@"Alex Divine" said: @"marvin.dike" said: Does anyone know what he got on the LSAT he took to get into Harvard? I want to say a 173, but I'm not 100% sure where I saw that. He said so himself on a thread in this forum. Hi…

Correlation can never prove causation, so concluding causation on the basis of correlation is a logical flaw, but correlation can strengthen the case, sometimes a little bit, sometimes a lot.

If any CBDs had ever been hot enough to destroy lithium, you could not conclude that any star that has lithium is not a CBD -- perhaps it is a CBD but had been hot enough at one point to destroy all lithium. So it sounds like it totally destroys the…

Glad to see that someone else find the Art passages the most difficult.

I think most people use games from PT 1-35, so they can save the later stuff for full-length tests.

@LSATiscoming I don't mind going back and forth about some of the questions. PM me.

Interestingly, on the Powerscore blog, one of their test prep experts claimed that it was a very average RC section.

LSAC threatened banning any school that uses other standardized tests from using their data base. Articles about his can be found on Above the Law. Monopolies tend to be very protective of their territories.

Breaking LSAC's monopoly can potentially have some good results for consumers.

If you don't have patience to read the entire document, here's a great highlight: The Standardized Test Mandate Does Not Fit Its Claimed Purpose We disagree that the requirement for a law school admission test “is important in enforcing the requi…

For anyone who is interested, here is a document signed by several Law School deans, questioning why the LSAT should be required for law school admissions. https://www.americanbar.org/content/dam/aba/administrative/legal_education_and_admissions_to…

@"Alex Divine" Who is to say that the objective standard for every student should be the LSAT. Maybe it should be the GRE. Northwestern claims that it conducted some sort of study that yielded a correlation between GRE and 1st year law grades (they …

But LSAT is not trying to test knowledge; it's trying to test your aptitude for law school. It's not trying to make sure that you know certain things before they let you in. And yes, a cold 170 is much more meaningful. That's partly why Yale is so i…

The best test for aptitude is a test that is taken without studying. Arguably, a great score after intense studying shows little more than work ethic. Nothing to sneeze at, but not what an aptitude test is supposed to measure.

The slow death of the LSAT continues . . .

For (D) to work, you'd have to have a steady and significant increase in the population. You can't just assume that.

All games from PT 1-40 are also available in Powerscore's Logic Game Training By Type (2 volumes). Vol. 2 is out of print, but can be bought used, sometimes at a reasonable price.

The stimulus doesn't say anything about population increasing in the past few decades. Now, I could grant you that that might be a common sense assumption, but you still don't know anything about the degree of the population increase, or whether its…

But @"Accounts Playable" Holmes did much harm as well. Ask Carrie Buck.

Hey @TheMikey looking at many of the inane rules LSAC has come up with can give you the same confidence boost. See, for example, the rule banning earplugs.

Publish date is October.

Problem is that 7Sage is a self-selecting community of nice people! There are a lot of nasty people out there, and conservatives do sometimes have a hard time in school. Just look into the crazy stuff that was going on in some law schools last year…

Thanks, @"Cant Get Right"

Great points, @Harrison_Pav. I know of stories that support virtually all of them. The effects of premium test prep cannot be understated. Likewise, for the different ways that the pressure on test day and testing conditions -- unique to each testi…
-
@"Alex Divine" I think we all agree that a standardized test should play some role in the admissions process. The question, though, is whether the present form is the best it could possibly be. I don't see anyone doing any research to compare the pr…
-
@"Accounts Playable" I agree with everything you said. @tringo335 Yes, there is some correlation, but if you look at the numbers and ask a statistician if it's strong, he'll tell you that it is decidedly not. LSAC banks on the fact that most peopl…

@AJordanMD Who says that it's a good thing that you can work hard at it and do well (and then get in to the best schools) no matter where you're starting. Recent research has shown that correlation between LSAT scores and success in law school is pa…
