Could anyone explain why the answer for this question is A instead of E? Should we gave gleaned from the stimulus that the fungi turned the logs to dead and decaying rather than them already being in that state beforehand?

Does anyone know if LSAT flex will have a curve when scoring?

Should I be taking practice tests as I complete the modules? I feel like going 6 weeks without taking a practice test is really long.

I started studying for the LSAT a couple weeks ago. I first used Khan Academy, then started using the Kaplan book, and after a couple recommendations from friends, have made it to 7sage. I am planning to take the LSAT in the October administration giving 10-11 more weeks of studying.

I'm trying to make sense of the difference in allotted study time between Kaplan and 7sage. Kaplan seemed to think it was perfectly reasonable to spend 2-3 months studying and hit your goal with 15-20 hours per week. 7sage prescribes as much as a year! Right now, the study calendar is prescribing me 40+ hours per week. Can someone explain why there's such a big difference between Kaplan and 7sage? Will I be okay taking the LSAT in October? How can I adjust the tools 7sage offers?

I'm curious if folks have thoughts on how many overconfidence errors is too many on a PT? Is 0 a realistic goal? Should I be ok with having a small amount on any given test? At what point should I be worried about making too many overconfidence errors?

I am in the Middle East, and I am trying to figure out if there will be a test dates between April and October.

I am having this issue because I think I wont be ready by April, and I want to keep the October test date open for a retake if I need it.

Thank you in advance :)

I am still 145-150 range and I want to get a 170 for November lsat. is it possible can you give me some studying tips and strategies for logical reasoning and reading comprehension. I feel like its not hard but sometimes I come down to 2 answers and choose the wrong one and be like shit.

Basically what the title says. Due to the nature of the environment I study in and I would prefer to read a written explanation for wrong answers. Is this an option on 7S? I know it is on other platforms but for some reason I cannot find a written explanation for answers on here.

TIA!

Because of all of the problems with the remote August LSAT, should I consider switching to in-person for the September exam? Has LSAC committed to solving the issues that came up? I would just switch to in-person, but I'm worried a change in setting will have a significant impact on my score. I've been taking my practice exams in relatively the exact setting I will take my real exam in, and I was really counting on that helping out with my "test day penalty". What is everyone else doing?

Hello guys,

Im a bit confused about the difference between these two types of grouping games. For repeating item type games, it's often really helpful to make a chart, but for int games the explanation videos almost never include making a chart. How can you tell these game types apart? Whats the different between interchangeable items and repeating items, and how can you tell quickly if a chart a good idea or not?

Thanks!

Hey guys, I assume October will still be flex and I generally do my PT's on a tablet but am now trying to do them on a computer to practice for flex. the only issue I have is that I can't highlight using the lsat prep plus website on the computer. how should I prepare?

Re-posting this in a more organized manner so everything is in one place. Here is some context.

Last attempt for this cycle.

150 -> 155 -> 159.

I need a 161 at least to be at the median for my dream school. 2 more points.

Of course most of us feel less pressure / whole different dynamic practice test vs. real thing, but I was scoring 163 - 167 for the last 10 tests I took prior to the October LSAT. Not sure if my brain freezes or what. My average was 164 so I was expecting a 160 at least.

Please help, how can I get these two extra points? What would you do in my shoes?I guess Im asking if i retake all the ones i took and start from scratch 7sage? or focus more on review? obviously with the performance anxiety of it being real doesnt help me but instead is a deterrent, i need this to feel as "fake" and relaxed and possible. what do i do study method wise? Im willing to put in the work next month but dont know what to do study method wise.

Any help or insight would be much appreciated. thank you in advance

Hi folks,

I just finished the foundational course. For some of the lessons, I took it very seriously and tried to master it but then I went a bit faster and was not matriculate so I think I still need to master it or come back to it. Should I move onto the LR lessons and come back to the foundational course later or when I need to? or should I try to revise and nail it down before moving to LR.

Thanks!

Thank you for the help in advance :)

I’m planning to apply this cycle.

I’m currently doing 3-months internship at NGO startup and it ends this month!

Since I was a postgraduate student, it’s quite easy to be hired as a staff member at a college…

But I worry if this will make my resume weak.

🔢 I'm currently scoring: High 150s low 160s

📆 My planned test date: Unplanned, hoping to study until I feel ready. Aiming for spring of 2024

📈 To study, I have been: I've finished the CC and have been drilling and PTing, hoping to improve my studying with group members

🔑 My goals for this group are: To hold each other accountable and to take opportunities learning and teaching one another

🔍 We'll focus on: All sections, heavier emphasis on LR and RC

📚 When we'll meet and what we'll do: Hoping to determine the best times once I get a group together. I work a 9-5 and am hoping to be able to accommodate a study schedule off of that.

✅ How to join: Message me through here!

Would someone with experience be willing to review my PTs with me to help strategize where I should focus moving forward? I'm planning on taking the test in January and February.

I currently have two transcripts on LSAC because I transferred universities after my second year of bachelors.

Am also an international applicant as well, so after CAS' credit evaluation I have a transript from my previous uni (never completed due to transfer) that says, 'Above Average'. This is listed under 'post-secondary institution'.

The other transcript from my current uni (where I will be getting my diploma) is 'Superior', and listed as 'Bachelor-Equivalent institution'.

I did two years from each universities as my credits were transferred to my current university's bachelor program. The transferred credits did not get converted course by course, and didn't count towards my total GPA-which required me to send two transcripts. Also LSAC requires transcripts from ALL institutions..

Does anyone have any idea how admissions work in this case? Do schools/LSAC take both transcripts into account or only the one that you get the diploma from? Tried emailing LSAC to ask about this but they sent me a completely unrelated answer and ignored my follow-up :(

Gosh, this question is crazy hard...

Can anyone explain how the author is "impugning" the motives of Roehmer in the last sentence? It really doesn't look like the author is questioning/attacking Roehmer's motives at all-- the author is just saying that Roehmer is doing it for her supporters

Thanks!

Best regards

A year ago (last may), I graduated from undergrad, and at the time, I thought I was going to be applying for law school the upcoming fall. Since then, I've decided to take a gap year to work, study for the LSAT, and get my law school applications together. Shortly after graduating, I reached out to one of my supervisor from undergrad about writing me a letter of recommendation and uploading it to LSAC. It's been about a year now and I am officially getting ready to apply for applications come this fall. Should I reach back out to my recommender about updating the letter. Maybe changing the date it was drafting and adding any additional information about what I've been doing over the past year, or just leave it as is? Does it really matter to admissions?

I'm registered for August and October and realized my home environment is too unstable (and noisy). I know LSAC will pay for a hotel room. Just wondering how it works? I understand there is a $115 limit? Do you pay for it and get reimbursed?

So I am registered for the August lsat and currently averaging 157/158. I was previously scoring 160 highest being 162 before coming across the more difficult lr on pt 80s and 90s.

I am wondering if I should push my test to sept or if you guys think it is possible to increase my score to 162 range by August test.

Anyone living in midtown nyc area looking to be study buddies? I finally broke 160 and I'm taking on a bold ambitious goal to hit the 170 mark for the November test

Hi guys,

I have a question on the difference between question stem types that ask for "which of the following most closely conforms to one of the principles" vs. "which of the following, if valid, most justifies the argument?"

I'm specifically looking at PT 58.1.23, which is a conform to principle type question. The right answer is C), which is "social concerns should sometimes take precedence over economic efficiency."

Now, I know that in a PSA type question, the "sometimes" in the answer choice would make the answer choice way too weak to be make the argument valid. But is it acceptable to have a "weaker" answer choice for Conform to Principle type questions?

Hi, I did some problem sets and this was one of the questions that I got wrong: PrepTest B - Section 1 - Question 14 (regarding the artists and subsidy)

Could anyone explain to me why the answer is C?? My weakness is pseudo assumption and I've read this question multiple times, but I still don't get it haha.

Hey everyone! I took the June LSAT-Flex and got my score a while ago, but the in the "LSAT Documents" section of my LSAC account the document icons are still green, as opposed to grey. I realize Flex tests will not be disclosed, but my last LSAT (Feb 2020 in person) was also undisclosed and the document icons still turned grey after scores came out.

Has anyone been in touch with LSAC about why this is happening? I can't seem to get them on the phone, and I want to make sure that new LSAT-Flex score will get reported to schools.
