Does JY formally address how to tackle these types of dual passages on recent LSAT tests?

The question gives you an initial claim as well as a principle to go with it. The stem asks for you to pick an AC that could be appropriately used as a premise for an argument that uses the principle in the stimulus. I see this as more of a pseudo-weakening question because we're trying to supply a premise for a (non-existent) counter to the original claim.

Claim: County X lowered tariff barriers because it was good for foreign companies.

Principle: To confirm that someone advantaged from a change that was made, one must show how their interests played a role in bringing about said change.

I understand why AC 'E' is correct, but in what way does this question fall into the strengthening category?

Does it matter what law school you go to?

Hi Guys,

I just signed up for 7sage and I think the course is fantastic. I'm preparing to sign up for the October lsat or even the November lsat. The course is telling me to do 55 hours a week to prepare and I simply cannot do that. The maximum number of hours I could reasonably study per week is about 30, since I'm taking summer school and I wouldn't want to risk burnout. I already do fairly well on the Reading Comprehension, I just need a lot of practice on Logic Games and Logical Reasoning. Given that I have about 3.5 months to study, is 25-30 hours a week enough? I'm aiming for a 165+ on the lsat. I got in the low 140s for the diagnostic, however, it was my very first test. Any thoughts would be very appreciated!

Thank you

Hello,

How is everyone who is taking the october LSAT testing and determining your score?

I understand that the october lsat consists of 3 graded portions and one experimental. However, how do you guys account this when you are PTing? I have been doing the 4 sections just to help me have more mental endurance, but the score for 4 sections wont be the same scale as one for 3 sections( if you all know what i mean).

Please share your process, Thank you in advance!

Paragraph 1:

This mostly relates to #2

The explanation video states that evidence for answer choice E lies in lines 5-8 in the first paragraph, but how I can infer that even musicians didn't know about the London Pianoforte School? Could I infer from the content of the passage that the author is in the field of music?

#4: How could I tell that the question wants me to focus on a causal relationship?

Hi 7Sage!

My last PT was a 152 and my current and highest BR score stands at 171. Trying to get above a 162 on real test day. Is it that possible for someone who is more of a slower reader and does not have the best focus endurance?

Obviously a big gap that can be found in timing issues.

So my main question is: what are some good timing drills you do in RC, LR, and LG that helped you get better at speed and timing?

Thanks!

Hi there,

Quick question, can you apply for both Part-Time and Full-time programs at the same law school? Or do you have to decide on one before applying? Thank you.

Hello guys, I have. I have been studying for over 3 months. I am okay with most of the material except necessary question type. When I get to level 3 difficulty I am 60-40, right to wrong and thus inversely to difficulty. I am having difficulty spotting the assumptions. Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

hi all, i took a PT and scored a 154. however, my BR score is a 169. does anyone have any recommendations on bridging this? appreciate it !

Currently at 165-166 and aiming to get to 170+ by August. Is it possible to make the jump? Regardless I plan on taking October to shoot for low to mid 170's

I just took the June LSAT yesterday and I was wondering if there is a deadline for the writing portion. I thought we had a year but the website just says to take it as soon as possible. I was planning on doing it over the weekend, but I just want to make sure that we are allowed to do it a couple days after the test. I get that we need the writing approved to see our score. But other than that, is there a deadline to take the writing by?

Some of my LOR assignment terms have since expired. Does anyone know how to add a school/term for a new term? Whenever I look up a school I am unable to add it to my school list. I don't know what to do at this point. Any help would be awesome. Thanks everyone.

I had connection issues last weekend, and I need to decide whether or not I am going to opt into the retest that they offered me.

Do we know how common connection issues actually are for the FLEX?

(The issues I experienced were clearly related to ProctorU/LSAC servers, not my personal setup)

Thanks!

Am I the only one who has put months into LG and is just not seeing a return on investment? I am consistently between -3 and 5 on LR, and -4 and 6 on RC, but my BEST on LG has been -6 and it's usually more like -9. LG is killing my score, and everyone said it was the easiest section to improve upon. I'm feeling very defeated at this point. Anyone been through this?

So I have been following the memory method as best I can but this strategy seems to fall flat when it comes to the more difficult RC passages. I have particular trouble on two of them and would like to know if anyone can pitch in. Both are from the Hard Reading Comprehension Problem Set 3. I've watched the explanation videos discussing the passage and questions for both but the videos glaze over several issues I had understanding the passage. I've also looked for explanations on other sites but have found them to be extremely fragmented and incomplete. I also tried study groups, both group and individual, and have found them to be about as helpful as those outside sites because we end up butting heads on the same answer choices and are unable to come to a real resolution. I have tried putting the passages away for a few weeks but got the exact same questions wrong when re-attempting them...and I've tried asking for help in the comments below the videos but have received no responses...I had my hopes up a few weeks back because I had two individuals on the forum reach out to me stating they were willing to help, but one has not responded to my messages since and the other that did respond is now permanently unavailable.

I have my own thoughts on each of the questions but have no one to check these thoughts with so I am fumbling around in the dark here so would appreciate any help

I was recently sent an email regarding an option to retest for the June LSAT due to technical problems. First I wanted to know if I took the retake would it count as a second attempt for the LSAT. And second, if I kept whatever the score would be (which was one of the options), would I get a voucher for a future exam date? Based on the wording of the email, it seems like if I just keep the score I would not get a voucher or something for a future test date, I would need to cancel for the voucher. Also would canceling and getting the voucher mean I have to test in August or can it be just a future date like October?

The options seem to be:

Retest on Thursday, June 24, 2021.

Keep your June 2021 LSAT-Flex score.

Cancel your June 2021 LSAT-Flex score and be registered for the next available LSAT administration. Please Note: If you have reached your test-taking limit, we will not be able to register you for an upcoming LSAT, per our Test Taking Limit (TTL) policy. More information can be found here: Limits on Repeating the Test.

Hello I have completed the LSAT and would like to unsubscribe to monthly payments but cannot find where to do that. Any help would be appreciated before my next payment hits

Do we get to view the test after the score is released (to know what went wrong) ?

How long should the LSAT Writing Essay be? The reason I am asking is because I have extra time (1.5x), and I don't want to make the writing sample too long. Thanks so much. #help

I'm sure i'm not the only one who has watched JY copy and paste master game boards and wished there was a quicker way to test rules in Logic Games on pen and paper.

My question is: does anyone know if tablets that allow you to draw on them and use copy and paste functions are allowed on test day?

I would love to find a better way to notate logic games but i don't want to purchase some kind of tablet if we are only allowed to use pen and paper for Logic games. If not, then does anyone have any advice/tips on how to organize their logic games scratch paper? Mine always end up messy and hard to follow. I often run out of room and can't keep track of what is going on. Any tips would be apreciated!

Hey guys! Is anybody interested studying together? Let me know! Thanks! My phone is 7187908883. Elissa

Hey y’all! I just took the LSAT Flex and wanted some input on whether I should cancel my LSAT or not.

To preface it, I’m an international student (so LSAT score matters a lot) and I have a 167 on record (in my fourth attempt) which I took in-person in Feb, 2020 in USA.

I took the LSAT Flex today in my home country and had connectivity issues which resulted in my internet connection disconnecting midway through the second section (RC). I had to end up guessing on the last few questions eventually since I ran out of time (my RCs are usually very tight time wise and the connection / disconnection thing really messed it up for me and my overall momentum for the exam).

LG went well except for again I guessed on the last 3 questions due to time constraints. My LR was good but again I messed up on time constraints on the last question.

But summing it up, since it was a sub-optimal performance on account of me blindly guessing on 8 questions at least in total which was further compounded by connectivity issues & the induced stress and considering this is my last allowed attempt so should I just cancel it? I don’t see myself improving my 167 but how bad can the consequences of canceling be (keeping the fact in mind that I’m an international student so how will a drop in score look, provided I can say that I had legit connectivity issues).

My practice score was 168 or above and blind score was 170+ in recent practice attempts.

Thank you so much! Really grateful for your input.

Been scoring in the low 170s and just cracked mid 170s with last test. RC & LG -0 or -1. Looking to improve on LR -3. Currently reviewing the Loophole again. Ideally, someone at my current level to counter my strengths and weaknesses We can reviews questions via FaceTime. I am in the Central Time. My study schedule is only 2hrs a day divided one hour in the morning and one in the afternoon. Please reach out to me if interested.

Hello everyone,

I am currently studying for the August 2021 LSAT, but find myself sometimes lacking motivation. I am looking for anyone that would like to make a study group to either go over problems, PTs, or just to provide each other with some motivation and support. I could make a GroupMe since I'm not really familiar with discord, but I would be willing to learn/try that out as well. I have tried to join other study groups on the discussion thread, but have had no luck. Let me know if you would be interested in joining a study group together!
