Is anyone able to explain this question to me? I am horrible with proportions/math/etc, and I don't understand why my answer was wrong or why the right one is right. Thank you!!

Hello,

My name is Ken Kim. We are a group of Koreans and Korean-Americans planning to take the LSAT either this October or in a couple of years. We have members scoring from 160-175 either on the official test or practice tests. Some of us are committed full-time to the test while some of us are working at a company, law firm, etc. We meet on the following dates at the Gangnam station Exit 9 Wing Study Cafe.

8:00 pm-11:00 pm, Wednesday

2:00 pm-5:00 pm, Sunday

We usually meet and do questions from LR and RC. We match our answers and discuss why each one of us have chosen an answer we chose. The fee for joining the study is free other than paying for the studying cafe fee which is 1,900 KRW per person for each hour (5,700 KRW total).

If you are interested, please send me a message to my inbox. I will direct you further. Thanks!

I put this explanation in my "Wrong Answer Journal Template" and I wanted to know if I was at the right ballpark in explaining why what I chose was wrong, and what makes the right answer correct.

What makes the correct answer correct?

I think that the discrepancy is that even though each consideration has equal importance, "the lack of proximity either to markets or to raw materials often causes municipalities to lose prospective businesses" is causing more damage, and "higher-than-average business-tax rat" isn't causing as much damage . I believe the answer that is right shows why having the unequal product of both the considerations is worth while for the municipalities

What makes the wrong answer wrong?

It has nothing to do with the discrepancy being stated

How can I change my process to do better on these in the future?

I was looking at the question wrong. I thought that showing why people would relocate was somehow the discrepancy, but I see now that my answer choice had nothing to do with what was being asked of my and next time I just need to pay more attention

Hello! I have been studying for the LSAT for the past 5 months and am taking the LSAT in this upcoming September LSAT slot. Before I go back and revise and study all the material again, is there a good time period I should focus on? I know the questions have changed vastly over the last 20 years and so I didn't know if the "Newest/Newer" PTs were better overall. Thank you in advance! :)

Is it better to study for the LSAT where I will take the actual exam? The purpose of this would be to get used to the same environment so that I know what to expect on test day in terms of my environment. However, I find that I am more effective and productive at studying when I am at the library, which is where I will not be taking the actual exam. What matters is understanding the material so as long as I understand it, it wouldn't matter where I study right?

Hey,

I was just wondering if there was any specific major that you would recommend to non-native English speakers?

I know it’s last minute but hey! Does anyone want to meet a few times before the LSAT in September to learn from and motivate each other?

I just finished my first PT after completing the core curriculum. I blind reviewed it and now I'm looking for advice on next steps, do I keep taking practice tests? how much time should I devote to reviewing the missed questions etc. I'm planning on taking the October test and am looking to increase my score by 10+. Any and all advice is helpful!

I feel like I take PTs too often. Shouldn’t I just be focusing on understanding the material instead of “hitting a certain” score.

Can I retake a full PT without deleting my old data. Like when you redo a problem set it says (Problem set 1-1 or 1-2 etc) ?

Hello everyone, I am looking for 1/2 people to form a study group; the idea is we keep each other accountable in our studying leading up to test day. Some things we can do: set a number of (X) sections we have to complete by the end of every week, do some blind review together, discuss difficult questions, share tips etc. Shoot me a private message.

So I have just been following the curriculum in order, I am about 9% done at the moment. I scrolled through the rest of it quickly and figured I would find scheduled practice tests throughout. However, I am pretty sure there are none. I only saw prep tests in a group right at the end. Prep tests are not the full length tests, right?

So I have to schedule and take my own full length tests throughout the course?

Can someone explain why C is correct and why E is incorrect

hi everyone. i'm currently planning on taking the february lsat which would be my first time taking the lsat. i'm prepping from now which gives me about 7 months ~ 26 weeks to prep. i just finished up this first week by taking a diagnostic and sort of practicing the blind review method with another practice exam as i heard it's really helpful among other test-takers. now i'm stuck and not really sure where to begin or how to start with the official course of prep. if it helps, i'm scoring better on logic games than LR and RC and i usually get bored very easily in the RC section and have the habit of rushing through it and getting distracted. i have access to powerscore bibles and official LSAT preptests. i'm not hoping to spend too much money on material but i am willing to purchase one of the study plans from 7sage as i've seen it's significantly more affordable than other prep websites. any help on how to start and how to space out my study days is greatly appreciated. thank you!

Leading up to your test date, are you taking PTs in order (like doing PT 80, then 81, then 82, etc)? Or bouncing around? By "bouncing around," I mean taking a PT in, say, the 50s, then maybe one in the 80s, then one in the 70s, etc. I understand that more recent PTs are more representative of modern tests, so I'm not sure that I want to use super recent PTs when I'm still 3+ months away from the actual test. I also don't want to get a false sense of security from older tests if I'm scoring higher on them, however.

When I take PTs, I always get headaches. Is it something normal for others too? That's why I feel like I perform better in timed sections rather than in PTs. Any suggestions on how to not get headaches when taking PTs?

I plan on doing the CC for the next 2 months (after which I will foolproof 1-35 LG and then after move on to drilling sections/question types then taking pt etc etc etc). But in the meantime while I complete this CC, I’m wondering how many problem sets I should be doing? What did you guys do that was most beneficial? I know I’m supposed to leave some for drilling later, and I plan to do AMPLE drilling of weaknesses way down the road (I’m taking 10 months to study this). So help me out: should I do odd numbered problem sets? Exactly half of them? One easy one medium one hard? A couple easy a couple medium a couple hard? Until I “understand” the question? (which I don’t even know when I could fully say that if I’m only starting with the beginning ones bc they are easy…) Let me know what you did/what you wish you did/what will be the most advantageous for me?

Also, when you did these problem sets during CC, did you do them untimed? 1 min per q? Target time? I’m thinking that I should do them untimed bc I’m still learning the material and don’t want to reinforce bad habits with a clock interference (at least for now). Maybe leave the timed drilling sets of specific questions until after cc? Idk. Let me know if you have any insight into ^^ any of this! Thanks!

Hello,

Do you happen to know if there are ways to prevent technical problems from happening again? Also, do we get to resume where we got kicked off from or do we have to start all over with a different exam? Are there any disadvantages from retesting? Thank you so much!

Just wondering if anyone encountered this situation: I was taking the first section early today, and everything went fine for a while. All of the sudden, the proctor started to ask me to reposition the camera without stopping the timer, and she asked me 3 times in total. The section was logic game, and my train of thoughts were completely disrupted ever time she talked to me. So, I have to go back to where I was in the question and trying to figure out what my thought was. During the third time, I got extremely upset and told her this was extremely disrupting and "please just shut up". She then told me that she's simply following the guidance. This process caused me a lot of stress, and I was not able to focus thereafter. I disconnected with the proctor righter after the first section, and filed an official complaint to the LSAC.

Was I being unreasonable? Or was she being unprofessional? I am so pissed.

I've been struggling with LG and my strategy to study so far has been to do a game until i get it all right and in time (usually 3 tries) then i'll put it aside and do it again the next day. That next day I'll just do it once and then do it again the next day until i get it all right and in time 3 times. This usually leads me to doing a game about 5 or 6 times. I want to do the foolproof method but I don't understand if it would mean doing the same game ten times in a row then moving on or how do you space out the ten repetitions?

I think I'm blind... I can't find the link to take my LSAT Writing portion on the LSAC LawHub account. Am I missing something super obvious?? Where is it?

Anyone know of a good LSAT tutor? Taking the October LSAT and trying to score at least mid-160s. Thanks!

Hi everyone! I'm dedicating most of my time to achieving the highest LSAT score possible. However, I'm curious as to what role one's GPA plays in the admissions process. Are the LSAT and GPA of equivalent importance or can a higher LSAT compensate for a GPA that may fall at or slightly below the 25th percentile? I understand the process is subjective and depends on a case-by-case basis. I studied abroad for a semester and the overseas school's grading system is stricter than the way my home university transferred my semester GPA so I graduated with a 3.82 (magna cum laude) but LSAC has processed my cumulative GPA to be 3.78 (still magna cum laude). Will this .04 drop have a significant impact on my application? I identify as a minority but probably not URM and I will be applying to T-14 schools aiming for 171+ LSAT score.

Anyone else have technical issues for the online August LSAT (Friday)? I ran several diagnostics to ensure that my 2018 MAC air could accommodate for ProctorU but right before the test, they said it was too slow. I made sure to close all my applications and run through the ProctorU diagnostics before I tested (they all came up perfectly fine). Now I sent a complaint and hopefully I can rewrite it on the 23.

Also if anyone has written on the Tablet; is it more difficult/ could I use my own Ipad and Pencil?

I have only been practicing on my Mac so I am worried that the tablet format may be hard to do for logic games given that it would have to be propped up so I could work on the problems on my scratch paper!
