As @AllezAllez21 said, it is important to slow down when reading the more difficult passages. You are always trying to do the same thing while reading, i.e., understanding the argument structure and how all the pieces fit into that structure. This a…
Though I'm not sure what they'd lose by offering the waiver. If they were really scared that such candidates would reject them (and affect their stats negatively), they could just reject them or wait list them after they applied.

@FerdaFresh and @jkatz1488 What bothered me further was that the credited answer for the analogy question is saying that the cosmologists are going to look at other subatomic particles (i.e. other family members) for further explanation. That seems…

What are people's thoughts/preferences on bubbling? Do you bubble as you go or at the end of each section? Also is it safe to roughly fill in the bubbles(by roughly, I mean a quick dark sc…
Another way of thinking about this is that "except" and "without" are basically synonyms for "or." That is, when you say that A will happen unless B, your are basically saying A will happen, or else B will happen.
@LSATcantwin That's 7Sage for you. As you said, people who have not worked hard on the LSAT cannot really understand what you're going through, but many of us do!
Logistically, what @Freddy_D did is a great idea, but as @LSATcantwin said, a hotmail or gmail account is not a problem. When people argue for "professional" they mean not to use a cutesy or potentially embarrassing domain or user name. For example,…
@uhinberg I'm currently going into depth with the Trainer and PS Bibles. They both offer nuanced differences, but I think it might all be in the execution with me. 35min is just to little of time for my brain to function lol

Really feeling for you, @LSATcantwin. I'm sure you can eventually get the score you want.
Sometimes a fresh perspective on certain sections of the test can give you both a confidence boost and a score boost, even if your fundamentals are strong. L…
I doubt they can see anything before it's been completed.
Some schools give out waivers to those who e-mail them and show interest, even without demonstrating need. Just e-mail the admissions committee and try.
@tringo335 This blog post is a very good explanation; take a look. It shows how describing the difficulty of a particular administration of the LSAT based solely on the 170 curve is misleading. Just a small example. There are many questions below a …

The 99 year sentence is indeed abhorrent, but he is being executed for another murder.

Why would he even consider the repercussions of killing a correctio…
Just to clarify: I'm not taking a position on whether he should be executed for the second murder, only that the original post makes it sound like he is being executed for the original crime.

(1) For schools with a max, make absolutely sure not to go over. In general, not sticking to rules is greatly frowned upon (Same goes for guidelines about font and margin size). (2) As far as schools that say approx. 2 pages, I think that 2 and 3/4 …
