Hi guys! Im looking to take the March 2022 LSAT and was looking to start a study group - maybe some people who like video studying?? (Pomodoro 50/10) I study best with people around so was wondering if anyone would be interested!
Hi All! Quick question? Regarding Lawgic and translation rules for group 3 and 4. I understand I need to pick either idea, then negate that idea etc. I am getting stuck at times if the idea I choose is already negated. Do I always remove the negation from the idea? I'm getting stuck in the rule of negating. Thanks for the help!
This is the LR question about a university president's concerns that applicant numbers are shrinking due to the low tuition costs of the university.
(A) suggests that the missing assumption is that the proposed reason for shrinking applicant numbers is true (if that proposition is false, the conclusion is false)
(D) suggests that there are no other reasons to explain the university's shrinking number of applicants (i.e. the original hypothesis is true).
These appear absolutely identical to me. Can someone explain how they are not?
Thanks!

This is question is for anyone that know the 7sage website. I want to take timed sections without going into the full PTs or having a section done without having to submit the whole test. Is it possible to do that or do I just have to use the Problem sets creator? Also I noticed that the problem sets are also timed. Can I do them untimed the first time around or is the untimed option only for BR? I want to use the analytics for the specific questions without having to do a timed section. Its hard to do that when I run out of time but I still have questions left to answer.
please share any information.
Hey you guys,
I've seen some questions and answers regarding whether LSAT Flex can be taken on full-screen.
I was not able to find any answers on the other way around.
I don't have a laptop, but instead I have an 27inch iMac. My screen is too huge to have my LSAT page full-screen.
It would just be a nightmare having to move my mouse back and forth just to click on the next button.
For those of you kind people who have an experience with taking LSAT Flex (or however you call it now - at home LSATs with your own cpts), were you able to adjust the screen size to your preference?
Thanks for the help. I might have to find some ways to rent a laptop if the above is not the case :/
Consider this chain:
A —> B—> /C or /D
I understand Demorgan's Law Regarding Contrapositives. But how do we work with the 'possible worlds' this chain represents?, particularly w/r/t moving backwards along this chain.
I believe it means 'If B, then "C not D, or D not C, or Not C not D.'. If that's correct, my next question is what would require triggering the negation of B?
If I'm presented in an AC with "Assume D", can I negate B?
In my mind, negating B requires BOTH Not C and Not D. Is that incorrect?
Also, what can I count on, if I have B? In out questions require us to move forward and backwards on these chains. It can get confusing. I would think, if B, I can't count on anything specific, because we could have not C or not D or neither. Or it appears I can count on NOT BOTH C and D.
Thank you.
Just some late words of encouragement for those taking the January exam. I tested in November and during the first section (LG) I was interrupted by the proctor 3 separate times, and not once did she pause my time. Because of this, I was unable to answer the final two Qs of the section. I was very frustrated because I was PTing at -0 to -1 on LG and believed I needed to match that on the exam to have any hope of achieving my goal score. As the next section began, I tried my best to put the disappointment behind me and focus on the rest of the exam. I’m glad I did because I remember feeling very good about how I did on the remainder of the test. And lo and behold, when the scores were released, I receive my exact goal score. Obviously, if you encounter some major issues, you are likely going to want to appeal for a retest. But if you hit some obstacles along the way, just try your best to put it behind you and focus on what’s still ahead. You never know, things might just work out in the end. Good luck!
Hi I was writing my test this morning. This was my third time writing my test and the first time writing the test the proctor asked me where my phone was and I said outside and he said to go get it and put it in the room (so thats what I thought it had to be). Today, my alarm went off (I know I should've turned off my phone so this was my fault), I asked the proctor if I could go turn it off (by voice), she said yes but show me your room after (by text). I did. I told her where my phone was (Across the room), and performed a room scan twice (showed her my laptop through the mirror). 2 min later someone came in and said you weren't allowed to do that and terminated the test. I was confused because the first proctor said yes turn off your alarm, and so I did. I called LSAC and filed a complaint.
What do you think will happen?
Hey everyone! I don't understand the difference between standard and target time. Would appreciate some clarification!
Hey you guys,
My test is tomorrow (freaking out) and I've been on reddit... I've seen people talk about using ctrl/f or command f for the reading comprehension section... does anyone know if this is allowed? I want to make sure it's okay for me to do during the test because it'll def make things quicker!!
Also, heads up for anyone who needs this: you can use ear plugs during your test! esp if you live in a noisy apartment :)
I already submitted my applications with an LSAT score already on file, but now I'm considering signing up for a future LSAT to improve my score. Will applications that are already marked "complete" still be considered even though I have an upcoming test date on file or will they put me on hold? Is this something I need to email the admissions office about?

Hi everyone, so sorry for the last minute question before my LSAT in the morning. My anxiety is conjuring up all types of questions.
My mousepad says "But first, Coffee" on it and I wanted to ask if anyone has encountered a problem with not having a completely clear mousepad.
Also, would I be able to use my wireless mouse during my test?
Anyone in Bay Area region (or anywhere else) wanna study for March? Currently scoring in the 140s. Mostly struggling with LR/RC and I recently started reading the Loophole.
Please someone help me figure out how to map out this LG! I'm so confused with the pet owners and non-pet owners and the apartments. Would this be a chart question? Or a group ordering? Question 10 and 11 specifically confuse me, please help help help :(
A couple of us got a study group together on Discord. We are going to be over prep tests once a week as well as LG,RC, and LR at least once a week. In addition, we can do accountability for individual study sessions. Let me know if interested.
hi everyone, I have never used one of these discussion forums before but i feel like i am losing my mind a little bit and am hoping maybe one of you could help me. i have always struggled with the logical reasoning section, and it seems that no matter how many practice questions i do or tests i take my score is all over the place and i am never able to consistently get 2-5 wrong. this is severely worsening my score as my other sections i am missing 0-4 questions consistently. anyone have any advice on how to conquer this section, or a new way to study logical reasoning/approach the questions? (seriously, anything would be appreciated!!!)
I've taken the LSAT a couple of times. One thing I have not done before this upcoming test is spend some time on the LSAC Lawhub portal, even if you're just running through the June 07 exam. It's worth doing, as it is one less new experience to navigate. I really think it's worth something of value for the day you sit. Both times I've taken the LSAT without familiarizing myself with the LSAC test environment, I've felt slightly disoriented at the beginning of the test.
Could someone explain the correct answer choice?

Comment below if ya'll have any questions!
I am just starting my lessons with Logic Games and I want to know the best method of attack. I know LG allows a lot of room for improvement so I know I can tackle these questions with the right approach.
I have been taking the problem sets untimed because I do not feel like I am capable of doing timed sections yet. Most of the time, I get a majority of the answers right but at double the allotted time. I intend to "foolproof" the games from the problem sets before moving on in my LG studies.
What I don't know is when I should start taking the problem sets under time constraints. I definitely struggle with making inferences. What is the best way to strengthen my inferencing skills? Just practice?
Any other recommendations?
I really really don’t want to because I’ve taken the lsat four times already. I went from a 153 to a 161 but I got waitlisted at my top choice and a safety and I’m starting to really worry about all my other apps? I know I can improve at least 3-4 points for sure but is it worth it?
I took Prep Test 72 on LawHub and linked my account to 7Sage, now it wants me to take Prep Test 72 again? I want to review my answers/do blind review. How do I do this? I would prefer to take my tests on LawHub so I can get familiar with the test format.
Title says it all lol. I sit tomorrow and had a nightmare about logic games last night, and the night before dreamt I ran out of time.
Ironically, logic games is my best section and I’m not nearly as nervous as I have been in past LSAT administrations, but could seriously do without these pesky nightmares on LSAT eve. 😇
