I am a native speaker and I find that JY speaks at very fast pace. Sometimes it's okay and sometimes it gets frustrating and he loses me. How can I slow it down?
I get why (A) works but can someone please explain why (C) doesn’t? It seems to be extremely well-supported by P3: “Because the value of software lies in its form of expression, protection should be given only for particular applications - expressions of algorithms in an encoded form.”
HELP!!!

Hi guys,
I hope you’re all doing well to crush the LSAT!
I’ve got a question in regards to applications. I’m from Canada and planning to apply for law schools in the states. With most Canadian law schools their deadline is November 1st! As for the American law schools, they have different deadlines - mostly in February, march 2022 onwards. Can I still write the LSAT in January and have a chance to get in for 2022? I am kind of confused with how the American applications work?
Is it recommended to use the entire character limit for a personal statement? I have a limit of 5000 and my essay is slightly over 3000.
One party states that disposable diapers are a menace to the environment since they are filling up landfills etc., and people should replace disposable diapers with cloth diapers; the other party states that no, cloth diapers also carry significant amount of risks to the environment.
The two popular answer choices are B and D, and since B is correct lets talk about D. For D, it states that the anti-clother proceeds her argument with stating that cloth diapers pose far more serious threat to the environment. But where does the anti-clother says that? Maria only states that the widely adopted use of cloth diapers also post a lot of risks to the environment, but never states that it would pose a "far more serious threat." There is no comparison in the degree of threat the two type of diapers post; Maria only states her argument to say that cloth diaper also posts a lot of risk to the environment, even NO LESS risks than the disposable diapers, but she never states the cloth diaper would post FAR MORE SERIOUS THREAT.
AC B is correct because Pedro is convinced that the disposable diapers are bad for the environment and makes a good case for it: it is filling up landfills and blah blah. But he never states why we should take cloth diapers over disposable ones, and that is what Maria catches on with her counter. She states that the use of cloth diapers also pose significant risks to the environment through transportation etc., the factors that Pedro did not consider in his hasty argument that denounces disposables and promotes cloth. Therefore, B is the right answer as Maria points out the inadequacy in Pedro's support for cloth diapers.
I'm taking the November LSAT so please lmk if you want to be in a discord group
Does anyone really overthink the easy questions and they will abandon common sense at times because you're so focused on finding in text evidence? I just took a PT and my score dipped by a few points from my average, but the scoring breakdown was really weird. On the level 5 difficulty questions I got 7/8 correct, on the level 4 difficulty questions I got 9/11 right, on the level 3 difficulty questions I got 10/14 right, on level 2 I got 6/9 correct. RC and LG sections have a more typical breakdown in terms of percentage right and difficulty. Thanks for your help!
I just logged onto my ProctorU account and ran the diagnostic to make sure I'm all good for taking the October LSAT next week (I'm quaking). Everything checked out except for my RAM on my computer, meaning that my laptop is using too much memory with Chrome open. Does anyone else have this issue and know how to fix it? I don't know what more I can do to solve this. I also have Clean my Mac, so I can monitor and clear out my RAM, but it always fills up in minutes. I don't want a technical issue to interfere with test day :(
Hey everyone! I was wondering if people had any takes on the strategy of answering easiest questions first? What’s the minimum amount of time you’ll spend on a question before skipping it in the LR and RC sections? My most recent pts have been pretty consistent in the logic games but RC has been -3 or 4 about half of them and -8 or 9 on half and then LR have been -0 to -4 on most and then a few outliers of -8 and I feel super stressed throughout the sections I struggle on. Could that be because I’m getting in my head on early questions? Bizarrely have been discounting A and E on a lot of questions when I get down to guessing. Anyone feel like making a serious effort to get the easier ones first make a difference?
Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if it's still worth it to redo the miscellaneous games in the logic game section? I'm not sure if they still test it much.
Hi all,
I've been studying all summer, completed the CC and did 5 timed PT's thus far. My goal score is a 161-163 and although I have been hitting that in all of my blind reviews, I've yet to break past a 156 on an actual take and I am not quite sure why... Upon BR I am consistently hitting -2 to -4 on RC, -2 to -4 on LG and -5 to -8 on LR, but the variance between my timed take and BR is significant.
I'm taking both the Oct and Nov LSAT and of course would like to score in my BR range, any tips on bridging this gap? It seems that its mostly nerves getting the best of me because the questions I typically struggle on in my timed take, I still I correct quite easily during BR, and I often get them incorrect the first time because I am second-guessing myself. The most gains I get from BR'ing are in RC and LG, I suppose because I feel more relaxed without time restrictions and don't feel compelled to rush?
Any tips to bridge that gap would be appreciated. As well as any tips to calm down nervousness, block out useless thoughts and improving confidence!
Hey all. I recently completed practice test 91 on LawHub and an argument part type question's AC has me a little confused. I don't want to give spoilers away for the question... so not going to provide too much detail.
But one of the AC's is "It points up by example a contrast from which the conclusion is drawn."
Specifically "it points up" - I've never seen this used before in my life. Have you?
Is it a typo where they meant to say "it points out"?
Thank you and keep up the good work everyone!
I'm having a bit of trouble with my personal statements. Any feedback would be appreciated and I'm sure that others are probably in the same boat. I basically have 3 different avenues I could go
childhood trouble as a child of divorce - looking at my mom's attorney and knowing i want to be a lawyer for capacity to help people
a) potentials issues - I was going to relate it to how i projected on a fictional character but in reality the hero of the story is the lawyer..... is it too juvenile?
working at a law office and how everyone says they 'cant do' that type of work - but i think the toughest things are motivated by love of those that want to see them out of prison
a) potential issues - only been working there a few months and theyll see that on my resume
b) confidentiality issues - obviously I wont be giving away any personal information but i dont want it to seem like I see clients as inspirational stories rather then actual people, you know?
I was in a bad car accident and have been very angry at the person who broke the law and hit me. this conflicts with what i am interested in as an attorney but working in a law office has given the opportunity for me to see the forgiveness in it?
Let me know if you have any ideas and also if you have them id be happy to give my two sense. thanks so much :)
I don't see a place in lawhub for my OCT 2021 LSAT registration. Was the Aug 2021 administered on lawhub? Will the Oct 2021 be administered on lawhub? Thanks.
I’ve noticed PT91 and PT92 have two LG sections each, but do we ever get this in the real exam?
When these questions appear, I get really confused and have a hard time interpreting them, because they are so abstract. It feels like the author is trying to say something very all knowing and wise, even on silly subjects, but the language is hard to decode. Especially when morality comes up. Is there a way to train myself to solidify these concepts, or any techniques you can use. Greatly appreciated!
Hello Everyone,
I'm taking the October LSAT and plan on taking atleast two more PTs before my test date, should I take the older PTs (I have a few late 70s high 80s saved) which have answer explanations uploaded, or take the newest tests even though they don't have the explanations up and just try and explain them to myself? I feel like there are benefits to both but I'd like to hear another opinion!
Does anyone know if the evening/part time applications are separate for schools or is that something that's done post acceptance? I'm looking at Depaul, Loyola Chicago and Kent-Chicago
Hello Everybody,
I am currently working my way through the Logic Games section. I've taken multiple symbolic logic courses in University and learned all about logical operators, such as ampersand (conjunctions), wedge (disjunction), horseshoe/arrow (conditional) and triple bar (biconditional).
I keep trying to translate the given sentences with the common logical operators used in symbolic logic, but the 7Sage program seems to only use conditionals to translate every sentence...
One example that stood out to me is: "Neither ... nor". In symbolic logic that normally translates to either (~A & ~B ) or into ~(A v B ), according to the DeMorgan's laws. However, 7Sage suggests the translation: A -> ~B C -> ~B
Can someone explain to why we aren't using the other logical operators? It is distinctly possible that I am missing something or misunderstood something, so I would appreciate any help!

Hi all,
I'm looking for someone or a mini-group of folks to full proof LG with me.
I take my test in November, but I am going to do some LG full proofing before then, and I think it would be a good idea not to go it alone. SO what I was thinking is having someone to help with accountability and staying on track. We could email each other at the beginning of the week and commit to full-proofing say Games 1-10 this week, and then check in at the end of the week to make sure we did. We'd repeat this cycle until we feel like we've reached our goal/are prepared to take the test.
Anyone up for this. I find the repetition of full proofing difficult, but it would be easier knowing someone is doing the same thing as me. Let me know if you're interested!
My previous tutor who scored 176 on the LSAT Flex and attends HLS now submitted the following wrong answer journal to me. Currently, this is the template I use to to visually represent my reasonings for LR and RC sections. Could you please share yours as well? I have seen folks use Excel, table, etc to do it but personally, I like what I currently use the best.
MP+MC Pset 1: LSAT 35 Question 9
Prephrase: Not intended to be in accordance with formal set of rules → reason did not play a role in the act → cannot be considered moral behavior
I was curious if anyone has a master list of all the schools that don’t have an application fee this cycle??
Hi. I am about to join 7 sage paid services. I am new.
i will probably write lsat in coming November.
Do you guys have any plan to upload the video explanations for
PT90(experimental LR),PT91,PT92-Explanations prior to November LSAT?
Hey everyone! Ive been pting in the high 150's low 160's and I was wondering if anyone was interested in forming a November lsat study group with me to keep each other accountable and to review our sections together! Please let me know if anyone is interested and we can make a discord group chat together :)
