hi all!

first off congrats on all those who sat for the Nov test and completed it in one piece! I feel somewhat accomplished in doing that alone, it being my first official administration. But I am also trying to be somewhat realistic with myself, knowing that I am almost 100% sure that I want to sit for the Jan test and take a shot at getting a higher score!

I had been studying since June before taking the Nov test, so obviously completed all 7sage CC and taken PTs 40-50, so now what?

trying to take into consideration my known weaknesses that I feel in myself, and use those to try and construct a new study plan, I wanted to reach out and see if anyone else in the same/similar situation as myself, have any advice. mainly what you have done in the past or what you will be doing until the Jan test? I'm thinking of more timed sections instead of full PTs to start out & focus more on getting a few extra points from RC (since personally I did not spend much time at all learning RC strategies to begin with), along with getting a constant LR section that I am confident with. what about you?

thanks so much in advance for taking the time to help a girl out :)

ive been studying lsat for a year already (approximately 1-2 hrs a day). My initial pt score is 153, and after 3-4 months I got around 160. However the score just doesn't go up anymore. I about to take the test on dec. 6th so I have literally 2 months left. My target in dec is 165+. Is that reasonable?

I just purchased this course 5 days ago and I found this course really useful but, I've already wasted all the pts (40-75). So I don't know how to follow the schedule of this course in a smarter way in this case.

I quit my job few days ago so now I have 8 hrs ago (!!!)

Anybody who got similar experience or anybody who has any idea about what should I do now?

Just took PT 84 - wondering if anyone found the LR kind of weird? Not hard per se, but for example PT 84 S2 Q2 (an NA) was more of a soft NA answer? They are usually a lot more clear. Idk maybe I’m just being picky but I found there were a couple questions where the answers were a lot more subtle to me.


Anyways, onto PT 84 S2 Q11

I knew AC was right but crossed it off because I thought it attacked a premise. Looking back it appears I misread the stimulus.

The premise says: “Many features ..." Admin Note: I deleted the premise and Answer Choice C as it is against our Forum Rules to post LSAT questions on the Forum.

And AC C says: "Excessive blinking ..."


I thought that the stimulus read “excessive blinking is not such a feature of confidence” (rather than saying "blink rate is not a feature")

My question is, if it had said what I thought it said, would AC C have been an attack on the premise like I thought it was?

Hello,

I did not choose A (the correct answer) in this question because I thought "specific examples" was incorrect given the fact that the passage did not raise any plural nouns and actually seemed quite general to describe their examples. Can someone explain why the examples raised in the passage count as "specific examples"?

Thanks!

I just finished the core curriculum and took my first practice test. 163 but aiming for 170+. Struggled with LR (-9). Now I plan to go through the rest of the practice tests (37-present).

I'm curious what sort of gains other people have made since their first post-cc practice test.

Thank you very much in advance!

Hey Feb Peeps! I know the test is this week, but we got work to do!

I’ll be there for PT 58, after I stop by at the Pep Rally!

Be sure to click the link of the conversation you’re attending and announce in the comments which group(s) you’re planning on attending.

Note:

  • For the newbies: Add me on Skype, using handle dmlevine76, click the link of the conversation you’re attending and PM your email for Google Hangout.
  • For the regulars: If for some reason you're not in the group conversation[s] already, just message me on Skype.
  • For everyone: take the PT under timed conditions; BR as you are able; join us for all or part of the call—everyone is welcome.
  • Note: For the purposes of the call, we like to check our group blind review score together at the very end of the call :) So at least don't say ... "No guys, really, it's D, I checked it.” In other words, if you know the answer, keep it to yourself. Use your reasoning to win the argument.
  • These groups work best when folks from ALL stages of prep and with all different goals join in! Not just for "super-preppers" and definitely not just for the casual LSATer (does such a person exist?).
  • The only expectation anyone has for these calls is for you to have fun and ask questions as you desire. We are just a bunch of LSAT lovers who gather via Skype and intellectually slaughter each test.

    Hey ya'll

    Im planing to take Feb LSAT, the first time I took LSAT I got 127 in June 2020, and now my highest PT LSAT score is150. It been a while that even though I study a lot with BR Im not improving, My GPA 3.80 ( from UCI) is more than the 75 percentile for the school that I love to attend (chapman law) but my LSAT is bellow 25(154) percentile. I was wondering what do you think my chances are to get Into chapman at all or get in with scholarship?

    I am looking for an accountability partner from now until the April LSAT. I want someone who is planning to apply early for Fall 2022, has been studying for the test for a while, is aiming for a T10 law school, wants a 170+, and wants to get this thing over with by the middle of this year. I prefer someone who is weaker on LG (no specific limit here) but stronger on LR and RC (-2 to 4 range) so we can complement each other. I am breaking even on all sections but while I can mostly figure out my errors for LG by myself, I often can't do so with LR and RC. My highest PT was a 168 and I am looking to break into the 170s. If you are interested, please PM me, not comment. We can meet once a week through zoom or maybe even more depending on how things go and I honestly just want another human by my side through all this because this test material is very dry to say the least

    Hi everyone! Like many people recommend, I have been saving the most recent PT's for my study sessions closer to the real LSAT exam. I understand that the newer practice tests shouldn't be (or, subjectively they shouldn't be) more difficult, but I am noticing that I am really struggling with them! So far I have taken a few in the 70's and a few in the 80's. My scores have been significantly lower. Has anyone noticed that they are having issues as well? I know there truly are very subtle differences, but I'm just not too sure how to adjust my studying accordingly. Does anyone have any advice for how to approach these newer tests?

    Hey guys,

    I am wondering if CPA PEP (Canada) is considered a mandatory institution for LSAC transcript requirements. Its a professional designation for an accounting license which requires module work to be done.

    I e-mailed LSAC about it but shocker, no reply for ages.

    Hi All. I have two questions:

    (1) Roughly when did the important distinguishing features of newer logical reasoning questions become the norm? I'm thinking in particular about longer and tougher stems, more frequent strengthen/weaken/RRE questions, less frequent formal logic questions, and generally trickier answer choices?

    (2) In these newer LR sections, are the toughest questions typically found between questions #11 and 20? Or are 21-26 generally harder? Or has it gotten more random?

    I've been largely following the "save the best for last" approach in my studying thus far, and so have only recently moved from tests #20-45 or so to more recent tests. Recently, I've begun alternating between tests near #80 and closer to the 50s, and plan to keep doing so. Today, though, I took my first test in the 50s (#55) after taking a couple near #80, and the LR sections felt much closer to the old style I'd been used to than the new style I'd seen in #78 and #80---in particular I noticed more formal logic, and that the hardest questions were located near the end rather than the late-middle. So I'm wondering what to expect. Roughly when did the shift that happened between early and late tests occur, and how accurate is my sense (partially based on some article I now can't find) that the newer sections have harder questions towards the late-middle?

    Hey,

    Before confirming for CAS, Step 1 is to "Enter Institutions Attended," and one of the fields requires you to enter in your email address. When I start applying for schools, would that email address be shown to them?

    I am going to have a more professional email (IE: First and Last name) address on my resume, but the one that I have under CAS is my gmail one. (It is nothing embarrassing, like the one that Gronk (Patriots' TE) used to have, which is chickslayer69@yahoo.com)

    Thanks!

    Hey 7Sagers! I'm doing some research on schools at the moment and would love to connect with any current Cornell Law students or alums who could give me some thoughts on their experiences there, both academically and personally.

    For some context, I don't know exactly what field of law I'd like to practice, but I'm interested in immigration law and international law, potentially labor law. I'm definitely intrigued by the alternative dispute resolution program Cornell has as well.

    If anyone on here is a Cornell student or has a friend there who would be willing to connect via email, that would amazing! Thanks in advance.

    To prepare for study abroad, exactly five students- M, N, P, R, and T- will learn at least one of four languages: French, Hindi, Italian, and Spanish. No student learns any other language. The following conditions apply:

    No student learns all four languages.

    At least two of the students learn French.

    Any language that is learned by R is not learned by N.

    If French is learned by any student, then that student learns Italian.

    If Hindi is learned by any student, then that student learns Spanish.

    P learns French.

    5.) Which one of the following is a pair of languages that CANNOT both be learned by student R?

    a. French and Italian

    b. French and Spanish

    c. Hindi and Italian

    d. Italian and Spanish

    e. Hindi and Spanish

    Book says D. I say B and C are also possible. The only way those answers don't work is if R no longer has to learn the accompanying language with N still does. It DOES say pair which may mean the rules for him can be broken. If true, this is a thinly veiled modifier that I would probably have gotten wrong, possibly i just have to familiarize myself with this test more.

    Looking to retake in November. Consistently scoring around a 160, hoping to get 165-170 by November. Would love anyone to share in the misery and talk over solutions and try to flesh out questions together. DM me if you're interested! I'm in Mississippi so may have to go for Skype!

    Hi,

    I understand why B here is right, but I have trouble understanding why D is completely wrong. After all, couldn't "some" footprints include the footprints that Dr. Tyson is looking at, and couldn't missing a feature of the original footprint lead to a huge change in how the footprint is interpreted?

    Any #help would be appreciated!

    Thanks!

    Sitting for the October exam this weekend but will be retaking in December. Looking for a few people to study and blind review together in person or via Skype. A little about where I'm at, drilled all LR and LG from1-38. Took PT 39-45 and 55-60 averaging around 167-172.
