Doesn't [D] just strengthen the premise that scholars are more likely to study successful businesses than unsuccessful businesses? Can someone explain to me why it's right? It doesn't seem to strengthen the support that being more likely to study successful businesses -> overestimating successes of past businesses.

I chose [E] because it seemed to directly relate to the support. Just because scholar are more likely to study successful businesses doesn't mean that they're overestimating the successes of past businesses... what if they're also including setbacks that those successful businesses had along the way? [E] seems to guard against this potential weakness by saying that historical records actually don't allow historians to infer those setbacks. Why is [E] wrong?!

LR has been one of the hardest sections for me to get a solid understanding of. I went back through the CC and redid all the lessons on conditional logic and it helped immensely. Since then, I have been going back through the different question types in the order of the CC syllabus. I have printed out problem sets by question type from PTs1-35. I do try to add variety to my problem sets. For example, I'll do 10 strengthening, 10 MBT, 10 SA , 5 SA, and 5 MSS on one day. I have been doing all these problem sets untimed. I will spend as much time as needed to answer the question. Once I am 100% confident, I will go ahead and check the answer. If I get it wrong, I write out a detailed response on why I got it incorrect. I have found that my accuracy and speed have started to get better with 1,2, and 3 star questions. However, the 4 and 5 star questions take me a long time. I can spend upward of ten minutes on a single 4/5 star question. I have found that the language of the stimulus for a 4/5 question is incredibly convoluted. At this stage, should I drill 4/5 star questions? How do you get better with these harder questions? For those who have done untimed drills, at what point did you start to incorporate time? Finally, how would do you determine whether or not you're ready to drill full LR sections?

Thanks in advance!

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!

Do the law school essays change from year to year usually? I am not applying this cycle but trying to plan when to leave my job. Will I not be able to start writing my supplemental essays until September most likely? Or will this year likely serve as a good base?

Senior year of high school I took classes through a local community college for high school and college credit. Should I include this on my resume? The transcript is included in my academic summary report and it was only 18 credit hours. Also, not sure if this has an impact but after this I transferred to another community college to get my AA before transferring for my BA and I've included both of these institutions. Is a third too much? Thanks!

I have an absent and a 159 on file.

Took the August 2023 LSAT, just got a 157 and cancelled it.

I currently have the September LSAT scheduled, and I will be taking the October one too.

However, if I score worse than 159 in September, I would have to cancel it again. My file would look like absent-159-cancel-cancel

Should I take the September LSAT or should I reschedule it to October?

I believe I have until 31st 11:59pm ET to both reschedule to October and to register for October. Am I correct?

Thank you all so much.

I sent transcripts from all of the schools I've attended to LSAC a month ago. Since I got my masters degree from the same school I got undergrad, whenever I request transcripts both of my undergrad and masters degree transcripts are sent together in one PDF. But for some reason, while LSAC shows that they received my undergrad transcript, they didn't get my masters transcript yet. I'm wondering whether I should request another transcript to be sent to LSAC from my school.. I'd like to call LSAC but they seem to be busy and currently not confirming whether they got transcripts via phone call. Would really appreciate any advice on this. Thank you so much in advance!!

Hello all,

I felt pretty good about my LSAT writing. However when I got it back, I noticed two typos in the second to last paragraph (a missing "the" and a missing "an"). Is this enough of an issue that I should retake it? I definitely don't mind re-taking it, if this is something to be concerned about. I'm re-taking the LSAT anyways so I expect if I let them know, then I could apply to re-submit a writing exam.

no longer needed.

Hi! I currently PT in the mid to high 160's and I am signed up for the October LSAT. It would be cool if there was anyone who was also interested in finding a study buddy for this October LSAT where we can keep each other accountable and occasionally go through tough LSAT sections together or even just keep each other motivated throughout this month. Please lmk if you are interested, I'd love to have a study buddy :)

Hi everyone!

I'm having a hard time with parallel method of reasoning questions. I know that I have to find the method in the stimulus and find the answer choice that uses the same method. Any tips?

Thanks in advance,

Amy

Hello,,

I am trying to make sense of why I would get -14 on one section and -4 on other section of same PT..

This was from PT 75.. Has anyone experienced this score difference?

what are good ways to drill fundamentals to really get the core ideas engrained??

Hi all!

I've been having a bit of trouble with routine and structure in regards to a study schedule. I was wondering- how does your day to day look like when studying? Do you guys do 1 PT a week and X number of sections/ drills? What has worked for you/ what hasn't? What's reasonable to do in a day/ week, etc?

I just feel a little lost on how to study effectively (and not just study to say I did and waste materials). I need to build a structured routine so I can be self- disciplined and see results, and I know it varies for each person but I would appreciate any insight! TAA!

I'd like to ask for some advice on how to go through problem sets in CC "wisely".

What I'm doing now is watch JY's general explanation on q.type,

do the Qs on my own and then watch JY's explanation clips checking if I got it right or wrong,

then doing Problem Sets attached to it.

Now for Problem Sets, after checking the result, I watch the explanation clip right away, read some comments and then move on.

That's when I feel stuck. I feel like this process doesn't get me anywhere to develop advanced logical thinking to solve any questions at similar level. I've read many comments trying to articulate the reasoning on their own but I feel like sometimes I just memorize JY's argument. Should I still try to explain it on my own after(or before) watching the explanation?

Would that help me acquire or broaden my reasoning?

I'm already registered for Oct flex which will be my first exam but I haven't reached the score I'm aiming on PT.

As I took some prep classes before joining 7sage and I don't have much time left before October flex,

I was going to tackle only on q.types I'm weak in, but I changed my mind and decided to finish CC as soon as possible.

I'm so depressed now that I don't see any improvements in my PT score(avg 157) and I can see why when I go through Problem Sets.

What am I doing wrong?

Should I try to explain every answer choice while doing Problem Sets or BR before watching the explanation?

Do I have enough time for that? or would that be more effective way to score any higher?

Any advice, encouragement welcomed. :(

(Btw, my goal is to get somewhere around 170 in January)

LG was by far my worst section (-17 on cold diagnostic), and now that is at a -6. I was planning on finishing LG, but these "in-out" games seem to rely on previous lessons in LR (I assume), is it time to pivot and do LR then come back to LG?

Also, how often do these pop up? I've done 3 PTs and never had one, just seq, seq twist, and grouping.

I thought that it was irrelevant, and therefore did not "support" additionally the paleontologist's conclusion.

Admin Note: Edited title. For LR questions, please use the format: "PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of the question."

Hi everyone--just wondering if people have advice on how to improve with these problem types? I've found that I consistently underperform on these games and I'm not sure why--I think my main difficulty is maintaining all the rules and working within time, but generally I find that I get "stuck" with them more consistently than I do with grouping or regular "in/out" games. Thanks so much!

Hello, I have a recommender writing me a letter about me serving in the church and some other things, I only wanted to send this letter to Liberty University and Regent University as they are both faith based law schools, For my letter description should I put the two schools name or say "use for faith based law schools" I really want to make sure both law schools see that letter. Thanks for answering in advance

A: Hawthorne is unethical because he sold the influence to environmental interest group; there is no justification

M: Nope, he's not unethical because It's environmental interest group preventing pollution doing good to public.

Need help:

I kind of get why AC B is right but do not understand why D is wrong because how I also see the above is:

=>His gaining private benefit by selling unethical vs. His action somehow benefiting the public ethical

Can someone explain?

I may have gone the optimistic route of going through this application cycle and am not only looking for advice but have some questions

. I was one of the few (probably) that submitted applications early in hopes that it would be easier for when I focus on my LSAT. So as it may, I’ve done all my applications between September and October. I’m practically stuck with what I have already submitted and am only waiting for my LSAT. Now that I am sitting here, I wish I had waited and done some more research/review before I decided to submit my applications. I do not believe my writing documents are bad, I have quite the confidence in them, but now i’m wondering how much better they could of been if I had a professional look at all my documents together to see what I am missing, what I could strengthen or completely omit.

I know my only options are to just email them some updated documents and hope they like what I’ve given them.

But I’m curious, is it possible to withdraw applications and resubmit in the same cycle? I do not think that’s possible, and even if it is. Does it look bad if you redo your application? Do they notice that you submitted one back in september, withdrew and then resubmitted a new one??

All advice would be helpful and if it’s just simply a silly idea, don’t be afraid to let me know. Law school won’t go away, so i know if it doesn’t work out this cycle, I have next year

Has anyone thought of taking the JD Next as more schools will accept it going forward?

https://www.spiveyconsulting.com/blog-post/law-schools-accepting-jd-next-fall-2024/. Or will scholarships be more tied more to those who take the LSAT?

Is E the right answer because it is the only choice that addresses jurisdictions that have mandatory headlight usage? Thanks.
