Hi all,

I am taking the LSAT in January and am a bit confused as to whether I should be checking simulate flex for the prep tests? Should I be taking all 4 sections instead?

does anyone have the setup to this game?

Struggling with this one. The negation of E wrecks the argument and is what I picked, but I am having a really difficult time eliminating A. Any thoughts on how to justify getting rid of it? Thanks!

Admin Note: Edited title. Please use the format: "PT#.S#.Q# - brief description of the question"

If this is not the hardest question on the set, I don't know which is. I had a great time trying to understand this question and why C is correct and spent an hour just scratching my head trying to figure it out. Would still love to see what everyone thinks about this question. But so far I don't see that many asking about this question so here is my take on it.

Background: Some researchers claim that people gesture less when expressing abstract instead of physical ideas

Premise: Some people perceive words in different ways: for a word that has both abstract and physical understanding, people can perceive it as either abstract or physical

Conclusion: The argument that the researchers' claim is not universal is not sufficient reason to reject it.

WTF. What are the connections between the premise and the conclusion? It seems to me that the premise is trying to say that the researchers' claim MIGHT WELL BE universal.

The argument implies that the critics would challenge the researchers' claim by doubting its univsersality. It might be something like this: the word "comprehension" represents an abstract concept, but some people apparently gesture and make a grabbing movement when they say it. This is a disproving evidence that would show that this claim is not universal, therefore it can be rejected.

Author counters by saying: hey, "comprehension" doesn't have to mean the abstract concept of understanding. It can definitely mean "catching" or "grasping." Not so fast critics, the claim of the researchers can still be universal: people just understand a word differently, and their actions regarding gesturing when expressing different words or concepts are still in accordance with what the researchers have claimed. Just because someone does gesture when expressing a word that has an abstract definition does not mean that person are thinking of the abstract definition of that word. He or she might well be expressing the physical definition instead of the abstract one. In this line of reasoning, the researchers' claim still stand and still might be universal.

AC C matches this pretty well. The author is trying to use a psychological fact (people perceive words in different definition) to reconcile a general claim (researchers' 'people gesture less with abstract concepts'") with apparently disconfirming evidence (people do NOT always gesture less when expressing abstract concepts). I find this line of reasoning the most applicable to the right answer to this question. I might be dead wrong with this, and I would love to see what others have to say about this.

Hi everyone,

I was curious to know if anyone had an idea if the LSAT will still be a remotely proctored exam post June 2022.

Appreciate your thoughts.

I applied to UVA less than a month ago and just got a waitlist email. I'm a splitter 172 LSAT/3.68 UGPA.

I read on Spivey that UVA interviews most applicants but I didn't get one.

Not freaking out about it but curious as to why this came so early. Anyone else get a UVA waitlist? Or a waitlist at a school super fast?

Is "miscellaneous" LR and game lessons and practice sets a bunch of different question types in one or is it unique types of questions?

Does anybody know what LG this is:

It's a grouping game with the two groups being junior and senior high. And it had sub categories had to do with French, German, and Russian.

Thanks!!

Hello everyone,

I recently injured my rotator cuff, and although I'm in the beginning of taking my doctor's recommended medicine, I am concerned that I will not be healed by the time of the November LSAT next weekend. Fortunately, the injury is not in my dominant arm, but it is very uncomfortable moving and even to an extent sitting still.

My question is, God forbid my injury is causing me a lot of discomfort on test day, and it distracts me and in turn negatively impacts my test score, is this something I should write a LSAT addendum on? And if so, should I include a note written by my doctor corroborating my injury and its symptoms?

What do you think?

Thank you

Am I allowed to use notes during the planning period to answer the questions? I'm thinking that possibly for some of the questions it might be helpful to look at some of my planned answers during the the 30 second planning period before actually answering.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a personal statement tutor? Are there any companies you recommend?

After PTing in the low to mid 160s, even a couple high 160's on my last 20 PT's, I have now failed to break 150 on both August and October LSAT. At this point i've lowered my test goal to a 154-155. I'm registered and scheduled to take my test in November but this would be the last test I am allowed to take until August 2022 due to lsac's rules. I am confused as to why this keeps happening especially when I felt so much more confident after my October test than august but I managed to score below my diagnostic score. Do I defer to January 2022 test or is that too late for this cycle?

The 7Sage course made me extremely proficient at LG and that was my weakest section prior to coming here. But not so much for LR or RC. Does anyone have any advice or recommendations on how to find someone or something as good as this course is at teaching LG, but for LR and RC? Already tried Kaplan, they're no good. Tried the PowerScore Bibles, no good. Tried LSAT Trainer, ehhh, gave me a slight improvement to master the first 10-12 questions for LR but not so much beyond those.

My problem with LR is that I go through the first 10-12 questions averaging -1 or -2 on a consistent basis but have a huge drop off for the next 12-14 questions thereafter and end up going -10 through -12 EVERY SINGLE TIME.

My problem with RC is that I go -2 or -3 on 6 question passages, -3 or -4 on 7 to 8 question passages and I can only finish 3 passages total and end up guessing on one passage.

I am opening to a tutor or study buddy, or anyone who can help me. I was told by someone that the reasons I am getting the first 10-12 questions for LR is because I have a strong basic understanding of LR but not an advanced understanding of LR and therein lies my problem.

BTW, I am a twice 140 scorer and my latest LSAT score was 145, a 5 point improvement. I am trying to get to a 155-160 and I have one last LSAT attempt.

Thanks

I recently did this question and I'm still confused to how it could be choice B.

"the argument relies on the testimony of experts whose expertise is not shown to be sufficiently broad to support their general claim."

What do they mean by sufficiently broad? Sufficiently broad enough? Doesn't it seem like their argument is TOO broad? That large institutions such as universities and schools tend to get hacked therefore security needs to be a top priority?

Does anyone know when 91-94 will be released? I take the October exam in 2 weeks...

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?

Any ideas on the timeline?

is 7sage adding these?

Apologies if this has been asked before, any eta on when 91+ and 92+ will be available to review or score on 7sage? Just finished 91+ & plan to do 92+ before November as these are the most recent tests avaliable.

I'm guessing LSAC hasn't released a curve so it would be kinda hard to score it. Anyone remember Powerscore's prediction or have a prediction for the curve? I breezed through the LG & LR for 91+ but that RC was one of the hardest I've had. Usually average -2/3 but got -5 on this RC. The taxidermy and Patent protection passages were brutal.

Just looking for general thoughts on 91+ and if anyone wanted to discuss/compare?

Hi all, I noticed that the questions that I typically get wrong in LR are the ones that -for the life of me- I can't understand on my first couple of reads. So I can't come up with a good pre-phrase and it makes it significantly harder for me to choose the right answer.

For example, I recently did PT 81 and the first LR section had questions that, after review, were very understandable but I just couldn't get it. I'll read each sentence, but then put together i'm thinking "what the heck is this stim even getting at?" Have any of you been in this position and are able to come up with a way to view the stim differently/ force your brain to rewire the way you approach it?

Any insight is much appreciated- TIA!

Hi everyone. I will take the LSAT on Nov 12th. I have started to prepare in August. In this short time, I finished a book and watched 7Sage videos. I did 2 PTs and got 145. I have only 10 days from now to improve my score to 153 and I need your advice. Do you think it is possible? Thank you and good luck!

Hi,

I'm an international student registered for the November LSAT. I was planning to take the test in the US, but unfortunately I'm not able to fly the States this month due to unforeseen circumstances and was going to reschedule the exam to January before the test date change deadline.

I just received an email from LSAC saying that my address/time zone listed on my candidate file is located outside of the US (I haven't updated my US testing location address yet), and if I don't reply and confirm the physical address from which I will be testing before this Sunday, my "November LSAT registration will be rescinded and the test registration fees, if applicable, will be refunded."

In this case, should I just not reply to the email to get a $200 refund (not sure if I'm applicable for the refund) and register for the January LSAT before November 11 instead of rescheduling the test date?

Will the cancellation go on my record file and count towards a lifetime limit?

I want to make sure I'm not violating any rules.. :) Any advice and suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

All apps have that question and obviously Dean's list etc goes on. What about awards and distinctions from extra curriculars? I mean things like sports disnitctions or maybe choir/drama like a special distinction or award for performing arts participation/commitment? Would it be reasonable to include those here?

Thanks in advance!

After months of studying. I am still having problem how to set some of the games up. Especially when it comes to sequencing and others. If someone out there wants to help or to study together, I would appreciate it. Thank You.

This helped me with a rc speed a lot at no detriment to comprehension that might help others! I trace the entire passage with my finger tracing my computer screen, my speed has increased and it helps me keep my speed at a consistent pace. Try it out!
