  • You get five sheets of scratch paper for the test. They can be lined, unlined, or graphed, and you can use both sides of each sheet. There's no restrictions on when you can or can't use them during the test, so every section is fair game. (From the…
  • The opposite of weakening is strengthening. If you reduce the proportion of the people too much, the answer will become irrelevant or a strengthening answer and thus is incorrect. 50/50 could be irrelevant Changing the answer to "Sales to…
  • @"Learned Astronomer" the particular place where JY discusses study timeframes is here. Definitely it is true that everybody has different mileage here, but people do also tend to underestimate the raw time commitment that the LSAT requires.
  • At the top menu hover over 'LSAT Questions' and choose 'PrepTests'. For every test you've taken, there's a little trashcan icon next to it to delete it. I haven't tested it to see if it disappears from analytics, but I expect it does.
  • JY discusses study timeframes a fair bit here, which I definitely recommend reading. Keep in mind that the study timeframe you're proposing (4 months, 2-3 hours/day) is much lower than conventional. Another thing to consider is how much time you'll…
  • Four sections, but only three of them are scored. The fourth section is the "Experimental Section" and has no impact on your score whatsoever. It could be LR, LG, or RC and has an equal chance of being each; there's no way to tell when you take the…
  • @Facts_or_Feelings said: So, is it possible that there could be 2 LG? fingers crossed There definitely could be (33% chance), but only one of them would be scored- the experimental section never affects your score.
  • You might want to take a look at the 7sage approved tutors list. Not everyone has openings right now, but there's a good variety of rates and experience levels. For books, the LSAT Trainer by Mike Kim seems to be suggested a lot. I have a copy too …
  • It is always true that the thing before the arrow is sufficient for the thing after, and the thing after is necessary for the thing before. A --> B A is sufficient to ensure B. B is necessary in order to have A. You could also have two rules:…
  • I wouldn't worry too much about the auto-generated study schedule. It's a tool that takes the dates you give it, then tries to spread an awful lot of course and preptest content across the timeframe you picked. It's helpful for longer timeframes lik…
  • If you mean one highlighter that has multiple color options, yes. But you can't have different highlighters of different colors. Generally, your desktop must be clear of anything not test-related and should only have: Five blank sheets of s…
  • To keep dense requirements and relationships better stuck in my head, I tend to translate things into more over-the-top, emotive phrases. It's never 'Z and Y can't be together,' it's always 'Z and Y despise each other.' Things that must be true are …
  • Personally I think if the score is within your range, albeit low, it isn't too terrible to keep. If bad luck lightning strikes on your next test, it's a better position to be in thinking 'Do I try to apply with 156?' vs 'I have absolutely nothing I …
  • The stimulus is structured: 1) Major scandal and all parties are equally to blame -> incumbents win regardless of party 2) Major scandal and one party is to blame -> that party's incumbents likely to lose And of five principles that voters …
  • The times are very fast and though they are a useful goalpost for single logic games, ultimately finishing a full 4-game section from a single preptest in 35 minutes is the true arbiter of your LG speed abilities. I find that if I'm taking a full p…
  • Law schools also cannot even see that you have requested or received accommodations. From the official accommodation policy page: Please note that LSAC does not annotate the score reports of individuals with disabilities who take the LSAT with t…
  • @mere_mortal I feel this pain. I keep seeing LG talked about as 'the part anyone can work hard at and then they're good at it' while LR and RC are considered the real trials and tribulations. This weird split of dying to LG but breezing through the…
  • If you practice with the four section tests you can get your three-section score by putting the number you missed in each of those sections into the 7sage flex score converter: https://classic.7sage.com/lsat-flex-score-converter/
  • Definitely read the official 'getting ready for the flex' page here: https://www.lsac.org/lsat/taking-lsat/getting-ready-your-lsat-flex-exam 1) You can take it on a desktop. To show the rest of the room, you'll need a mirror, a cell phone, or a web…
  • I would love to see a feature like this but it seems like a flawless way to do it would be impossible. The problem is that LSAC doesn't release experimental sections (which makes sense because future nonexperimental sections will be made from those…
