I swear everytime I improve in LR I get worse in RC. This keeps my overall score constantly in the same 3 or 4 point window. And when I do good in RC, my LR gets bad. All the while, my LG always stays the same.... Is this stamina related or are the tests made that if one section is easy, another is made harder?

For reference, by LG is always between -5 and -9 but my LR and RC always switch places with which one is -7 and which one is -17.

So I’m about to go into my last year in undergraduate and taking my LSAT in September. I have been planning to go straight into law school (fall 2024) for multiple reasons. 1) If I take a gap year, I feel like I would lose motivation to go back to school. 2) I have the funds necessary to go to law school. 3) I have an idea of what type of law i’m interested in.

Now my question is, even with all of these reasons, is it still advised to take a gap year? I’ve heard a lot about needing it to build up a resume and have more experience in law. I’m just not sure whether this outweighs my reasons. What do you guys think?

Confused on how questions work -- I've done two drills now where I think I select an answer (the circle is blue) but only my first answer out of all of them is counted, while the rest are N/A.

I am having the hardest time understanding how E is the answer to this one. It was an answer I dismissed outright because I didn't see what the healthcare had to do with the murder rate. Perhaps the question was phrased weird, but I can't figure how to work it in my brain. Any advice?

can someone explain why it a and not c?

If someone could explain their reasoning behind how they reached the correct answer to this question it would be much appreciated.

Suppose we had a rule 6 situation where B goes to A and C goes to A, but B also goes to D and E goes to C. What happens if there are other pieces in the chain (for example, the D and E) when you take the contrapositive of the rule 6 group (A, B, C)? Do you also take the contrapositive of those? Like basically taking the contrapositive of the whole entire thing?

What does "presuppose" ACTUALLY mean in an AP question's answer choice?

I understand that presupposing something is similar to assuming something. But I still keep messing up on AP questions where the answer choices include the word "presuppose." I trick myself into believing that the argument has presupposed something!

For example, PT27.S2.Q17 (the "A Stable Society" question), I picked E :'(

Does anybody have any examples of when an argument really did presuppose something? Are answer choices in AP questions that mention "presupposing" always wrong?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi! This may have already been answered, but I could not find it.....

Do you have to purchase lawhub? It is asking me to renew my subscription but I am not sure if its necessary? I know it allows me to practice what my test day will be like but seems like a waste since I have access to PTs through 7sage.

Thanks!

During my senior year in undergrad, I was reported for academic dishonesty (plagiarism). I previously had a class with the professor that reported me and I got an A in his class, which is why I was surprised that he thought I plagiarized. The professor said it was a minor case of plagiarism because I did not paraphrase adequately in certain parts of my final essay. I met with the dean and I ultimately admitted to plagiarism and I got a deferred suspension (which is just fancy language for a warning). The dean said that I had to attend an avoiding plagiarism workshop before graduation so that's what I did. I asked the dean if something like this would appear on my transcript and she said that UCLA (the uni I attended) does not make a notation on the transcript but it holds a separate records that are confidential. She said the records would not be released to law schools without their request and my authorization. I ultimately got an A- in that class.

So what should I do? Does attending a workshop like this count as disciplinary action? Is a warning all that bad? And will law schools see that something like this happened through the LSAC CAS report?

MMS question

I got this one wrong twice, the first time I picked D, this is not supported because we don.t know anything about the algae, only that they are the food source of the mussels, so we cannot infer anything else. In Blind review I choose C, also wrong answer, cause we don't know if there is any mechanical means available for cleaning the pipe.

This is a weakening question type. The argument is stating that Bruno must have been a spy, the premise says that the spy was the only clergyman working at the embassy at that time. The assumption to make the argument week must be A, cause its stating that Bruno was no longer a clergyman once he started working at the embassy.

When I do Necessary Assumption Question, I prefer to negate the Answer Choice and then test whether the argument becomes invalid. But this question confused me. Can anybody help me explain the question by negating and testing?

Is the experimental section always the one that shows up twice? Like if RC shows up twice its ONE of the TWO RCs thats the experimental? Or can your score be based on an LR and 2 RCs?

Can anybody explain E? If I negate AC(E), why the argument becomes invalid?

🔢 I'm currently scoring: 155. 162 after blind review

📆 My planned test date: September/October

📈 To study, I have been: I just finished the core curriculum. I want to do a section or PT and review with a group.

🔑 My goals for this group are: To hold each other accountable and learn new ways of thinking that could help me improve my score.

🔍 We'll focus on: Logic games mainly but I was thinking of maybe alternating sections every week and discussing any questions we have from all sections.

📚 When we'll meet and what we'll do: I am looking for people that can meet at least one weekday per week after 7PM PST. We can decide the exact date/time later.

when JY says to print "ten clean copies" of games in order to memorize the inferences of games, which games is he talking about? just the games featured in the videos in the LG core curriculum? or is he talking about those AS WELL as the games in the problem sets? and if hes also talking about the games in the problem sets, how many of those is he talking about?

i like the idea of doing a game repeatedly and unremittingly until ive memorized it. i just dont know on which games im supoosed to be practicing this strategy. thank you

Hi guys! I've recently had an issue and just wanted to see if anyone else has had this problem/knows how to work towards solving it.

I'll do fine on practice sections, I typically get around 5 wrong, give or take a few. Im doing these under the normal timed conditions as well.

But when it comes to the actual PT itself (which I try my absolute best to adhere to actual test conditions in) I'm always scoring in the lower end of the 150's.

I don't know if this is test anxiety, mental fatigue, or what. I'm just posting this to see if anyone else has had this issue so I don't feel completely crazy, and also seeing if anyone who's had this issue has found a way to fix it.

Thanks! :)

Hi there,

I do not have access to the new V2 beta curriculum. Is there any way I could get access to it?

Thanks!

any tips and tricks for making it through the 2 LR sections? i find myself losing concentration even halfway of just 1 timed full section. i don't experience this type of burnout during RC and not as much with LG. when i drill LR with 5-10 questions at a time, i don't have as much of an issue with focusing and accuracy. but as soon as i do an entire timed section, i find myself messing up even early on in the section. i must just be overwhelmed by the mass amount of varying subject matter in LR

B, to me, seems as the right answer. Can someone explain to me why is it D?
