Just received my November LSAT score and definitely did not do as well as I hoped. I scored about 10 points under what I as PTing which is extremely frustrating. Some of the schools I was looking at are a bit out of reach now. I plan on retaking in January but is it worth it to try applying to some schools if I am over their median/75th percentile GPA but now barely making the 25th percentile on their LSAT scores? Or should I just wait until I retake in January?

I am between AC (C) and (D), however feel (C) is incorrect due to the wording of such. While the part about "providing reasons for rejecting an alternative course of action" fits the description, answer choice (C) also claims "it arrives at it's conclusion indirectly". The word indirectly is what is throwing me off, as the conclusion of the argument "The Transit Authority’s proposal to increase fares by 40 percent must be implemented." is DIRECTLY stated in the very first sentence. Can someone please explain?

Hi, I recently started taking my wrong answer journaling much more seriously since my last PT rather than just doing a somewhat brief and quick BR of the questions on the site due to the anticipation of my PT score. I think I have a good grasp on my LR incorrect answer journal based on what a previous tutor told me on a post of mine a few weeks ago, writing in my explanations for new or kept answers during a BR, so I can then evaluate my thinking when I see whether I was right or not, and what other inferences/tidbits of info I may have missed even if I was right, based on JY's explanations. Though for RC I am not really sure what to do, as I find it harder to remember what my reasoning was typically, due to it being more intuitive rather than cookie cutter in contrast to LR due to the nature of reading longer texts and passages, I find for my self at least. Maybe this shows a glaring flaw in how I approach RC.

P.S: Are there any recommendations for a good and free screen recording software that I can use during PTs?

For this one I picked E but is it because that its more of background information as opposed to a premise which the answer A is?

I'm not sure if I understand the AC right regarding the video lesson, Harrold Foods Hero - Flaw Question (https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/harrold-foods-hero-flaw-question/).

Can anyone #help me understand and identify all the referential inferences in (D)?

(D) taking evidence (1) that a claim (2) is believed to be true to constitute evidence (3) that the claim (4) is in fact true.

evidence (1): ____________.

a claim (2): ____________.

evidence (3): ____________.

the claim (4): ____________.

Here is what I understand:

(D) taking evidence (Belief of most (72%) of consumers) that a claim (Harold foods dominates the market) is believed to be true to constitute evidence (product with more than 50 percent of sales in a market is dominating it) that the claim (Harold foods dominates the market) is in fact true.

evidence (1): Belief of most (72%) of consumers

a claim (2): Harold foods dominates the market

evidence (3): product with more than 50 percent of sales in a market is dominating it

the claim (4): Harold foods dominates the market

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

When I first look at an LR question and try to map it out with conditional logic, I get the answer wrong often and in the video explanation, JY maps it out completely different than I envisioned. Sometimes, I map out elements that are irrelevant to the argument or I'm creating too complex maps that aren't easily boiled down.

What do I need to review so I can get a better understanding?

Hello everyone!

My name is Ken. My friends and I host an LSAT study meeting at Gangnam every Sunday. We do not charge to attend this meeting but ask that each participant only pays for his or her usage of the meeting room at the study cafe. If anyone else wants to join, please read the conditions below and send me a message to my inbox! (:

  • This LSAT study meeting takes place from 2:00 pm-5:00 pm every Sunday at the Gangnam station Exit 9 Wing Study Cafe.

  • The language of the study meeting is English and English only. Any constituent speaking Korean will be asked to speak in English. We will accept a mixture of English and Korean (Konglish).

  • We do not make a profit hosting this LSAT study meeting other than asking each constituent to pay for his or her usage of the meeting room at the study cafe. The fee for using this meeting room is 6,000 KRW per person (1,900 KRW per hour for each person x 3 hours = 5,700 KRW rounded up to 6,000 KRW). This fee must be paid for in advance as soon as the constituent confirms in writing that he or she will attend the upcoming study meeting. The cause for paying the fee in advance as soon as possible is because we have to reserve the meeting room at the study cafe according to the number of constituents attending the meeting.

  • The refund will be issued only if the cancellation is made 48 hours prior to the start time of the study meeting. For example, a constituent has to cancel at latest by 2:00 pm on Friday to receive the refund.

  • The method of payment is KakaoPay and KakaoPay only. The method of refund is KakaoPay and KakaoPay only.

  • Any constituent using profanity or exhibiting an aggressive behavior will be permanently removed from the study meeting.

    • Thanks!

    I'm applying to UofT law and am struggling with the optional essay.

    They recommend speaking about one of four suggested topics, but I'm struggling with selecting the one that fits best, as I already speak to my future ambitions in my personal statement.

    One of the options is diversity. I'm of Lebanese origin and grew up in Dubai. Is there any way this would be an acceptable ground for diversity, or is it best to go with another topic?

    How often should I take a practice test? I am following the 7sage syllabus and have only taken a practice test once where it was a part of the syllabus. The practice test was form 2007.
