Logged onto LSAC today and was able to switch my Oct. test center from God-forsaken Newark to a hotel near Penn Station. Head's up - limited availability.

PT 86 Game with mining. greyson, headquaters and krona.

rule one contradicts with the correct answer for the first question of the game. I looked at the explanation but it really don't solve my confusion.

"rule says that headquarters must be visited in between two different mine locations"

the answer choice B is contradicting the same rule. please explain may be i am reading it wrong. thanks!

Hey friends, I'm writing in November and am almost through the CC. I've been seeing lots of improvement on the LG (generally 1 or 2m over the target time and -1 for each set), but I haven't foolproofed them yet.

How would you recommend that I best go about foolproofing to maximize the time I have left before the exam? Should I foolproof the games in the CC problem sets and/or all games from PT20-35 before starting to do timed PTs?

Any advice/experience is welcome. Thanks!

They reassigned my test center from UCSB to the Hyatt centric downtown & I was wondering if anyone knows whether in similar occasions they offer free parking to test takers and what the difference is taking it at a hotel vs school

Hi everyone! I am currently in Colombia working and studying for the LSAT. I just graduated from college and I'm here with a Fulbright grant which is keeping me quite busy. I was hoping to study hard enough with 7sage to get the score I want by November so I can apply this cycle, but I have decided to wait and study and then apply early next year since i don't think I can get the score I want by then.

I already reached out to my professors to write my letters of rec and they have agreed. I was wondering- can i still create an LSAC account now and have them upload their recs? Will they be saved during this year if I officially apply next year? Or do I have to ask them to send it next year when I am applying officially?

Thank you guys :)

Hey there!

My question is in regards to early decision. After looking at the law school predictor, I was hoping to gain some insight into when it would be a good idea to apply for ED. Some of the schools in am interested in, based on my LSAT(163) and GPA (3.44), have me at a 85 percent chance of getting into the school. Is that too high of a percentage to apply for ED? I don't want to forgo any scholarship money by applying ED, but I also want to get into that particular school. Any thoughts or advice? Thanks!

Can someone explain why the correct answer to this question is B? I'm completely stumped on this, as D seems like the right answer to me.

Here is an actual question I have, which could also be an LR question....

"Beginning with the September 2019 LSAT administration, the following limits will be instated:

You will only be able to take the LSAT three times in a single testing year.

Note: the LSAC considers the testing year to be June 1 to May 31"

I took the July 2019 LSAT. Does that count as one of three tests that I am allowed to take in this testing year, given that it was before September 2019?

Hi everyone — I started my undergrad at Florida International University in Miami,Florida. unfortunately due to tuition and family circumstances I had to return to northern Virginia. My gpa leaving FIU was a 2.5, then I took courses at a community college and transferred to George Mason University where I graduated with a 3.39. I am very nervous as to what my GPA will end up in LSAC as I just requested my transcripts. Has anyone been in a similar situation and can offer insight? Thank you in advance.

Just a recommendation, I think it would be great if you can create random problem sets using sets of PT's. For example, using PT 1-35, all of its LR questions, to randomly throw at you. After answering the question the correct answer as well as the solution is presented. Very much how the LSAT Demon works, I think its a useful design for casual practice.

Does anyone have the link to extend course that is expiring just before the September LSAT. I can't seem to find it, thanks!

Hi everyone,

Just not sure if you have any tips, advice, personal experiences that you could share with respect to how you met your blind review scores for LR...

Right now my section scores really fluctuate - I can get anywhere between 15 - 20 right, and I am getting between -2 and under in BR. Has anyone else experienced this? Its quite annoying and frustrating and I dont want to lose hope on my progress lol.

thanks in advance

Hi everyone!

I have been struggling on how to close this almost 15 point gap between my timed score and blind review score. I am not sure if I need to take more practice tests, or review the curriculum a little more in order to master these questions. Any thoughts/advice?

My LSAT increased 7 points the second time I took the exam and 6 points the third time I took the test -- in terms of an addendum, if I were to write one, would I treat the increase as a 13 point increase, or would I write about them individually?

Thank you!

This is a question mostly geared towards Blind Review

So my highest PT is a 155 and my highest Blind Review is a 165. I almost always fix a ton of my issues on LG because I think it's the simplest to improve. Nevertheless, I don't seem to really improve a lot on other sections. I've improved a lot on LR on my LSAT journey, but RC has been probably the toughest challenge. I think it's a mix of me not circling questions for blind review, and then if I circle a lot of questions I think to myself "well this logic is just fine, keep the answer".

There's obviously many factors in considering what kind of LR/RC question it is, but more often than not I just can't seem to contradict my logic either in the moment when i'm taking the test or when i'm looking at review. What would be a good method for counterbalancing complete confidence in something vs being overtly suspicious that the answer is wrong? I know from the CC one way of figuring out if NA questions are suspect is by negating them and seeing if it wrecks the argument, do similar methods exist for other frequent LR/RC questions?

I’ve heard there is a “LSAT” watermark thing on the middle of the scrap paper. How big is it? (I’ve heard it was like 2 inches large?) Was it distracting? What did it look like? Could you write over it with a pencil? Did it affect your LG set up and questions?

Also, with the scrap paper, if you do your logic game on the right side page of the booklet, you could always write on the left side page too if you ran out of room on the right side page?

Hi there,

I have written my personal statement. The topic isn't about why I want to go to law school, but rather a life experience. I have gone on a few law school websites seeing they have wrote to write the personal statement about why you want to go to law school. I am wondering if I have to write another personal statement that addresses this topic for these schools, or if I can keep my personal statement as it is.

I want to start with Q27 first. I have read the reasoning behind why (D) is incorrect, and somehow agree, but I absolutely dont see why (E) is correct.

The author doesn't state history is impaired by universal patterns, atleast nowhere where he doesnt use the word "Perhaps".

Here are the following places where he atleast mentions his views against univervsal patterns in the last paragraph.

"But perhaps this discomfort is no bad thing...relinquish the vain hope for inevitability and hence restore us to the contemplation of historical contingency...all of which can serve as stimuli to serious thought.

"Perhaps what is needed is a historical perspective...the particular and unrepeatable details of historical events."

The only phrase that i can find that sort of supports (E) is that the author uses "vain hope", but the following part of the sentence doesn't talk about unversal patterns at all...

Can someone please enlighten me about which part of the passage allows us to assume (E)? Or does "Perhaps" indicate a sense of strong agreement instead of being aware of a possibility?

For Q22, I chose (C), and I later understood that the first part of the sentence "Though seductive in their logic and coherence" makes it incorrect. However, doesnt (E) also rely on the word "perhaps" to indicate a sense of strong agreement?

Thankyou so much who anyone that can help. This is really confusing

I have a question. If you are given a statement like the below:

Most dogs are cute.

Does this by inference mean that some dogs are not cute? As in there is at least a some relationship between dogs and cute. Say there are 100 dogs. 99 are cute. What about the remaining 1? Is it common sensical to assume it is not cute, or are we not allowed to make such an inference.

Just a quick question

If assumptions are premises the author left out then does that mean that I am trying to find that assumption in the answer stem?

I am just having a hard time with these so if anyone has any hints or suggestions that would be awesome.

Hi all.

I am in a bit of a situation and I’m hoping I can hear some advice from people in the same boat as me (and understand this test and what it all means) because it’s not always super helpful to talk to friends/family who don’t really understand (even though they’re really supportive! - you know what I mean).

I took the LSAT once in June, and I scored in the range below my personal target range (which will get me into the schools I want). Wasn’t bummed about my score but wasn’t ecstatic or anything. Summer happened, and I was burnt out from studying so I didn’t put that much effort this second time around. My upcoming test is Sep 21. I don’t feel horribly about it, but I just don’t think it’ll be THE improvement I need in order to get into my target schools.

That being said, what should I do? Go on with the Sep exam and see how it goes? Don’t take the risk and withdraw and take it again later? The biggest conflict right now is that if September doesn’t go as well as planned, I am currently in a one-year intensive Masters program and also conducting research.

Granted, I have a bit of flexibility in my schedule (the program/work load/time commitment is manageable, but nonetheless still a graduate program), and squeezing in test prep would make my schedule FULL. And hectic, lol.

Should I take it in two weeks? In a few months? Or after I graduate from my program in May (I’m worried that’s too big of a break from studying)? Ah!

Thanks for reading. And I wish you all the very best of luck in this stressful but hopefully worthwhile journey.

This is the main point question from the Gilman Passage

Can some one please explain why (A) is incorrect? I was stuck between A and D, but chose A because D does not say ANYTHING about there being two different theories, which was basically what the whole first paragraph was about. I get that the word usage of "central doctrine" in (A) is a bit weird, but is this really the reason why A is incorrect? I would also like to know if its normal for the Main Point question to just leave out a whole paragraph? Thanks so much

This game is kind of driving me crazy. I am looking at the first rule which states the following:

"the team must work for atleast one months at a headquarters between any two months working at different mines"

So my interpretation is that that Headquarters must come in between Krona and Grayson mines. My interpretations then contradicts the correct answer which is B as 'H' is coming between two Gs

how is that correct answer? please help.

thanks!

Hi there - does anyone know if there a way modify the timer on the digital problem sets to not end after 35 mins? Thanks!
