I found out today, by accident, that PT 26 S1 Game 2 and PT 81 S4 Game 2 are the exact same game. They have different settings (sending letters vs dance performances), but the letters used for the pieces and the rules are the exact same. I only found this out because I had randomly done PT 26 S1 game 2 as a warmup LG before taking PT 81 today. They did ask some different questions about the games in the two tests, though they share 2 question stems in common. Are there any other games people have noticed that are duplicates?

Hope someone else will find this oddity as interesting as I did.

Salaam, if anyone is interested in creating a Muslim study group/network/support?

Hi everyone, I am currently looking for a study buddy on zoom. I will be studying everyday till Oct 18 from 4.00 AM to 7.00 PM Beijing Time. If anyone’s interested please DM me and we can meet everyday same time and study silently together. I promise I will not distract my study buddy because I know how annoying it is to be distracted when studying. This two person group is only to held accountable and encourage each other.

Would anyone know of in-person study groups in the LA area? Or is anyone interested in meeting up at a safe, quiet, place every so often for the upcoming LSAT?

Is anyone interested and studying together and hammering out tons of lsat question? I feel like having study partners motivates. Interested in doing it over zoom or if you’re located in LA that works as well.

Hi everyone! I live in Vienna, Austria, and I would like to form an LSAT study group. Please feel free to contact me if you are interested!

I unfortunately missed the webinar (didn’t see it was eastern time, sigh). Would anyone be willing to message me what I missed? I would appreciate it greatly!

Calling all international students or students currently studying abroad!

I am a student from the United States studying abroad in Morocco and I've been frustrated because most study groups meet at times which would be impossible for me to participate in. So, I thought I would try to form my own group. We would probably only be able to meet a few times since I'll be taking the October LSAT on the 18th, however I still think it could be really beneficial. We could use Zoom and meet any time from 7-11pm GMT+1 time. Please let me know if you or anyone you know is interested!

I originally started out LR by just drilling here and there and not paying too much attention to it until recently. I have been reading books, watching the videos about logic, and drilling a lot but I seem to be getting nowhere. It almost feels as if I understood it more knowing less about it. All of the different question types and how to solve them are getting jumbled when I take timed sections now. It also seems as if I need an entirely different approach for every single different question type. I am in need of ANY help or pointers to guide me in the way of properly studying for LR. (For reference, my PT is usually -12 and BR is -8ish, but now that I am only doing LR, performance has dropped a bit). Thanks in advance

Answer is C: I actually eliminated C pretty quickly on the grounds that the answer choice alleges the ethical principle does not help the journalist, whereas Anita states that the guidance is inadequate. If something is inadequate, I take that to mean it is insufficient for achieving a purpose. However, something can be inadequate but still help in a situation. If I say "the water from one fire hose is inadequate for putting out the forest fire," it doesn't mean that the water from the one fire hose does not help in extinguishing the fire. It most definitely helps, but is insufficient to achieve that purpose.

Can someone tell me why answer choice C is correct? I ended up eliminating every answer choice in this question and just guessed since I was stumped.

Admin Note:

Deleted the stimulus because it is against our Forum Rules to post LSAT questions on the forum.

I've applied binding early decision to UVA. I applied with a 169 and a 3.51 GPA, but my hope is that the GPA will matter less considering I've been an officer and pilot in the Marine Corps for nearly 10 years. Anyway, does anyone know how long UVA usually takes to respond? It's supposed to be within 21 business days, but I'm hoping for something sooner. What I've found online is that if it takes 21 days, you're probably waitlisted or deferred to regular admissions.

Hi everyone, I was approved for +50% time today and just wanted to ask about some strategies to best leverage this extra time.

I was already not horrible in terms of pacing, but I was missing questions bc I was misreading/ rushing questions etc.

My intital impression of the best way to leverage this extra time would be to literally blind review during the actual exam; finish the section in ~35 minutes and then go back and review the answers I’m not 100% confident with. This is also a godsend for diagraming during LG, though I haven’t started studying LG. Same with RC my impression is that I should use the time to read the passages more critically, etc.

If anyone has any additional general of section-specific advice, I’d greatly appreciate it!

Hi everyone,

This is my 2nd week of studying for the February test and I just feel like nothing is clicking. Once it gets a bit complicated, my brain just goes haywire. I've taken a diagnostic test and got 141 :( But the thing is...my brain is telling me this test shouldn't be hard to understand 😪

I'm going through sage's syllabus and have done some drills but I am just overwhelmed by everything that is offered and do not know what works and doesn't work. I would watch the explanation videos and understand it but then it goes out the field once I start practicing on my own. I work full time so I try to study at least 2-3 hours for at least 6 days of the week to prevent burnout but I just don't know what I'm doing wrong.

Do any of you have tips for me? Please help. I've considered getting a 7sage tutor but don't know if that will help if I've only been studying for 1 full week.

I noticed there isn't a tag for "phenomenon hypothesis" type questions. Can someone clarify, are PH q's a subcategory of strengthen/weakening q's? Seems like they should have their own tag?

Hi! I'm currently reliably able to get Strengthening and Weakening questions correct when they are marked as Easiest/Easier/Medium level questions, but I seem to be only getting half of any given set of Harder/Hardest level Strengthening and Weakening questions. I also have the same problem with Flaw questions with about the same ratio of accuracy for the same difficulty levels.

Is there any different strategy I can adopt for sake of improvement? I really think nailing these types of questions in particular along with Flaw questions seems to be the key for me to getting a -3 or less on LR from my current score analytics, and from there my chances at a 170+ would greatly improve.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi - trying to look through previous discussions / on the LSAT website but couldn't find a clear answer. I have blank paper but it's yellow. Is that okay, or does the blank paper have to be white? Thanks in advance!

Hi guys I have been doing WAJ for the past couple of weeks. The way I did it was firstly copy&paste screenshot into my ipad notebook and then write explanations on it. Then I switched to make a drill of every question I missed or had doubt with and download that as a pdf. to write notes on. While I found this process to be smooth, I would rarely go back to these individual pdfs because the amount is getting big.

I wonder if I could somehow find a way to incorporate these notes into one document? I am thinking about perhaps doing an excel, but because I would like the stimulus included, I don't wanna do any extra, unnecessary work by somehow copy&pasting or screenshooting into excel; I already don't have enough time to actually practice because I have been spending so much time on BRing and reviewing wrong questions.

Thanks!

is there any resource that is good for identifying premises and conclusions, Im new to my lsat journey and i keep getting tripped up with that

Has anyone known/heard or became a practicing attorney through the completion of the Office Study / Apprenticeship program?

Hi everyone! After hitting 170-176 on a few PTs, I saw my scores drop back down to high-mid 160s. Last Saturday, I got 5 and 6 wrong on LR when I usually only get 1-3 wrong! A lot of the questions I missed were 1-2 star questions I usually never miss. I have a feeling I'm getting too much in my own head, and I was wondering if anyone has advice on how to deal with this. I am taking the October LSAT and I'm trying really hard not to freak out!

Would help to mimic real testing conditions

How do I see what my GPA is on LSAC? I heard that there can be discrepancy between your GPA from your degree granting institution's transcript and any other institutions' transcripts if you took a course there during high school.
