I have been reviewing LGs and I am over thinking this I think...

You know how sometimes we split out game boards and make as many inferences at the beginning as we can?

When CAN you use those boards to answer questions, and when can you NOT use them (i.e., you would need to draw a new board)?

I am confused b/c sometimes I split out game boards, and the question reads something like "If J is in 4 then where must H be?", so then I look through my boards and find one where J is in 4 to see where H must go. But then sometimes I get those wrong... Because I did not create a new game board for the question...

I'm doing V1 curriculum. I have 70 hours left of lessons (in logic games and RC). I started with 147. I just found I got 149 after doing most of the curriculum. WTF. I didn't do blind review (I will go back and do) because I wanted to see if I should write in November. What am I doing wrong. Please help I"m bummed. I've been working on this since June. Thanks.

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!

PrepTest A - Section 4 - Question 11

I chose B, wrong choice, we know about the climate in a location depends on the altitude, but we can infer from the stimulus that the locations at different altitudes, so thats not the flaw. I can see why answer C is correct, cause it overlooks the possibility of other characteristics rather then the shape or the size of the leaves that depends on the climate

Withdrawn course as WC

Hi, I'm considering dropping a class which would go on my transcript as a WC. This is considered non punitive by my university but I don't know that LSAC has this listed as an option. If they were to get this incorrect and lower my GPA, would I have any recourse? Also would a withdrawn course impact my chances at getting merit aid? Thanks.

I have a quick question about drilling specific game types. I have finished the lessons on pure sequencing and am about to move onto Sequencing games with a twist. In the videos explaining the sequencing problem sets, J.Y says to practice practice practice. I have done so and have finished each game down to an average of 6 or 7 minutes (in the problem sets) but there are sometimes where I forget the inferences that have been made and it takes me longer sometimes. Should I just focus on drilling sequencing before moving onto sequencing games with a twist? Or complete the sequencing games with a twist and then practice at the end both types of sequencing games (pure and twist)? Any help would be appreciated!

Context: I plan on taking the April 2024 LSAT so I feel I would have enough time to just focus alone but I would love to hear other perspectives!

Hey everyone!

LSAC has provided updates on the changes they're making to the October 2023 LSAT schedules that will begin on September 26 with staggered scheduling windows.

"Center-Only" schedules will take place on September 26 and 27, where only testers who want to test in a test center are able to select their time on a staggered schedule based on the testing date they want. Remote scheduling will not be available on these two dates.

"Remote-Only" schedules will be on September 28 and 29, where only testers who wish to test remotely will be able to select their time on a staggered schedule based on the testing date they want. During these two days, scheduling for in-person LSAT testing will not be available.

Any changes to appointments can be made starting on September 30. On this day, test takers who either could not schedule or wish to alter their existing appointment will have the ability to do so for all testing modalities and dates.

PrepTest B - Section 1 - Question 01

I'm overall just confused about this question. Option A paraphrases the first sentence so why was the answer E

PT13.S4.Q08 - Emerging Info Tech

In Oscar's argument, he mentions "..and thus a country's economic well-being will not be a function of its geographical position..."

What the hell is "function of geographical position"? I have no idea what this means.

Does being northern or southern itself implicates any function? or does "economic well-being" serves as a function?

I get the idea that generally north is rich and south is poor as presupposed in the stimuli but simply don't understand that phrase.

Can somebody help?

September Retake Score Date

I took the September retake option due to technical difficulties. Does anyone know if we get our scores with the regular September test takers, or is it delayed?

Many test companies advocate an active reading approach to RC. I think it's helpful. However, under timed conditions, it's generally difficult to juggle all the info packed into a RC passage. There's not much time to re-read the passage. So, you have to be able to "follow the logic" of the passage in one reading, then attack the questions. I have found this approach very helpful, and very time efficient.

174 August LSAT!

After a disappointing 2022-23 cycle, I decided to retake the LSAT one more time. I scored a 172 in June 22. Although it's only a 2 point increase, I'm really happy and looking forward to applying.

Gotta thank @Mike_Ross for not only his tutoring help but his words of encouragement when I was so down. To anyone thinking of retaking, I know it's hell but it's worth it!

I'm going through some of the core curriculum after doing a comprehensive study book with Kaplan, and I'm doing some drills now. Would you suggest I hold myself to time constraints during those drills? For example, I just completed a 5 question drill set with a pretty difficult question (5 stars) that I ended up getting correct, but it took me 5 minutes when the suggested time was 1:33. I know there's BR too, I'm just not sure if it is worth it to do timed practice right now.

Basically title. I am at a point where I can finish each LR section with about 10-15 minutes still on the clock which gives me enough time to go through all the questions I flagged and review the latter half of the questions even if I didn't flag them. In this case, should I still be blind reviewing? If the point of the BR is to become confident on questions I didn't get to fully because of time, then it seems like it wouldn't be necessary? Feels odd to not BR but I don't find myself changing my answers if I BR those sections.
