    😖 Frustrated

    Low to High 170s

    Before the August test, I was scoring in the high 160s most of the time, with high scores of 172, 174, and 178. Miraculously, I got a 172 on the August test. This is including going to the restroom during a scored section, so I think I could have done better. I need a higher test score in October or November, but I am so tired. Any advice for making that jump? I want a 177.

    I know that Bellingham isn't a huge town, but I was wondering if there was anyone in the Bellingham or even Seattle area who wanted to study together? I also wouldn't mind doing a little Skyping, I just think I would really benefit from a study buddy! I am planning on taking the September test (and applying in the fall).

    If you're at all interested, please let me know :)

    I took my diagnostic test recently, my test score was pretty mediocre. I feel confident in my LR sections, this is my strength. I always enjoyed this section and I am pretty consistent in getting these right. However, I tanked in the LG and RC section. I ran out of time in RC and that's were most of my missed questions came from. In the LG section, I read them all, but could not make sense of how to diagram or where to start.

    I am aiming for the LSAT in October, but will probably take the Aug. test depending. I know I can score in my target range, but I really need to get the LG / RC sections up if I am to do so.

    My question is, should I skip to LG / RC sections in the 7sage curriculum and focus on building these skills up? Or continue to work through the curriculum in order as listed? Does the material build on and I will be missing the fundamentals to LG or would it be okay to skip around and target my weak areas?

    Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks!

  • I am thinking of starting a small (in-person) study group!!

    We will discuss further for details to how to run the study group but following is the general idea.

    Time: Twice a week for 5 weeks

    (Monday/Thursday or Tuesday/Friday) can be changed

    Location: A study cafe in Seoul (the cost will be shared equally)

    We will take "timed" practice tests 62-71 under simulated conditions (I find this to be the best practice)

    Blind review will be done individually at home

    Come back with additional questions and we will try to help ourselves by helping each other

    Most importantly, I would like all of us to be a positive influence

    providing good moral support as well as holding each other accountable throughout the treacherous LSAT journey

    If anyone is interested, leave me a comment or message me

    And I will organize the Kakao Group Chat :)

    I got this wrong initially by marking down A but the correct answer is E. This stimulus tells us a few things

  • people cannot be morally responsible for things they can't control
  • so people cannot be morally responsible for inevitable consequences of things they can't control either
  • It can be hard to tell whether adults can be held morally responsible for the treatment they receive because its hard to know if that is on their control or not.

    Sometimes people's actions are the inevitable consequences of the treatment they received when they were an infant (and since infants can't control anything they can't be morally responsible for receiving that treatment).

    What absolutely MUST be true here?

    A. an infant's actions are not on the chopping block here + never is really strong language

    B. maybe this is true but it feels really tangential

    C. this concept of partial responsibility does not exist anywhere in the stimulus we are operating in a binary universe

    D. we know that the statement (people cannot be morally responsible for things they can't control and the inevitable consequences of things they can't control) is true but this offers a false contraposition of that statement (suff - neck confusion)

    E. If everyone sometimes performs acts for which they are not morally responsible, that means that no-one should be held morally responsible for every act one performs.

    Admin Note: Edited title. For LR questions, please use the format: "PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of the question."

    Ok so pretty much X 50 ppl

    Y has 100 ppl

    X 1 person hospitalized

    Y has 4 ppl hospitalized

    So initially I thought this doesn't really seem like a paradox but wtv, lets just explain why Y has more hospital patients.

    A. Ok if preventive health programs are more common X than in Y that'll explain why Y has more people in hospitals.

    B. (I was between this and D just because I couldn't eliminate D) This actually explains the phenomena though. If city X is a leader in outpatient treatment whenever possible that explains why they have less hospitalizations they just send everyone home.

    C. Perfect the drinking water of Y has DANGEROUSLY high toxins compared to that of X so that could cause more people to be sick and end up in hospitals

    D*: (Read carefully) The hospitals in Y are of high quality and X ppl are sent there for treatment. Ok just because X people are sent there let's say to get the pain medication that wouldn't explain why Y has more hospital patients. They could just go get the medication and leave.

    E. Fair assumption to make that if stress is correlated with higher hospitalizations

    This might be a dumb question, but at least one with a quick answer! Do we get to use five sheets of scratch paper front and back for the August 2021 test administration? Might we be allowed more because it's four sections and not three?

    I am at the point of my prep where I just jumped into the 160s and I'm starting to see it's more difficult to get large increases with each PT. Should I go back and redo some of my older tests/sections/drills to make sure I truly understand any answer I previously got wrong?

    Hi everyone! I’m hoping to get some unbiased advice on what you guys think is the best option in my situation.

    Long story short I have been at this for a while. I have already tested two times (I cancelled my first score as a first time test taker) and was not impressed with my score. I relied heavily on LG and LR because I was terrible in RC. This is the mindset I had with the first two tests I took so it didn’t go well for me.

    After realizing I would need to test again, I started with a new tutor for RC about a month ago and it has helped a ton so far. She has a method that is different from any other method I have learned where it’s more of a strategical/step by step approach. It’s different from what people typically tutor in RC, but nonetheless, very helpful so far. The only issue i’m having is the method either isn’t very consistent (I notice some passages I go -4 or less… other passages -10 plus) or i’m not comfortable with it yet. My tutor says that this is a foolproof way to get up there in the highway percentile of test takers…but it takes a couple of months to perfect it. I don’t think i’m terrible, however, definitely not scoring consistently where I would need to be to not heavily rely on the other two sections (sometimes… other times i’m fine so it’s hard to say)

    I scheduled my test for June and it’s the last chance I have to go to law school in the fall so I really want to give it a shot but i’m worried about having so many tests on my record. What are the odds of me improving with this method in the last week? Should I take the test? If I do have to test again in August will having 4 tests look really bad for me? I’ve always heard admission only looks at the highest score but i’m worried having 4 will look awful for me.

    THANK YOU

    For those who have paper-and-pencil accommodations...do the exams come stapled or as separately unattached pages? Can someone please briefly describe the process of this format without violating security policies? I am simply trying to get a feel for what to expect on test day as well as recreating test conditions as accurately as possible while taking PTs. Thank you for any information shared.

    Hi everyone! I will be taking the October test as my second attempt, and while I know things are pretty set in stone at this point, I was wondering if there were any last minute quick strategies people had to share? My LR has been hovering around the -6/-8 range for tests in the 80s and I would love to get that down to -5!

    Febbers! We’re less than 2 months away! Come to Group BR tonight!

    Hello! I am looking for a study buddy that is committed to meeting at least two times per week. I am willing to study any section, but I would like to focus a good bit of time on Logic Games. I am taking the August LSAT. I can meet virtually. I can also meet in person under the right circumstances (i.e: public, covid friendly, and in the Philadelphia region). Please only respond if you can commit!

    Thank You

    Nadiyah!

    I've finished the core curriculum in its entirety, and now I'm wondering how I should be splitting up my time while drilling.

    I'm aiming to take the June LSAT (the last current exam format that's offered for International test takers for this year) and so I only have about 2 months left.

    I'm wondering how best to split my time amongst the different sections. While of course I want to dedicate the majority of time to my weakest areas, I also don't want to just completely bench the other sections.

    Any advice how to best schedule studying, so that I maintain a solid exposure to each section?

    Thanks!

    I am applying to law school this fall and I have one professor that I know can write me a letter of rec but I need to get another professor so I was planning on asking one of my professors that I will have this upcoming semester - has anyone here ever asked a current professor for a letter of rec even though the semester was not over yet? And if you did, how early in the semester did you ask? I would like to apply to law schools by the latest end of November.

    Are you sure?
