PrepTest B - Section 1 - Question 11
We do not hold someone who has a heart attack while driving MR for the damage cause is the C and the claim that the choice of a diet can affect whether or not one has a heart attack it is used to support the C of the argument. The Correct AC is E
Admin Note: Edited title. Please use the format: "PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of the question."
Ive taken the time to learn the fundamentals of LR and RC for months. Now I'm drilling non stop based on previous prep test analytics but I'm asking how you to balance studying. Given in a week, approx 4 hrs/daily
Monday- LR specific Q types
Tuesday-LR
Wednesday: RC
Thursday: RC
Friday: LR
Saturday: anything you didn't get done
Sunday: rest
How do you balance RC/LR?
Hi everyone,
Is there an explanation for why the scaled score varies by 1-2 points from the current test format to the obsolete test format, same raw score? This is reflected in the conversion table on 7sage. For example, -5 is a 174 for X modern PT, but 173 for the corresponding obsolete (but modified - LR, LR, RC, no experimental) PT. Presumably, since the same scored sections are tested (given 7Sage modification), the scaled score should be the same, unless I'm misunderstanding something.
I made the mistake of taking a test on LawHub under the current test format and manually inputting the answers in the corresponding obsolete (but modified, no LG) 7Sage test. Two different scaled scores were given, 1 point off. I double checked - exact same scored sections. Is this just a matter of adjusting the scaled scores with removal of LG?
And I assume that I should rely on the current test format's scaled score, correct?
Please speak to how many questions to select, what difficulty to set it to, which years, etc.
Hi all! I had been consistently scoring between 165-167 on previous PTs before I took the Nov LSAT, and was incredibly disappointed to when I found out I 160 on it. This is my first time using 7sage and I am taking the January LSAT.
How in depth should I be studying each LR question type? I'm finding that doing the lessons don't leave me much time for drilling and I'm not sure how to balance it. Would love some advice on how to use the study plan in tandem with drilling and taking sections!
Thanks :)
Hi All,
I am currently in the process of reworking my resume to tailor it for law school. I am about to enter my final year of undergrad, and plan to apply this fall.
Just wondering about two main things:
What should we include on our resume about highschool? Just the school and the year? Honour roll/awards in graduating year? Any clubs? I was not planning on mentioning all clubs/extra curriculars, but I did found/participate in one club all the way through high school, so I am wondering if it is worth including.
Can we include items that are planned for the upcoming school year? For example, if I have already joined a club this summer and will be beginning to ramp up my involvement in the fall, should I write about my expected duties?
Thanks!
So I just took the August test. At the beginning of the test before the proctor got in, I had my do not disturb on, then when my proctor joined she turned my do not disturb off (I think she thought she was turning it on). With about 20 minutes left in my last section, I got a text saying "Have you taken the lsat yet". I have a mac so it popped up on my laptop too. I didn't open the text or anything I just waited for it to go away. I started panicking and began to go to turn do not disturb back on using the top right bar but then didn't. What are the chances my test get flagged or something else?

Hey everyone,
I just took the LSAT in November and scored a 147. After studying for 5 to 6 months I was pretty bummed by my score. Since then, I've been grinding and have consistently been scoring between 155 and 158 throughout 8 to 9 practice tests. I was wondering what tactic's you used/ what you studied to get from the mid 150's to the low 160's. I'm taking the test in January again in 4 weeks and am wondering if this is even attainable if I put in 40 hours a week studying. Thanks :)

I took the June LSAT and plan on retaking in November. I just recently got 7Sage, I am wondering if I should just go through all of the videos and then begin taking practice tests or should I be incorporating practice tests as I go through the videos?
Thank you!
I work 9-5 so evening and weekends would be the only time I could have study sessions. I plan on taking the LSAT in April with a goal of 170+. Message me if you'd like to connect!
So I missed my Oct test, (my fault PST vs CST) I total miss read the time and when I logged in it was too late.What is the consequences on my application for missing an exam? I will schedule to take it on January again.I called LSAC and they said I can't do anything about it. How will this effect my chances of get into LS?
Hi all,
My PT score does not reflect my drill score. I consistently get -0 to -3 on individual LR timed sections (some of these are older tests, some are fairly new). On full PT LR sections, I get around -5/-6, regardless of the order of sections. There have been only a select few times I've gotten -3 or better on LR PTs, but those were a few months ago.
BR score for LR is usually -1/-3, so I don't think it's a lack of comprehension or understanding of the material...
Any tips on getting my PT score to better reflect my drilling score? I suspect it's a matter of PT stress, but are there any other major reasons you think there's a difference that I'm overlooking?
Advice much appreciated, thanks!
This question was doozy. I wanted to share with others my notes on how I got the correct answer during Blind Review. During the timed test, I would most likely skip this one and save it for later. It took some time for me to translate the stimuli into a format that made sense to me.
At first, I also thought that the sentence in question was the conclusion of the argument. I had to ask myself what the author was really trying to convince me of; that it is not necessary to be at home to be in your house? No. The author was trying to convince me "You can be in your backyard and not at home, that is, not in your house."
So, my notes to decipher it and arrive at the correct answer looked like this:
Difficult argument structure. I think it is C because if we rewrote the stimuli into easier language to read and understand it would look like:
Conclusion: You can be at home if you are in your backyard but not in your house.
Premise: For example, you can also be in your house but not at home if you rent your house to others. (If you're the landlord you could be in the house to do repair work, but you are not 'at home' because you don't live there)
Premise 2/Subconclusion: Therefore it is not sufficient to be in your house to be at home.
Translation of answer choice C: Claim is compatible with the truth or falsity of the conclusion = This is a premise/sub conclusion
I have an accomodation for reading/thinking aloud on the LSAT. Are there any rules that anyone knows of for that? For example, I typically have a constant song running through my head when I'm focusing. I'm usually trying to talk over it honestly. However, sometime on LG, for example, while I'm redrawing set ups, I hum and sing those songs to try to get it out of my head. I can do everything without humming, but I'd like to know if I'd get in trouble for doing that. I really just don't want the proctor to interrupt my train of thought to tell me to stop humming or singing to myself. I'd rather focus on not doing it than having something throw me off day of. I know it's kinda a strange question!
Thanks!
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 dates at the Gangnam station Exit 9 Wing Study Cafe.
8:00 pm-11:00 pm, Monday
8:00 pm-11:00 pm, Wednesday
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!
Hey everyone!
Wondering if there is anyone that currently has a parent with cancer and is studying for their LSAT? How has studying been? How are you managing both the LSAT and care-taking?
I was originally suppose to take the Nov LSAT and then bumped it to Jan because my father's cancer treatment was a large commitment, he currently has stage 3 skin cancer (don't forget to wear sunscreen everyday y'all). I have a few more days to decide if I still want to do the Jan LSAT or take it in Feb/early next year and apply next cycle (I'm PT'ing around 160-167 timed). I'm 24 right now and I know 26 is not old but I feel a bit pressured to get in next cycle at 25. I worry that I might commit to the Jan LSAT and then my father's cancer might progress which will only lead to more stress and anxiety.
Everyone around me has been nothing but supportive about any decision I make so I'm just looking to get any general advice from people experiencing the same or a similar thing! Thanks everyone and happy studying!!

Hey all -
Currently prepping for the Oct 22 LSAT. I took the April 22 LSAT, had some significant life events in may/june, and resumed study in July
I had taken 5 timed PTs and an untimed diagnostic, and had worked my way up from 152 to a 168, 170, and 168 in my last tests. In April I was back down at a 162. I didn't feel like I was panicking more than I did in the PTs where I did better. Is a 6 or 8 point relative drop normal from practice to test day? Are there any things I can work on before October to even up the performance?
PTs are showing marginal but real progress from there, but I'm wondering how much I should discount that. I will say that I'm feeling more confident (particularly on LGs), but that's hard to measure.
I'm (30F) registered to re-take the LSAT in January after scoring a 161 previously. Find me studying in a DC Public Library, Georgetown university, and coffee shops in downtown D.C. I have a plethora of organized study prep materials and would love too have someone join me at my study table!
If any of you live in DC - MD - NOVA leave a comment below to connect!
i got this answer choice correct but im not sure why successful is negated ; i think its because initially successful is necessary and to make it sufficient yoiu have to negate; i know why prime purchasers is negated
