I'm having trouble figuring out why A is a wrong answer choice.

If we apply the negation test to AC A, it will say -- "All of the scents that have a tendency to reduce susceptibility to illness do NOT do so by reducing stress."

Wouldn't "All of the scents" also include lavender, meaning lavender does not reduce susceptibility to illness by reducing stress? Wouldn't this wreck the argument?

Any advice or suggestions appreciated. Thank you.

Question 10: How do we know that "additives" was ever the cause of behavioral problems in the first place? Researchers being "trained to assess the presence or absence of behavioral problems" does not mean whatever behavioral problems are there are caused by additives. I feel like the question omits declaring the cause of the behavioral problems is in-facts additives. Grrrrr.

I badly need access to PT86 in the next couple of days. I have tried contacting book stores in my area, but o won’t get it through them until the day before Saturday’s administration of the lsat. Are there options to purchase access to that one file alone? Thanks

This was my first BR using 7Sage's method on the June 2007 test. I haven't BR the other sections yet but my BR score on LR wasn't that much of an improvement compared to my timed score. On my first section timed my score was 18/25 and after BR it was 20/25 and my second session my scores stayed the same with 20/25 on both the timed and the BR section.

Should I be worried that my score increase hasn't improved that much after BR? I'm worried since the BR is supposed to show how much your score could improve.

I still have yet to get through the CC as I'm just on the first diagnostic PT but I have already taken the LSAT before and received a 155. I'm just worried that I didn't see improvement after this BR. I also followed the method closely and for each question that I circled (which was almost all of them) I wrote out an explanation for the stem/stimulus and then using a blank PT wrote why each AC was wrong or right.

Can someone explain to me how answer B is the correct one? The sentence the question is asking concerns how cooking has impacted biological evolution; B is about domesticated animals and has nothing to do with cooking?

I am submitting my law school apps this week and would appreciate any advice regarding my resume and any errors I have made. I want it to be perfect and all advice is appreciated.

I know this might be a silly question, but do letters of recommendation need to explicitly say that anywhere on the letter? I ask because I understand there is a distinction between a letter of reference and a letter of recommendation, and one my recommenders included "this reference is provided at..." It would be easy enough to have them change it and maybe this is trivial, but I'd appreciate all of your input. Thanks!

Hi there!

So I'm still trying to answer this question and could use some help! Lots of different sources, including 7sager and the Trainer, suggest I find the flaw in the argument if I can, before considering answer choices. The question I've never been able to answer is this: Why? What does a correct answer choice in an NA question do to that flaw? With SA questions, the correct answer choice makes the flaw disappear. But with an NA, I don't have an answer. Any help would be amazing! I'm taking the Jan Lsat next week and I'm trying to tie up loose ends.

So I've done many logical games and fool proofed them by watching the explanation videos. Everything gets so much easier when doing it the second time after watching how it's done. I overall understand a majority of logical games, however, I am still struggling with finishing all of them on time. I end up spending 8-9 minutes on average on each game, so I can never get around completing all four games.

Any last minute suggestions that could help me improve on this section for next week?

I did the November lsat and got -5 on the LG section. I'm looking to improve my score by 4-5 points, so an increase in this section will definitely help.

I currently have DACA, which ultimatelys rules out any financial aid that comes from the government, and I believe my current financial status would qualify me for need based aid.

I was accepted ED to Georgetown but before that I was accepted to WashU Law. I withdrew all of my other applications today except for WashU Law because they notified me they're giving me a full scholarship.

I haven't received my scholarship info from Georgetown just yet but I feel so stressed.

Should I email Georgetown to ask when I should be expecting to be notified of my scholarhsip award?

I’m been having an issue with this app since the last update (Version 2.1.1). When I open the logic games tab, it refuses to show me anything other than the discussion board (as in, the discussion board that’s supposed to just be under the discussion tab)... so I am unable to access the LG video walkthroughs. I saw in another thread that someone had a workaround through another tab but nothing i’ve tried has worked for me. Any help from anyone is greatly appreciated!

Hi All,

I have been accepted to NYU Law early admission; however, I received a pretty tempting 'invitation to apply' emails from Yale.

How strictly is the early admission enforced? Can I still apply to Yale? Will it jeopardize my offer from NYU?

Thanks,

WD

Exactly as the title states.

In such case, do I have to inform the school by email that I will be taking the Jan Lsat and wish to be put on hold or is the application automatically put on hold?

Thanks!

More specifically in Penn and down since I didn’t apply higher than Penn. Duke seems to have really good resources but I found this out through speaking to the LLM dean and JD-LLM students. I was looking into Cornell and couldn’t find much about it online.

Hi I’m trying to find an in person tutor for my boyfriend. His test is in 7 days. He just needs a few pointers. We live in Vista Ca! Please help!

Does anyone know if the LSAC tablet's have writing capability? The low resolution summaries of each paragraph in RC passages helps me tremendously. I have played with the demo in their website but do not see a writing tool.

Hi all,

For those who cancelled a score, what did y'all indicate on apps that asked you to list when you took your lsat and your score? It doesn't allow you to write "C" for cancelled for example as it only accepts numerical values. Not sure if it's wise to leave it blank... Thanks all!

Regarding whether other people's argument and conclusion can be used to answer a question(not the author’s) if the author himself did not provide an argument? Since in one lesson, JY said that other people's argument is distinct from the author's argument. So if the author himself just cites other researchers' arguments and conclusions can we use those to answer the questions?

I keep hearing that LR in the newer sections is more difficult or at least different. When does that change take place?

I’m taking the LSAT next week but still really struggling with logic games. Sometimes I’ll just freeze and have no idea what to do with it after making the game board and writing the rules.

Im only a few points shy of my target score and my LR and RC are pretty solid. Is there anything I can do to strengthen logic games in the next week and a half? Any strategies that can help me?

Thanks!

The answer to this question is A. I understand why the other answer choices are wrong, but I have a hard time accepting A because David literally concedes Carla's premises... I don't think he can then be considered to be ignoring any part of her answer. That doesn't make any sense to me. If someone can help me out, I'd appreciate it!

I know this isn't very timely, but we've updated our lesson on early decision with more information about who it helps and how much.

This is the relevant section: How much ED helps depends on where your LSAT scores and GPA lie relative to the school’s medians. Our data show that if your LSAT and GPA are both stronger or both weaker than the school’s, ED doesn’t give you a measurable boost. Applying early decision helps most for splitters: candidates who have one number (LSAT or GPA) at or above a school’s median and the other below.

All,

I've been obsessing over the my law school decision letters and received my first rejection the other day. I studied for the LSAT for nearly three years on and off with a full time job, and I took the exam 3 times. I'm ready to move on, but it's just been a painful process and even more anxiety-inducing as I'm waiting.

Any advice on how to deal with the anxiety and defeated feelings?

Does anyone know if T14 schools view the recommendation letters from tenured professors more positively than non-tenured/junior/assistant professors? Or, would they focus on the content of the letters? Would a solid letter from a tenured professor 'look better' than a solid letter from a non-tenured professor? I'm assuming that these schools have a similar method in weighing the letters.

Hello,

I emailed a couple of schools asking for fee waivers in November and some of them said that they needed my LSAC GPA to grant me one. My transcripts just got evaluated and since I am an international applicant, I did not get a GPA but a vague ranking (superior). Should I follow up on this and ask for a fee waiver again with this information?

Thank you!
