I am aware of sites such as Rate My Professor and Above the Law, but does anyone have any other websites to look at? I assume Reddit is a popular option as well.

Hello 7sage hive mind!!

I have a few questions re: Character and Fitness section.

Every school asks if you have ever been disciplined for academic or non-academic reasons. Do university parking citations count as being disciplined by the school? Does anyone care? This was 7+ years ago.

Along a similar vein... If schools want to know about speeding tickets, should I disclose written warnings? Also, should I disclose when I was pulled over but not issued anything?

I'm clearly down the rabbit hole here lol.

Thanks in advance for your advice

Curious what people think about this question. The second rationale is essentially that a punishment should fit the severity of the crime. Applied to the answer choices, we are to understand that we are not looking for an exact match, but rather a consistent parallel form of reasoning.

So, rationale: punishment = severity of crime.

A: Correctness = fairness

B: Correctness = what society deems correct

C: Correctness = consequences + inherent fairness

D: Correctness = consequences + intuitive rightness

E: Correctness = consequences

Curious on why A is the best answer. Fairness? Is this because attaching fairness to the correctness of an action is consistent with determining the severity of a punishment on the severity of the crime? There's no clear linkage.

I've been going through the PT'S sequentially since pt 36. Got my best score on the last one I took which was pt64 and then yesterday i took pt 65. What was that!? Two 5star rc passages, extremely unusual lr questions, it was a nightmare. Did anyone else take this pt and halfway through felt like they've never taken a pt before?

I am just happy that I have finished the test today and got sort of valuable experience for sure. A bit lost for some time out of panick. Remote testing at home. No technical issue encountered, proctor was very friendly. Had a ten-minute intermission for the restroom, came back and went through security check.

Honestly, LG was not that hard, and it was the only reason I rushed to take the test this time because I have practiced a lot over a long period.

My goal is 170+, which I know, is only realistic with tons of efforts, at least, for myself.

I will continue to study for the next one in Aug.

I've noticed that a huge issue I'm having right now is drawing way too many boards on logic games. Whenever a question introduces new conditions, I can't just picture it in my head- I need to be able to visualize it. I've always been the same way with numbers, I've always been terrible at mental math. What should I be doing to help this? Will I make better inferences in time? I take the LSAT in like a month and would love to address this soon.

I am trying to figure out how I can better understand negating conditionals. For that I tried to start with truth tables for conditionals. But I found that I am unsure if I understand the truth tables for conditionals.

“Princeville is a city in Quebec. If you live in Princeville (P), then you live in Quebec. (Q).”

In what situation is the conditional relationship P→Q true and in what cases is it false?

In other words when is P sufficient for Q and Q is necessary for P. There are four possible outcomes:

1)  you live in Princeville (P=T),  you live in Quebec (Q=T). (P→Q applies & is true)

2) you live in Princeville(P=T), you do NOT live in Quebec(Q=F). (P→Q is false)

3) you do NOT live in Princeville (P=F), you live in Quebec (Q=T) (P→Q is F?!? why?)

4) If you do NOT live in Princeville (P=F), you do NOT live in Quebec (Q=F). (P→Q is F?!? why?)

The last two rows do not seem to be very clear for me if we look at set/subsets.

If I replace the conditional statement with subset symbol P→Q =P⸦Q the truth table does not seem to be very clear.

However, the following (from https://courses.lumenlearning.com/frontrange-mathforliberalartscorequisite1/chapter/1-8-truth-tables-conditionals-and-biconditionals/) makes more sense to me.

p → q where p is I live in an apartment and q is then I pay rent. 

What are the outcomes?

1. I do live in an apartment and I pay rent, then the situation is true (no eviction!)

2. I live in an apartment and I don’t pay rent, then the situation is false (eviction, broken promise)

3. I don’t live in an apartment but I do pay rent, then the situation is true (though why would you do it?)

4. I don’t live in an apartment and I don’t pay rent, then the situation is true (no promise broken)

-

The truth table makes sense if we define and look at conditionals so:

"If P then Q" simply eliminates the possibility that both P is true and Q is false.

P⟹Q  ≡  /(P and /Q)  ≡  /P or Q

For the inverse:

It would be nice if there was a clear example of how to do the same for an inverse please. I can do it if /P→/Q = / [/(P and /Q)]  = P and /Q. However is there an easy to understand example for this?

Were y'all able to use the control F or command F function on the ProProctor LSAT platform?

Do you guys suggest taking PT while progressively working through the syllabus or after I have covered all the course concepts and lessons?

Re-posting this in a more organized manner so everything is in one place. Here is some context.

Last attempt for this cycle.

150 -> 155 -> 159.

I need a 161 at least to be at the median for my dream school. 2 more points.

Of course most of us feel less pressure / whole different dynamic practice test vs. real thing, but I was scoring 163 - 167 for the last 10 tests I took prior to the October LSAT. Not sure if my brain freezes or what. My average was 164 so I was expecting a 160 at least.

Please help, how can I get these two extra points? What would you do in my shoes?I guess Im asking if i retake all the ones i took and start from scratch 7sage? or focus more on review? obviously with the performance anxiety of it being real doesnt help me but instead is a deterrent, i need this to feel as "fake" and relaxed and possible. what do i do study method wise? Im willing to put in the work next month but dont know what to do study method wise.

Any help or insight would be much appreciated. thank you in advance

im doing better in the first attempt than blind review; im not confident enough and i put the answer i felt it could possibly be and i was right the first time although im still doing terribly

Early start as I need to nail it!!!

I am so stress with this upcoming test. First, because it will be the last with LG, so I am expecting the worst, to have the most difficult games ever. Second, I am getting loose in LR cause my focus is LG that I am getting incorrect responses, and when I do the blind review i get them correct, and then I think why I cannot think when I am under time pressure. Can someone give me an advise ??? I know my Core curriculum fundamentals are there.

Hello everyone. I really need some last minute help with my Reading Section, as I take the test in August. I have been averaging -1 to -3 on my LR, however, I have been averaging around -7 to -10 on my RC. I am averaging about a 165-168, but would love to reach a 170. I am looking for a 1 on 1 tutor who can answer my questions and explain to me what I may be doing wrong in my approach for RC. I would love to spend around 50-115 dollars per hour with the tutor. I have tried Varsity Tutors but they were veryyyyy disappointing. Does anyone know any 175+ LSAT tutors that could help me?

Hey! If you're in Chicago and planning to take the August/September '25 LSAT, please message me! I am in desperate need of an accountability partner. I live off the blue line but am flexible. We can meet up at a CPL location.

Hi all,

I'm looking for accountability/study buddies where we can Zoom/Call about 3 times a week to review questions and strategies for drills/practice tests that we take. I'm taking the October LSAT and am aiming for a score in the high 160's. Currently RC is my weakest section.

Here's a discord link if anyone would like to join: https://discord.gg/seKV9rjCmt

Hi everyone.

I have been using analytics to try and determine where my weak points are with regards to question types but I have noticed that tricky stimuli seem to trip me up more than the actual question type. Analytics claim that strengthen and weaken questions are ones I need the most improvement on but I have been nailing them in recent PTs and I feel like the questions I do get wrong on both timed and BR differ greatly from one PT to the next. There doesn't seem to be a consistent trend. Has anyone else come across this issue?

Most of the time when I watch JY's explanations, I will have that "ah I get it moment" which usually comes about because I didn't consider something in the argument, but of course there are those very few questions I need to really dive deep to figure out why my AC was incorrect or how a seemingly wrong AC is actually the correct choice.

I am looking for flashcard sets I can find on quizlet that cover the concepts in each section (Foundation, LR, and RC). Key words to look for, common question stems for each question type, common right and wrong answers for each question type etc. Just things to help improve accuracy and strategy!

Taking the June 2024 LSAT and I've put up some pretty good scores on each section. I've hit -1 on LG, -2 on RC, and -5 on LR. The only problem is that I've never come remotely close to doing all of that on the same test (for example, when I got a -5 on LR, I got my worst ever score on RC; the very next practice test THE NEXT DAY, I got a -2 on RC and put up my worst ever LR score). I'm done with practice tests before test day, but does anyone have any tips on what I can do to brush up and prevent splitting so dramatically?

Hello all! Who else is taking the JAN2024LSAT? How we feelin?

Can someone explain PTC, S2 Q08? I am trying to understand why A is the right answer and why the other answers are wrong.

Thank you for your help.

Hi, I've been studying for the LSAT from July this year. My target is 170+ in the Jan 2024 LSAT (ambitious, i know). But my study schedule has not been consistent. It has seen breaks because of a couple of days because of me being sick or vacation or just my mental health. I have been cognizant of the fact that I would have to take a second attempt and the first one is just a trial run to be more familiar with the exam, but what can I do to maximise my score in the Jan (first attempt) exam itself? My RC and LR sections are strong but I'm PTing in the late 40s because of LG.
