I applied to CLS/Chi quite a few times about 3-5 years ago, last time in 2019-2020 cycle.

I used PS-1 the first time and a different PS-2 in later apps over a few years.

Since then my score has expired and I retook this Oct.

All my other application material (Recs, Resume etc) is pretty much the same. I can't get another rec from elsewhere.

Is it ok to reuse the PS, or do I need to write an entirely "fresh" one?

What if I reuse PS-1 which wasn't the latest PS i reapplied with earlier, how much difference would it make compared to writing a new one?

I did not chose D because it has the word 'interest'. But to me this sounded superficial as oppose to beneficial. I chose E because it shows the exact correlation between the two, but i did think it was a strong statement. Can somebody help?

Is it bad to have multiple score cancellations/ worse than scoring lower on your second test? I cancelled my first score in August of 2021, scored a 155 in November 2022, and now scored worse than a 155 (151) and do not know if I should cancel this score because of the decrease, or not worry because will the schools only care about my 155? I have only 24 hours left to decide to cancel or not and am so so so confused as to what to do... PLEASE HELP! Any advice GREATLY appreciated!!!!

Please share your thought process and how you get the correct answer!

PSA question- please help

Hello!

I'm having some trouble with Flaw questions, and am wondering if anyone has any advice/resource recommendations?

I'm pretty well versed with the many different kinds of logical fallacies. However, I'm weary of how the test makers describe the flaw in the reasoning. E.g. If the author commits a "straw man," I'm unsure how LSAC words/describes that mischaracterization in an AC. Of course, I know our language is complex, and that there are hundreds of different ways to say the same thing (so, how something is worded in one AC, can be worded a different way in another question's AC and mean the same thing)! I see AC's that say "the author takes for granted," "the author fails to consider," etc. and am wondering if anyone knows how to decipher what these different AC's even mean. If the "author takes for granted _____," I'm assuming that LSAC means the flaw is in what the author/argument said/did. If, on the other hand, "the author fails to consider _____," I'm assuming the flaw is something the author/argument didn't say/do.

Has anyone compiled a document with LSAC's different answer choices that best describe different flaws in the reasoning? I've found that sometimes with the explanation videos to flaw questions, the wrong AC's and how LSAC writes them, aren't always described generally/examples of what the wrong AC means aren't always given (e.g. LSAC means by this wording that the argument did this _____, but the argument did this ____, so this AC is wrong). Maybe I've overlooked the curriculum for information on this? I often really overthink these questions, and what the AC is trying to say, and need some #Help!!

performed on the actual test.

I was wondering if anyone had any tips on getting better ta finding the assumptions in strengthen an weaken questions?

7Sagers,

Is there a limit?

So in the last 3 weeks (after 3 months of diligently studying the 7sage CC) I have scored the following:

89: 166 | 80: 164 | 62: 178 | 69: 172 | 82: 167

..aand I'm officially freaked out that the LR wording changes/increased difficulty beginning in the 80s are throwing me, as my RC and LG are both a lot more consistent ( RC -2-4ish and LG -0-2). Has anyone else noticed this in their scores and, if so, what did you do to try to counteract? Since PT80 I've been prioritizing wrong answer journaling, which feels like it's helping a lot, but perhaps to the detriment of more consistent drilling? I'm taking January and would obviously love to crack the elusive 17x barrier in ten weeks. I've been saving the 80s and 90s for the home stretch - but any advice is welcome before I trudge onwards.. #help

Just trying to prepare for the upcoming Nov LSAT score release....it was my second time taking the LSAT. First score was solid and good enough for most schools on my list but wanted to take Nov to improve a few points. Feeling like I did okay but always preparing for the worst—in the event that I ended up getting a lower score, should I cancel the second score??? Does whether I should cancel or not depend on how much worse the second score is? Any advice is welcome!

Taking the January test, looking for a study group. I don't go to UNCW so I've just been going solo for a bit.

Hi everyone,

This is my 2nd week of studying for the February test and I just feel like nothing is clicking. Once it gets a bit complicated, my brain just goes haywire. I've taken a diagnostic test and got 141 :( But the thing is...my brain is telling me this test shouldn't be hard to understand 😪

I'm going through sage's syllabus and have done some drills but I am just overwhelmed by everything that is offered and do not know what works and doesn't work. I would watch the explanation videos and understand it but then it goes out the field once I start practicing on my own. I work full time so I try to study at least 2-3 hours for at least 6 days of the week to prevent burnout but I just don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Do any of you have tips for me? Please help. I've considered getting a 7sage tutor but don't know if that will help if I've only been studying for 1 full week.

D must be false because stimulus says that brains of identical twins are genetically identical and its the differences in brain from which we can tell if a twin is Schizo

Why are my notes in the My Notes tab arranged alphabetically instead of in order of lesson? How do I fix this??

I recently took a PT untimed and got a 170. I am looking to meet anyone living in Seoul to meet and talk about the LSAT and maybe deal with whatever we can. I know how to approach and study for the test now but we can maybe meet and talk about what we can do to improve. I think essentially it is productive to meet offline and talk about this. We can meet at Wing Study Café at Exit 9 of Gangnam station. They charge 1,900 KRW per hour for each person. In other words, if we meet for three hours, the cost would be 5,700 KRW per person. I can also tutor for free if anyone is just starting and want to learn the basics of the LSAT. If we meet for a tutoring, we would divide the cost of using the study café 1/n. In other words, no need to pay me anything other than the fee for using the study café for yourself. Please send me an inbox. Thanks!

I'm going through the "Skill Builder - Group 2 Translations" unit of the Conditional and Set Logic section in the Core Curriculum and I'm having some trouble understanding why contrapositives were not used for questions 7.1-7.5. Was looking through the forums and comments under that unit and couldn't find much that explained why contrapositives weren't being used here. I did, however, see a comment that mentioned contrapositives not being used because the conditional language was used to express a potential causal relationship (more than a sufficient-necessary relationship). However, it still seems that those statements are conditional with comparative and causal elements (at least based on the explanations provided for those statements and how I and others interpreted them).

So would statements indicating there being causal and/or comparative elements not require contrapositives, especially if the statements can also be translated into lawgic and indicate there being a sufficient/necessary relationship??

My apologies in advanced if this type of question is meant to go under that unit and not in the discussion forum. It's just that there wasn't much of a response (if any) from the tutors about this.

Hi everyone,

Due to connection issue, we will have to cancel today's Beating Curvebreakers with Raphael. Join Raphael's class again on January 5th.

My two body paragraphs were complete. Yet, I did not finish my conclusion. Will this be to my disadvantage?

Hi all:

I just took my LSAT Writing Sample and, though it went well, I am concerned about the formatting in the interface. As I was writing, I was able to skip a line between each paragraph. However, when the submission screen showed me my essay, the skipped lines were gone so that it seemed like a block of text. It still needs to be processed, so I am wondering if anyone has faced a similar issue or if it gets taken care of on the back end.

With this question, i was trying to find the conclusion to break down this question and I had a difficult time with what the answer should look like ' and what kind of support would be the correct answer.

I'm on waitlist for NYU and I got a Kira invite-to do an interview. Any and all advice welcome and what kind of questions are they likely to ask, that I should be practicing? (other than why law/why NYU)

Hello,

My name is Ken Kim. We are a group of Koreans and Korean-Americans planning to take the LSAT either this October or in a couple of years. We have members scoring from 160-175 either on the official test or practice tests. Some of us are committed full-time to the test while some of us are working at a company, law firm, etc. We meet on the following date at the Gangnam station Exit 9 Wing Study Cafe.

2:00 pm-5:00 pm, Sunday

We usually meet and do questions from LR and RC. We match our answers and discuss why each one of us have chosen an answer we chose. The fee for joining the study is free other than paying for the studying cafe fee which is 1,900 KRW per person for each hour (5,700 KRW total).

If you are interested, please send me a message to my inbox. I will direct you further. Thanks!

Answer is C: I actually eliminated C pretty quickly on the grounds that the answer choice alleges the ethical principle does not help the journalist, whereas Anita states that the guidance is inadequate. If something is inadequate, I take that to mean it is insufficient for achieving a purpose. However, something can be inadequate but still help in a situation. If I say "the water from one fire hose is inadequate for putting out the forest fire," it doesn't mean that the water from the one fire hose does not help in extinguishing the fire. It most definitely helps, but is insufficient to achieve that purpose.

Can someone tell me why answer choice C is correct? I ended up eliminating every answer choice in this question and just guessed since I was stumped.
