So on law school applications you have to fill out your LSAT score but what do you do for cancelled scores? Just fill in the date and leave the score field blank? Thanks!

Hope this post finds everyone well!

I have plateaued at the 158-160 range and am looking to jump to the mid-high 160s before the January test. I am averaging -7 on LR, -10 on LG, and -7 on RC. Any tips on what worked for you?

Thanks in advance!

Hello all,

I’ve noticed recently the more I practice LR questions in the morning, the better my performance is. For LG I can either do it in the morning or afternoon, and my performance doesn’t oscillate as much.

Has anyone else realized this for LR? If you haven’t, I suggest trying it because you may not be practicing at the optimum time.

Hello! Looking for suggestions for places to take the LSAT. Preferably places you've tried before and had no connectivity/noise issues.

Hey guys! I'm meeting with the senior dean of admission from William and Mary today and was wondering if anyone had any ideas about what I should ask. I have a list of questions about things I'm interested in (culture, clinics/programs, etc.), but if anyone has anything they think would be worth asking let me know. If you have a question of your own I will even ask it and get back to you with the answer.

Thanks!

Can anyone explain how it's B and not D

I broke it down like this

I thought of it as MC for the end because it would justify why they did all this

.

For Q8, I have difficulty deciding between B and C. I have some disagreement with some words in both of B and C, which makes it even harder to pick.

Based on my notes, I wrote down the MP of Passage A as "Intro to market and advocate for its abilities to forecast and efficiency to learn."

Mp of Passage B as "against to think market as too different from other polls. Fallible."

However, it does not help much to answer Q8.

(B) what can be learn from studying the movement of stock markets?

(C) Can markets be used to elicit reliable information?

For B, I understand that both passages discuss markets in general instead of stock markets. However, we do know the authors of both passages are mainly concern about what the movement of markets represent. For author A, the movement of a market forecasts, learns from collective wisdom. For author B, the movement of a market, the movement represents the populace opinion of a certain time period. But the main problem remains that they are not talking about stock markets, but markets in general.

For C, the question is about markets in general, which is a correct description of both passages. And I am confident that author A agrees and mainly focuses on illustrating the fact that market can be use to elicit reliable information. However, I am not quite confident about what author B thinks. Author B says that market is more of a reflection of people's opinion of the time, which means that it can either be right or wrong. And she also says that market is fallible. But I would not say author B argues that markets can't be used to elicit reliable information? It is too strong for passage B in my opinion. But it did come out to be the correct answer choice. Please help me out with this.

For Q22, I was completely lost after finishing reading the answer choices. I was attracted to D. Please help me with E!

Thank you for reading my post and discuss the questions with me. These are the only two questions I got wrong in the section, so if you have any questions about the section, I am glad to help! Good luck!

Hey everyone,

Is there a deadline for completing the LSAT writing? Like can I do it after I take the test? Or do I need to get it done before test day? I know the LSAC wants me to complete it ASAP, but I'd rather not. Kind of rude of me I guess, but I'm just wondering if I could do it in the week after the test so I don't have to add any stress to my plate for this week (taking it Friday). Thank you for any info!

Can someone please explain why B is the correct answer and why A/C are not? Thanks! Also does claim=conclusion?

Please join and study with us!! I love having people to discuss the concepts I learn and to drill with!

I just finished my fifth PT and am really happy with how I'm progressing, but still have a lot of room for improvement. I've been diligently using my analytics to identify which content sections I need to review/what types of questions to drill, but am wondering if it's better to do my studying in sections (ex. do 5 days of RC, three days of MBT/MBF questions, 2 days of RRE questions, etc.) before my next PT (I've been taking one every two weeks), or jump around (RC one day, MBT/MBF the next, RRE the third day, LG the fourth, then back to RC, for ex.).

Any ideas? I really want to study as efficiently as possible but am still not sure what works best for me.

Hi everyone! I recently scored 169 (95th percentile) on the October lsat and my GPA is 3.8. I just got an email inviting me to apply from freaking Yale of all places. I know those are good credentials, but I was barely considering applying to the bottom of T14, so I was shocked to receive even a generic email from Yale. So, do we think that they might be widening up the applicant pool this year? Maybe we’ll end up having a lucky admissions cycle. What do you guys think?

Hi Everyone!

So I'm a bit confused on the scoring. I took PT 91 and PT 92.

PT 91 I received a 54/75 which was a 158

PT 92 I received a 53/75 and my score was a 159.

How is this possible? I missed -10/RC and -9/LR on both, then one I missed 3 on LG and the other I missed 2. How did I get a higher score when I missed more questions??

I took my diagnostic 3 months ago and got 151 for actual score, 164 for BR. Three months later, I have gotten through 35% of the material and decided to take my first PT. I was sure I'd score much higher than diagnostic because I was doing really well with LR and LG. However, I scored 150... literally one point lower than my diagnostic. I didn't even bother doing the BR because I was so depressed over the test.

Even though I've gotten MUCH better at answering questions correctly, my timing has gotten MUCH worse. For example, in LG section I only had time to do 2 of the 4 games. For the games I did finish, I got nearly all the questions right. But of course that doesn't mean much when you're leaving half the questions blank. So why am I getting slower? I feel very demoralized right now..

Hey! Looking for a weekly paid LSAT tutor. Does anyone have any recommendations? Am looking to take my test in January or February. Have been studying off and on the last few months, but would like to have some 1:1 assistance. Am in Washington D.C., so can do in-person, but am happy to do virtually as well!

SCARED. I have been averaging in the mid 160's and I just got a 145 on a PT test. I DID HORRIBLE for the RC section and now idk what to do for the upcoming days. Do I continue to drill? or is that gonna burn me out?

Hi everyone! I'm taking the November LSAT and am starting to think about all the little test-day details and how to deal with ProctorU.

Does anyone know at what point we're allowed to wear ear plugs? I'm panicking because if I have to do it during test time, it would take up precious seconds!

Would someone please help explain the conditional logic on this one ? It shows AC A is correct.

Any tips for specifically the law articles in reading comp? All the other types of articles I have no problem on but I feel like I am completely missing everything but the main point of the law articles. Ironic with this being for a law test so I would really like to remedy!

Why isn't "FIGHK" possible? I think the answer should be C instead of E, help, I am loosing it...

I just wanted to double check but a cover letter is not required for resumes unless it is specifically asked for, correct?

Hi,

I am having trouble understanding which part does "a generalization with apparently disconfirming evidence" refer to in the stimulus. And that is why I did not choose C even after broke down every sentence in the stimulus.

Here is my thought process to the question:

Structurally, the stimulus has three parts:

Factually,

I quickly eliminated A because the argument is not about "the ambiguity of a word". I eliminated D and E as well because they are too far from being correct based on my familiarity of the scenarios they usually describe in the LSAT.

But then I can choose between B and C because I could not match the abstract language from either answer choice to the original argument.

For B, the author does appeal to something in the premise to support the conclusion. However, the supporting premise is more of a factual evidence rather than a universal generalization.

For C, the author is using a psychological fact, but the second part of the answer choice is really difficult for me to process. I couldn't find a reconciliation between a "generalization" and "apparently disconfirming evidence". To me, the premise perfectly supports the conclusion and I can't see why it is apparently disconfirming.

I also have a disagreement with the discussion above about the author actually agree with those scientists' claim about the correlation. The author just says that not being universal does not reject the existence of such a correlation. Correct me if I am wrong please! So instead of simply agreeing with the scientists, the author points out that even if the correlation is not "universal", the correlation still exists because people describe the correlation in various ways.

Lastly, for questions of method of reasoning, we need to identify the way the author makes her point. In this argument, the author uses an example to argue that the correlation can still exist even if it is not universal. However, C says that the author try to reconcile the generalization and the fact, which is different from my understanding of using the fact to support her conclusion, so I eliminated C and chose B eventually.

I appreciate anyone who read and answer my questions! Thank you!

I heard that literary devices were not tested on the LSAT and not to worry about high level advanced vocabulary.

However, I was reading a study guide that gave an explanation of author's attitude and tone by way of a literary device for which I had to look up the meaning.

I was not an English or Philosophy major. The high level vocabulary and metaphors are destroying my progress and success. I am able to handle/understand the context cues as per science and legal jargon, but it's the thousands of other words that concern me. Even for words that I thought I was familiar with, the connotations flip and throw me for a loop.

Any suggestions please......?????

We meet twice a week.
