Hey awesome-est LSAT community out there!

Signing off now. Going to turn my brain off for the next few hours. Just wanted to say good luck to everyone tomorrow; you're going to kill it!

Paul

so i dont know if im over thinking it, but my picture is not like high end quality type, its a little fuzzy around the edges but you can for sure tell its me, i just don't if they will be super strict and be like oh its not crystal clear we can't let you in or if im just going crazy, how strict are they usually?

Hi everyone,

I'm pretty sure the answer is I can't take the test (I was planning on canceling my score anyway) but does anyone know if there is anything that can be done about being admitted to the exam if you lose your only form of ID the night before the exam?

If we are to be there no later than 8:30am,

Is it reasonable to say I will be done at 1:30pm?

That is 1h for check-in and instructions.

Last time I finished around that time, we got out at 1:45pm

Good luck to everyone in the world, it is also officially December 2nd in the US. I will point out that I think many of us can rest a bit easier knowing the new rule for taking this damn test. I suppose the makers realize 3 times ain't always a charm.

My LSAT ticket has horizontal lines across the picture, does this matter? also if so how can i get them off?

Hi everyone,

I remember once seeing a bus game which JY refer to as "ridiculously tough." I would like to retried it tonight but I forgot which PT that is from.

Could someone please point me to the right direction?

Thank you!

I took this test 4 years ago when I first started my journey. I've failed it miserably and am now here and taking it extremely seriously! I am just starting on the CC and at the point where I just finished learning about BR (amazing) and tomorrow I'll do the next step- take a diagnostic, and then BR.. which happens to be the 07 test. Should I incorporate another PT test for this part of the CC? Will it throw me off any, or still be following the same CC? I notice the first test is PT 36 at the end of the CC, should I just use that one? I do have 10 fresh tests from one of the "real" LSAT actual books.. I could pull one from? What do you guys think? Or, take that 07 test? It's been sooooo long. I scored a 142 on it when I took it. Then trashed it. :-p

Hello everyone,

My latest hurdle on LR is trying to parse out the referential phrasing. Has anyone had an issue with this and compiled a list of questions to practice? Let me know! It would be the biggest help on my journey to improving my LR score!

All the best!

Hope for your goal score!

For my picture on my admission ticket, I have my hair down.

That being said, I can wear my hair in a pony tail right?

Came across this nerd click bait and loved it. I've identified a lot of these linguistic hobbles in my own speech and writing, and I've been on a mission to eradicate them for about a year now. The opportunity to edit has made it a manageable task in my writing (when I remember), but I've barely made any headway in speech. For now, it remains a struggle, but I hope some of you will join me!

Is it sound to take a PT then blind review it the next morning, or it is ideal to take it then blind review it immediately? Going to do my first BR as I just stared the CC.. so will be doing the 07 test.

Is anyone considering withdrawing? I've already withdrew once before and it sucks to eat the money but I'm just wondering if anyone else is going to withdraw from this Saturday's test.

I'm still 5+ points away from my goal score so I know it won't happen. I'm already registered for February's test so still contemplating what to do.

Hi Everybody,

I first took the LSAT in 2016 and scored a 169. I tried again in September 2017 and scored above 170.

Here are a few things I would like to share

care for your mind and body. On test day, to perform well, you should be rested, well hydrated, and well fed. This isn't something you can do last minute. You need to be eating, drinking, and sleeping for several days (or weeks) prior to the test. If you can't fall asleep, then lay there and rest :)

In practice tests, we try to understand every answer choice. But on test day, you just need the correct answers. So if you have a good rationale for A being right, but you can't eliminate C, then pick A and move on. You don't have time to dissect C. Same thing in logic games: you do not need to eliminate all the wrong answers. Scan first for obviously correct or obviously wrong choices (just like JY in his videos) -- don't mindlessly plug and chug A, B, C, etc.

I know this test can get boring and tiring, but scoring highly requires a certain degree of engagement with the test material

Best of luck to everyone.

I finally finished my PS and am now getting started on law school apps. So nervous I feel like I'm gonna f*ck up and spell my name wrong or something ridiculous. Anyways where do the 2 classes i'm taking spring 2018 fit in in the application? Do I update it later on when the classes start in January? I'm just taking them to avoid paying off student loans and will take them pass/fail.

Hi 7Sagers,

I'm giving a webinar on Tuesday, and I was going to cover some last-minute application tips, but I realized that many of you may just be starting your applications after the LSAT. So, you tell me: would you prefer (1) an admissions overview (similar to my webinar in September) or (2) last-minute application tips (which would probably leave more time for questions).

Here's a link to my other post about the webinar, which includes registration information: https://classic.7sage.com/admissions/discussion/#/discussion/13907/admissions-webinar-editing-giveaway-dec-5-9-p-m-et

I was reviewing Q19 from Section 1 of PT 27 answer choice A, which got me wondering about causal chains.

According to the stimulus, pollen can cause the release of histamines, and histamine cannot cause cold symptoms.

Answer A says: "Pollen and other allergens do not cause colds" and it is an incorrect answer.

Can we not link this up into a causal chain like "pollen --> histamine --> ~cold symptoms" and conclude (through the transitive property) that pollen cannot cause cold symptoms?

I know for conditional reasoning, if you have a chain like "a-->b-->~c" you can conclude "a-->~c", but is this not the case for causal reasoning?

In a similar vein, if you have a causal chain like "a causes b. b causes c", you CAN conclude that "a causes c," right?...

Thank you!

I am taking the December LSAT and from my prep work and thinking I am going to be in the 155-158 range. I am going to retake the exam in February, does anyone think it is possible to increase my score to 165?

My biggest issue is timing! I have always been a slow reader and I am finding reading comp impossible. Any suggestions on how I can improve my score if I am a slow reader?

Do you guys do the RC sections out of order depending on how many questions there are on the passage? I'm asking because I've tried both strategies. It seems to help me when I do them based on the number of questions; however, I haven't been doing that sort of strategy for very long so I'm a little bit apprehensive to use it. What are your guys' opinions about doing the passages out of order?

Thanks!

I still cannot figure out where my test center is. All it says is Rutgers New Brunswick 14411. I clicked on the web address it provided and it just sent me to rutgers.edu. Not helpful at all! Helppppppp

Hey yall!

So in the past two weeks I went from scoring 21 average right per section to less than 14 and I have no idea what gives. I'm obviously mega stressed as my test is Tuesday (mine was moved due to accommodations). Any advice on how to keep my head up? It's really a struggle and I'm becoming really scared

This may be a dumb question, but I wasn't able to find a clear answer to it.

I find myself bubbling in the answers straight to my scantron, without marking on the test. This is how I take tests in general. Now, would this be penalized on lsat? Can I just leave the test blank? I feel like this would save me some time, and decrease the chance of misbubbling.

Anyone have any recommendations to good/important/unusual games that would be good to review/watch the explanation to before the December LSAT. I know it is two days before the LSAT, but I just want to get your guys thoughts on what would be good to look over one more time. On my list I have already reviewed the goldfinch game from PT 14, the lizard game from PT 27, the CD game from PT 31, the fruit stand game from PT 36 (conditional logic and chaining up rules), the bus game from PT 36, dinosaur game from PT 57, the stained glass game from PT 62, work-piece game from PT 72, virus game from PT 79.

Any other games anyone thinks need to be reviewed before test day?

Hey --

For those of you taking the the LSAT abroad, your test might be at 2pm even though your ticket says 8:30, as mine does. Check with the venue!
