Hey all,

I will be taking the JUNE 2017 LSAT and I have just recently began studying . I live in Yonkers, NY but work in the city on the upper west side. I would prefer coffee shops anything after 3pm but am flexible for earlier. I would prefer someone at my level. I took a PT and my diagnostic was 149 :(. I Also drive so I don't mind traveling if you're in westchester or even NJ. I am using the trainer, bibles + manhattan books too.

Received a 164 in July, my average for PT is a 165. Is it worth waiting for October to take again, or should I try applying in September for a reach, like Georgetown? I have heard conflicting advice so I am interested to see what all of you smart people have to say. I know it’s towards the 25th percentile of 163, but I’m hoping that my GPA from a top 30 undergrad university will help me get over that.

For those who have done them, do you remember if you were able to do your unlimited practice interviews and come back to do the actual recorded interview later on (a few days later), or if you are only able to conduct the practice interviews immediately before you begin the actual interview?

Thanks!

Hey friends, I've been working through the CC since June and between work and illness, it's taken me much longer to complete than I'd planned. I've registered for the Nov 25th LSAT and I now have six weeks or so to PT and about 22 hours left in the CC.

I could change my test date to January; however, while the schools I'm applying to accept it, it would be very late in the cycle. I've also contracted out for much of December because I'd planned to be done by the end of November, so I doubt I'd have much time to study then anyway.

For context, my diagnostic from 2 years ago was a 146 (BR 156) with my lowest scores in RC. I've seen quite a bit of improvement overall from the problems sets in the CC, but I won't have an accurate estimate of my current average score until I PT.

Any tips on how to maximize the time I have left?

We're looking for the NA.

P1: When a driver is talking on her cell, the person on the other end of the call can't see if her driving conditions become difficult.

P2: If the driver is instead talking to a passenger, the passenger is usually quiet or can help by warning about any difficulties.

Therefore, talking on a cell while driving is more dangerous than talking to a passenger.

What absolutely HAS to be true?

E ) Talking on a cell is no more dangerous than talking to a passenger who continues to talk during difficult driving situations. This is certainly not our NA since our conclusion is about talking on a cell being MORE dangerous, especially because the continuing to talk could be the passenger providing helpful warnings.

D ) If a passenger's helpful warnings are just as likely to distract the driver, this actually weakens our argument.

C ) Don't give a hoot what the drivers believe.

B ) Of course driving is less dangerous if the driver isn't talking to anyone, but that's not what we're comparing.

A ) For this argument to hold up, we have to assume that speaking to a driver during a difficult driving situation increases the danger (ie, risk of accident), the one exception being (unless) the person she's speaking to is providing helpful warnings. Bingo. I overlooked this AC at first because it's asking us to infer that since the person on the other end of the call can't see the difficult driving situation, they are going to keep talking. But I guess that's a small enough and fair enough inference.

Hey guys,

just a quick poll, are we supposed to do the "drilling materials" section as a whole PT or as the title indicates just use them for specific types of problems. I'm a bit confused cause the curriculum lists them as whole tests and puts them before the modern tests. Just wondering if I should skip them in favour of the more modern tests. Opinions welcome and thanks.

First impression wise, not a bad argument, but we're looking for an AC that shows that despite the fact that broadsides had statements about morals, it doesn't mean that most 17th century people were serious about moral values.

Maybe people back then bought broadsides for other reasons unrelated to those moralizing statements. This is the loophole in our argument.

B - gives us another reason why people bought broadsides: they were drawn to the sensationalized account of crime and adultery rather than to the morals.

B shows that broadsides were also entertaining in nature, not just moralizing.

A - regardless of whether broadsides are of low or high literary quality, they were still moralizing in nature, and people still bought them, but we're still left wondering whether people bought broadsides because they cared about morals or something else.

C - gives us an irrelevant mini history lesson.

D - premise booster. Tells us what we know already, namely that broadsides were moralizing in nature, so it makes sense for the clergy to use the broadsides for moralistic purposes. But we're still left wondering whether the people actually cared about moral values or not.

E - it doesn't matter what well-educated people think or feel about broadsides but how they think about moral values. Also tells us nothing about what the remaining non-well-educated people think about morals, which means we most likely can't justify the "most" statement in the conclusion.

Proctors: Two at the front of the room.

Facilities: In the basement of the University Community Center. There's around 5-6 rooms in total, all full.

What kind of room: in basement, but bright and spacious. Air conditioning can be a bit cool so layer up.

How many in the room: around 20

Desks: around 15

Left-handed accommodation: not sure

Noise levels: Low in the room. But also depends on the people taking the test with you.

Parking: Paid parking available in the back of the community center.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: 30 min. Test administered on time.

Irregularities or mishaps: None, except for proctor whispering to coordinate test procedure. Also, proctor was unfamiliar with procedure (she thought we couldn't go back to a prior page in the same section) so future test takers, please be familiar with the procedure.

Other comments: Lots of people (70+), so can be crowded during registration. If you're a student from uwo, very likely to bump into people you know, if you care about that.

Would you take the test here again? Yes.

Date[s] of Exam[s]: December 2015

I got 168 from January and some drops on points from July flex.

I am not really sure if I should apply with this status, or if I should give it one more shot.

I am an international, is there a good chance for an international to get into T14 with 168 and AA?

Hi guys,

I am currently prepping for 2021 April LSAT and it has been so hard since I work full-time in advisory. I have finished all the LSAT prep courses and are doing prep tests now. Looking for someone to meet once a week via zoom/in-person ( I am currently in California and will be back to nyc in December) to go over prep tests and keep each other accountable.

Thanks!

Best,

Sherry

Hello,

I noticed that I am having trouble diagramming questions whenever I see the words "some" and "most" appear. In some cases, those words are used to indicate a some or most conditional relationship, but in other cases they are not. I noticed that sometimes I am diagramming some or most relationships where none exist, which is making questions take longer and making them more difficult for me than they really are with my skill/knowledge level. For example, I diagrammed question 22 from section 4 from pretest 70 (not sure if I can copy/paste question on discussion forum) as having some and most relationships when they didn't. When I watched JY's explanation, I realized that that problem should've been so easy, but I diagrammed it wrong. Does anyone have any advice about how to know when a some/most relationship triggers and when it doesn't? Thank you!

Hi,

I know for some people this question may have been easy, but I was really stumped between B and E because of the last sentence in the stimulus. I saw the last sentence as saying that the trait that determined why the trees had different lifespans was attributed to the trees rather than the species. As a result, I chose B.

I am kind of starting to see why E is right instead of B, but I am still kinda stuck on what exactly I did wrong in interpreting the stimulus. Can anyone explain to me their reasoning about what the last sentence actually meant and why E is right?

thanks!

Best regards

Looking for around 3 people to join the group. Any more tends to result in a clusterf...

Will be on discord.

This is for people taking October , only.

7sagers that have done the CC preferred.

The point of this group is to go over LR sections, aprox. 3 times a week. During the morning, and afternoons depending on schedule.

Full time LSAT study members preferred with open schedules.

Avg PT score of 160+ preferred.

Repeat flex testers preferred.

Headset with MIC required for discord to go over LR sections. (Webcam not required.)

Anything above PT 65 would be ideal, so this is mainly for people looking to do the mid 60s , 70s, 80s.

Send me a DM if you are interested. I know this seems strict, but just trying to get the right people.
