Hi all

I remember last year that an excel sheet with the new and previous admission stats were released (I think maybe by Spivey?) Does anyone know if that exists at the moment or when it might? Or if there is another document that is tracking any changes in admissions stats already?

Thanks!

Hiii I am looking to take the LSAT in January. I would like to start an in person study group in the Bay Area, California. If you'd like to join, message me your email!

Hey everyone, do you guys think the November lsat is too late for this application period? Im scoring in the 160s on PTs and im aiming for T20 schools so I thought of taking the November lsat instead of October to have more study time. I was reading around and some sites say that November is too late and I just wanted everyone’s opinion on this. Thanks!!

Hello, everyone, I have been studying for the LSAT for about two weeks now, and I'm having a very, very hard time understanding weakening questions, and the highest score I've received on the drills is a 3/5. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to get better at weakening questions? I have a very hard time picking out the wrong answer choices.

Episode #86 is here!

Hello everyone. I was hoping someone could help me improve LR which is my weakest section. I just recently finished a PT and got -0 in LG, -7 in RC, but -20+ combined from the 2 sections of LR. After reviewing the questions, I noticed most of the LR questions I’m getting wrong are only 4-5 star difficulty questions. The type of questions I got wrong are all over the place so the issue doesn’t seem to be exactly the type of question but rather the difficulty level that’s tripping me up. Should I create drills to only do 4-5 star difficulty questions or is there a different way to approach this? Should I be doing drills timed or untimed until I can consistently get the answers right? I’m really not sure where to go from here or how to take on these questions which are easily the biggest factor in my scores right now.

Looking for 1/2 people taking the November/January Test who would be willing to form a study group and try to keep each other accountable on our study goals every week. We could also exchange tips about the test, tackle hard question together etc. Shoot me a private message on 7sage and we'll connect.

I am confused about the logic translations seen in the video explanation for a particular LR question:

LSAT PrepTest 49, Section 4, Question 16

Link: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-49-section-4-question-16/

There are two statements in this question where I don’t agree with the video explanation’s interpretation.

“Since the most realistic pieces are the most truthful”

The video explanation translates this statement as Most Real = Most Truthful. Why are the two concepts equivalent instead of existing in a conditional relationship? When I did this question, I diagrammed the relationship as Most Real → Most Truthful. We CANNOT say that “the most truthful pieces are the most realistic” given the above statement, correct?

“The most realistic pieces of art would be the best”

Again, the explanation diagrams this statement as Most Real = Best. It is my impression that from this statement, we CANNOT say “The best art is the most realistic.” Why is the equal sign used in the diagram, instead of a conditional arrow?

If someone can let me know why = signs are used rather than conditional arrows, I’d greatly appreciate the help.

Hello,

I was wondering about a study method I saw recently and if anyone has employed something similar.

This involves completing almost an entire part of the core curriculum, but leaving a part of each section unfinished before returning at a later time.

For example, completing all the lessons in the “Most Strongly Supported” section of Logical Reasoning. Then, completing about half of the practice sets towards the end of the lesson.

The reason being that returning to finish the remaining practice sets at a later time forces you to review the content down the road. This refreshes your memory and also allows you to move and continue through the curriculum.

Was wondering if anyone has studied in a similar way? Thanks

My scores on my practice tests seem to rely quite a bit on the actual content of the sections. For example, I usually get between -3-4 on RC UNLESS there's a science passage. Then I score -11. Today I took a practice test. No science passage in RC, but there was on particularly difficult passage about free will. I got -11.

My test is in two weeks and I can't think of or find more strategies for RC and LR that can help me stabilize my score. I've been studying for 9 months and I don't know what to do at this point. :(

I bought it 5 months ago and now it saying to purchase the course?

how can I take an individual section for practice (yes I. know there is drills you can create) from a practice test? like lets say I wanna just do reading from sept of 2018 for practice ?how can I modify that

One of my main law school choices is UCLA. But the deadline to submit the application to UCLA is February 1, 2023, which is also the date which January 2023 LSAT results will be released. Is it possible to apply on exactly February 1?

Is there a way to request results on the LSAT to be released early?

Can someone explain why the answer is D instead of C? Thank you!!! #help

What are some beneficial strategies for using scratch paper? Currently, I only use my scratch paper for LG diagramming and the occasional conditional that pops up on the LR section.

However, I am wondering if there are any other ways to use my scratch paper for the non-games sections. It seems like it could help digest certain passages in these sections. I would love to hear how others employ their scratch paper to its fullest potential.

In the explanation videos, he is always copying & pasting his gameboards. Can we do that during the test? Is our scratch "paper" just open space on the screen? He'll also write notes on the RC section's passage. I don't get how it will actually be during the test. Is it all on the computer, is it all on paper, or is the test on the computer, but the scratch paper we're given is physical?

In the CC we're told that the terms For/Since/Because are premise indicators but the conclusion either preceeds or follows the section. Is this the case for all LR questions MP questions? Or are there exceptions?

Hi all,

I am taking the October and November LSATs and I am currently on hour 149/219 in the CC. I still have to complete all my PTs.

It doesn't seem feasible to expect to complete the entire CC plus all the PTs before my test dates. Should I prioritize completing the CC and the drills or should I jump around the CC and focus on completing more PTs? I am finished with the LR and I currently jump back and forth between LG and RC, RC coming more naturally to me than LG, which I will need to study the most.

Any comments appreciated!

I've been studying LSAT for 2 months full-time now but I still feel super lost.

I just took my first Prep Test (PT70) and got 152 because I could not finish any of the LSAC sections on time.

I feel like I do not have the "mental stamina" to do even one section with my best ability.

The most discouraging part is that I feel like I am wasting so much time and energy everyday (studying 6+hrs a day) but only get to do and review about 2 sections a day.

What can I do better and make the best out of my time before I take October LSAT?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Any one from Vancouver or surrounding areas (lower mainland) writing the LSAT in September?

We can host a session to write a full exam.

Hi everyone!

I've recently been doing lots of timed RC passages and notice that when I look at the time breakdown for the passage, I see the target setup time is typically 1:45 - 3:00 minutes, but never longer. My typical "setup times" are in the 3:50-5:00 minute range and then spend 3-4 minutes on questions, whereas the target question time is anywhere from 5-7 minutes.

Is this what everyone is doing? I'm struggling to understand how JY or whoever sets the target setup time is going through these passages and comprehending them well in that quick of a time. I've never thought I was a slow reader, but these setup times are making me think otherwise.

Any tips or thoughts?

Thanks!

I know that you cannot wear headphones during the lsat so does that mean that you need speakers on your computer to be able to hear your proctor? I only have headphones for my computer so I am curious to know if I need to buy some speakers. Thanks.

It sounds like a silly question, but on the LSAC website it says that the November LSAT will take place on the 11th and 12th.

Should I expect an email from them detailing the final date and time of the test?

Hi,

For the tags in the logic games section on the drilling page, there's one for 'grouping with sequencing' and one for 'sequencing with grouping'. Does anyone know the difference between the two?

If there is a difference, then should I do SeqGrp games whilst I'm target drilling GrpSeq/InoSeq games as well?

Thanks!
