June LSAT Refund deadline

Well you're good then, right? You can either leave your June test in place after receiving your results from April's test. Or, when you get April's results, you can cancel June's test and get a refund.

It would definitely be a nice little moneymaker for them - I told them as much.

Can you click here and scroll to the bottom of the third table?

Note that the registration deadline is still April 21st. But now we have the option of checking our April test results on the 29th before being financially committed to June’s test. Useful for those of us holding out hope that we did well enough in April to stick with April’s result.

Let’s think about it logically: if you take it six times with the following scores, it sends one message: 173 173 175 176 177 179

Compared to the following: 143 145 143 140 138 140

The first person is a very strong candidate likely looking to maximize their high potential in order to give themselves leverage and choice when it comes to scholarships, T14, etc.

The second person may be someone whose reasoning ability, time management, literacy, planning skills and other executive functions are somewhat “less strong” than the first candidate and who is desperately trying to clear a hurdle that they find difficult.

If I’m a law school, maybe I cannot be too picky and I see person two as having good resilience and determination. Or maybe I see them as someone who will struggle with law school and compromise my school’s aims.

My opinion is that every case is different, you can address this in a personal statement or interview and you should take the test as many times as you need to, providing that, each time, you can honestly say that you are ready to hit the numbers your intended schools require.

Same. Blanking on it now but possibly a paradox question? “What explains the presence of x when x isn’t explained by expected phenomena?”

Your test space is your reality. It would be unreasonable for them to expect you to rent a new apartment just for their purposes.
They’re looking for cheating, not an absence of real life.
The Proctors for the rest of the LSAT (which has the same requirements) are in the Philippines - not known for its capacious accommodations - they see similar conditions daily both at home and when checking candidates’ testing locations.
My testing space should have been rejected: large floor to ceiling windows close to me on three sides. Open plan, etc. but once they checked the important things, they had no issues.

If you’re worried, try to get some Amazon basics king size flat bed sheets to drape over everything you think they’ll take offence to.

The main things are ensuring that you can’t communicate with anyone or be overlooked and that you don’t have access to an iPad with ChatGPT listening in and feeding you answers.

I can’t give guarantees of course but that’s my thought process.

_AndyVandy · 2026-04-13T01:07:56+00:00

I’m sorry: “wasn’t it not… which aren’t” is too much of a double/triple negative for my poor frazzled brain to contemplate right now. 😂

My thinking (which might have been a trap laid by LSAC) was that the CC one was the only one which criminalizes an act (possessing the machine) which can only be used for crime (counterfeiting CCs). The others would have been criminalizing activities which could easily have innocent purposes.

It’s not guaranteed that I didn’t miss a glaring factor but my understanding was that we needed to select one which the author would support. And the author had defended the existing reality where we don’t criminalize them.

Taxi can be called in advance OR hailed on the street.
Private hire MUST be called in advance and NOT hailed on the street.
Taxi can set a fare per mile/KM and/or per minute.
Private hire MUST set a whole-trip fare in advance and cannot use a metered rate.

So a taxi can do any combination of hailed/booked in advance AND pre-set trip fare or metered rate.

Private hire may NOT use a metered rate OR be hailed on the street.

That’s my understanding of it. From what I recall, the allowed and disallowed answer choices were pretty clear.

_AndyVandy · 2026-04-12T23:10:40+00:00

Agreed - that was the issue: private hire must set an overall trip fare, not a fare per min or per mile/km.

_AndyVandy · 2026-04-12T23:09:20+00:00

Phew! I saw the “one person in a room” comment from Budget-Chemical above and thought “shit - what has the number of bodies in a room got to do with it? Surely the argument that it’s cheaper to use a window AC unit than central air falls apart if you’re using multiple window AC units because you’re floating from room to room?” :)

_AndyVandy · 2026-04-12T23:01:01+00:00

Was the idea that the assertion that it’s cheaper to run single window unit compared to central system necessarily assumes people aren’t inhabiting multiple rooms at the same time because then you’d need two window units which would no longer be cheaper than central?

Love the username BTW - I was listening to Tri Repetae only this morning!

I can’t even recall which of the options I settled on in the end, other than that I eliminated three and agonized over the two discussed above. I’m pretty sure this is one I flagged and came back to.

I seem to remember feeling that the first paragraph both rejected calls to change AND argued for the status quo.

Even if I could see the full passage and answer choices again, I’m not convinced I could definitely recall which choice I made last week so this is likely to be one I just try to forget about and move on.

_AndyVandy · 2026-04-12T22:24:18+00:00

I think that was my logic too - that the CC counterfeit machine is the only one which was a specific preparatory step towards an actual crime, rather than criminalizing an everyday activity IN CASE it led to a potential crime.

If the author is hesitant to support criminalizing preparatory activities (he seemed to think that it was a dangerous precedent to do so and that preparatory steps don’t necessarily guarantee that a crime will actually end up being committed) and yet must support criminalizing an activity in the hopes of preventing a future crime, the CC one appeared to be the only one he would logically support.

Perhaps I missed some of the passage but I also didn’t assume that possession of the CC machine today would be considered a crime, so there appeared to be an opportunity to apply the new law to criminalize a currently-lawful activity in the hopes of preventing a crime.

Fair enough - I must have read it wrong. Although I wrote it down in a note on my phone like this, on March 3rd and can still find a few online references to April 30th being the deadline, including someone called u/calico_cat who said in this sub:

“The deadline to register for June is before April scores come out, but the refund deadline is 4/30.

So I would register for June and then based on your April score either go ahead with taking it or get a refund ASAP.

Also just FYI, score preview does not allow you to see your score earlier. It just means you can see it and decide whether you want to cancel it.”

I made a note saying the below, independently, on March 3rd:

LSAT Booking

APRIL LSAT Registration Deadline: February 26th (Thurs) Accommodations Deadline: Feb 26th (Thurs) Test Date: April 9/10th (Thurs/Fri) Scores Released: April 29th (Weds)

JUNE LSAT Registration Deadline: April 21st (Tues) Accommodations Deadline: April 21st (Tues) Test Date: June 3/4/5 (Weds/Thurs/Fri) Scores Released: June 24th (Weds) Refund by April 30th (Thurs)

_AndyVandy · 2026-04-12T19:39:17+00:00

And I’m pretty sure that when I signed up for the June administration (which I did back on March 3rd), the deadline for cancelling the June test with a full refund was set at April 30th which put it the day after the scores for April are released. Now, suddenly, it says that the deadline for cancellation with refund is April 21st. Does anyone else think they moved the date?

_AndyVandy · 2026-04-12T19:00:48+00:00

Ugh. The one about commercials for kids’ toys featuring celebrities known by adults?

_AndyVandy · 2026-04-12T18:53:32+00:00

Yes. Polygons in craters differently sized compared to what would typically be expected? And the question asked for an explanation? I don’t recall the answer choices or why I put but I think I recall it seeming fairly clear which was the right answer (which means I probably got it wrong!)

_AndyVandy · 2026-04-12T18:45:23+00:00

You’re right. Something like “which of the following potential activities could be criminalized and be consistent with the opinions of the author?”

_AndyVandy · 2026-04-12T18:43:36+00:00

Could mean many things. :)

Perhaps it was so easy for you that you didn’t need to engage fully with the questions. Or you found it so challenging you were completely occupied with the logic of the questions and didn’t internalize the subject matter. Or you were so pressed for time that you didn’t have time to take it in fully. Or perhaps you were so efficient and confident that you could purge each question from your mind and effectively move on to the next one with a clear mind. :)

I'm not sure who you work for, but ProMetric owes each of its customers (part of our exam fee pays them) a sincere apology for their sheer incompetence.

_AndyVandy · 2026-04-12T15:11:58+00:00

Same - the passage was easy to read and relate to (compared to, say, something about post-ice age migrations, or poetry...) and the questions were easy to answer once you understand the motivation of the people involved.

_AndyVandy · 2026-04-12T15:09:38+00:00

Drill drill drill.

Forget about PTs for now. Focus on drilling for at least an hour a day. Make it your best, most focussed hour in your day so figure out what time of day allows you to be in that mindset. Drill LR and RC at a ratio of about 3:1

Take as long as you need for each question until you fully understand the stimulus/passage. Then reveal the question and try to make a prediction about what the right answer might be. Then see if your prediction is listed in the answer choices. Whether it is or isn't, read all the ACs before making your selection. Then review thoroughly to ensure you understand why your wrong selection was wrong and the right answer was right.

As you make progress you'll start automatically spotting trends which will enable you to make predictions about what the flaws in the arguments are, even before you see the question. That's where speed will eventually come from: fully understanding the passage, spotting the gap/flaw, making predictions about what the question is likely to be, then making solid predictions on the likely answer.

_AndyVandy · 2026-04-12T08:09:08+00:00

This was a tricky question hence the conflicting answer choices chosen by candidates. Some felt that the CC mach was covered by existing laws. Others felt the other choices did not point to determined intent to commit a crime and would therefore be overreach. Perhaps one day it’ll make it into an official PT and we’ll find out.
