I’m trying to print the practice exam version Aug 2024 and it cuts off the top. Hence the pre Aug doesn’t do this. Please help.

Can someone please explain question 13. It's frustrating there is no explanation available. :(

Admin Note: Edited title. For RC questions, please use the format: "PT#.S#.Q# (P#) - brief description of stimulus."

Does anyone have a good estimate on this? I am trying to budget my line.

I am the type of person that really gets into details when doing questions.

Also, can you please tell me when I should do the drills? should I wait until entire LR section is completed or should I start drills when I start that section?

I've got a pretty low GPA primarily due to an illness and subsequent death in the family where i had to step up and be the primary caretaker. Couldn't drop out but found some success working at an IB after graduation. Wondering if i have a shot at getting into Northwestern, that's basically the dream school for me.

Hi everyone, my name is Tony Conigliaro and I am a senior at Boston University. I am planning to take the LSAT in August, and was wondering if anyone else on here is from Boston and would like to study together?

Hello Everyone! I am 21 years old, but I file independently because I take care of 100% of my living. I am not married and don't have any kids. I'm not sure why LSAC automatically marks me as a dependent and requires my parents' tax information to receive the fee waiver. Does anyone know a way to bypass this? I'm guessing it is because of my age but it doesn't make sense that it automatically thinks everyone receives help from their parents. Thanks in advance!

Hello everyone,

The Lsac website does not state whether or not tests in the 2024-2025 test year will be available in the remote format. Does anyone know if we will be able to take them at our home?

Thanks!

I reside in Huntsville, Alabama and I have my test set for June 2024.

Would anyone like to meet and study together?

This is my first attempt at taking the LSAT.

Hey everyone,

The chaining conditionals portion of the 7sage V2 curriculum (lessons 26 and 27 of Conditional and Set Logic) is quite complicated with little to no explanation on the skill builder. Has anyone used any other resources to help learn this portion of the curriculum? It seems very important, but with no videos or expanded explanations I am having a hard time with it.

I looked into using V1 in order to get more help, but that focuses a lot on LG and I plan to take the LSAT this fall (no LG). I suppose I could come back to this section, but it seems pretty important, so does anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed if 7sage does not have further instruction on chaining conditionals?

Thanks,

Could anyone please tell me if/when they are going to announce the August 2024 testing dates for International test-takers? I go to university in the US so I need to know so I can coordinate my flight plans if needed.

When sentences start with "Even if" or "Even when" or "Even though", I've had a bit of trouble parsing out why LSAT writers put the word "even" there in the first place.

I've come to the conclusion the word "even" is irrelevant when evaluating logical arguments. We don't need to look at it when we are parsing out sentences, because there is usually already a phrase that encompasses the logical meaning of what comes after "even". The word "even" indicates an additional premise that the author may be using as a concession to an argument, but nonetheless is irrelevant when it comes to understanding the basic logical structure.

For example, a very simplified version:

All animals are cute, even if they are brown.

Dogs are animals.

Therefore, dogs are cute.

Here, in this example, and in all the examples of the word "even" I have so far encountered, the even is essentially doing nothing for us from a logical standpoint. The phrase "all animals are cute" already encompasses brown animals, because we are talking about every single animal in the world, so we must be also talking about brown animals.

We do not even need the point that brown ones are cute. So it's doing nothing here but distracting us.

I've found that that is the case for all sentences and phrases that start with "even if".

NOTE: For RC, it may be a little different. Although for logical purposes it may be irrelevant, "even if" in RC could emphasize the author's tone and how he feels, which is much more relevant for RC than LR.

This analysis is from my personal experience going through LR problems. If anyone can find a use of the word "even" that is relevant in logical reasoning, please share.

thx

Does anyone know how likely it is to get a experimental section as your first section of the LSAT? I am worried when I take it that I will be hit with an experimental section at the beginning, and this will knock off the rest of my test.

Greetings, 7Sagers!

I don't see one for April, June, or August. Thanks :)

Can someone please explain these correct answers? I am having issues :(

Hi! I plan to take the LSAT in August and would like to study with anyone who lives in Denver area. I work full-time so open to studying on the weekends. :)

I plan on taking the June test and my numbers for LR/LG are almost right where I want them to be. However, I am struggling to see results in RC. Does anyone have any tips that helped them have a breakthrough or see more progress in RC?

Hi everyone! I was hoping to get some tips on what to expect for taking the exam remote. I am taking the April next week and want to make sure I don't run into any issues during my exam, so I would appreciate any advice on things to do before the exam in terms of setup. Thanks!

Hi - Just to clarify, are PT 101-158 real full length examples of what I can expect on the upcoming August LSAT?

Hello,

I bought 7 sage a few days ago and I just purchased the lawhub subscription today but my 7sage says

"You successfully linked 7Sage to your LSAC account, however your LSAC account does not have an active LawHub Advantage subscription. Please purchase or renew LawHub Advantage on your LSAC account directly from LSAC by logging into lawhub.lsac.org, then tapping on your name in the top right corner, then “Upgrade to LawHub Advantage.”

Please let me know how to fix this so I can get studying.

Hi folks,

This isn't a question about the LSAT, but it is a question about law school admissions and in particular the LSAC, so I hope it's still permissible to ask it on this forum.

I've not yet purchased CAS (Credential Assembly Service), and I'd like to do so as soon as possible (preferably by next week). I understand that in order to do that I need to list all of the institutions I've attended.

But on the page on the LSAC where I'm supposed to add all the institutions I've attended, I find this sentence: "Please carefully review your responses before selecting the Confirm button to submit your institutions attended to LSAC. Once you click on Confirm, you will not be able to edit your institutions."

This wouldn't be a problem if I were absolutely certain which institutions I should list, but I'm not. For:

I studied abroad for a year and I'm not absolutely certain I don't need an international transcript in addition to my domestic transcript. I don't THINK I do because I only attended for a year and the program was sponsored by my home institution, but maybe I'm wrong about that.

I believe I took two college courses from a different institution (not my undergraduate institution and not my study abroad institution) when I was in high school, but I can't remember exactly. Maybe it was three. And I don't remember the exact year.

The question: is it really the case that I have to know definitively the answer to these questions before I can "select the Confirm button"? Is it really true that I can't edit the school information page/the institutions attended page if I figure out I've made a mistake or that I do need to add the study abroad institution or that I do need to add the school I attended while I was a high school student.

I find it inconceivable that LSAC wouldn't allow people to make edits to that page in case they make a mistake or need to supplement it.

Am I wrong?

Which prep tests are left clean for practice tests when you use drilling? What practice tests should I be using for drills vs for full length practice tests?

On full PTs, I scored a 178 and 179 in my PTs and then was scoring slightly lower at 173-176, but now I’ve scored 172 twice in a row. I can see I’m capable of that near perfect score, but now I am worried about the recent decline especially as I get close to the April test date.

For the entire time, I’ve been taking a full PT and blind reviewing on weekends and taking 1-2 sections on weekdays to take 2-3 tests a week.

Has anyone else experienced similar score declines and how did you combat them?
