That's great but not everyone has access to that video explanation. Thanks for the response.
True, well, good thing I ended up responding anyway! What do you think, does it make sense?
Do you find that your first section is consistently your worst when doing PTs?
If so, then a couple easy warm up LR problems sounds like a good idea.
If not, then don't do this, and save your energy for the actual thing. Maaaybe do some light read…
For logic games, yes, you want to assume an inclusive "or" if it doesn't say "not both." But I think they usually write something like, "at least one of X or Y has to be . . . " to avoid that confusion?
But make sure you check this out if you haven…
I was going to respond but JY's video explanation expresses it perfectly. There's a correlation between coat patterns and habitats of animals, and what answer choice a gets us to consider--as a solution to this anomaly--is that the REASON for this c…
We're looking for an answer that, if true, would weaken Clay's argument.
Clay says that there's no life on other planets, because we haven't detected any planets, and planets are required for there to be life. In other words his argument is:
extr…
At this point, maybe you want to take another PT tomorrow or Saturday, preferably in a public place like a library and as "simulated" (to mirror test-day conditions, including time of the day, etc.) as possible. But beyond that, just keep your brain…
I'm sorry, this sounds like an awful hassle! Hope that it can get resolved.
You might want to make your post a little more clear so that people can try to help you. What do you mean by "LSAC insists (after an hour long wait-time) that I get the sch…
They will see it. You should write an addendum if and only if you have a good reason for why you did poorly. Though just saying you took it when you weren’t quite prepared enough may be sufficient. But don’t fret, law schools give far more weight to…
Unfortunately, LSAC does not provide cell phone lockers in any official capacity. But you should call your test center in advance and see if they can hold your phone for you. Some centers have done this in the past.
Technically I’ve heard of people having their phone in their pocket through the exam and not having an issue, but I would strongly advise against doing that because it’s really not worth the risk—a violation could end up on your record and at the ve…
So it sounds like you were choosing between C and E.
E is wrong because the argument doesn't say that. The argument goes,
if Candy manufacturers AREN'T held responsible for health problems caused by candy consumers, then Tobacco companies SHOULDN'…
It's not a big deal at all. I'd just put a brief addenda saying you intended to withdraw because you wanted to wait to take the LSAT when you were ready, but missed the deadline. Something like that. Even if you don't write an addenda I don't think …
Skimming is the worst thing you can do on the LSAT. Pause for a second after everything you read and ask yourself if you properly understood it. If not, why? Try to dissect what happened. But don't move on until you've properly absorbed whatever you…
Haha it's not just you... I scored a 179 and I swear I tripped up on the "EXCEPT"s so many times during PTs. I still have to be careful with it when I'm tutoring!
Brandi's advice is great!! I think that's what I ended up doing too.
Another thing t…
On the link you provided, click on "Take a Digital LSAT Practice Test Now" and you can try it out so you see what it's like.
Yes and yes
You can highlights words in the stimulus. It's just for your own reference, as if you were highlighting the ex…

schools only take your highest.
You don't have to take my word for it, but this isn't the full truth. They definitely care most about your highest, in large part because that's what affects their rankings. But schools care a…
If you go to https://classic.7sage.com/enroll/, under the Premium option, at the bottom of the long list of perks it should say +X months access. I think it might be +3 months, but I'm not sure. But you'll know from that.
The stimulus is essentially saying:
Scientific theories are in flux.
Why are they in flux? Is it because of a lack of theoretical rigor?
No, it's because of a general pattern of scientific progress, in which fields of science have to reorganize s…
More abstractly, the architect says: "because B, we can conclude C".
The engineer doesn't say, "I agree that B, but based on B, we can actually conclude X (alternative conclusion)."
Rather, the engineer says, "I agree that B, but you're taking for…
Is the engineer using that piece of evidence (that stone buildings don't like water) to draw a different conclusion? Or is he using a new piece of evidence to do so?
Remember, the question is asking what the engineer does in order to respond to the…
Many schools have January as the cutoff for the last LSAT date they will accept. So you want to check on each school's website to make sure they actually accept the February LSAT.
For those that do, some schools have a spot in the application that …

First let's understand why the reasoning is flawed. We can break the argument down like this:
YXK is the TV network with the most viewers
Out of all of YXK's programs, Bliss has the most viewers
Therefore,
Bliss has the most viewers of ANY progra…

I will be writing again in January and April . . .
This made me stop for a second. If you're taking it in April, I assume you're applying the next cycle, so you have some time. If that's the ca…
If you're planning on taking the February LSAT and won't be swayed otherwise, I would spend 80% of your time on logic games since that's the section you can most easily improve on in a shorter amount of time.
Are you aiming for February because you…
The flaw in the architect's argument is a "fails to consider" one. The architect fails to consider that buildings could be cleaned with something other than water, which would render the whole conclusion false. D is correct because the engineer spec…
Major congrats on the Penn acceptance I saw your post before about having the interview with them so I'm glad to hear that it worked out for you!
I'm not sure about any official 0L prep, and that might be something you could reach out to current s…
