For anyone interested in a LSAT Study group for either the November or January dates, we are going to be meeting on Thursday 10/13 at 7pm EST to discuss scheduling. So far it seems as if evening meetings are preferable. Message me for the zoom link if interested

My November Lsat score was 157 (did not expect to get this). This would put me at 65 percentile.

What do you guys think my chances for Ontario schools are? Given the smaller applicant pool this year.

Ive applied to Windsor dual, Queens, Western, Osgoode, Ryerson(TMU), Ottawa.

Personally I think id be good for Windsor and Western maybe.

Hi all -

I started my course of study focusing pretty much exclusively on LGs (my first PT was a 159, -4 RC, -13 LG, -avg 5.5 on LR, so the what needed improving seemed clear) and am now in a place where I'm pretty happy with them.

The problem is now LR. On average I'm still -3 or -4 per section, and I just can't seem to crack the most difficult questions. Get them wrong ~50% of the time on BR, get them wrong in the little bit of time I have to check my answers in section.

So - any tips or strategies for approaching difficult (4 or 5 pip) LRs? Thanks in advance!

I am trying to set up drills, but when there are fewer questions remaining than any of the number of question increment choices, I'm getting an error message for creating drills.

E.g. I have 4 questions left in the "Let Virtual Tutor Pick" logical reasoning section, but since the lowest increment of # of questions is 5, I get the following message: "Sorry, we were not able to create a drill based on your criteria. Please try again."

Hi 7Sagers,

I am a low-income, first generation (citizen and college student), Cuban-American woman. Does this count as URM? I have read in several places that Hispanic URMS are only counted as Mexican and Puerto Rican.

Thank you!

No specifics about the test, just a general question regarding experimental sections. Are experimental sections used multiple times in different years? For example, if a section was included in an administration last year or 2 years ago etc., would its inclusion in a current administration mean it was experimental previously but is now the graded section OR would it be experimental again?

I am doing some of the recent PTs and find myself struggle with the relationship among ideal experiment, control groups and causation. (eg: May2020 LR Q11, Q14). I know that ideal experiment could produce a casual outcome, but I still tend to make mistakes on questions testing the ideas of having control groups or of similar concepts. Are there any recommended material that I could read to better understand those concepts on the LSAT?

Many thanks!

In another discussion post about this question (the only other post about this question), one of the responses stated:

the crux of the argument lies in the second part of the second sentence where the author makes an explicit attempt at underlining the underlying logic: "but the absence of sightings cannot prove that it does not (exist)".

In lawgic that's: if there's absence, then we cannot prove non-existence.

Absence --> /prove

In order to weaken the argument, we need to find something that's loosely along the lines of: if there's absence, then that might actually mean non-existence.

(E) encapsulates this best.

But his underlying logic doesn't really make sense to me. If Absence of sightings -> cannot prove yeti does not exist, then the contrapositive is: prove yeti does not exist -> some sightings. The contrapositive doesn't make intuitive sense. If we prove that the yeti does not exist, then there must be some sightings of the yeti? That sounds like the complete opposite of what is necessary to prove something does not exist.

How does answer choice E weaken the argument? Is focusing on the underlying logic in the final sentence the best way to approach this question?

Hello everyone. I have some questions regarding when and how to explain a GPA below a school’s median.

Essentially, I was majoring in Biology during my freshman year of college which was something kinda pushed onto me by my parents and not something I wanted to pursue. In addition to this, I moved houses during my very first semester of college and COVID hit during the middle of my second semester. After performing poorly these first 2 semester in college I decided to switch majors to Psychology and went on to earn an A in every single class I took from there until I graduated. Unfortunately, the failing grades I earned those semesters are counted by the LSAC’s cumulative GPA despite me graduating Summa Cum Laude with a 3.98 GPA. This brings my LSAC GPA to a 3.45. I know, yikes.

Is this something worth writing an addendum for? How will law school view me switching majors and my drastic change in grades?

Hello, I just finished taking the September exam. However when I was I taking the exam, I had really bad noise disruptions. Would I be eligible to file a complaint? Or could you advice me on what to do?
