How would you diagram the highlighted sentence. It has three conditional indicators ("if"- group 1 sufficient, "unless"- group 3 negate/sufficient and "cannot" group 4- negate, necessary)?

Pretty much in title

So I'm trying to improve on my LR and I usually have the most trouble with the most difficult LR questions (4 or 5 stars). A common question type here are really challenging Strengthen and Weaken questions.

I often review these missed questions in-depth and try to practice them untimed. While I do get these questions right again untimed, in timed conditions, I miss them over and over.

How do you get to a level of acing these questions consistently? I feel like the biggest issue is getting them correct under the intense time pressure

I am really struggling with reading this chain. I was under the understanding that two "some" statements lead to an invalid argument, so I didn't think we could make a Must Be True statement. How do you read the chain to get to the correct AC?

Soooo. Im sitting, grinding for my exam, fullproofing games, and the interface is acting all funky. I see a bunch of boxes where I should be able to click things like changing time and submitting.... anybody else experiencing this? I have tried logging in and out, shutting my computer down, different wifi, etc........

Does anyone here have their August LSAT exam scheduled for the early morning of 8/14?

I have already scheduled my exam for 8 am on 8/15, however, due to some family emergency, I will be flying an international flight on the night of 8/14, and be occupied thereafter. Therefore, the morning of 8/14 will be the only day for me to take the August exam.

However, all the 8/14 test sessions are now full on Proctor U. I wonder if anyone here is scheduled for 8/14 and is so kind to be willing to trade time session with me? I am so sorry to trouble you guys here, but I really cannot think of another way to solve this time conflict.

I'm noticing that the 70-75 mark, games are more easy in terms of logic games with barely any misc games, difficulty spikes in reading comprehension with passages being 8 questions sometimes and much longer passages, and practical complete shifts in LR to strength/weaken/flaw questions with the other types sprinkled in.

Am I being too analytical or is this shift more permanent so I should change my remaining study schedule?

Thanks!

I have absolutely no guidance from my school and don't know anyone that has gone through this process, so looking for any guidance and advice you all can give me. I recieved a 171 on my first LSAT and am hoping for a 174-176 on my next one. My UG GPA is a 3.66 right now, but it is dragged down by my first semester of college when I got a 2.6. Since then, I have recieved either a 3.9 or 4.0 pretty much every semester. Should I be considering t14s? Should I write an addendum?

Will they appreciate an upward curve like in UG admissions or do they just look at the number and call it a day?

I have a ton of leadership roles as well- I am the president of tour guides at my school, am on Mock Trial and a couple other clubs. I don't have much in terms of law-based internships or anything but have a lot of work experience and am the head intern at Admissions for my school this year. I'm not sure if law schools consider this stuff at all or just say they do.

TLDR: Where should I be applying with a 174 (ish) and a 3.66??

I am taking the August LSAT, which is my first, and am hoping to get my score ASAP so I know both if I need to take it again in October and if I should cancel my score. I know there is a warning that you cannot get your grade until after your written section has been accepted. A few questions regarding the process:

1) How long does it usually take for a written section to be confirmed?

2) If I took the written section a few days after the test would my score be delayed?

3) If my score is delayed, will I still be able to cancel that score using my one time option as a new test taker?

At the moment I am laser focused on trying to get the best possible score and I don't want to lose that by shifting focus to the written section. I am hoping to get some opinions on whether that is the right strategy or if I should bite the bullet and do the written section before the rest of the test.

Hey everyone,

For question types such as Flawed Method (especially where the question is asking you to find what the argument is taking for granted) that often have multiple answer choices that contain assumptions, what are people's strategies in determining whether an assumption is reasonable or not?

Looking to make a study group! There are some LR and RC that I think can really benefit from having more brains looking at it. Lmk if you are down and I will add you on discord and set up regular meeting dates!

I also would love some folks to talk to about statements!

I was wondering how to stimulate LSAT digital conditions but I still feel like doing the LG diagramming on paper is the most effective way to do it? How do people deal with this?

I'll be taking the august LSAT, and will also begin my fourth year of undergrad shortly after. I am attempting to get my affairs in order so that I can apply to schools asap. Should I just have the transcript sent to LSAC now and update it after the fall and spring semester closes?

I've been taking PTs as I prepare for the August test (as I'm sure most of you out there have been doing). I've opted to take all four sections during my practice in order to get a feel for the full test. As I was lurking on the discussion boards, I saw someone say that taking the "Simulate Flex" option will give you a more accurate score since there is no experimental section.

Does that mean all the PTs I've taken with the full four sections is scoring the experimental section? Or is the experimental section already incorporated into the score that 7Sage gives me?

Is there a way to calculate my "real" score? Do I simply take away one LR section score and recalculate my raw score is using the 7Sage raw score chart (https://classic.7sage.com/lsat-score-percentile-conversion/)?

Hi everyone,

I've been seeing some discussion posts of people who have been getting burnt out from studying. I am writing this after taking a week long break from studying for the LSAT. I take the LSAT on the 15th of this month and I usually study 6 days and two hours everyday. Ive been doing this pretty much all year and some of last year too. I have finally gotten pretty much to where I want to be. I took the LSAT last august and got a 156 and now I'm scoring in the 170's. Knowing that I've been making good progress, I decided to take a break. Usually, it's quite fun to take the test and know I'm doing well and improving but it was getting to the point where I was about to start dreading studying. Once I was about to hit that point, I knew it was time for a break and let me tell you ... it was much needed. I feel much better about going into the test and I am ready to get my study on for the next two weeks!

For those test takers who are also taking the test this months, let's take a breath and applaud ourselves for all of the hard work we've done in order to get where we are! I wish everyone happy testing and high scores!!

Hello, I'm inputting my PT86 answers from Law Hub where all sections are LG-LR-LR-RC. In order to ensure I did the right LR section for analytics here I did the LG, 1st LR and RC. It appears the "flex" option here has the LR sections backwards so the LR I completed is the one being removed when I select flex. I'd really appreciate an option to just select which LR is being graded when inputting a PT.

This is not the first time I experience this issue, and again, my analytics keep getting thrown off by having to do the "correct" LR section at another time. Please if anyone could provide some help with this issue I would be grateful. I'm mostly here for analytics. Having 2PT's so far not being able to accurately reflect my performance is becoming frustrating.

For a question like this that states "Which of the following indicates an error in the reasoning leading to the prediction", am I looking to attack a major premise instead of the conclusion? I got this question wrong and I am having difficulty discerning the difference between answer choice A with the correct answer D.

I'm currently working two jobs- one directly related to law as a research assistant and one as a contact tracer. Should I include both jobs on my CV for my law school applications? I will definitely put my research work and while I consider my contact tracing work relevant since I am working with my community (something I want to continue to do after I receive my law degree) I'm not sure how that would look to admissions. Thank you!

If answer choice (A) is not true, that does wreck the argument. Let's assume that the hairless dogs were found in Spain - then why could it not be that they were transported from Spain to both Peru and Mexico? It really does *not" have to be true that the dogs were transported from either of Peru/Mexico to the other (regardless of whether by boat or land).

Any insights welcome!

I'm a Canadian applicant thinking of applying to law schools in America as well. Would my recommenders need to submit their letters twice (through both OLSAS and CAS)?

Hi! I'm a current PhD student making a transition to law. Anyone want to start a LSAT study group with me? We could set goals, go over questions, review techniques, and keep ourselves accountable on a weekly basis. I'm signed up for October but I'm flexible on my test date since I'm not applying this round. I'm in the Bay Area but the study group will be over Zoom, so everyone is welcome. I'm scoring around 160 on my PTs, and my goal is 170+.

Recently I've discovered using the highlighting tool on RC helps me pick up the smaller details and answer the questions much faster with better understanding. While it does take slightly longer in the set up (a tad over 4 minutes), I was actually having the issue of reading way too fast and understanding next to nothing in my timed runs, so I'd rather have it this way. Out of curiosity, does anyone else do this with success? Have you done it on the actual test (and are there multiple colors available like on 7Sage)? Thanks!

I know there are a few posts regarding the same topic but I don't think there has been one after the June 2022 elongation announcement, so here it goes.

I just found the "simulate FLEX" function for PTs. I am thinking of applying to law school in 2023 hence I'm curious as to whether the 3-section FLEX format will continue onwards from June 2022, because I am unsure in what format I should be doing my PTs.

Does anyone know? Any help/advice/comments would be very appreciated.

Hey guys, I'm a 2022 test taker just really cautious about the fact that there are a limited # of PTs + its mentally draining to go through just one PT.

I took a diagnostic about a week ago and scored a 155. However I took it in Khan Academy, and 7Sage is requiring me to take another PT (the June 2007 one) as indicated on its syllabus.

After my K.A diagnostic I've only studied new concepts in LR and just merely went over my answers in RC and LG. Should I take the suggested PT right now? If not, when should I take it?
