Hi guys I would appreciate it if someone could review my reasoning for this question and let me know if this is correct. When BRing I realized that I made a mistake and chose A rather than E which is correct.

Basically if negated, A says something along the lines of less than 51% of those people who abandon the use of chemical fertilizers will periodically grow alfalfa. Now this may be tempting but it doesn`t really do much, our argument doesn`t say that every person needs to make this switch, just that in order to improve the soil structure we need to ditch chemical fertilizers and begin growing green manure crops.

E is a much better answer because it tells us that we can`t use chemical fertilizers AND grown green manure crops, so we have to ditch chemical fertilizers as stated in the argument

When negated it sounds somewhat like, some farmers in the region will grow green manure even if they do not abandon the use of chemical fertilizers, suggesting that we do not need to ditch the fertilizers in order to grow green manure, and ruining our argument.

I also struggled a little with answer choice D, but here`s my reasoning

I think its incorrect because when negated it just says chemical fertilizers themselves do not have a destructive effect on soil, this can be true because the argument is assuming that its the switch from green manure to chemicals that has deteriorated the soil structure, it doesn`t need to be that the chemicals themselves are destructive.

Let me know what you think!

Hello! I am unsure when I should take the LSAT so any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I am currently a rising junior in college in New York, and I live in CA. I have just started studying for the LSAT, and I prefer to take it in California, not in New York, so that limits the months I can take it. As a student-athlete, I am pretty busy during the school year. Should I use this summer, the upcoming school year (25-26), and next summer to study so I can take it next July or August (2026)? Does this seem like a reasonable plan?

This will be my first time taking it, so I'm wondering if my second time should be the summer after senior year of college/after I graduate, when I am hopefully working as a paralegal or something (before I apply to law school). Idk, I have not really thought out when I should take it a second time. Lmk what you guys think!

Thanks in advance for the input!

Hi everyone,

I’ve been studying for the LSAT consistently but inconsistently for about a year now. I started in the low to mid-140s and have since climbed into the 150s, but I’m aiming to break into the 160 to 165+ range by the September test.

By “consistently but inconsistently,” I mean that I’ve tried to study as regularly as possible, but I haven’t had a full two-week stretch of uninterrupted, focused prep during that time. Due to personal life changes, working 20 to 30 hours a week, and maintaining some extracurriculars post-grad, my schedule has been pretty fragmented. I know this has likely contributed to my score plateau.

Right now, I usually try to complete one timed LR section and one timed RC section per week, along with some drilling and review. I also keep a wrong answer journal, although it sometimes feels tedious and time-consuming. For resources, I’ve used The LSAT Trainer for RC, completed the 7Sage curriculum last summer, and worked through The Loophole.

At this point, I’m feeling a bit frustrated that my score has been stuck in the low 150s for a few months. If any of you have broken through a similar plateau in a short time frame (1 to 2 months), I’d really appreciate any tips. Whether it’s study schedules, habits, tricks, or anything else that helped you see a jump, I’m open to suggestions.

Thanks in advance, and best of luck to everyone studying right now!

Is anyone looking for accountability partners/creating a study group? I am planning to take the October and November LSAT and would love to network/work with others to prepare

Hello,

On average, when (March-May I guess?) do people receive replies from schools? If you apply early, do you get result early as well?

Thanks

Hey 7Sage friends, i took pre-test 68 and scored very differently on the two LR sections. i am a bit perplexed by the discrepancy. How does one get 85% aka 22/26 on the first section of LR on a preptest and then get 56% aka14/25 on the second section of LR on the same preptest? I did both of them timed during a full practice test and THEN redid both sections, timed as well, and got the same score on a different day. I redid them to make sure that the second sections failure wasn't an accident. The difficulty level of the second LR section is clearly much more difficult for me. I would say 85% on the first section is a great outcome but the second section killed my score overall. any tips or explanations for the difference in difficulty? So i need to go back to fundamentals? do preptests usually have one section of the LR that is SIGNIFICANTLY more difficult in comparison to the other? thanks in advance

I know it is early in the game, but I am curious anyone getting off waitlists and where? just want to celebrate those moving on up in admissions.

I was wondering if anyone had any insight on how the LSAT-flex will be scored? If it’s on the same scale as the regular LSAT does that mean we can miss about 8 questions and still get a 170? Thank you!

Hey all,

I took the June LSAT and ended up getting a 164, which for me was not ideal. I am attempting the LSAT again this August with the hopes of scoring 172 or above. It may be a stretch, but I'm willing to put in the work. For me personally, I feel like my LR performance needs some improvement, though we can also go over RC if needed.

My timezone is EST, but people from other zones are also welcome. I am looking to study consistently Monday through Friday and then dedicate the weekend for a practice exam and blind review. We can work out the exact timings of the meetings later once enough people have joined. If anyone is in the same boat as I am, feel free to send me your discord tag so that I can add you to my server.

Does anyone know if we can take the Flex with the color inverted on our laptops? This is where the background is black and the words are white.

Did any Flex takers try this?

Highly doubt anyone would have this info but what is the average distribution of questions based on level of difficulty per section. For example (average 3 level 5s on LR, or 80% level 3 or below on LR).

Thoughts?

I have a clear top choice for law school, and while I would love to apply Early Decision, I will likely need some scholarship money. Obviously, Early Decision reduces that chance of receiving money you would receive otherwise. But is it still standard for a law school to dish out money to an Early Decision applicant? My application for this particular school will likely benefit from an LSAT score at the median or 75th percentile but a GPA at the 25th percentile.

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone,

I am attempting to study through chunking. What I mean is, in order to get myself back in rhythm of studying I'm going to use the chunking method so I don't burn out, so I can understand what I am learning, and to properly execute what I learned through practicing.

My main concern currently is how should I chunk the material?

For LG I do pretty well, I'm somewhere between 3-4 questions wrong (this is was the case in FEB) I don't know where I stand currently until I do some practice LGs.

The biggest section I want to focus on is LR. So,what should I chunk? Should I do 3 30 min chunking sessions throughout the day and have different concepts to chunk such as MP/MC, STR, Weaken or do 1 30min chunk session with 2-3 concepts and then later on in the day go through some flashcards to reinforce what I learned and do a couple of practice problems?

I believe this could help a lot of people if they don't have time such as myself.

What are your thoughts?

Hi,

I chose C here because I thought it was supported by lines 5-7 and I didn't choose B because I didn't see how the passage showed how laws were less/more rigid (since I didn't see anything about laws being flexible or changeable). Can anyone help explain why B is right and C is wrong?

Any #help would be very appreciated!

Thanks!

I intend to using 7Sage for LG and another resource for RC and LR. However, I'm having trouble trying to create this personalized curriculum, as I'm not sure which lessons are geared towards Logic Games (other than "Intro to Logic" and "Advanced Logic". Any help is much appreciated!

I was WL by HLS. Really happy!

If anyone has experiences of what it is like to be on wait list for HLS schools, LMK.

Already submitted my LOCI. My favorite professor at Columbia University (got an A+ and worked alot together this year) wants to submit another letter of rec because she did not write one since i was not done with her course during my application period. Even tho HLS generally advises against this, should I do it? Should I call them up to ask or just send in a compelling LOR?

So I have a question on Problem Set questions, particularly the last two ones. Usually I am on a role and get most to all of the questions right in the sample single questions before the problem sets. Those sample single questions seem to be also numbered at the harder ranges like 10-25 ish. However when it comes ot the problem sets, especially the ones with 5 stars, they seem to be exponentially harder than any of the sample questions before the sets. For an example: in the Necessary Assumption section, I was pretty much able to get most of the questions right in the single questions. Not only that, the questions I got wrong consisted of a minor misreading of the passsage or answer choice. And don't forget that these questions are also in the 10-25 range which I believed would have helped me with the 5 star questions. It turns out that I was wrong. The difficulty in figuring out the correct answer choices even after significant amount of times has been evident. A question 13 from a 5 star question in a problem set seem to be exponentially harder than a question 13 from any of the sample single questions before the problem sets. I have been wondering, where does getting the 5 star questions right rougly place you in the LSAT score ranges compared to 4 star or 3 star?

In hindsight I understand why D is correct (PT 3 section 2 Q 9), but I eliminated it because in the STIMULUS the comparison was to the same amount of whole milk. The question stem tells us that the coconut oil doesn't "usually cause" the blood cholesterol level to rise which allows us to consider the fact that people use more of one product than another. Is this type of chunky question stem that allows for a gap in reasoning that wasn't present in the stimulus happen in other LSAT LR questions? Or is this abnormal since it's a very old test?

Hello all

So a month ago I got waitlisted at a pretty decent state school where I live. I immediately sent a LOCI and stated that I would definitely attend if granted admission.

But...

Today I got a waitlist offer at a much much better school that I was so convinced would reject me. This is a school that I would attend without thinking twice about it, but now I am conflicted because I am terrified that if I send that school a LOCI, they may contact the state school that I sent my first LOCI where I claimed that I would attend if taken off the waitlist and then I'd be in trouble.

What should I do?

Hi all! This is my first time posting on here and I hope I explain my predicament clear enough. Right now I am working on logic reasoning and my accuracy is at about a 95% with level 1 questions. The second I move into level 2, 3, &4 I start to plummet, which I expected. I know it takes practice which is what I'm doing. Where my issue comes in is, when I do those higher difficulty practice questions ill be honest I get less than 50% right on the first try but the second I move into blind review, I suddenly see that I picked the wrong answer and I do end up picking the correct answer. I am wondering if anyone has some tips that they think might help?

My diagnostic was a 142 and I have yet to take another test because I really just wanted to build the knowledge of the questions first and work on it a little bit, But my accuracy is going up, just not on the first try :(

Are international LSAT exams switching to digital too? I am taking the June LSAT in Korea, so I would like to know if it will be digital or paper.

Hey there,

I've been looking over the LSAC website and noticed their list of schools in Canada that offer a J.D and the list of schools in Australia that offer a J.D as well.

Is it really possible for me as an American to attend a law school in another country, attain a degree and then practice law and live there?? If so, I'm really going to consider it.

Any help would be appreciated, and while I wait for a response I'll see what google has to say haha.

Thanks in advance.
