i'm taking a new preptest on Sunday and wonder whether anyone else would be interested in getting together to take it with me. i'd prefer to emulate test conditions (e.g. starting at 8:30AM). let me know!

I’m wondering if anyone else has encountered this issue where there are discrepancies between the digital lsat that the LSAC released and the one they demonstrated on the tutorial? On my laptop the same format shows up, but on my tablet the passage only, highlighters, underline, and eraser functions are not there. Also I’ve read that in RC there’s numbers that you can use to annotate the passage, and on SR questions it will highlight it in the passage, and on LR there’s a collapse answers feature and that you can write on it to mark it up with a stylus pen. All of this is missing and there’s not really any mentions on whether this is an old format they will upgrade and post soon or if it’s my device? I already upgraded my tablet (iPad with safari) so I’m at a loss...

I have been struggling with timing and anxiety with the clock running, which I feel like is developing because I keep over thinking even the simplest of problems. I recently took a preptest and got a 161 timed and my blind review was a 171. Pretty big difference, and proud of myself for the blind review score. Most of my mistakes come from logical reasoning. I actually usually have about 1 1/2 minutes at the end of each section.

Any tips on how to learn how to close this gap that have worked for you guys?

Anyone else taking it at the tourist nightmare hotel across from Penn Station?

How is answer A incorrect and E correct? First, where in the passage is E supported? I can't find it. Next, doesn't A capture not only the main point of the passage but also Goodrich's prescription in lines 40-43 and line 45? Goodrich doesn't think that common law should be looked at as a set of rules (a legal code). Also, line 45 states that common law is a text with history and tradition, and in line 46, studying common law historically is really important. How does this not capture the idea of "a relic of the history of the English people?"

It's a great community over there. Everyone is going through the same struggle, and so everyone is encouraging and helpful.

Join Bailey and Rahela as they examine the implications of a simple but powerful fact: for every LSAT question, there’s only one right answer hiding among four wrong ones. Learn how recognizing this dynamic can transform the way you evaluate choices and increase your accuracy.

From my understanding, RC seems to be subjective. I'm still unsure on which approach to use as all of them give me similar results.

How do you all approach RC? Suppose you have a passage in front of you. Do you refer back to the passage? How long do you usually spend on reading the passage? Do you notate at all? What were your RC scores when you first started and what are they now?

Thanks!

I was wondering if anyone would be interested in reading my Diveristy Statement and giving me some feedback? I'm happy to do the same.

Can we use touch screen for exam if it’s not a tablet? With stillus tool?

Hi everyone! I'm not sure what to do about this, so hoping maybe someone else has experienced the same issue. I haven't been able to use the search function in Lawhub for a long time, and it didn't work on my June test (didn't submit for a retake, I didn't realize I could). The highlight function also often hits the wrong words, which takes even longer to get through RC. Has anyone else has this happen, and how did you fix it?

Thank you!!

Just took a practice test and proceeded to the Blind Review after.

How representative is the score of the Blind Review to my overall success of taking that PT? Should I expect growth to that score?

7Sagers, I'm doing some BR and I'm really conflicted on this question. I have no idea what the answer is to this question yet (I wanted to get feedback from you guys first) so I have no idea if I've even narrowed it down to the right final two answer choices but here's where I'm at.

This is the passage about the permissibility of custom-made medical illustrations in the courtroom. The question says

Removed. Please see forum rules.

Here's where I'm at with the question:

a) I think this may be an implicit argument? But the passage in the third paragraph actually seems to be refuting criticism not directly making a stance yet

b) ~~~ B looks really good

c) Does she do this? I don’t see where it says that they aren’t permissible in the court room – just that they are more confusing than general illustrations

d) No, she doesn’t do that in this paragraph.

e) ~

I’m really stuck and torn between answer choices B and E and I’m not sure I can figure out what the differences are on my own. Both look really good. The objection in the second paragraph to custom-made medical illustrations is that they misrepresent facts to comply with a partisan interest. The third paragraph says that the complaint is that they distort the issues through a variety of means. Does this count as a variant then? It feels like it does

Answer choice E seems tricky because it’s not lengthy but the paragraph does say that it’s an issue of complexity and simplicity and that this is in effect the differences between the two. Both answer choices seem really good.

Hey everyone I just started studying for the LSAT I'm not from Toronto but interning here at a law firm for the summer and looking for other people around the area who are also gearing up to take their LSAT. Would love to create a group or find anyone who is looking for someone to study with.

Was there a separate session on embedded conditional reasoning?

LSAT Party time, that is!

Hi,

I was wondering about the approaches people take to diagramming.

Personally, I kind of start diagramming as I read. If the setup is pretty straightforward, I would write the game pieces and slots/board down when I reach them. But sometimes it's unclear which is optimum to use as pieces/board. I find that typically it is not crucial; rather a matter of preference. Often, I just go with what I have down already. (I'm only talking about cases when it doesn't appear essential.)

Although I probably won't be switching it up in the final few days, I'm curious to know how others approach this.

Thanks

I just got invited to do a group interview with Dean Cornblatt... but I already did an alumni interview in mid-December and haven't heard back since. Has anyone else had this experience or know what it could mean?

I'm planning to take Dec exam so if anyone wants to do full practice tests (in the 70s) together, please msg me.

I've been able to consistently get -0 or -1 in LG, and I got my first perfect LR (both sections) yesterday. Best RC score I've gotten was -1, but I've been scoring -3 to -4 pretty consistently. I'm definitely doing better than when I started, and I'm usually able to catch most if not all mistakes during BR, but I'm having trouble nailing down those last few points while I'm timed (even when I'm not feeling rushed). Any tips on improving RC? Thanks in advance!

PLEASE help! I seem to be missing all weakne questions and I don't know what to do anymore. I tried everything!

Hey guys! Can someone please help me with understanding exactly how to do BR for reading comp? It's seems much more intuitive to me how do to BR for LR and LG but not so much for RC. Thanks for your help:)

Hey guys, can someone give their own explanation regarding how they arrive at the correct answer for this one?

For me, it is clear why A, D, and E are wrong, but I got hung up between B and C. I choose B both during the actual PT and during BR.

I initially chose B because it seems that it can be true given the information in the stimulus. While the stimulus states (in short) that is it unlikely individuals can adequately provide funding and the necessary skills, the unlikeliness of those possibilities does not seem to eliminate the possibility that some founders are adequate at providing both funding and skills.

After seeing that the answer is C, I was able to justify (somewhat) why B is incorrect. While some founders could be adequate at both funding and skills, it is not necessary. It also seems to contradict the stimulus because if some members can have both the adequate funding and skills, then you can challenge that having a group is more likely to be successful v. an individual.

Any other explanations on how to arrive to C? I am having a difficult time articulating exactly why C is correct without simply eliminating the other four ACs.

I had a well known law professor I worked with offer to write me a letter to my dream school... I have already submitted my app and used the max number of references. Is him writing a letter a good or a bad idea? I haven't had a response from the school yet. He's also taught at the school before. I know I should have asked him to be one of my LOR's, but I honestly didn't think he would.
