I'm in PA and would love to stay in the loop!

Honestly, I would focus on improving your GPA for now. The LSAT will still be there for you afterwards, but once your GPA is established you can't change it any more.

Consider paragraph three: The Third Period is supposed to be characterized by "wild and extreme rhetoric" and the envisioning of a "new world." (B) fits much better than (C) here, due to "final global victory over capitalist oppression."

Retook in person today; went much much better than online last week! Paper indeed is colored, can only use pencils, but much more functional and organized testing experience.

Any issues with the writing utensils? No need to bring anything / the centers provide scratch paper and pencils?

@"banks.joseph195-1" said: Are we able to discuss test generalities yet, specifically for anyone who took the test in-person Saturday? Can you share your experience testing in person? Any advice for retakers?

What people are saying about Prometric is true.

Consider asking your professors as soon as possible so that they still remember you. Ideally, try to schedule a personal meeting, e.g. in an office hour or over Zoom. Also, LSAC's online portal for recommendation letters is a little bit weird, cons…

I strongly suggest not erasing gameboards that you already constructed, and to instead do new additional gameboards that you fill out. The reason for this is that you can often re-use gameboards that you already constructed for subsequent questions …

'Not all A's are C's' and 'Some A's are not C's' mean the same thing, they aren't negations of another. For example, if I say 'Not all apples are green,' this means the same thing as 'Some apples are not green.' Now, how do we negate a statement li…

Here is a visualization attempt, hope this is helpful: https://imgur.com/bnf7gta

/Y -> (O ↔/L) If Y is out, then either O is in or L is in, but not both. How do we falsify "either O is in or L is in, but not both?" Either O and L are both in, or O and L are both out. Formally: (O & L) -> Y (/O and /L) -> Y Ther…

This SA question is unusual in that it features a hypothetical dialogue that contains many gaps and two conclusions that remain implicit. The topic of the dialogue is free merchandise that Wilson's Department Store awards to its top salespeople. Th…

Consider that you can reformulate any disjunction ('A or B') into a conditional ('not A -> B') and vice versa. Consider further how this applies to (E): We have not TRANSFORM DISCHARGE -> KEEP DISCHARGE IN MUSSELS, which gets us the informatio…

PT7.S4.Q19 – Calendar Changes This miscellaneous question discusses a proposed calendar change and asks us to identify a population for which this change would be problematic. The stimulus starts with the observation that each revolution of the ea…

According to the stimulus, the author is trying to argue that there were more than one causes that brought about a certain effect, on the grounds that only one cause would have been insufficient to bring this effect about: According to the author, t…

The author seeks to establish the conclusion that increased government spending on low-income housing will not cure homelessness. To establish this conclusion, the author uses as their premise the observation that enough low income housing is alread…

As a general tip: To find a given argument's conclusion, identify the part of the argument that does not support any other statements in the argument, but that itself is supported by other statements.

"These people are mistaken." Everything afterwards is support for this statement, the rest of sentence one describes the views of these other people ("Milvalle is more expensive to live in than other cities").

PTF97.S3.Q18 – Murder Rate vs. Population Growth This is a weaken question where we are supposed to assume the perspective of one of two interlocutors who seeks to weaken the other’s argument. The first participant in the discussion is a citizen w…

The author wants to argue: The skills to copy curves must be developed before the skills to copy angles. In other words, the author claims that the ability to copy curves is necessary for the ability to copy angles. Formally, the author thus seeks t…

Consider the relations between the individual elements of this argument: Which statements in this argument support other statements, and which ones do not? If a given statement is supported by the other elements of the argument without also itself s…

Louis argues: (P1) If we were to believe that other people’s intentions are generally more bad than good, then we could not trust each other. (P2) If we could not trust another, our society could not survive. (C) Therefore, it cannot be the case …

PTB.S1.Q23: The author spells out an argument to the effect that deep tillage is bad. On this basis, the author infers the conclusion that farmers should not do tillage at all. There is a gap in this argument: Why would the fact that DEEP tillage i…

Formalize as follows: "One can be at home and [...] not in one's house at all." (P1) HOME not HOUSE "One can also be in one's house but not at home [...]." (P2) HOUSE not HOME "So one's being at home is not required for one's being in one's o…

(D) does nothing to weaken; the other answer choices all have the desired weakening effect. That is, all other answers weaken the claim that the tourists illicitly sell or share passes with others: (A) If more attractions open up, the tourists migh…

Marion can take the train, even though she dislikes it. The conclusion in the argument stimulus thus does not follow. (D) picks up on this by targeting the 'hates taking the train' issue. Since Marion dislikes the train, there is prima facie eviden…

It might be helpful to rely less on other people's explanations. It sounds like you have a lot of experience with this test already, so why not try to self-assess after you took a PT to figure out on your own where you made mistakes and where you we…
