I am taking the Feb 2016 test and looking for friends to study with!! Let me know if your in the area.

Firstly, thank you thank you thank you 7Sage! I scored above my expectations and even beat my PT average which I was already happy with. This was my first time taking the LSAT so I busted my back with 7Sage every day for 8 months and it was worth it. So everyone dragging their feet through this preparation process, keep going and don't give up. You're with the best.

Secondly, does anyone know when LSAC officially releases scores? I've been getting emails from schools I've applied to saying they're still waiting on LSAC to release December scores before they can review, even though I got my score back last night.

Hi all,

I came across this game in a practice test (# unknown) recently. I am wondering how best to approach it. I am especially interested in understanding how to diagram this game. Thanks in advance!

Two friends, Rachel and Teresa, own a dog walking business. During a particular week, on Monday through Friday, they walk three dogs--a Newfoundland, and Otterhound, and a Poodle--in accordance with the following conditions:

-Each dog is walked exactly once by each friend and no dog is walked twice in one day.

-Rachel walks the Newfoundland at some time in the week before she walks the Poodle.

-Rachel walks the Poodle earlier in the week than Teresa does.

-Teresa walks the Otterhound earlier in the week than Rachel does.

-Rachel walks the Newfoundland on the day immediately before the day or the day immediately after the day on which Teresa walks the Newfoundland.

-Rachel walks no dogs on Wednesday.

Hi all! Can anyone who has completed an interview with CLS describe your interview experience? In terms of what questions were asked and how it generally goes. Thanks!

Rewords the conclusion

I'm currently in NYC (LES), just graduated, and determined to devote my entire summer to studying for the LSATs so I can take the upcoming September 2017 LSAT. I think it would be mutually helpful to BR with someone else!

I have a schedule set up to take every preptest between 36-80. I'm also in the September 2017 study group on Sundays at 7PM. I made my schedule to cater around that one. Please let me know if you're interested!

Can anyone please explain the pattern of reasoning that would make the answer C?

Hey guys, I need help with my addendum. I know it should be short, but this is the most concise I was able to make it. There were two situations I wanted to address in my addendum that explains my gpa. I also wanted to explain the discrepancy in my actual gpa vs my lsac gpa. What do you guys think?

Addendum:

During my four years of college, I went through two experiences that negatively affected my academic performance. However, I was able to bounce back from these events and demonstrate my true academic ability in my final semesters.

During my first year at CUNY Queens College, I was running a small online business, and my main focus was to grow my business. At that time I had no plans to continue my education after college and due to that, I put in minimum effort into my academics. After that year, I started to discover my passion for activism and a career in law. Since then, I have taken my studies seriously, which reflects in my improvement after my first year.

In the spring semester of my junior year, I went through a mental low. It was the first time I had an issue with my mental health. I was considering taking that semester off because of my mental state, but I pushed through and did my best. Unfortunately, I received a 2.5 GPA and a D in a class. I asked my professor to give me an F instead, so I can retake the class and I earned a B. My school dropped the F from my GPA, but LSAC counted it in. This is the reason for the discrepancy between my college GPA, 3.25, and my LSAC GPA, 3.17. The spring semester of my junior year is not indicative of the dedication and ability I have towards academics. Later, I got the professional help I needed to overcome this obstacle in my life. Since then, I have demonstrated with my grades and strong work record that I have addressed these issues. I am excited to demonstrate this growth further in law school.

I plan on taking the LSAT in April. I'm a very visual person. Does anyone have a good study guide/outline to follow?

Anyone live in southern Connecticut and would want to set up a study group for the December 2017 LSAT evenings and weekends??

Hi, I'm currently a 167-169ish scorer. My goal is T14, preferably East Coast schools with dreams of Penn/Columbia. Just hypothetically speaking, if I were to get a 167-169 in Nov and a 172 in January, what would you say is the better time to apply? Im thinking I could get that three point increase by January if I tried hard enough! I graduated from an international institute with a "Superior" (GPA of 3.78/4.3)

I took my LSAT at the University of Alaska Anchorage center in June of 2015. I went to the test center on a Sunday to try and find the classroom so that there wouldn't be any confusion. The actual place where the test was being administered was part of a shopping mall that was gated off on the weekends. Needless to say, it wasn't that difficult to find on Monday.

The testing center itself was not very conducive for such an important test (I ended up retaking and flying to another state to avoid this place). The proctors could barely read the instructions. They were not clear on their task direction and wouldn't clarify things upon test takers asking. The parking was not explained correctly and one test taker had to leave to move his car prior to starting the test, and they continued the pretest material with him being absent.

They were very rude with trying to make people enter the classroom prior to the advertised time to report. They told people that once checked into the classroom, they were not able to leave (which is true). A couple of people were waiting to make sure they didn't need to use the restroom. There was still 45 minutes until they had to be in the classroom. The "proctors" became extremely rude towards these people because they wouldn't just hurry up and get into the classroom.

Very disorganized place. I would recommend people avoid this test center location.

(P1) According to dinosaur fossils, dinosaurs had an oxygen isotope ratio in their bones that suggests that their CORES had roughly the same temperature as their LIMBS.

(P2) Today, cold-blooded animals have much warmer CORES than LIMBS.

(MC) Therefore, dinosaurs were probably warm-blooded.

Weaken

This argument assumes, among other things, that warm-blooded animals, unlike cold-blooded animals, do NOT have much warmer CORES than LIMBS, or some other temperature distribution that deviates even more from the dinosaurs'. To anticipate the right answer, I thus was expecting a weaking option targeting this assumption.

(A) Unlike cold-blooded animals, warm-blooded animals only have SLIGHTLY warmer CORES than LIMBS. This goes in the direction of my pre-phrase but is not very strong. Crucially, it remains more likely that dinosaurs were warm-blooded than that they were cold-blooded, just as the author claims. So this answer choice does not seem to actually weaken, even though it gets at the assumption that the author makes, and that I had identified as the weak point of their argument.

(B) Dinosaur fossils don't actually allow you to do the temperature inference described in (P1). This answer is very unusual in that it attacks a premise rather than the reasoning in the argument. Nevertheless, this answer choice definitely weakens, since it takes away the data about dinosaurs that the author presupposes. Keep this answer choice around but be vigilant; see if a less premise-focused answer choice is available.

(C) About oxygen generally. Does not seem to pertain to the argument.

(D) Body temperatures in small and large animals other than dinosaurs. Does not seem to connect directly to the argument; especially since the stimulus does not identify dinosaurs as either small or large.

(E) Warm-blooded animals are more active and use more oxygen than cold-blooded animals. This again does not seem to relate directly to the argument under consideration.

(C), (D), and (E) turn out to be largely unrelated to the argument in the stimulus, and (A) does not seem to weaken the inference made by the author. This leaves (B) as the only remaining answer choice, and thus (B) must be right.

Nevertheless, (B) feels very much uncomfortable and is unusual. (B) just straight up contradicts information that we get in the stimulus, rather than attacking the author's reasoning. It also seems unusual to have this sort of unexpected answer choice so early in the section; just expecting straightforward questions in (Q1)-(Q10) is too naive.

I originally chose (A) because I got too focused on my anticipation of how the right answer could look like, and thus I neglected (B). Nevertheless, a more careful examination of what (A) and (B) are actually saying would have allowed me to get this question right. I need to stay alert to the details of individual answers and compare them against each other; a more thorough examination between (A) and (B) would have allowed me to see that (A) does not in fact weaken and that (B)'s unusual character does not prevent it from being the right answer here. Read answer choices carefully, compare them against each other, and choose the one that has the fewest problems.

I see sections such as "kick it up" and "math" under the drill builder. Possibly a bug but curious to know if this means something for the future.

Taking the flex in 2 weeks, and LR is crushing me. I do sections and get around a -8, then in BR I check my flagged questions and usually end up at a -5 (my goal). Whenever I look over the questions I think "of course the answer isn't this" and end up picking the correct answer. I guess my issue is the time and pressure, but how do I overcome this? Any tips would be appreciated!

Can someone explain how C is incorrect? I can’t seem to wrap my head around how differently answer choice B and C affects the argument. Thank you!

What is the deal with these? When we are done with them is it any sort of copyright to give them away?

Hi everyone I thought it would be cool to see if anyone on here is planning on attending MH this fall!

Hello,

I am writing the November LSAT and I am genuinely so confused and over whelmed with how to get started. How often do I need to do a practice test how do I work through all the material? They removed logic games, how do I tackle the other sections?

Random post echoing other's thoughts about these last few dates of waiting for scores. I never thought I would say this but I don't know what I would be doing if it weren't for exams. I just realized that if I wasn't being forced to study pretty much all the time for these midterms, I don't think I could stand this last stretch of waiting. Sure, comparative political economy may sound boring at first glance, but it's a heck of a lot better than nervously fretting over something I can't change.

Anyways, back to studying I go (Thursday come faster).

Hello, I am looking to start a study group for the LSAT. I plan on taking the test in the fall and would like other people to study with. If interested please leave a comment.

Hi all- I seem to be getting more questions wrong in my first section than the following sections regardless of being LR or RC. I noticed a consistent 5 question difference. Is anyone else having a similar issue? Any ideas on how to improve this issue

Greetings everyone,

I just wanted to see what you guys thought f the passage I mentioned in the title. I had a very hard time understanding it. Some feedback would be great.
