's video, I'm still a little confused about the "cannot" and "without" in the stimulus. Anyway, I was just wondering-- what do you do when you have two indicators but they're in different groups? Or the way that JY presents it, maybe we're disregarding the "without" for being in group 3? And we're just treating it as a "no"?

I mean, either way, for the two indicators in one sentence issue--I feel like there was a lesson on this or that it was mentioned somewhere, but I can't seem to find it. If anyone could let met know or let me know what lesson it was in, that'd be great. And if you can further explain #12 I'd really appreciate it too! Thank you! :) Happy studying!

Hi everyone. I finished the CC and wrote a brand new diagnostic. My first diagnostic score was at a 148, and 155 Blind Review in the beginning of the curriculum. The new diagnostic I just wrote had a 153 and a 165 blind review. I wrote both exams using the "simulate modern LSAT" option.

Should I not click "simulate modern" and write the extra LR section? I decided to not do so because I was thinking that I could use the extra questions for drilling and didn't want to waste them.

Moving forwards, should I focus on drilling sections of the exam that I am the weakest on, including the question types that I suck at BEFORE deciding to write more PT's? Or should I weave some sessions for drilling inbetween days where I PT?

My analytics are: -11 RC, -9 LR, -6 LG

Thank you!

The most difficult for me is the Logical Reasoning and I was wondering if anyone had a perfected study guide for me use. I would really appreciate it! Im taking the LSAT in February and am in dying need of help on this one section as of now!

Hey guys,

I have a quick question for those who have ordered prep tests from Lsac.org. If I order a prep test from Lsac.org, is the test mailed to me or is there an option where I can download it unto my computer and print it out?

I saw a question on 90.1.16 that states "Which one of the following is a central purpose according to both passages?"

One answer choice reads "To trace the historical development of an important idea"

Could anyone point me to a specific passage for which this answer is applicable?

Thanks!

I picked the right answer. But I wanna extract as much as possible from this question.

I noticed a nuance in the question stem "an element of". But how this is different from the ordinary question stem which simply ask what the author's attitude is best expressed?

I feel the correct answer would still be credit nicely even tho the question stem has no "an element of". But, given the sneakiness of the test maker, I believe there is something I missed.

Any insights? Thanks for your time.

Are they better to send sooner or later? I plan on applying for fall 2021, and I am about half way thru my graduate program. I have a 3.94 GPA. I know graduate transcripts aren't really weighed much but would rather have them see this number than a lower one.

Suggestions??

I simply had no clue for this one. And the correct AC seems to be making a huge assumption so I didn't choose it. Can we really reasonably infer that thieves who do not abandon cars before their owners notice that they have been stolen are more likely to get arrested and convicted? This just seem to be way too big of a gap, and frankly an unreasonable one, to be made.

Why do car thieves steal cars? To sell them or to keep them. So it's totally reasonable to assume that thieves DO NOT abandon the car right after stealing it. And I simply don't see how this makes them more likely to get caught as they could have driven really fast and got far away before the cops could do something.

Has anyone else had trouble with this question? What do you think?

Hello everyone! I just scheduled my November 2023 test date through Prometric and had a few little struggles, so I thought I'd share them and hopefully it will help you when signing up for test date.

I signed into my LSAC account about 10 minutes early and immediately clicked on scheduling. Do not wait right until the "allotted" scheduling time opens!!! I was early and still 260 in the queue. When I got through and imputed my desired date to see the available time, I selected one and hit "reserve time slot," but no confirmation text was sent. I found out that there were about 1.5k people in the queue, so it made sense that things were slow, but I started to panic. I decided to just call the Prometric help desk phone number and after a long wait of 20 minutes I was able to talk to someone. They confirmed that it does not look like my selected time was reserved and they helped me schedule my test. They were pretty helpful and quick.

So, basically enter the queue early and when in doubt, call Prometric!

Hi everyone,

I'll be taking the LSAT on Sunday 5th October at Macquarie University in Sydney. I've had a flick through some other forums, but thought I'd ask here: do any of you have any experience taking the LSAT abroad in general/at Macquarie Uni specifically?

I've read a couple of things about invigilators outside of the US having made mistakes because they're not so familiar with the test, so that concerns me a little.

Any insights would be GREATLY appreciated. Thanks guys :)

So I didn't know this until today (thanks for sending the YT link JY!), but YouTube lets you Rewind Pause Forward with the JKL buttons on your keyboard:

I instantly loved it. So easy to learn and makes controlling videos so much more instinctual. I had to have this in our video player, so I added it :) You may need to do a force refresh if the new shortcuts aren't showing up for you.

So now we have (new in bold):

K or Space = Play / Pause

J = Rewind 10 seconds

L = Forward 10 seconds

, or < = Speed down

. or > = Speed down

F = Full Screen

M = Mute

↓ = Volume Down

↑ = Volume Up

This cheatsheet is available in the player by hovering the icon on the left side of the player, above the playback speed options.

With the exception of the last two (volume up and volume down), these shortcuts are the same as YouTube, so you can use your 7Sage wizardry to master YouTube too.

How different is the Experimental Section compared to what we are used to? I'm concerned that I'm going to get thrown off and frustrated if one of the sections throws me for the loop (i.e. an Experimental Section).

Any insight into this section?

thanks.

Hello fellow 7Sagers,

I would like your opinion. I will be starting the PT stage for December and of course will be extensively reviewing those. I won't have time, clearly, for PTs 35-70+. I plan on doing something like ~45 or ~55 - 70+. Luckily, I am pretty naturally inclined to perform decent on RC. Of course my timing could use help, but I'm fairly accurate. During the PT stage, I'll mix in some practice of logic games, doing games several times over in my spare time in order to stay fresh. My only concern, though, is not getting my eyes on enough LR questions that will allow me to master the section. I will be able to see where I'm at after a few PTs on the LR sections, but I'd like to be able to get my eyes on as many of them as I can. I don't have the money to buy all of the packets for LR. Would it suit me best to see where I'm at after a few PTs and then maybe target my problem questions with packets? OR, do you believe that just doing PTs and reviewing extensively will be enough for me to get down LR? Thanks in advance for the help and helping to create such a great community to turn to!

Having a question about context and details!

While reading third paragraph of this last paragraph, the part "glorification"~ made me make a narrative that nationalists may have exaggerated achievements and there could be questions regarding this point.

Looking into Q22 (C)

Most historians- should be specifically "US" historians

Make the histories of the nations about which they wrote seem more glorious than they actually were

I thought it's correct as glorification could be interpreted as exaggeration. Thus, making it more glorious than they actually were.

Does "glorify" exclude the meaning of exaggeration?

As a non-native speaker, some words are confusing...

Any tips for improving context interpretation is also welcomed:)
