After reading the stimulus, I thought one reason why the foundation decided not to rebuild the original organ was perhaps it would cause damage to the other parts of the church. I am just very confused as to why D is incorrect; if the design of the organ had been modified several times before it was destroyed, couldn't that be a potential reason why the foundation decided not to rebuild it? because it could not match the original?

With a little less that a month to go until the January LSAT I am wondering how much people tend to increase their scores during the final month of study. Right now I typically am PTing about 164 with my highest being a 167. I am shooting for a 170. I know I have the ability to do it and I just need to really commit and set my mind to it. I have taken off work for the first few weeks of January so that I will be able to solely focus on the LSAT during that time and with working from home at the moment I still have a decent amount of time to study throughout the end of the year.

I'd love to hear about people's experiences during that final month of study and what their actual score was compared to what they were PTing a month prior.

Thanks and good luck to all.

Hi! I am taking the January LSAT and I am currently scoring in the mid 150's my goal is a 160+ on the test. I'm looking for an accountability partner/study buddy. We can check in with one another to make sure we're doing what we can to stay on track, blind review or go over specific questions. HMU if you're interested

I did a diagnostic and scored in the 140's. Would be great to have accountability partners to keep each other on track, and help each other out with questions. I am in the PST time zone, but can work with EST as well depending on available hours.

Thanks!

Hi all,

I need some help with this question. i watched and read the explanations, and while i now understand how to eliminate the other choices, i still don't quite get why answer C is the necessary assumption. Here's how i broke down the passage --

Context: Some nuclear reactors are in geologically quiet region, which only has minor faults and lives far away from plates.

Premise: no minor fault in this region produces earthquake more than once in any 100000 year period. That means there is at least a 100000 year waiting period between earthquakes.

Conclusion: in this region, potential nuclear sites near a fault that produced an earthquake in living memory are least likely to be struck.

So i imagine that X is a nuclear site in a quiet region near a minor fault that produced an earthquake in living memory, say 100 years. From the premise, X will not be struck by another earthquake for at least 99900 years. That's pretty unlikely. But i need to compare it to other sites, so this is where the necessary assumptions come.

C: in this region, every potential nuclear site is near 1 or more minor fault.

The negation test means there is a nuclear site Y in this region that's not near any minor fault. But the passage says nothing about the frequency of earthquakes in areas without minor faults. For instance, if Y's area has earthquakes every year, even though there are no faults, X would be less likely to be struck than Y. But that means the conclusion still holds, failing the negation test.

Am i wrongly using the negation test for this question? Hopefully someone can explain my error here. Thanks a lot.

LR Tips

Hello! I am taking the Jan 2021 Flex, and have been studying for awhile now. I am aiming to get into the low 170s, but consistently score within the 165-167 range. The biggest reason for this is because of my logical reasoning. I have gone through the 7sage curriculum several times, and am still having trouble on LR. I don't have an issue completing it on time, but rather identifying the right answer within two or three answers left after elimination. Does anyone have any tips on what else I can do to improve it? Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone,

I have been studying for the LSAT for almost a year. I started with the LSAT trainer, then Princeton review 165+ courses, went through the Powerscore books and even self studied. I had been getting 150-155 on my PTs. I took the August flex and got a low 140. Then, I had hired a tutor for loads of money and I did the November flex. I was aiming for a high 150 as I had consistently gotten a score around there. I ended up with a 145. I have now purchased 7sage and I'm half way through the course material. I have done about 30 PTs now and I am taking the test again in January. This is my final shot to push hard and I'm aiming high. This is my only priority and I am focusing on solely the LSAT from now on. I have reluctant to post as I have on other forums and have gotten lots of negative feedback and genuinely negative comments. The 7sage community seems super helpful and positive in the forms, so I just wanted to reach out and get any advice I can. I am horrible at RC, I do super well on LG and I do okay on LR. I spend the entire day studying, maybe (13-14 hours a day). Any tips and/or positive encouragement is most welcomed haha. Wishing everyone the best of luck for any future LSATs they may have to take!

Hi all,

Does anyone have tips on studying for an online test? How are you taking the practice tests? How are you doing the drills? Are you printing anything out, or is it all digital? I've never taken a digital test and am very pessimistic about the format.

I'm hoping fellow Sagers can share some study tips that have helped them make the adjustment.

Thanks!

Hi! I am taking the January LSAT and I am currently scoring in the mid 150's the most consistently and my goal is to get atleast a 160 on the test. I'm looking for an accountability partner just so we can check in with one another to make sure we're doing what we can to stay on task leading up to the test! LMK if you're interested (:

I'm taking the January exam and have been really trying to grind but find myself getting easily distracted. I've been scoring high 150s but I'm aiming for mid 160s. If anyone is interested in being an accountability buddy let me know! I'm also down to create a GroupMe or Whatsapp group for all things LSAT and law school applications. We don't have to feel alone in this whole process :)

The school that I’m interested in released their 509 aba.

I don’t understand what the below stats means. Does it mean that out of the ones that were offered admission, only 433 actually enrolled? Also if this is the case. why are they offering admissions to so many when their school can only handle a certain amount of first year students?

Completed Applications 3055

Offers of Admission 1330

Total in First-year class 433

I'm okay with RC, and I know that my LG will improve with practice, but I've really been struggling with improving my Logical Reasoning section.

Do any of you who have had success with that section have any advice?

Isn’t it a bit silly that they created new, more intellectual sounding words for things which already exist? It’s a d*** passage! Just call it that, you pretentious assholes!

Also, “question stem” instead of question? They might as well call talking “idea exchange” and thinking “stimuli sorting.”

Haha, sorry. Rant over. Logical reasoning is kicking my ass.

Good luck on your studies!

As always mentioned in this discussion forum, the first 10 questions of the LR section are usually the easiest. I get to the last 5-10 and start really struggling. I am not sure if it is fatigue or difficulty of the questions. Any tips on this? I have seen that people say to follow your gut on the first 10 so you have more time with the last questions.

Hi All - I had a few questions regarding the FLEX format and would love some insight from anyone who has taken it. Please feel free to post your own questions as well !

-What was the format like ? Is it similar to 7Sage ?

-Is there a highlighting feature / writing feature?

-If I take a PT on lawhub - is that in the FLEX format ?

-In regards to scrap paper - I know we are allowed 5 sheets - but for LR , diagramming etc, did you have enough room on your scrap along with enough room for LG?

-Any general advice / tips at all would be great !

Hi everyone! I have been studying for over a year and am preparing to take my second LSAT next month. I'm so proud of myself because I have improved about 14 points through self-study. I am now in the high 160s and have been here for about 3 months. I know I can improve but I've really struggled to make that final jump into the 170s. I'd love to hear advice from folks who have accomplished this. Thank you so much in advance for the help!!

I am a URM and wanted to draft a diversity statement. However, my topic is not race related, but is based on a situation at work during my pregnancy where I was clearly discriminated against by my employer. Would this story count as a diversity statement? After I wrote it, I was worried it may come across more as a Personal Statement. Especially since, the type of law I want to go into is labor and employment and I tied the end of the statement into how the situation contributed to why I want to be a labor and employment lawyer. I know @"David.Busis" says this is a good thing to do in his admissions course, but I'm not sure if this would be right in this case.

Additional info: my Personal Statement also discusses why I want to be a labor and employment lawyer but the narrative is based on a situation I grew from while working as an HR practitioner.
