I've been soooo focused on studying for the LSAT that I never even bothered to prep for the writing section. Any tips to help prepare? I took the LSAT this past Sunday and I'm planning on doing the writing tomorrow.

The recent rise in LSAT scores after flex has been factors like this:

  • People studying more (lol)
  • People more comfortable (that explains the 6 point boost!)
  • The unweighted advantage shifted to doing 1 LR
  • While I can see 2 and 3 as plausible, I have a hard time believing that 100 or so students aren't just cheating through tech (won't explain how). I'm pretty sure that the "tech" people monitoring who make $9 an hour aren't super vigilant on eye movements or on something that is suspicious.

    This isn't the craziest thing people have done for the sake of improving. People cheat on the SAT/GRE/online classes all the time with similar tech that's a joke to enforce.

    The amount of people that improved on the 170s tremendously and wouldn't be surprised jumped the line having the percentiles changed.

    Can someone explain to me why Answer choice D is the best choice for PT 91 Logical Reasoning Question 17? Is it because Answer choice D is only meeting one objective whereas the answer choices are meeting more than one objective? Thank you.

    Hi everyone,

    Hope studying is going well! I have a question for people who have already taken the online proctored version. Can I click on the clock to make it go away the same way I can with PT's on 7Sage? It really distracts me when I see the clock ticking in the corner of my eye and find myself having to reread way more. Thanks for your help!

    Anyone else encounter ProctorU issues while taking the LSAT in regards to them not being able to have access to your video randomly (even though it was fine in the beginning)? My test today got rescheduled to next week because of this and I have no idea what happened/if I can avoid it next time I write. Super frustrated.

    Hi friends, I've recently supplemented with Ellen Cassidy's CLIR book and am looking for someone to drill it with. I'm happy to explain how it goes. I'm taking the test in November and trying to perfect LR so basically this is a study group LR post though I'm happy to fraternize about LG or RC if you have interesting approaches to share. I know of some friends who've started taken tests together/BRing together and sparring over their answer discrepancies which I'm sure is useful too. Cheers!

    Hey all!

    I've been working really hard on LR and am seeing a lot of improvement so far, however one area that I am still having a lot of difficulty with is in flaw questions...

    I have been practicing with the two step test when I can't identify the flaw, but for whatever reason I find it very easy to gaslight my own reasoning with these wrong answer choices, than in comparison to other question types' wrong answer choices.

    Any advice on being able to find the right answer even when you don't spot the flaw would be much appreciated!

    I'm frustrated that B was the correct answer

    Reasoning:

    We have to create an assumption that if something makes an appearance, then it strongly helps

    That's like saying if I live in miami, and cancer goes down then my psychic power claims are strengthened

    Hi,

    I am trying to balance my study for all three sections. Also I am noticing my RC score drop if I've not reading intensively for days. But since I've full-time job so I am figuring out what would be a good way to maintain my reading also balancing other sections and my work.

    so do you do a full timed section everyday? or just one untimed passage with a deep dive review? or actually just reading books/magazine of your interest for few hours?

    Thank you vey much for sharing!

    Hi,

    I got my results back in September, but I never got the chance to write a post. I wanted to thank all the people who contribute to this community for helping me and others who were/are in my shoes. Also thank you JY for all the videos you made and all the hard work put in here. As the title suggests, I scored a 160. Back in 2019 when I took my first LSAT, I got a 143. My pre-law guidance counselor said most people do do better by more than 3-4 points. I told him I am not most people. I spent all of 2020 isolated in an apartment 7 states away from my friends and family studying so I can come home with a decent score. I returned with a 160. My strength is logic games; I usually only get 1-3 wrong on every section. Although most people do not have the luxury of total isolation, just make sure you are being true to yourself when you study. Your score will reflect how much work and effort you put in. Keep pushing, grinding, and making your dreams come true. If you need some advice DM me or reply to this post.

    Thank you :)

    Hi everyone, wondering if i could get your help with Q23 "According to rational-choice theory, popular support"...

    Would someone be able to help in explaining why D is wrong and A is right? I thought since D has "is never a complex phenomenon" while the stim conc says "simple", it's wrong, in which case I can't similarly justify A ... Thank you!

    What exactly does general principle mean? I see it constantly throughout the logical reasoning answer choices. Very rarely is it included in the actual right answer, but I would love to have a better understanding of the term and what would constitute a general principle, so that I can eliminate the answer choices more quickly. I have a basic understanding, but I feel like it is an ambiguous phrase for me at this point, therefore, when I see in the answer choices, I have to take unnecessary time to rule it out.
