for the people who have gone through cc already/ high accumlative score::

when tackling the lessons in cc, what would be the best approach with the games provided as examples. Would it be best to:

try the questions on your own THAN watch through the explanation videos;

work through them simultaneously (doing it at the same time);

or work game one simultaneously, then for the other games in that type try the questions on your own THAN watch through the explanation videos

  • how long it may take isnt critical, willing to work for as much time necessary for an 173+ -
  • i literally just downloaded this for specifically lg and a little bit lost in regards of what method is most rewarding, i am a very visual learner, however i am severely stubborn and insist on always teaching myself material and since i was a kid in gymnastics, have a very hard time - refuse almost, i reject it - allowing others to teach me. but doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results, just like einstien said is insanity. ive already done the whole lsat trainer book, when practicing games i rarely miss more than three, but i develop extreme methodological issues when i dont know what the "correct" first step is or if its not being assigned. i have no methods for games rn besides the game board which i feel as thought i am as close as you can get in "mastering" them. even with my my time on exam day, the time i spend wondering how i should start my approach, etc, is where majority of my seconds go.

    so swallowing my pride and forcing myself to allow help, which i am doing good so far and havent ran into any rejecting but i am now stuck in a block for the past hours, bc adhd and not knowing the correct first step for a task makes me feel like im walking through cobwebs in minecraft, getting no where. without knowing the correct step to take - however i know in this instance there is no right answer and it is all your personal learning prefs but wont do trial and error without knowing it has worked for someone before - i cant start until i find out what it is, which i have been looking for myself and failed to find for the past hours. which is no surprise i have waited to finally ask for help now at 6 in the morning after searching for 5 hours, my final resort.

    i do have severe adhd if you couldnt tell from a one sentence question becoming an essay, if that is important, im open to trying literal anything.

    i would literally love nothing more if someone pls gave me any sort of guidance/suggest a plan they used/how to figure out what i should do because adhd and ocd wont let me go to sleep until i figure it out and i am so tired. thank you in advance

    In Out Games logic game

    When one of the rules are:

    if A is selected then B and C are also selected

    so A--> B and C

    if you negate(Not select) JUST ONE of B or C not both, does A also get not selected or do both B and C have to be not selected for A not to be selected? For In Out Games

    Y'all.

    I just saw someone else post this on another discussion thread, but for any testtakers today or later this week, do NOT forget to click on “Ready to Check In” before (BEFORE!!!) your 10 minute break is up. Do not wait until that timer hits '0'!!

    I'm sure everyone registered got this email from LSAC:

    --

    "Section 3 will not begin until the countdown clock expires. Test takers must click the “Ready to Check In” button before the intermission expires. Once this button is clicked, the test taker is taken to a waiting room. At this point, your proctor will resecure your testing environment so that you can go on to Section 3.

    It is absolutely critical that you return to your computer and click the “Ready to Check In” button within the allotted 10 minutes.

    If you fail to check in for Section 3 of the LSAT prior to the expiration of the 10-minute intermission, your testing session will be terminated and your score will be canceled. This cancellation will be recorded by LSAC as a Candidate Cancel and reported to any school to which you apply for admission that utilizes LSAC’s Credential Assembly Service (CAS) reports."

    I checked in at the 1'20'' left mark. And don't worry, I still had to wait until the full 10 minutes were done, and my proctor was slow to return anyways. PLUS I had another extra minute just BEFORE Section 3 was due to begin. So no one's getting jipped if you 'check in' early.

    Really confused by the extent to which we rely on diagram in this question. For PF questions, when is the case that we do not strictly follow the diagram in the stimulus? https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-44-section-2-question-22/

    STIMULUS:

    H–>/G

    ——-

    H /G (confirm one theory at the expense of the other)

    However, AC E:

    D–>/J

    ——–

    /D–>J (either or)

    If the above is true, why is AC E is still the correct AC? Or in this case, are we choosing the best AC?

    hi! (fair warning, this a question from is the genuinely tragic mirrors passage btw): for the life of me, i cannot figure out why c is the right choice for this one. i think it's largely because i literally just don't understand what the answer choice means. like genuinely sentence/word-wise i have no friggin clue.

    on a theoretical level, i get that the idea of "separating observers from scientific phenomenon" as it's discussed in the text + how this informs the tendency of scientists to prefer certain explanations for phenomena. but i don't understand how that idea is conveyed by the words of answer choice c. answer c reads: "One explanation of what mirrors do reveals the traditional tendency of physicists to separate a phenomenon to be explained from the observer of a phenomenon."

    i've been racking my head trying to parse the bolded part word-by-word but i genuinely can't figure it out. isn't the point the text is making that science ppl prefer explanations that don't rely on the observer? how does "separating a phenomenon •••to be explained••• from the observer of a phenomenon" do that?? if someone could even just help break down what this part means that would be useful lol. ty in advance (3(/p)

    I've watched JY's explanation and the only other forum post regarding this question, but I'm still not sure why my reasoning for B is incorrect.

    I understand the diagramming to be:

    P: know a lot about history —> easy to impress intellectuals

    C: /(know a lot about history) —> /(easy to impress intellectuals)

    I also understand this to be a case of:

    Invalid Argument Structure

    A —> B

    ———

    /A —> /B

    What doesn't make sense to me is I chose B though because I'm thinking it's possible

    (you could know a lot about history ---> /(easy to impress intellectuals)) or (A --> /B). I'm not sure if my reasoning is correct and it's just not appropriate in this situation because it fails step 2 of the flaw test or if something else about it is flat-out incorrect. Any feedback is appreciated. Thank you.

    PrepTest 94:

    I'm confused on how this was the correct answer choice (B) because Zobel's claim that Peterson’s analytic concepts are wrong and should be rejected was established, as he directly stated that in the first sentence. What makes a claim "established"?

    got into law school and when i got hired at firm 6 months ago and they asked i said i’d be applying in the next few years or haven’t thought about it besides speculating yet and want experience first. when i put in my notice how do i do it without completely tarnishing their view of me or without screwing them over? was advised to do this because everyone is replaceable and should look out for my own interests first and not have to disclose everything until timing is right, part of me feels unethical to lie and or to be honest about going to law school. also know that the bar contacts every place of employment. Pls no passive or unhelpful comments, clearly i am overthinking this and so sorry for the jumble but really need concrete advice and help as to what to do.

    Sometimes when I load a new lesson in the syllabus, the video playback controls like video speed do not show, just the time and play button. If I refresh, sometimes it shows up. But does anyone know why this is or how I can fix it?

    Hello everyone. I have been studying here for the last few months. I plan on taking the lsat in 2024. However, I have realized that if you want to take the test remotely, you cannot do so on a Chromebook. Even if you want to take the test at an in person center, the lsat writing portion still has to be done remotely, and Chromebooks are still not allowed for that.

    I have found some old posts online saying that if you request an accommodation, they will send you a test-appropriate device which you later return. However, these posts are all several years old, and I am not sure if they still do this. I can find very little about this online, and I wasn't sure where else to reach out but here. If anyone has some relevant knowledge/experience, I would greatly appreciate it.

    I just signed up to 7Sage today. I have previously written 4 PTs and wish to just plug in my scores so I can add those to the analytics. However, when I try it thinks I want to take those PTs digitally. I was actually able to plug in 2 of the PTs in with the free version but now I am not able to do that with the other 2.

    Thoughts?

    Hello. I wanted to see if there were people who set aside a few months of their life to fully dedicate weeks just for this test. I graduated from college 2 months ago and have been studying for this test full-time and wanted to know if there were others doing so as well. I believe we could make a Zoom call where we study for 3-7 hours a day and keep each other motivated and prevent burnout.

    Let me know if interested!

    Hello, I am still in the middle of the CC and looking to take my LSAT prior to Aug 2024. With that being said, I just finished the CC on LR. Should I start taking some sections of LR to see where I am specifically weak and then to master this section before moving on, or should I just move on through to LG now?

    reviewing PT

    So, when I am reviewing my answers on a PT, and 9/10 of the answers I get correct say that "__ selected this, with an average score of 165", what does that mean? Should I be getting around that score?

    RC setup time

    Do most people actually finish reading and annotating the passage in the setup time described? For some of them the time is under 2 minutes and that just seems unrealistic for the vast majority.
