Hi Guys,

I am currently at the exact 50% mark of the core curriculum, which is right in the middle of the NA problem sets, and I have a test date booked for August. I am wondering if it is most beneficial to finish the core curriculum before starting PTs (I have only done one full test, the diagnostic, thus far). Thanks for your opinion!

I scored a 158 on my August LSAT. It was about what I was scoring at the time I honestly expected to score worse, but I am aiming to score in the low 160's by October. Is it possible to increase by at least 5 points by October? I'm trying to figure out a better study schedule for the month that is not so grueling, I studied 6 days a week about 7 hours from June to August. Any helpful advice or tips would be lovely.

I chose C but I can see why it is A now. The premise is that there are these two cars which have different uses and weights. And we also learn that lighter cars are more fuel efficient. Therefore when the conclusion says "Since most automobile traffic is local... net saving in fuel blah blah blah. We need to fill the gap of "so most people must be using the lighter car when driving downtown. Therefore for A, which tells us that most families that drive long distances have two cars, that is the assumption we need which is that even people who have cars that drive long distances also have downtown lighter cars for local traffic.

Hi everyone,

I am currently scoring around 170s in the PTs. I am looking to gain some offline teaching experience for me to better understand the material myself. I am wondering if anyone would want a free tutoring at a meeting room in Gangnam (TOZ Study Cafe). I teach 100% in English and am a current international school teacher. Please send me an inbox DM!

Unfortunately, i don't understand this weak question at all, or why the answer is C. C seems to link excessive blinking to confidence, which is a factor in an official's ability to conduct well in office, but i don't see how it affects the overall conclusion: any impact of excessive blinking is deleterious to election results. The author doesn't make a clear connection between someone's ability to perform in the office and his ability to perform in the election. i chose A instead, which linked the candidate's debate performance to his election performance. Can someone explain this to me? As a side note, i seem to notice with more recent tests that the earlier LR questions are a lot harder than older tests -- i rarely had wrong answers before problem 12. is there a reason for this increased difficulty in the early questions?

Prep Test 17 Section 4 Passage 3 #16

Could someone help me with why D is not the correct answer?

In the second paragraph, it gives the stats for carbon taxes and says "It should be noted, however, that these numbers ignore the effect of the tax on economic growth, and hence on emissions". Doesn't that imply that the taxes need to account for the effect on economic growth, and are thus influenced by it and would vary based on the effect that the tax would have on a country's economy (D)?

On the above mentioned section it mentions how many seats two different kids can sit in. By my reasoning Frank can only sit in seats 1 or 3 and Ruby can only sit in seats 2 or 4 so my answer was (B) Two. It says the correct answer is (C) Three. How is it three not two?

Hi,

Is there a way to make drills based off of questions you got wrong in previous drills? I only saw the option to compile questions you got wrong during previous practice tests, not drills themselves.

Thanks.

Hey Everyone!

LSAC has provided updates on the following:

◉Limits on Repeating the LSAT

LSAC has introduced a new test-taking limit policy starting in August 2023. This change, however, will only impact a small group—less than 1% of all LSAT takers. Under this new policy, you can take the LSAT five times in the current score reporting period (i.e., since June 2018) and up to seven times over a lifetime.

For more details, you can visit the LSAC page here: Limits on Repeating the Test

◉LSAT Test Taking Schedule

As you may know, there were difficulties with remote proctoring during the first weekend of the August LSAT. To make up for it, LSAC added an extra testing day for the September LSAT. They've also introduced two additional testing dates each for both October and November this year. These additions won't impact the score release.

For more details, you can visit the LSAC page here: Upcoming LSAT Dates

[I am posting on behalf of a 7Sage user. Please feel free to leave your comments below. Thank you for your help!]

"In the Introduction to Logic lessons, J.Y. talks about how All Jedis use the Force, and J is in a small circle (sufficient) within the domain of the F (necessary).

But in Advanced Logic, he talks about how A->(B->C) = A and B ->C = A is “kicked up” and B->C happens in A’s domain.

But how come the domain in the first Jedi example is the necessary clause? But then the domain is the sufficient clause in the Advanced Logic example?"

I'm really thrown by this one. My thought process: a country with a stable economy is less likely to experience inflation or deflation. That is the assumption the author relies on. I thought (A) best reflected that, but the answer choice is (C), which I am struggling to understand. Why is the production of goods or services (which inflation/deflation depends on according to the author) specifically apart of the assumption?

PLEASE HELP

Hey guys, i'm wondering how people are planning on balancing their LSAT studying with prepping for applications. For context, I took the June test and got a 160, im hoping to take again in October to boost that as much as possible then have my application done in early November. Alot of things ive read and heard say not to wait until after your score to start apps cause they tend to take longer than you think to get through. Also, I am working full time so I really need to plan a course of action to not over commit myself. Any advice on how yall are metering your application essays while still grinding for the LSAT?
