Where is the databank? Also when doing a study schedule why does it just go down the line and not introduce us to reading comprehension and logic games earlier in the process?

I just wanted to see if there was any way to access CC for the video lessons? I'm limited in when I can hear the videos, so was curious if there was a way to do this

Thanks!

Hey friends

I need someone to BR with! Or, we can form a group :)

It can be in the evenings on skype/imessage, or in person (if you are from mtl)

I am writing this september, and likely again in october or november

I need a 165~ to get into U of T

I last scored 152ish when I wrote, and am focusing on mastering my LR theory before I got back to doing PTs. So far, i am doing lots better!

Pros:

How much would it affect my chances if I were to apply in November/December as opposed to October/November?

I’m asking more specifically towards the T14 schools.

Please advise on how to do the highlight function, I bought the tablet to do the beta tester and it's not working :( using Chrome and Android. In the 7sage app it doesn't work either

Hi fellow LSATers,

I think I might have posted this question on Khan Academy, but I don't think I've ever heard back, so here it is:

Khan Academy has these 5 section practice tests that we can take for free online. Any of you know whether these tests are from the past LSAT exams, or whether they were created separately by Khan Academy for the practice purposes. If the former, do you know if there is a way for us to find out which PTs they are from?

Thanks!

Daniel

Not sure how to word this but;

how do you all set up your in-out board to represent a not both rule when the rule has an and/or statement in it.

For example If A is in then B and C are out or vise versa.

If it was just A -> /B then I know I can put A/B in my out group, but I'm not sure how to represent it when there's an and involved.

Does that make sense?

I've found that the Problem set creator automatically gives you under 35 minutes to complete single LR section. Is there a way to change that so it's the full 35 minutes?

Hi Everyone,

I want to help others with understanding LR and would love to help people see improvement. I have been studying for the LSAT for over a year, and average around -3/-5 on LR and have scored in the upper 160s (167 highest) thus far. Obviously I am not a master at LR but am hoping to help people who are maybe just beginning see some things I wish I saw when I first started studying. Hoping we can improve together! Message me for details and if you want to get started!! :)

Hi peeps, I've been having big fluctuations in my PT performance. I'm a night owl, and have been forcing myself to get up early (and go to bed earlier) to start doing tests from 9:30am. I've also done tests in the afternoon, when I'm less stressed and more awake, the highest and lowest difference would be 165-153. I feel that even though I can get up even earlier in the morning and prepare for the test, the general stress I feel in the morning is just much worse. (I guess morning isn't really for me.) How can I manage/control my mornings better as a night owl?

I took the online writing yesterday, and I forgot to show both sides of the paper during the room examination recording. I showed it as soon as the test actually started, but I’m not sure if that will still count. I was just nervous, and I forgot to do it during the room examination. Should I contact LSAC on Monday and ask if this is still okay?

I'm only 40% of the starter curriculum and the test is now in a month! I know I can't get through 100% of the curriculum simply because I don't have enough time in the day to dedicate to studying since I have other responsibilities. Anyone else feel nervous? (Also first time taker here)

I just gave my 7th PT and I bombed it. PT 72 is my lowest score so far with a 153 actual score. I was scoring in mid 160s for my previous 3 prep tests so I don't really know what happened with this particular one. I'm planning on taking the test in October and targeting to give 1-2 Prep tests each week.

Any advice on how I should move ahead? LR is currently my weakest section and I'm in the midst of foolproofing LG.

Would really appreciate some advice from anyone who's been in this position!

I just revised this old chestnut and thought I would share it. Here's the gist: you don't have to go for a knockout on your first sentence. It's okay to take it slow. No one will stop reading.

How close does the problem set question structure and interface mimic the actual Digital LSAT? I am curious as I was thinking of ditching all my practice test books in order to test via problem sets. I figured I can just highlight each of the sections individually of the tests I would like to study. Any thoughts on this? Sorry in advance if this has already been answered or suggested.

hi all

so I have not been as diligent with my studies as I should have been over the summer because of some unexpected life events. I do most of logical reasoning+reading comprehension qs right however I am still struggling with games as I started to study it pretty recently. Do you think I should postpone my exam even though September is disclosed and I can get a performance sheet back? This one would be my first Lsat exam ever so I can't tell if I'm just freaking out or not. Please help with any advice you can give TIA

Hi everyone. I'm kind of in a predicament, and was wondering if I can have your insights/inputs. I'm in the process of asking for LOR from individuals, one of these individuals was a teaching assistant I had for one of my lab classes. Of all my years in undergrad, she was one of the only individuals who I can safely say really understood who I was as a student. If asked for, I'm sure she will write me a recommendation letter that has an honest testimonial of my capability as a student and everything that a typical law school LOR is looking for. The thing though is, because she is a teaching assistant she's afraid that her recommendation of me will not hold much weight in comparison to faculty members. What is your guys' opinion on this? Because, I went to a large undergrad institute, and most of my classes had 100+ plus students. If I were to ask a professor for recommendations, it's very unlikely I will receive a LOR as genuine and insightful as the one from the TA. Do you think it's ok for a TA to write a LOR as long as the LOR is a strong recommendation? Some sources I've seen online say 'yes', other's say 'no'.

Thank you!

Has anyone taken the online writing section? I took the test in July, but still haven't taken the writing. Can I take it anytime or is it only on the test date? I'm not sure if I missed it already

Hey All,

I wanted to Kickoff a Study Group for September's Test. I was thinking Monday, Wednesday nights, and Sundays....open to suggestions!

Hi! I will be applying to law schools in the coming months for enrollment in Fall 2020.

The only thing is, I am moving to Thailand to teach English on October 1st. I plan to be there from October through next May.

I have been in the workforce for three years now, and I have a strong resume with experience in investment banking as well as corporate finance.

I am just wondering, would it be beneficial to address the reason for leaving my current job in an addendum? Since I am not addressing this in my personal statement, I think an addendum may be a good opportunity to 1) address the reason for departing my current job which will be evident on my resume and 2) allow admissions to learn of my upcoming travels / employment overseas.

Thanks in advance!

The answers bar/graph thing that appears below each of the video explanation examples in the CC (prior to the problem sets) is not viewable when clicked on. For example, here: https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/birds-eat-all-day-na-question/?ss_completed_lesson=1781

I've tried reloading the page, reseting my browser, and using a different device (my iPad instead of my laptop) and nothing is working. Please let me know if there's anything else I can do to troubleshoot. Thanks!

The digital tester for problem sets is live now! We know a lot of you have been waiting for this—thank you for your patience while we worked on this!

Where are the old PDFs?

Since LSAT is 100% digital testing now, the old PDF option is hidden by default. To see the old PDF options, tap the little PDF icon just under the bottom left corner of the tester.

How to Create Problem Sets

Just like before, you can create custom problem sets with any of the questions you have access to on your account. The difference is that you can take them using the digital tester, and all the problem sets you create are saved and tracked on your account. You can see a list of all the problem sets you have started/created on the Problem Sets page. Problem sets from the curriculum have book icons next to their names.

On that page, tap on "Create Custom Problem Set" to create a problem set. The interface is the same as the old "Question Bank" interface (but now it's faster!).

How to Take Single Sections

To do a single section, you make a custom problem set with the questions for the one section that you want to take. If you aren't familiar with the custom problem set interface, here are more detailed instructions on how to do this:

Drills are deprecated

The "Drills" lessons in Ultimate+ are now deprecated and will be deleted from the curriculum soon. You can easily recreate them with the Problem Sets page, so they don't serve a purpose anymore. For now, until they are deleted, you can still access them so that if you're in the middle of them you still know your current progress.

Please let us know if you see anything strange or broken!

I started studying back in November of 2016. In three years since then I have taken the test multiple times but a score of 170 has remained elusive. Now I am trying for another attempt, I want to ensure I get there.

The problem I am facing is that a score of -1, 0 in logic games is not coming. I consistently go -4 and sometimes even blow up as well.

I have done all I can that includes fool proofing 5-36 and more. I have done every logic game in tests 5-82 multiple times. And fool proofed them. so lack of practice cannot be the reason. I have watched JY videos of all logic games from 1-82. I try to make inferences upfront. Try to follow what JY suggests in core curriculum. I have tried to create set of best practices. Yet I have failed to reach -1 which a lot of people can do easily.

One of biggest problem is scoring less on unseen games. if I do a game set that I have done a long time ago, I will do it good. But an unseen new game set, would yield a score that is bad.

Now I am asking you? What else I can do? Not giving up but what is out there that I haven't tried and can try that can yeaild better results? Please share?

I just am stuck between C & D.. I think both of them answer why the author thinks the question is imprecise? What am I missing? #help

Admin note: edited title; please use the format of "PT#.S#.Q# - [first set of words]"

I have been looking at this question for a while and A, B, C appeared correct at first. I narrowed it down to C because it seemed like he was mocking and taunting the opposing view as to suggest their report ludicrous, an appeal to emotion. I ruled out A and B because although true, that did not seem like the main method of reasoning he was using. Now that I know B is in fact the correct answer, I have eliminated A & C on the grounds that they are referring to context parts and the major premise "could not imagine any senator..." seems to imply Answer choice B more closely ...What do you guys think?
