Gonna play some devil's advocate here (i.e. purposely over-the-top semi-hostile tone incoming): For those of you who advocate for a heavier weight on uGPA: I can theoretically buy that uGPA can be a measure of how hard you try at school to some ext…

EDIT: Accidental half-finished post was here. Full post below (read if you dare).

What premise does it share? Jane's premise is that there is no widely accepted basis for evaluating sound. Which of Mark's statements does that support? You're way overthinking sound versus tone. Here, Mark is clearly referring to the guitar's soun…

Facebook becomes essentially unusable, especially when the Supreme Court is releasing their end-of-term rulings.

I don't think it's even remotely in question that having a good tutor is an advantage. The fact that it's possible to learn the test via struggling through it yourself is not mutually exclusive with the fact that having someone there to guide you in…

@kevin0705 said: For example, according to "Logical Reasoning Bible" by claiming that A caused B, the author assumes that A is the only cause for B and thereby assume that if A does not happen, B does not happen. I'd love to see a citation to this…

Do them all. If they're as easy as you think they are, then it won't take you very long to dispose of them again, right? I mean, you literally just did them. And if you struggle, then I guess it's kind of awkward that you thought it was an easy ques…

It's a completely new, previously unreleased test. IIRC it's got comparative reading, too, meaning it's post-2007.

I disagree A LOT with the idea that 5 section tests aren't important. I've worked with enough people whose performance takes a nose dive specifically in section 5 regardless of section type or section difficulty that I will never ever allow any stud…

Yeah, nothing special about 72. Even with the last game, it didn't seem any different to me difficulty-wise than any of the last 10 or so tests. Even the last game, unprecedented as it was, was no different than any other game that hinges on a key i…

I think Pacifico is referring to a certain hospital placement game, not outright contradictory rules like "A is in 3, A can't be in 3". You two are talking about the same thing, just with different semantics. To the OP: I don't mean to be harsh, b…

Brain farts aren't brain farts if they happen regularly. The mere knowledge of how to do something means nothing if you can't execute when called upon, so you'd better figure out how you managed to hang yourself in this instance despite (theoretical…

I'm pretty sure that's not true - the T14 is the T14 because it's been consistent for like 2 decades now. A quick google search gave me this link: http://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=213 The order varies, but the only ranking of…

c.janson is correct. This is a perfect example of why JY teaches the negation test as "It is not the case that...", and how just sticking the word "not" into the statement to negate it will get you in trouble. "Must not" is the opposite of "must", n…

Guess I know where I won't be on September 22...

If your skimming of the other answer choices is half-hearted, then it is indeed a waste of time. You might as well not be doing it at all. That doesn't make POE less valuable, it just means that your implementation of it is poor. The theoretical be…

Look, it's really quite simple. There are 24 hours in a day, and a 5-section preptest takes about 3.2 hours. Therefore, if you're not doing 7 a day, you're a slacker. Duh.

Depends on how you feel about copyright infringement lawsuits, I imagine.

Oh, and if you want to drop me topic suggestions, I'm happy to field them via PM. I'm going to be unreal busy for the rest of the cycle (and probably through December), but occasionally I find the inspiration to write and it's easier for me to indul…

@c.janson35 nailed it. Timing strategies are crutches - implicit admissions that your skills are not up to par so you have to compensate some other way to maximize your points in the short run. Timing will come when your skills are up to par, and no…

Just omit a letter and call him Sage.

Admission with those numbers is not unheard of, but very unlikely especially for a non-URM candidate. Odds are you won't get into any T14 with those numbers, though T20 is a reasonable bet. If you're okay with that, fine. If not, retake.

Man, you think the LSAT is bad, just wait until you get to the bar exam.

A lot of you guys are saying this is a waste of time, but I don't think it's all that different than what most people do anyway. The first read is obviously non-negotiable. You have to read the game to understand the situation. The read to check …

Popping in to deal with some of the conversation above. All this talk about 'generous' curves is completely meaningless. The curve is set where it is to normalize results and match them up to the past three years worth of tests, so you're not actual…

I always read every answer choice, because that's how I catch my errors. The goal here is not to find ways to cut out portions of the process - it's to know the material well enough that you can do everything the way it's supposed to be done, and st…

I'd never seen the section before. If I had, I would probably have answered the tough questions much faster, as I would naturally have thought about them more so that I could explain them better to my students. And, if I wanted to make myself look r…
