I can only comment on the American system so if anyone with knowledge of the Canadian system sees this, please jump in. You need to disclose this to any school which asks about academic censure in their C&F, which I believe is all schools. I w…

I just don't see the point because you either had more time to study or studied harder and adcoms would know that. I agree. Several Dean's have said they want one whenever you break a new score band, though.
-
I think so. Just keep it brief. I submitted one to each of my schools since my scores were pretty wonkey (159>164>174)
-
One thing that's been lost in this conversation is that you applied to 37 schools. Is that true? If these applications have already gone out, that means you've paid $1,600 in CAS fees. While I would still recommend you not ask this question, if you…

What is your goal score and what is your avg PT raw score for each section?
-
@john1roger Please don't ask the school to pay for your LSAC fee. You are asking whether a school will pay you to apply to their school. If schools did this, I'm sure you would find it easily in a Google search. I think AdComs would scoff at receivi…

Skip to LG in the CC, complete all modules, and foolproof as many logic games as you can. Here's how to foolproof: https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/2737/logic-games-attack-strategy. I wouldn't expect much change in your score betwe…

You've got it twisted. I wrestled with this in the past too. Causal arguments must abide the temporal conditions suggested by A causes B. For example, if one suggests that a specific asteroid caused the extinction of dinosaurs, then it must be true…

*Premise 1: not (home + backyard -> house) Premise 2: not (house -> home) Conclusion: not (house -> home) *This doesn't actually support the argument. This is an odd question but I suppose I'd classify it as Argument Part. The part woul…

Where did you find this question?

@10000019 Says who? Being at the median is the most important thing. Splitterdom is an unpredictable and unforgiving realm where compensation is key. Reaching the median, unfortunately, provides far less security when your GPA is below the med…

Nah. I spent a lot of time studying when I would have rather been a million other places. Deferred gratification is a hell of a thing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delayed_gratification

If your recommenders didn’t offer, it might be best not to ask. The downside would seem to be limited to offending your recommenders though and shouldn’t affect your apps. I hear it’s pretty rare for schools to call recommenders and it’s unlikely yo…

@soomies I would get 13 correct on LG and 7 correct on LR and about 6 correct on RC. It varies but LG would always be the highest for me. For LG i would miss the last game, for LR i would miss the last 7 questions and RC i barely make the last s…
-
What are your section averages? How many do you miss, on average, for a single section of LG, LR, and RC?
-
148 diagnostic in September do 2016 to 174 on the July administration.
-
Hard “no” on friends and family for LOR.
-
Leave it blank when possible for any school which could be considered your safety.
-
2 pages double spaced will meet most schools’ guidelines. You’ll have to confirm for each school before submitting though.
-
Mine is working now.

I never went -0 in RC but I did go from -8 avg to -4 avg. What helped me most was getting better at identifying the function of paragraphs (support, competing view, authors recommendation etc) and building brief (less than 10 words) paragraph summa…
-
@"Pride Only Hurts" Haha really says a lot because I didn't second guess it. I know you studied for a long time based on your old posts. I think we both had the same diagnostic. (146) Definitely has made my journey more bearable knowing others h…
-
@"Pride Only Hurts" AH! My excel was set to "sum" not "count". That's embarrassing. It's 1,300 attempts not 22,000. It's still aver 9 attempts per game. I continued to come back to each game I had "foolproofed" a few months/weeks later because doing…
-
Same here. Driving me nuts but I've seen several folks share the same experience and seen no one say it's working properly.
-
Very helpful. Don't discount these. They're not that different. I used them as timed sections to practice my test taking processes like skipping/timing. RC was particular helpful for developing a rythm.
-
@"Pride Only Hurts" @lpark315 said: I'm dealing with the same problem, and it's usually because of oversight - i.e. I didn't double check the rules earlier, or pay closer attention to the rules in the initial setup of the game boar…
-
I only used 4 sections and I don’t regret it. I think it depends on where you are in your prep. But 5 sections is def not necessary.
-
@180degrees ah right! sorry about that.
-
There are no specific sections I'd recommend and I've done 1-35 about ten times. Foolproofing works because you eventually see how the games are all the same and new games no longer seem new... "oh this is a double layer sequencing game with in/out …
-
@"Rigid Designator" @180degrees I would follow these instructors to the letter. I cut parts of my PS so that even with my Why X paragraph, the PS remained 2 pages. Seems that in the various interviews I've seen or article I've read, a common point …
