@"LOWERCASE EVERYTHING" What's your skipping strategy?
in my first round, i have pre-determined questions to skip, like parallel reasoning, flawed parallel reasoning, and anything else that demands any diagramming at all. …
if you convert your pts into pdfs, you will be able to see the writing prompts associated with each pt at the end of each test (up to pt 86, i believe).
ahh this debate continues on! i think there are fair reasons for both sides, and i'd personally pick the one that works better for you.
for example, i have a skipping strategy and i have a few pre-determined questions that i skip during my first r…
i'd try to get at least 1 academic letter. to do so, i think i'd reach out to more professors.
i'm +5 years out of undergrad, so i think i can relate.
i think asking the professors in person (during office hours) or setting up a zoom meeting first…
what are your br scores? do you feel like you have the conceptual understanding down?
in my opinion, 7sage does a really good job explaining the concepts behind logic.
obviously, practical application (i.e. how you apply your understanding) is imp…
same happened to me. in my opinion, tests in the 70s felt more technical logic (?) (not sure how to describe it). to me, tests in the 80s felt more subtle and it was easier for me to miss or misinterpret certain words; they did flow better and felt …
i used the template that 7sage offered. it has helpful info on formatting your essays. check it out!

@karko2525 from what i heard from the admissions officers, a couple of months of gap is fine. but it does seem like you have more than that (even before covid). so i would do it. i don't think the addendum would hurt.
i highly doubt it. every school's application is different and is sent separately (although the medium of delivery may be the same) and cas reports are sent only to the schools that you request to be sent.
in their application, some schools (george…

i found retakes very helpful because i'd find myself making some of the same errors. later on as you improve your skills with this exam, you can take new pts to better benchmark your progress (but be more economical with this since you only have 3 l…

yeah i did have access to them at one point. i think they are $10 and give you access to the essay banks. https://classic.7sage.com/admissions/enroll/
but even without the $10 course, i think you should be able to have access to the ge…
@canihazJD hey there so i've been summoned!
"the reason that yale accepted me is the 180 lsat score on file."
I think you could most easily throw the above into a stimulus where:
my acceptance to yale → my 180 score on file
would work…
hey @karko2525,
people find their passion and their suitable job in different ways and times.
some are k-jd (kindergarten through jd) - they knew they wanted to go to law school since they were a child. some switch their majors several times thro…
context matters, and i wouldn't always treat "is" as a group 2 indicator like "must."
for instance, "a prime example of a civil rights activist is martin luther king jr."
you can't diagram this as "civil rights activist -> martin luther king j…
i'm not sure how much (if any) applying ed can increase your chances of admission if your lsat is below a school's median. if your gpa is above a school's median to make up for the lower lsat, though, i wouldn't be surprised if a school would try to…
@"HLEGC.2003" i would also send a quick email to the specific school and tell them that you'd like your application to be evaluated with the new letter that's been sent out, just to be sure.
good luck!
i don't think one or two cancellations aren't going to be a serious red flag, especially given the nature of the flex exams and the admissions being wary of the possible internet interruptions or the changes in the testing environment.
if you're c…
i'm not sure if this will apply to you (it may apply to some others reading this post), but do keep in mind that when you apply for the bar in some states, you will be required to submit affirmations associated with any law-related employment since …
i think powerscore themselves said in their lr book somewhere that this is something that you can skip if you're running out of time and need to get the low-hanging fruits. i would skip and come back to it. with more practice in other areas of logic…
i'm also interested in public interest law; the term can encompass a lot of things and i think this might help you explore what you're interested in: https://hls.harvard.edu/dept/opia/what-is-public-interest-law/
you submit your law school apps (including your essays, transcripts, lors, etc.) to aba-approved law schools via lsac's cas service: https://www.lsac.org/applying-law-school/jd-application-process/credential-assembly-service-cas
if you have not alr…
@mashUSMM i'm glad you found them helpful!
and def apply to these schools. your other factors can easily make up for that 0.05-0.1 difference. good luck!!
yeah, if you've finished the cc for games, i think starting at 1-35 is good. (and add on to your fool-proof list if you encounter a difficult game in the pts that you take). i personally had printed out 1 copy of each game (to save trees), and put t…
this also reminds me of a webinar that i attended with the ucla's dean of admissions, rob schwartz. someone asked him if a gpa of like 2.22 (i'm not remembering the exact numbers..) will be looked similarly as someone with a 2.52. his answer was "th…
undergraduate gpas are reported to the hundredth decimal place in the 509 reports: http://www.abarequireddisclosures.org/disclosure509.aspx
you can look up your specific school and see what their exact medians are.
if you hit the median, that jus…
the words "different environments" in answer choice d are pretty ambiguous; like what i think you're saying, they can mean "soils that are too low in minerals." but it can also mean different environments like tundra, deserts, grasslands, rainforest…
i think d is tempting, because it is compatible with the information in the stimulus but is actually not supported by the information, thus making this answer choice wrong. this mss question from the older test feels kinda unique too - it's like a p…
