I flagged this one but on blind review stuck with my answer of B...I can understand why the correct answer is A, but still don't see why B CAN'T be right? Has anyone got their arms around this one?

Hi Everyone, so I have been studying for quite a while now (7/8 months). And I have gotten my scores to about, LG: -1 to -3, LR: around -8 to -11 collectively. But my RC is so inconsistent it ranges anywhere from -12 to -6, it's definitely my weakest section. I am currently PTing in the 161-163 range and my goal score is 165/166. I usually end up guessing on a couple questions because of timing issues (1 to 2 LR Q's, 1 to 2 LG Q's, and 2 to 4 RC Q's).

With all things considering, delaying is not an option for me. I would really appreciate if anyone has any tips or advice to see a final push in the last two weeks? Anything would help, I am feeling a bit discouraged as I have been stagnant in the low 160s for the last 3 to 4 weeks. I really appreciate any input, thanks.

Since people write different kinds of addenda, in the header should I specify mine is an undergrad performance addendum or simply keep the right header "Addendum [page #]" ? Thanks in advance.

Although all contemporary advertising tried to persuade...only a small portion

I don't understand why E is right and C is wrong. Sufficient condition of being a good manager is failed in C so some must indeed B good managers on the basis of the premises. Is it not parallel because of that one extra step of failing sufficient?

40% chose C as the right answer and only 5% more percent got it right with E, yet I can't find a discussion of this difficult question anywhere.

Hey everyone,

I’m freaking out insanely because I am new to this and because I registered for the January 2020 exam today (it literally just opened up a few days ago). Anyways the city I live in only has one test center and it says unavailable. The other one nearest to my city which is about 1hr and 30 mins away is also unavailable. Anyways so I just registered and I guess I am wait-listed.

I’m freaking out because I am unable to travel to the test center that is outside of city if it opens up (don’t have a car, don’t have anyone to take me and they just cut the bus routes that go outside the city). Basically I can ONLY write the test in the center located in my city but I’m so scared that I won’t get a seat and I’m freaking out even more because I have already applied to schools and January is the last acceptable exam they take.

Advice??? Literately can’t calm down

Hey guys, I’ve recently restarted to study for the test and noticed that there has been a number of changes. I’m planning to take the international version of the test in June and I think I would find it useful to have a pen during the game section, mainly in order to have certain fixed variables written in ink and change others as the need may be by using an eraser and rewriting with a pencil. While pens are given to the test takers of the digital version, so far I haven’t seen any explicit statement by the LSAC permitting test takers of the pencil-and-paper version to bring their own pen. I think this difference between the two groups of test takers is an unfair one which can easily be overcome without cost or undue problems, and I’ve been hoping to see some changes in this regard. Are any international test takers or takers of the paper version of the test willing to formally ask LSAC for permission or would I have to wait until I register for the test next year (in May or so) to see this change in policy? I was just wondering if anyone else had a similar wish and was willing to do something about it. Thanks and good luck!

BTW, I really appreciate the free logic games videos J.Y. Ping!

Test Day Arrival

How early do you need to arrive at the testing centre for the 12:30pm writing on November 25th? Like is an hour too early or not enough?

I was watching JY's explanation of Game 4 regarding the recycling centers, and I have a question. Is it true that not all of the materials have to be recycled by at least one of the plants? I ask this because that must be the reason I got question 22 wrong. If N is the right answer (B), then that means that none of the centers recycles wood. Can someone let me know if that is true? If so, I made a bad assumption in the beginning of the game. Thanks!

I took it in 2016 when I thought I'd be going to a different graduate program; and I took the LSAT earlier this year. I can't figure out whether submitting my GRE score is mandatory. Even if it's not, should I submit it if I did well?

This is for UChicago.

Hey guys, I have been studying for the LSAT for a bit over three months now, and I haven’t seen any improvement in LR in a very long time. On the last four timed LR sections I have taken, I consistently get -10. I went over the cc a second time and still haven’t improved my LR score at all. I think maybe it’s because I go through the questions too fast and don’t spend enough time thinking about the logical structure of each question; I always finish an LR section with about 3 minutes to spare. I get really stressed when I spend too much time on a question. I am scheduled to write the November LSAT and I am hoping to improve to -5/-6. Any pointers would help, thank you!

Hi all,

I have been taking two tests a week since August and have had a consistent score increase to a peak at 166 last week. Lately I have been nailing drilling assignments but my scores in practice tests as of late have nose dived back to 160's. I take a day off a week and do not know why my results are going downward this close to the exam. Any help would be appreciated.

So I’ve been self-employed for the past 4 years and I’m not sure how I should put that type of work experience on my resume for law schools. I do contract work for companies to make custom pieces for them and I’m not sure if I should list all my clients and how long I’ve been working with them? Or if I should just put that I’m an independent contractor and have a small description for what I do? And how do I make a distinction on my resume from my independent contract work and my past employment work?

For all LSAT retakers - if you have seen all PTs at one point or another - what is the best material to study with? Is going back to the PTs you have seen still worthwhile? I figured that I should at least focus on the last 20 or so PTs.

Is there other good prep test material out there with PTs that are comparable to actual LSATs? I'm just trying to get as much practice as possible! I haven't seen PT88 - but leaving this for a couple weeks before my actual exam date. Thanks in advance!!

I started studying for the LSAT in August and back then I scored around 155. Since then I've kept studying in the time I have left over from grad school. I just took a PT in the same controlled enviornment and received a 150. I'm equally weak in all questions (I missed around 12 questions from each section) and found that I am still presssed for time and unable to complete the last page for each section. It feels like all the time I spent practicing amounted to nothing and I'm at a loss.

It's clear I'm not ready and I just found out that I can only cancel my Janurary LSAT for a measly 50 dollars. Any suggestions on what to do? I'm looking to take the LSAT at least around June but I'm not even sure if Seoul, Korea offers a June test. There is one in March, although I'm not sure if I'll be ready by then tbh.

Hi, I just wanted to know everyones experience with 7 sage and possibly how much your score improved. Also how long did you study using 7sage? I recently signed up for 7 sage and I just wanted to get people's feedback. I am also thinking of possibly doing powerscore classes in person but for right now I am just going to focus on 7sage i think. I am thinking of taking the LSAT next summer, give myself probably 5 to 6 months of studying. Also if you want to throw in any valuable study tips please do! Thank you!

This might seem silly, but I feel like I screw myself over and waste a lot of time with poorly drawn charts/tables (in/out) on LGs.

I have the dexterity of an elephant and fat clumsy fingers. I know we aren't allowed to use rulers on the LSAT, but could we fold paper to make a ruler? Anyone have any pointers or is it just a matter of slowing down a bit to have a more legible diagram?

Hey Guys! I'm looking for advice.

Here's a little background: I began my studies in July (initial PT 143) and have been studying full time (9-4) since. My score has gone up to a 159 (BR 164) (I took this test about a week ago) but I took two PT's after that and scored a 151(BR 157) & 152 (BR 159). I have NO IDEA why I am regressing.

My LG score is now at a -1/-5 depending on if I can finish the game set BR -0. BUT I CAN NOT SEEM TO INCREASE MY LR or RC score ): I BR after LR, but somehow i'm stuck at -7/-8 per section (BR is sometimes the same score sometimes it's -2). And my RC fluctuates vastly as well, but normally I only get about 14 correct. ): At this point I have no idea what to do. I feel so defeated after studying for five months and not even being able to reach 160's yet. So what would you guys do in this position?

Any parents out there that are planning on attending law school or who are already in school? Just wanna make sure I'm not alone. I'm seeking some advice and input as to how y'all are faring and balancing parenthood with the rigors of a law school curriculum. I know there are a lot of factors involved, like the amount of help one receives from family, financial position, etc.

My baby will be born in March, and I'm planning on attending law school full time in the fall of 2020. I'm a bit anxious, but determined. Not sure how much help we will have from family, and my wife will be working about 60-70 hrs a week.

So, how will y'all manage? And, for those of you already in school, what advice do you have for maintaining your sanity?

Thanks in advance. You guys are awesome.
