Can anyone explain this answer? #help

help I said C initially but during BR switched to E. I thought C was wrong because barren conditions doesn't exactly say much about weather conditions and E could explain the discrepancy because if beetles are older they're likely to appear sooner in the record than pollen....

I chose B with certainty in my blind review, but found out that D was the correct answer.

Is the answer choice B not the correct answer because it does not mention the "certain size" of political interest group?

Also, if D is the correct answer, does it mean that "as wide a membership as possible" is supported by what the passage says "exceeds a certain size"?

Thank you in advance!

Hi everyone,

I have been studying for the LSAT for about 4 months now, and I'm finally fully finished with my core curriculum. I am planning on now taking PTs. I'm having major anxiety about taking my first ever PT because I'm scared I will not perform too well since it will be my first time taking a full-length LSAT exam. I'm afraid of getting a very low score and feeling very discouraged afterward. I still struggle a lot with time, and I'm anxious this will get the best of me and cause me to perform horribly. If you have experienced something similar, please share how you overcame your anxiety about taking PTs.

Thank you in advance!

I tend to fluctuate in the LR section. I want to improve it to the point where I get a -3 or -4 consistently. Now the problem is when I get a practice test that has two LR sections, I tend to do great in one of them and okay in the other. I have checked the difficulty levels and they both tend to be similar. Any advice on what I should do to achieve my goal? Should I be doing more drills to see where my problem is?

When i take PTs I have been using the wrong answer journal template available in the review answers section for all my completed PTs

Is there somewhere I can gain access to all of my wrong answer journal notations together in one location so I can print or export them for studying?

I just took my first PT doing all four sections for stamina. For BR, do you guys look at the second Logical Reasoning section, or do you check "simulate modern" to review only the other three sections since the actual test only has three scored sections?

I feel a con of looking at the second LR section would be that it takes up more time but a pro is that I'm obviously reviewing more questions. I'm just unsure what to do.

for some reason I can't find the email where it tells us when scheduling opens for time slots for the January LSAT. Does anybody know?

I’ll be taking the January 2023 test and am doing my first PT tomorrow (I know it’s a bit close). I’ll have accommodations for my disabilities with one of them being the option to pause the test anytime.

I looked at the 7sage practice test format and don’t see an option to pause the test anywhere. As I’m trying to replicate the real thing it’d be nice to have it on here. Is there no option on here or has anyone found it and I’m just overlooking it?

Ive been studying for the LSAT for a while now, I've done the core curriculum and all that. I write my LSAT in January to apply for fall admission. For months now I'm scoring 158-163 spamming PT's everyday, and I just seem to have hit my peak.

I only need to improve a couple points so I score in the 160-165 range consistently, as that will get me in the school I want. I'm just not sure how to improve anymore. It feels like I'm not getting better, I'm just doing PT's and getting the same score. Typically -5 on LR, -3 or 4 on LG, and -8 to -10 on RC.

Any tips? I wanted to do a tutoring session, but its too expensive for me.

After applying to several law schools, I decided to sign up for the January 2023 LSAT (with score preview) to see if I could boost my score, even though I'm fairly happy with my existing score (in the low-170s) from earlier this year. However, I was wondering if law schools would be able to determine from my CAS report that I've signed up for a future LSAT exam and, if so, whether they would delay the processing of my admissions materials until Jan score release (scheduled for Feb 1) accordingly?

For instance, I noticed this disclaimer from Berkeley Law -"If you are registered for a future standardized test administration (no later than January 2023), we will automatically place your file on hold until that score is received. If you want us to complete your file before receiving this score, you must email us at admissions@law.berkeley.edu to make this request," and I was wondering if other law schools had a similar policy? For most of the law schools I'm applying to, I would much rather have the admissions council evaluate my apps earlier in the cycle, instead of placing my file on hold until Feb 1 when they receive my Jan score, since (1) I might end up using score preview and canceling my score anyway and (2) I'm worried most slots will already be filled up by Feb 1, so I would much prefer applying with my existing score rather than wait until that late in the cycle and risk getting waitlisted, etc.

TLDR: I just wanted to check in and confirm whether CAS would report the fact that I've registered for the Jan LSAT and, if so, whether I should reach out individually to law schools and request that they evaluate my apps before receiving my Jan LSAT score? Thank you so much!

Hello,

Throughout my LSAT journey, LR continues to be my weakest point. I've started to do drills lately to significantly improve my understanding. However, on the timed score I've been averaging -12-14 but on the BR score, the average is between -2-5/section. Some issues I've started to notice are, time, not reading properly on timed sections, misinterpreting the AC's, or just kind of freeze & freak out. As soon as I BR, I'm able to see my errors and choose the correct AC. I do take anywhere between 2-4 hours to complete it. I understand that it's not an ideal time-frame, my goal is to improve on my time strategy. But, can anyone offer any advice or help for the huge discrepancy between my timed and BR score? Or should I just keep trying to improve my foundational knowledge and time?

So I registered for the Jan LSAT, expecting to get more info on exactly how the test was administered, what devices are compatible, what I need to bring etc. So can someone explain the dynamics of how you actually take the exam? I have an new 2021 Ipad with keyboard and want to make sure that’s compatible with taking the test.

Are there restrictions on where I can take the test? I dont have a place to take it at home so I’m looking into the best places for taking it that also satisfy all LSAC requirements (aka renting private study room in Library).

What am I allowed to bring with me? Ive been doing all my PTs with a blank piece of paper to write notes or draw diagrams but if im taking it online am I allowed to do that?

LSS: how do I make sure I’m fully prepared for the exam and dont have anything surprise me on exam day. Any suggestions/rules are appreciated!

Hello everyone I just finished the CC and am still having difficulty with LR section under timed conditions. I have a pretty large discrepancy between my score under timed conditions and untimed (150’s Timed to 170’s untimed).

I just got the loophole because I need to improve my LR performance but I’m unsure about it’s effectiveness and whether it’s worth going through it if I already completed the CC.

My question to you is for those who have done both the CC and Loophole or just Loophole what do you guys suggest is the best way to approach the book. Should I even bother? If you did the CC first do you find it more confusing now to go through the book? What are the best benefits of the book?

Anything will be appreciated!

Hey guys,

Just want advice from people on the application process. I'll be brief. I went to a very good school for undergrad, Notre Dame, but because of the difficulty of the school and a few personal issues and learning disabilities, my GPA was a little lower than I'd like it to be.

I ended senior year with a 3.54. Just wondering whether or not law schools take into account the difficulty of your undergraduate school when assessing your GPA

I'm wondering if it is important to have a different approach for example science passages as opposed to a humanities passage...

Hi, does anyone know if we are able to see to see past drills we've completed? Thank you.

I couldn’t speak more highly of 7Sage. J.Y. got me through the LSAT in three months, scoring 172 my very first time! I honestly couldn’t recommend their services more. You guys truly have an outstanding and spectacular team!

Does anyone know what the difference is between the tags "grouping with sequencing" and "sequencing with grouping"?

thanks!

Just out of curiosity, are there any disadvantages if I ask for a fee waiver?

I haven't logged into 7Sage in a while because the application process got hectic but having received my first acceptance, I realized I owe a big thank you to 7Sage, my tutor, and the 7Sage Admissions Consulting team.

I started my LSAT journey feeling like I was doomed to fail (I'm pretty sure I took 35 mins to attempt my first Logic Game). I self-studied for a couple of months and was getting nowhere but when I started using 7Sage, things started to click. 7Sage was instrumental in getting me from 151 to low 160s and then I hit a big plateau. That's when I met @Mike_Ross who identified exactly why I was hitting a block and guided me through overcoming each specific challenge I had. By the end, he became part tutor, part psychologist, and part cheerleader. I don't think I would've gotten the score I did without him!

Then it was time to actually apply. As a first-gen student, I was scared of the process so I signed up for 7Sage consulting and had an amazing team to guide me through each step. Their professionalism and enthusiasm in my journey kept me sane and helped me present the best version of myself to schools.

So thank you! It takes a village and I am a perfect example of that.

Hi

I am thinking of doing a few drilling questions but I am afraid it is going to use up the precious PTs from 35 onwards. Does anyone know where the drilling questions are sourced? If they are only within 1-35 then I can do drills worry free.

Thanks so much.

Is A the right answer because it's refuting the claim that polls influence voter decisions and hence the need for them to be banned one week prior to the election? I can see why it's A from process of elimination, but it didn't seem too appealing as an answer choice. #help

can someone help? I don't see a distinction between both levels of oxygen

I don't understand why this answer is correct. I chose (B), but the correct answer is (E). Please help me! I can't find an explanation online.
