I honestly didn't see the flaw when I first did this question and am wondering how people who did see the issue manage to go about solving these questions.

Are these two questions basically twins? Or are they different? If they are different, how are they different? I honestly got them mixed up and got both incorrect and I think a large part of it was because of my pre-phase. My pre-phase going in was just all because you have an imperfect correlation doesn't mean there is NO causal relationship. For the question in PT 62, I narrowed it down to A and B and was unable to tell the two answers apart.

I also watched the video explanations for these so there's no need to put the links here, admin!

HI! I’m looking for a study buddy who is -4 on RC/LR and -0/-1 on LG and looking to take the test in Oct/Nov (I can’t give scores because I haven’t take a full test in a while!!). I’m pretty far along in my studying, have already taken the test once, and am being tutored. Just looking for someone to study/be accountable with. Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I'm taking the LSAT on the 12th and I made a routine for myself and I can see why it can help get me in a more reflexive mindset for the day of the test and minimize anxiety. But I was wondering what I should do in terms of LSAT specific work. Should I put in an hour or two at the time that I'll be taking the test each day leading up? I've done about 50 PTs over the past 2.5 months so this would be a significant cutback and I think it might be a good strategy, but I've also heard people say take a few days off each day which I could also see being helpful because I do feel fresher after a couple day break. I'm thinking I might do a couple hours per day for the next 2-3 days, a day off, maybe 1-2 hours for the next 2 days, 2 days off, and then an hour each day the 2 days before the test. Any thoughts on that plan? I've also cut out alcohol and made sure my schedule has meditation and exercise built in which I think will help me. Thanks so much!

I took the October LSAT and scored about 5 points lower than my PT's. I know I can get into a law school with the score I received and my high GPA however, I've decided to take the test again in January. Any advice? I struggle the most with logic games and I become frustrated because I feel like it will never click for me. How should I go about studying this time around? Do I go through the curriculum all over again? I'm feeling super discouraged. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Citizen's Sufficient Condition: Interest in helping the economy

Citizen's Necessary Condition: Building a business park

That is to say, if one has an interest in helping the economy it is a given that they would build a business park; if they do not build a business park then there is no way they have an interest in helping the economy.

Question is NA, focus on the above necessary condition when looking at answer choices - If she did not believe that building a business park would help the economy, then fail necessary -> fail sufficient implies she has no interest in helping the economy, which disagrees with the assumption that she does not believe that the business park would help.

In other words, if she does not believe a business park would help she could still be acting in the economy's best interest by doing what she believes would help. This is why it is required for the citizens to assume she knows that building a business park is better than the highway.

Hey all -

Took the june flex and got a 169 - I'm trying to get into legal academia (PhD in history) so i can only apply top tier essentially, which I'm seeing a 169 does not cut it for. For those who took the test a second time and improved 3-4 points, do you have any tips to make studying more effective? I was PT'ing between 172-178 before the test - the last month before scores declined due to nerves/burnout. Not sure how to avoid this with re-test, and REALLY don't want to devote my life to this cursed test again for nothing. Any help very much appreciated

Looking for Similar Logic Games to Practice that are hybrid type with a ton of variables kinda like PT 5 Game 4 or PT 89 Game 4. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

How are you guys approaching RC when doing low res? Since LSAT is digital, you can't write in the margins of the passage. Should we just commit to memory the low res of each paragraph? Or are we supposed to write them down on scratch paper?

Very interesting question. Chose C like a moron cuz I was thinking hmmm how would irritation in the lungs and pollen has anything to do with death? No way people die to pollen allergy?

AC A is the correct one. The fact that population increased does not mean anything to the argument. I can't even identify the trap here and my theories are that first, it is trying to trick the taker by hinting at that the death rate rose was just due to the population increase instead of the inhaler. But death rate has already taken into account of total population, so if death rate rose, the total urban population doesn't matter: it simply means that the percentage of ppl within a given population dying to asthma has increased. My second theory is that the test writers want to make test takers mistaken "population" as "pollution," but idk.

AC B is a direct reference to the part where the question stem mentions that the ability to count asthma patients has not improved. AC B bolsters that part of the argument, making it more likely that there is something else other than the increased accuracy of data collection.

If I take a timed section of the LSAT and I don't get to all the questions, how do I perform the Blind Review method on the remaining questions? Do I time myself for the remaining questions? Or do I just approach each of the remaining questions one by one without regards to time (and not review it twice as we would normally do in Blind Review)?

Hi all,

7Sage and other sources have UPenn down as doing ED interviews; however, all the questions are for 2018-19 (I read somewhere that 18-19 was the first year for these interviews). Anyone know if UPenn has done such interviews in more recent cycles?

Guys should I cancel my score if it is below 150 and I’m planning to take it in September and hopefully improve by then since I’ll have the whole summer to practice more and more?

Is any one here getting an "upload speed" issue ? It says that my upload speed is bellow minimum requirement. The issue appears randomly for a few minutes. Any idea what's going on ? I know we can't write the test if we don't meet the speed requirement.

Hello, I posted a comment on someone's previous post on this question, but because it was from 3 months ago, I wanted to bump with my own post.

I got the answer correct, and I can explain why I thought C was correct, but I couldn't fully prove why A was incorrect. I could eliminate B, D, and E, because the stimulus does not mention what conditions would determine whether someone deserves praise or is worthy of it. The stimulus only mentions whether which treatment is more worthy.

In regards to C) Only what is subject to a person's choice should be used in measuring the praiseworthiness of that person, the stimulus mentions that a person cannot choose to have feelings. Therefore, the ethicist's argument that one's treatment is more worthy of praise if it is at least partially motivated by feelings of compassion means they did not have choice in the matter of having those feelings. So C cannot be true.

For A, the reason why I personally did not choose this answer, is because the stimulus states that treatment that is entirely motivated by cold and dispassionate concern for moral obligation is less worthy of praise- I was unsure if 'cold and dispassionate concern' could still be categorized as feelings, even if it is slightly described as lack thereof. Still, I couldn't completely eliminate this answer.

I'm not sure if my reasoning is correct- could someone confirm? Thank you so much!

Hi everyone,

If anyone needs help/advice with those personal statements, you can just message me in my inbox!

There is a concept from the first few lessons of MSS that I cannot find. It goes like this: "As one thing occurs, in any direction, another thing occurs in that same direction as a result" For example, if the temperature of a large body of water to a depth of 60 meters rises, so will the chance of a strong storm in that area rise. What is this concept called for the LSAT? Is it universal to all question types? Thank you in advance

Hello!

Was curious what people's daily goals of studying are when going through the Core Curriculum when you have a full day of studying planned?

For me, that's usually the weekend since I work on the week days, I'm curious what your study goals are when you have the full day to study? I'm just curious to see if I'm taking it too easy on myself when going through the Core Curriculum on the weekends. I know everyone studies/goes through the Core Curriculum at different paces but I'm just curious.

Usually, my goal is to get through 5 Practice Sets (Still going through LR question types) and then blind review them. And then usually this accompanied by something else like watching JY's videos on an example question type or other video types. Is this taking it too light?

I have been taking practice tests for months on an external monitor with my small laptop completely closed. I was told by my proctor that I could not use an external monitor if I was using a laptop no matter if it was closed or not. I called up LSAC while in chat with the proctor and was told the same thing. This killed me, I was super calm before the test but rearranging my workspace and how I interacted with the test was brutal.

I based my assumption that I could use ONE monitor based on https://support.proctoru.com/hc/en-us/articles/360035300212-Multiple-Monitors-Displays page, which is linked from LSAC's website. It says:

"Multiple monitors/displays are not supported. If you have more than one monitor, you will need to disconnect all but one."

Has anyone else run into this problem? Is my interpretation of what I read incorrect? Was anyone else able to use an external monitor for their closed laptops?

Here is an example of ProctorU saying it is allowed! https://www.reddit.com/r/LSAT/comments/j0cvmu/lsatflex_laptop_and_external_monitor/g6yhvex/

Do you think I have standing to complain to LSAC?

Edit: I forgot to mention that I did a equipment check with ProctorU on Friday and was told everything was fine.

Hi everyone,

My reading comp score has been the same for a while now. It won't go up or down it just stays the same. Can someone recommend some helpful tips on how to be more successful with reading comp? Perhaps there are certain strategies I can implement from the reasoning section in order to help me eliminate wrong answers in reading comp? Please advise! Thank you as always for all your help!

I see that the conclusion is based on a resolve the paradox.

But I find that unfair for a MC question because resolving something does not make it the conclusion of a paragraph.

Example:

If I make a paragraph on what really went down on Roswell, the point is asking all the crazy thing. The main summary would be “something weird happened that caused people to look into”.

If I give explanations (aliens, CIA, time travelers, big foot) that doesn’t justify it to say that’s the conclusion. I would say “ummm no, this just means reasons for what is it”. Reasons for what? The mystery (HENCE THE CONCLUSION)

Are resolving paradox's conclusions now for modern LSAT?

Hello! I'm currently working on my weak points of the LSAT and I am Drilling Single/Comparative passages. In anyone's experience with taking the LSAT already, how many passages would you recommend drilling per day? I am doing about 6-7 but i am not sure if that's too much. Any information would be appreciated!

Can anyone please help explain this question? very confused..

My thought:

C and S are required to leave their respective stations immediately to pursue any prisoner who attempts to escape.

prisoner escape --> leave

unless they are pursuing such a prisoner, C and S are forbidden to leave until their replacements have arrived.

leave --> replacement arrived or pursue prisoner ??? is that correct?

On 9-11pm, when they finished shifts and replacement arrived, it was discovered that C had violated these rules and S has not.

Pick could be true except:

A prisoner attempted to escape at 7pm, neither C or S left his or her station before 9pm.

Why is this the correct answer?

All the answer choices don't really make any sense to me. Not sure how to apply because the one person violate the other one did not situation completely threw me off...

Please help! Thank you!!!!

I never really fully understood what understanding how to approach the question means could someone clarify this for me?

Hello! Would anyone want to swap their essay with me? I would love your feedback on my supplemental essay!

For #2, we can affirm from the first paragraph that MLK was influenced by at least one work from a transcendentalist, namely MLK was influenced by David Thoreau's essay "Civil Disobedience"; the correct answer choice says as much and yet the correct answer for #7 states MLK was not at all affected by transcendentalist thought. But you can't be influenced by a transcendentalist essay (and presumably by the ideas in said essay) and then turn around and say you actually weren't impacted by transcendentalist thought. And both were talking about civil disobedience too. Isn't that a contradiction in the passage/video explanation? I was under the impression that MLK was influenced by transcendentalists, just not as much as writers previously thought.

As for answer choice C, are morality and ethics the same thing on the LSAT?
