After a retake would it be smart to spend extensive time on each sections so let’s say 2 weeks of LG timed sections,2 weeks LR timed sections, 2 weeks RC timed sections ?then wrap up before June ?

Hello,

Myself, elle.sat.woods180 and emaanc99

Are looking to add two members to our study group.

Our goal is to reach +170 scores for the 2021-2022 academic year.

The highest score I have received on the LSAT was a 167. I have scored 165 multiple times and my most recent LSAT scores have been varied from 160 to 167. I have taken approximately 80 LSAT Preptests. I only have 10 more. I took these tests in numerical order but also decided to take LSAT 89 and 88 because of their difficulty in order to prepare myself for the November/January LSAT. It did not work.

Our method of study is to pick LR/LG/RC questions/passages and blind review them. We general pick questions and passages based on their difficulty. We would spend an hour or two every weekend to meet as a group and go over the questions/passages that we selected.

Send me a direct message if you are interested in joining our group.

Thanks,

I was wondering if anyone has a list of econ and geology passages. I have a hard time parsing through these types of passages and I want to love reading them. If they have a high amount of infer/analogy questions that would be a great bonus too.

Thanks!

Edit: Jazz/blues also

First impression wise, not a bad argument, but we're looking for an AC that shows that despite the fact that broadsides had statements about morals, it doesn't mean that most 17th century people were serious about moral values.

Maybe people back then bought broadsides for other reasons unrelated to those moralizing statements. This is the loophole in our argument.

B - gives us another reason why people bought broadsides: they were drawn to the sensationalized account of crime and adultery rather than to the morals.

B shows that broadsides were also entertaining in nature, not just moralizing.

A - regardless of whether broadsides are of low or high literary quality, they were still moralizing in nature, and people still bought them, but we're still left wondering whether people bought broadsides because they cared about morals or something else.

C - gives us an irrelevant mini history lesson.

D - premise booster. Tells us what we know already, namely that broadsides were moralizing in nature, so it makes sense for the clergy to use the broadsides for moralistic purposes. But we're still left wondering whether the people actually cared about moral values or not.

E - it doesn't matter what well-educated people think or feel about broadsides but how they think about moral values. Also tells us nothing about what the remaining non-well-educated people think about morals, which means we most likely can't justify the "most" statement in the conclusion.

Are looking to add one more members to our study group. The reason you may have seen me post recently is because we are starting this study group this Sunday.

Our goal is to reach +170 scores for the 2021-2022 academic year.

Our method of study is to pick LR/LG/RC questions/passages and blind review them. We will pick questions and passages based on their difficulty. We would spend an hour or two every weekend to meet as a group and go over the questions/passages that we selected.

The most beneficial way to use a study group in my opinion is to have the members of the study group verbally present an explanation to difficult questions they answered on either their LSAT Prep Tests or had on their general study and have the other members of the group try to question the assumptions and weakness of the explanation that was provided. The actual act of trying to explain an answer will help refine our own understating of the question and the exam overall.

This is the basis that I want to have for the study group. We will improvise and adapt when necessary but I expect us to have a rigid schedule so that we can see returns for our efforts.

Send me a direct message if you are interested in joining our group.

Thanks,

Does anyone wanna be in a group chat on group me where we can blind review together and stuff?

Hey all!

My name is Rez and I'm looking for a study buddy for the June 2021 exam. I've been studying for a few months and finally seeing progress (BR 165 on the May Flex exam taken last week). My strengths include RC and LG and I'd like to improve more on LR.

I have a flexible schedule and I'd love to host a blind review session with you. If interested, please email me at: rezwan.haq@gmail.com.

Sincerely,

Rez

looking for people who want to improve on RC as much as me! We can do an RC and BR together and figure out our weaknesses and share tips on how to improve. My RC fluctuates from -5/6 to -10/12.

I need someone to study with. I am okay with in person or zoom/FaceTime meetings. This journey is something else, and I find it easier when I have someone to study with to be able to discuss this monster with. Any takers?

Hi, all. I am planning a study group to go over the most challenging questions listed on our Problem Journals. I am planning to schedule it for Sundays at 7PM - 8PM EST. I I want to start this Sunday, April 25, 2021. f you are interested, please direct message with your email address so I can send you a Zoom link.

Am currently going to through the core curriculum and seeking someone to review wrong questions with.

Hello,

I'm registered for the June Flex and probably will be registering for the August and October 21' exams as well. I work part time and have time to meet up 3 times a week. I'd like to be as consistent and as thorough as possible and try to do no less than 2 hours per meet up.

If anyone is interested, DM me and we can work out the pleasantries and details further.

Let's get'er done!!!

I work on weekends, so I am looking for people who want to BR on mondays or tuesdays? would love to start next week!

Hello All!

I've been working on my statements for the next cycle (2021-2022). I think I have a decent 2-page rough draft for a PS, but I would love to get feedback on it. I'm not that concerned about my grammar/spelling. Rather, I want to make sure that the tone and content are persuasive.

Of course, I'm totally willing to read your PS statement in return!

So if you're interested, just PM me with your email and I'll send it over (and send your PS too if you want me to look at it).

In case it matters, my stats are 3.9X and 17low.

Is it just me or PT1-20 RC are all over the place? I hold a study average of -5 on 60+ but start bombing on 1990's PT. 4th attempt any now my confidence is all over the place.

Hi all,

I've been struggling to wrap my head around this question (i'll post below). Can anyone explain this?

"It must be true that the lowest-numbered line on which" changes to "no lower than line". . . Why is it not that F can be lines 2 or 1?

It must be true that the lowest-numbered line on which

(A) F can be assembled is line 2

(B) G can be assembled is line 3

(C) J can be assembled is line 2

(D) K can be assembled is line 3

(E) M can be assembled is line 2

(A): Does it have to be true that F can be no lower than line 2? In other words, could F be 1st?

F could be lower than line 2! We have no rules stopping F from being 1st, and for completion’s sake—though you probably wouldn’t do this on Test Day—we’ll give you an example. F could be 1st, for example if the order were: FMGSJKH. Although there are several other possible scenarios in which F can be 1st, finding just one is sufficient to determine that this choice’s statement “could be false.”

Looking for clarity re: the curve on this one. From what I can gather (from PowerScore podcast), the curve for April's LSAT is much tougher than how the PrepTests here have been curved.

Am I staring down the barrel of a lower score than all of my PTs?

Hi all,

Long time discussion thread reader, first time poster. Last July, as I prepared to enter my senior year of undergrad, I began preparing to take the LSAT in November. I was on track to take the test then but was briefly derailed by several COVID-related hurdles (an all too familiar refrain). I finally took the LSAT in February and scored a 170. This is a score with which I was happy (I had a 158 cold diagnostic so I was satisfied with the increase) but felt I could improve on. Before the February test, I was consistently PTing in the 170s and was shooting for a goal score of 173. Now, I'm less than a month from graduation and am trying to strategize the best course of action moving forward. I'm about to start my first real, adult job in June (a harrowing thought) and am trying to determine whether I should juggle a prep and work schedule to get those 3 additional points (most likely in August), or if I should cleanse my hands of the LSAT and let my applications settle as they will in the fall (for reference, I'm a non-URM/non-international applicant with a 3.8 GPA. I'll most likely apply to a handful of T-14s and really have my sights set on a school like Columbia or NYU).

If anyone has wisdom to dispense, I'm all ears. Additionally, if anyone is in a similar position (currently scoring upper 160s-low 170s, shooting for mid 170+) please shoot me a message so we can work out a study group situation. Thanks all for your time and help, and happy LSATting!

Hi everyone I took the April LSAT and am cancelling my score for the June LSAT retake. I continue to struggle with RC. Trying not to get bogged down by the articles stating RC is the hardest to improve but I cannot seem to grasp how to get through at least 3 passages all correctly. What is your strategy? What is your method of attack when approaching a RC passage? What do you look for and ask yourself along the way? Appreciate any input thanks

Last PT I took was 74 and got a 165. Missed 8 in RC. Need help with RC strategy. Taking LSAT in June.

Hi everyone,

I wonder if anyone has experienced the loading errors after launching LSAT Writing in PSI secure browser. I've tried for two weeks and yet not been able to even take the ID photo. I've also tried to reset my computer and the eligibility but it remains the same.

Most unfortunately, I couldn't get in touch with the 24/7 technical support line from China. And the LASC representatives only operate during normal business hour in ET. :( Even if they do, I have to wait up to 20min to get through. The email gets no reply either. I literally has sought all possible means /sad/tired/frustrated. Since I urgently need the April score, any of your advice/experiences would be appreciated. Thank you!!

!

So I been getting like low 160s the past few tests and everything is good but when I get up to a more difficult conditional LR question, I completely struggle. How do I get better at these? I tried drilling but that didn't really help that much.

I was attempting to create my user account and I am very confused. Does anyone know how to go about the section where it says "institutions'

Prep Test 28 Section 1, #24

I am having a hell of a time trying to figure out whether the first or last sentence is the conclusion. The 1st and last sentences appear to be saying exactly the same thing, to only pay attention to intrinsic qualities of the artwork.

"What is really aesthetically relevant is not what a painting symbolizes, but what it directly presents to experience because we ought to pay attention only to the intrinsic properties of a work of art and its other, extrinsic properties are irrelevant to our aesthetic interactions with it" but...it sounds just as good to me the other way around so I'm stuck.

Could someone clear this up for me? Thanks.
