Hi, could someone please help explain what exactly does the stimulus here "for how many of the individuals can it be exactly determined where his or her team places" really ask?

I though it asked those individuals whose specific teams can be determine. But by this read, only S's team is determined while the second-placed and third-placed teams still can't be determined.

I would really appreciate if someone can help. Thanks for your time.

Hi everyone,

Given November 2021 LSAT will be administered in four sections, including an experimental-unscored one, do you think it's good idea to do Prep tests simulating LSAT-Flex on 7Sage? (Because we don't know whether the experimental section will be in LR)

Or, continuing to drill with four section format is still better?

I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Thanks!

Took two PT's: PT4 & PT5. Both as Flex.

On PT4 I got -8 overall and received a total score of 169.

On PT5 I got -11 overall and received a score of 170.

I figure some of this would be due to weighting of questions with some tests being harder than others, which is I believe why we don't use 'raw scores', but this still seems kind of off? Is that degree of variation in scoring that common?

Mainly concerned because I am shooting for 170+ and had kind of been working on the assumption that I need to be dropping less than 10 questions to ensure that - generally this seems to be the case in most PT's I have done. Clearly that was a flaw in my reasoning!

Hey guys,

How can we tell the difference between a causal assertion and a “if then” statement?

I chose D by intuition, but I did struggle for a long while.

JY mentions “causation” between using a car phone & pose a threat to safe driving during his explanation.

In essence, if A causes B, then decrease A also decrease the likelihood of B.

Yes, if we explain it in such a manner, then it makes sense to me.

However, I wonder how do we know “using a car phone seriously distracts the driver, which in turn poses a threat to safe driving” is not a “if then” statement?

If using car phone –> pose threat to safe driving

If this is the case, /using car phone does NOT lead to /pose threat to safe driving (the oldest trick in the book)

Hello everyone,

I met someone in South Korea who got 180 on the LSAT. He said he copied down four RC passages from each LSAT practice test with hand. He called it a "Dictation Exercise." He said he was able to significantly boost his LSAT score from 172 in April test to 180 in June test. Do you think copying down RC passages with hand will help? I don't think he was lying and I intend to do what he did, but I would like everyone's opinion.

I am applying ED to Boston University through the distinguished scholars program, which would grant me a full scholarship if I am admitted. I am wondering if I should still write a why BU essay or if it is unnecessary since I'm applying ED?

Hi folks

Does anyone have any tips for reading in a more focused manner on a computer screen for RC passages? Does anyone track the lines with their finger on the screen? Any idea if that should be a problem for during the actual exam?

Any tips would be much appreciated!

If most apps are due by Feb and March, could one turn in their application with an LSAT score on file, but still try to take the LSAT again after submitting apps? I wanted to do it to negotiate scholarships with a potential higher score, but was scared that the application wont be viewed and would be missing the deadline if I signed up to take it after submitting apps.

Hello!

I had begun the law school application process last year, but opted for a gap year instead. On my LSAC account, I still have my LORs from last year. I'm planning on using the same recommenders, but how do I go about updating these LORs? Is this done from the recommender end? Do I need to instruct my recommenders to delete and re-upload? Or, am I supposed to "hide" these LORs and print out and email new LOR requests?

This process is all new to me and I would appreciate any insight. Thank you!

I am coming to terms that I have serious difficulty with sufficient assumption questions. IS there anyone that can help?

I’ve gone back over my notes but I’m still lost.

Hey y'all. I'm scoring -7/-6 wrong in LR at the moment. I'm looking to bring that number down to -3. Is there anyone that would like to go over sections with me?

Hello everyone, I'm wondering if I should re-procure letters of recommendation for the up-coming cycle. I applied extremely late last cycle (like mid-post march), and I plan on re-applying this year. Would you recommend asking for new letters of recommendation, or will my letters from earlier this year be sufficient?

What does "Psg/Game/S/Difficulty" mean?

Folks,

I'm at the point where I understand the RC...I'm not doing too bad at -4 or -5 if I have 40-44 minutes. But unfortunately we only get 35 minutes, so my question is: How do I close this gap?

When I do the timed version, I either relax and miss a whole passage or rush and miss 10-13...that's a pretty big delta.

Anyone got any advice?

I completely missed this! Does anybody have any notes/screencaps/information they can share from it? It would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Best,

Jordan

I actually was watching the movie and recognized a logic game set she was doing and I was like I been studying way too much for this test lol smh

Hey everyone,

As you all know, applications for Fall '22 have opened in the beginning of September. I plan on taking my LSAT in November and sending in my applications once I receive the score. However, is it possible to send in the application without my LSAT score? If its possible, is this recommended? What do you guys think? Should I wait for my LSAT score before sending in my applications or go ahead and submit the applications now and my LSAT score will automatically be sent when I take it.

Ty all!

Dear all,

Might anyone have advice on sitting for the October LSAT in Asia at a timeslot outside the timings offered?

The current timings take place from 11pm to 5.30am, which are probably the most unearthly hours to take a test.

I've contacted LSAC but they've asked me to reach out to ProctorU instead. Was thinking of asking them on Monday, but can anyone share their experiences and suggestions on what might be done?

The video explanation was pretty terrible for this one. He really brushes over why answer choice B is correct. Can someone elaborate? Surely the profits of the lightbulb are relevant to the argument that people should change the type of lightbulbs they use, right?

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

I have a question on interpreting this point:

At least two compositions are performed either after F and before R, or after R and before F.

I think normally the LSAT is going for F-X-X-R or R-X-X-F (with min 2-X) but being extra cautious in doing this problem I also included a possibility of X-X-R-F-X-X and X-X-F-R-X-X since it doesn't indicate the two compositions must be the same nor must they be between them. Is this incorrect to interpret it this way? Is it safe to assume it will ways be referring to just the first set ups? (F-X-X-R)

Hi!

I am taking my first test in October and I am currently scoring where I want to score.. but should I register for the November LSAT just in case I don't score in my target? Or should I register for the January one so its not too rushed. I dont want to waste a take.

I live in Canada, so the application is different than in the US. The schools I am applying to still take the January LSAT.

Thanks!

So, I've always gone about LR in a kind of unstructured way, I've never formally studied for it and reliably go about -2 to -4 since my diagnostic. I don't actively think about LR in a technical way, like trying to identifying premises and conclusions, highlighting stuff, mapping out lawgic, thinking about trigger words and question types etc. I've continued to depend on a formless sort of instinct for what is right and wrong. I'm sure some of these considerations operate at the back of my mind, but it's nothing deliberate. Although this has served me well until now, as the test approaches I feel doubts about the sustainability of this approach. I feel like even if a resource doesn't improve my scoring range, devoting some time to seriously studying LR would salve my fears and firm up my confidence for the test.

I have Powerscore, the Trainer and naturally 7Sage. What I'm curious about is the Loophole. Do you guy's think it's worth buying that getting through before the November LSAT in my situation? Or any other resource with the Nov test in mind? LG is still my weakest section and I've been grinding it for the past month.

I have been studying for the LSAT for the past couple of months. I'm looking for someone who's down to take an LR section and talk through questions together. I prefer a West coast person since that would make scheduling sessions easier. Every week we would meet twice (ideally Wednesday/Thursday) mornings. I can do zoom, and if you are in Southern California (SD area), we can also meet in person. PM me if you are serious about making a commitment twice a week and improving our scores together :)

Hi so I’m currently planning on taking the LSAT in November and plan to retake in January as well and I have already been approved for my accommodations which is great. The only problem is that I originally was doing a different prep course and it started out very well but started to feel like I was wasting my time and not getting anywhere so I stopped that bought a couple of power books and have been reading those. They definitely are helping but I just felt I needed more direction and kept hearing good things about 7Sage so I bought it to give it a shot. I was wondering whether you think it’s best to follow the sage outline or just jump around and play around with the system

If I upload my transcripts to LSAC, purchase a CAS account, fill out applications etc, and decide to apply next cycle as opposed to this, will I need to repeat this entire effort or only parts of it?
