Bought the one time edit and do not know where to upload it
So I took the LSAT in October of this year and I got a 155. I was scoring between a 156-161 during practice tests. I had a total freakout before the test and after it LOL.
I'm not upset with my 155, I just know I can score better than that and I wanna take the test for a third and final time in January, I'm just worried if that's too late. The earliest deadline I have for the law schools I want to apply to is March 1st.
Do you guys think I should just apply now with a 155 or try again in January for a higher score and tell law schools to wait for my January score?
It's always helped me, whenever I read anything detailed, to whisper out verbally what I am reading. I have been suppressing this behavior because, for some reason, I'm still in the mindset of taking the test in person. I thought I recall reading somewhere that speaking isn't allowed on the online tests. Does anyone know if this is true? I would hate to have my sitting flagged or DQ'd because I "talked to myself" during the test. Thanks!

Hi amazing people, I am wondering if I could submit my applications now and if the schools will receive my Nov score after it is released. On the application, they only ask if I will be taking another LSAT in the future, which is no. I want to make sure that the school will receive and review the newest score but still wanting to submit as early as possible. Any advice?
Many thanks!
Can someone explain why B is the correct answer?

I have a question about Parallel Method of Reasoning.
Can two arguments be considered parallel if the premise matches exactly but one has a conclusion which states "Hence, probably...." and the other has a conclusion without the term "probably" or any other substitute for it?
In that case, the second one is more definite I suppose, so I am just confused if we should regard them as parallel?
Sorry for the lack of context or specific question but I just had this doubt
I got a B while taking an ear training class filled with music majors while I had no musical experience at my community college before transferring, and a B in a music theory class. Is there really no way for me to avoid reporting these ridiculous, meaningless courses to LSAC?
My ear training course was a 1 unit course T_T
As the header states, I didn't see any blatantly wrong with the argument. It was just a causal chain (Global warming causes temperatures to increase which causes greater proportion of precipitation to fall as rain which causes faster melting and more flooding and less storable water) and I didn't notice any significant gaps and so all the answer choices just looked and sounded correct. What do I do in a situation like this? I also thought JY's explanation for answer choice A was a stretch. I think it's correct to assume precipitation in this instance is referring to rain.

So I've been at this test for a long time and I want to get this over with in January but I'd like to end strong and have a score I can use for T-14. I've worked with tutors and they've helped but I'm kind of at the point where I'm not sure how much more tutors can do for me. I get questions incorrect, review with them and they answer me, but then I take another test and still get the same number and type of questions incorrect. I'm fine with games; I'm at the point where I can solve them on my own without watching the 7sage videos but I'm just not making any progress on LR and RC. I break even on every exam (like -3 to -4 on each section and -5 or -6 if I get stressed). I post on the forum but it's a crapshot whether I get an answer and even when I do, I'm not sure if the answers I'm getting are even correct. Could someone give me non-generic advice? Please don't tell me to practice/drill more or to read the Economist/Loophole. And please don't tell me to just delay another admissions cycle. I've done all of that. I've been through so many PT's the questions are getting muddled up.
So whenever I sit down to study and have a hard time getting something I get super stressed. I noticed that my mind looks for an escape and I just open a new tab and wander just to avoid the stress.
Anyone experience anything like this? Any advice?
Would anyone be willing to trade 'Why X' essays or simply give mine read over?
Where Can I get an explanation for this question?

Which one matters the most to schools? My degree is lower than my cumulative. I'm writing an addendum as to why that is, but I'm worried this discrepancy will hurt my chances of getting into my top choice :(
I have gone through all the books out there. The bibles, Manhattan prep, Cassidy, someone on tikTok recommended something... I legit went through them all but nothing makes sense like 7Sage.
This platform is legit, and it also makes sense like I am learning these concepts on the same machine I will use to take the test! The commentary by JY is enlightening. The discussion posts are on point. And the AI behind this thing is insane!
thank you everyone at 7Sage. This platform is worth every penny.
Is anyone here planning to take the June 2022 LSAT? If so, do you wanna be apart of a study group? I'm really new to this so any instruction on structure would be helpful!
I've really struggled with precede and how it's sometimes implemented in certain questions. Please let me know if what I have below is correct.

"Follow"
I follow 1. (Spoken as 2)
2 follows 1.
2 followed 1.
2 had/will/did follow(ed) 1.
2 is following 1.
1 is followed by 2.
"Precede"
I precede 2. (Spoken as 1)
1 precedes 2.
1 preceded 2.
1 had/will/did precede(ed) 2.
1 is preceding 2.
2 is preceded by 1.

Hello all,
Recently, I have noticed, studying around 3 hours per weekday, in the mornings, has had great results for me with little stress.
What are some of your sweet spots, in terms of hours studying per day? I’ve heard of some waking up early and studying multiple hours before work—I work full-time as well—and others saying they break up their prep into 30 minute chunks throughout the day every day. What are some of your habits?
Best,
Gabe
Hi, I am blind and I have been approved for 151% additional time; however, when I take the practice test here, the only option is between 50% additional, 100% additional, and 1XX% additional time but not 151%.
It would mean a lot if you could perhaps give that option or add an option where students can add custom time they wanna take to finish a set.
To prove my request, I can also email the accommodations letter issued from LSAC.
Please advise
Thank you for your responses!
My understanding of the stimulus is that since 365 isn't exactly divisible by 7, that leaves an "extra" day which causes the calendar to shift forward by 1 day every year and the author proposes to change that by removing that "extra" day and making it a sort of twilight zone where it doesn't fall into any year so we are left with exactly 364 days which means that January 1st and any other date will be on the same day each year. The part I am baffled by is what exactly happens to those "extra" days? Are they shuffled in before January 1st? If December 30th and 31st still exists, are they still part of the calendar year or do they fall in that twilight zone? If December 31st is the last day of the year wouldn’t this be the “extra” day in the first year?
I have been trying not to think of my test at all since taking it but I made the terrible decision to listen to the PowerScore Podcast. I have been PTing 0 to -2 on LG but this test really threw me off and I just found out the LG section I did terrible in is the one that counts. I cannot contain my tears right now, my score was riding on LG.
Hi all,
Helpful insight would be appreciated; I am practicing my "translating" my Sufficient & Necessary conditional statements.
"Only" is a "group 2" operator that introduces the necessary condition, but I'm finding it difficult to figure out why this matters in certain simplistic contexts.
Consider the statement: "Only cats meow."
M --> C
/C --> /M
But with "only" sentences, it seems like the reverse logical operation is also true.
C --> M
/M --> /C
Am I simplifying it too much? In other words, is this logical reasoning or rule only relevant when ideas are more complex?
Thanks,
For those of you who plan to slug through LSAT over the holidays and would like to foolproof games, please DM if you want to do 5 games per week for the next 7 weeks or at least attempt to get through games 1-35 at least once.
Hi, I have been studying for a few months now and have realized that i always face the same problem, that is, when i see the answers after checking the test I instantly think"oh that makes sense". I am quite sure that i really understand the answer, but i get it wrong again the next time when facing a similar question. Are there any tips that u guys can suggest on improving the score? Please leave comments below on what habits that u have either during the exam or BRing that help u much more than other methods. Thank you very much!
