I write to share an observation. Sometimes I struggle with the author's belief type question type in RC even when I have a pretty good grasp of the passage. I just realized that the problem might be because I didn't understand what they were asking me to do.

The source of the problem is assuming the correct answer goes further than necessary. The wrong way to approach it is to assume that they're asking you to take the author's argument and apply it in a new way, consistent with the spirit of the passage. Many wrong answers look like that, and I was falling into that trap.

The correct answers are more conservative. It's almost like we should interpret this question type as if it were a Necessary Assumption type in LR. The right answer feels like it's not really adding anything new.

In short, less is more. The correct answer is more like a MBT or a NA than it is an MSS.

Do you agree?

You must be registered for an upcoming test in order to start the accommodations request process.

You'll need to submit two forms: Candidate Form and a Qualified Professional Form

You submit and wait to get an email. If you submit both forms it's very likely you'll be granted all accommodations you request.

Hope this helps!

Hi. My name is Juan and I'm starting this new discussion in hopes of connecting with others that suffer from Attention Deficit Disorder and are taking the LSAT with accommodations. If there is anyone in the community that would like to share their experiences, tips or support on how to succeed on the LSAT while having this disorder, I and I'm sure many other will appreciate it. Thanks!

Hi All! Fairly silly question but I was wondering what exactly the test format looks like for the official LSAT. When doing practice questions you can chose between 7sage format or standard format - is the standard one comparable to the actual format on the test? I read somewhere that when you're taking the LSAT for RC that there's a function that allows you to search words in the passage is this true? Additionally if anyone with insights could tell me about the paper and pencil format of the test that would be super helpful too. Thanks!

Seems to be that I am getting the most points off because of my lack of good timing. Does anyone have recommendations on how I can improve this? I want to take the LSAT in June before LG is gone, being that LG is my best section.

I am currently studying in China for a year and planning to take the LSAT in April. I cannot find much information about this on the website but I was wondering if the test is being administered at test centers in Beijing. If not, how is the platform accessible remotely given the restrictions on google and similar websites? Has any of you taken it in China?

Any advice would be helpful!

Hey! Perhaps a silly question, but is there a tool on the drills page to draw things out for LR questions? I have been searching for a pen tool to map things out, but I only have access to highlighters.

I took my first LSAT last September, got a decent score for me, and applied to several schools. I got some nice scholarship offers, but I ultimately decided to hold off due to financial concerns. I'm retaking the LSAT this November and planning to take another shot at applying this December (some of the same schools as last year, some new ones). I've heard a lot of people recommend at least updating the old PS. However, I'm considering a topic that is totally different from last year's.

In my first PS, I wrote about the area of law I wanted to go into and my passion for that industry. Since then, I've been pondering a childhood hardship that I genuinely think has shaped me as a person and could make a pretty compelling story that directly ties into my desire to go into law.

But would it be a bad idea to apply to the same schools as last year with this completely different PS? I made no mention of the hardship in my first PS, and it's not like this was an experience that happened since my applications last year. I'm not quite sure why I didn't write about it in the first place. It's possible I didn't fully see how it would make sense as a personal statement, or it just felt strange to write about.

I haven't used this discussion tab much before... If I left out important details, please let me know. Thanks so much to anyone that takes the time to read this!

Hello,

I was wondering what the 8 digit HTML keycode is on the ProctorU system checkup? Is that the same thing as the LSAC account number?

Thank you very much.

Hello!!!

I'm looking for some study partners!!! I scored a 165 last year and I am trying to get a 170+.

Would love some mutual help/guidance/accountability to make sure I am getting in the study I can. I'm a full time graduate student in music composition at the moment, so it's a bit harder to get to studying than what I would have suspected...please reach out if you are interested! Thanks!!!

Hi. Its been over a year since I first went through the LR part of the 7Sage Curriculum and I have taken time away from studying in the interim. I am going to take the LSAT again to try to up my score, as I've taken a few PTs recently and scored 2-5 points higher than I used to score, consistently - trying to get every last scholarship dollar available.

I've spent most of my time since resuming studying working on LGs, but recently as I've started to work on grouping and in/out LGs, I've realized that I need some help going back over translating words into logic language, especially when dealing with negations, negative, or double negatives. Could someone point me to where in the 7Sage Curiculum I could get a quick crash course on logic translations for "or", "not both", and just basic logic translations to get me back on track as quickly as possible. I'm hoping to get back on track rather quickly and knock this (hopefully) final attempt of the LSAT out of the park.

I was thrown off by this one; even took a few times to read it before I realized what I did wrong. What I failed to recognize is that he seems to be assumed the reason for the complaints is the complainant's difference in political opinion; this has, in fact, not been demonstrated to be true.

Hello, if there is still an open study group accepting students for the June exam, kindly consider sending me an invite.

Just when I thought I was out for the logic games, J.Y pulled me back in! his explanations are so addictive. Having a masters in pure mathematics is even worst because I like this stuff.

I have only taken a few PTs. I only have two weeks before my LSAT (I know, I am cramming and it is not ideal at all). Should I take the newest PTs then BR them? I would assume that it won't do me much good to take the oldest ones?

Realistically, I will probably only be able to get through 3-5 PTs between now and then.

Hi, I’m working on the 12 LR Drilling sections for MSS questions, and I could use some tips for Blind Review. A lot of what I have listened to makes me as if Blind Reviewing would be more effective when doing PTs. But what i’ve been doing so far is watching the explanation videos for questions I get wrong and then writing down why I get them wrong and why the right answer is right. But I still seem to miss a couple questions during each drill. Any tips?

Hi all,

I've been studying for the LSAT for ~3 months now in preparation for the April LSAT, and I was consistently in the 166-170 range before finally hitting my target of 172+ (173) recently. What steps should I be taking to maintain this score in the month remaining before my test?

I take plenty of PrepTests and do lots of drills, but sometimes I feel like doing these drills isn't helping me learn -- like JY said in a video, it's almost like I'm doing them just for the bet of hoping I score well once I see my results. I also don't have one particular 'weakness', so I feel like going back in the curriculum isn't too useful.

Would really love any advice!

Hi! Does anyone know how much it matters that I put down that I strongly prefer remote testing but could go in person? After reading more about remote vs in-person, I now strongly prefer in person, but I can't tell how to notify LSAC...

Thank you!

I got my October LSAT reassigned to the Grand Hyatt New York. Has anyone taken it there before? How was it?

Has this happened to anyone? Will I have to retake it? THIS SUCKS.

I have a LSAC fee waiver. How can I provide this information and what does it qualify me for? I'm new to your site, so I'm not certain where to ask these questions.

7 Sage is an excellent method of preparing for LSAT as all here know.

I was wondering if anyone has experiences with LSATMax and can they recommend for LSAT prep.

I was thinking in terms of Jan2020 LSAT preparation.

Hi I am looking for study buddies anywhere in Seoul!!!

If you are interested, please comment or DM me!!!

Thank you! :3

Hey all.

I'm looking to start a study group or be a study partner in the SLC/Provo area.

Currently, I am scoring around 15high 16low and am drilling LG like crazy. I will be taking the LSAT in June, but I'm considering an April test as well. This will mostly be for accountability purposes and surrounding ourselves with likeminded people. I think we can also support each other in our admissions efforts when the time comes.

Message me on here so we can exchange information.
