Common misconceptions re LR questions: "Most Strongly Supported is not as definite as Must Be True." No, MSS varies thematically and structurally from the more formal MBT tasks, but precise use of likelihood language, for example, means they always pass the "Fact Test." #LSAT

With the size of this outage, it's going to be a challenge on their customer service to work through this quickly, so I think everyone will have to be a bit patient, even though I know how stressful this is!

These are the numbers to call with LSAT issues. If they are busy (quite likely), then you can also use the online form in your LSAC account to document the problems you had with today's exam.

Irregularities in LSAT administrations used to be local occurrences that, while serious, were usually containable. With all due consideration for the challenge of implementing mass administration of a CBT during a pandemic, resolutions need to be focused on the needs of students.

One of my students prepared for months for this exam, was halfway through her third section, and got BSOD'd 15 minutes in. They tossed the entire exam, and now she has to reschedule and prepare again. This seriously disrupts people's preparation and admission plans.
There are reports of October LSAT takers having some technical issues. LSAC is aware of the issue and is investigating, and will provide updates when they get them. This is the first day of the exam, so if there are any serious issues there is still time for rescheduling, etc.

If your LSAT is Saturday, then today you should rest and relax, and mentally prepare for the exam. For all others, keep studying!

Here's a thought: if your reason for filing a lawsuit starts with "to show them that... ," you shouldn't file your lawsuit. Sue to get money, or to make someone do something they promised to do, or to stop someone from doing something that's harming you. That's it.

While it's always good to focus on newer LSATs when taking practice tests, older tests can still prove to be quite useful if you're running out of newer content. @DaveKilloran explains why you shouldn't avoid them: blog.powerscore.com/lsat/bid…

So many unfilled jobs, so many unemployed people, what's going on? Undesirable work situations, resume-scanning robots, employers that lack creative hiring vision, and more. vox.com/recode/22673353/unem…
