  • I'm going to have them recycled into diapers I can wear during the GMAT... LSAT paper is super absorbent... #diapergameisstrong
  • Massages lasting longer than 60 minutes have been shown to decrease activity in the frontal lobe due to excess relaxation, with recovery times taking anywhere from 24-48 hours. Here is a news report from a Palo Alto station about the Stanford neuros…
  • To me the goal of BR during RC is not to develop a depth of knowledge of each passage in order to regurgitate it in conversation. The goal is to understand why all four wrong answers are wrong, and the right answer is correct. It's about finding the…
  • Yeah just keep in mind that everything is based on national demographics and not any particular school's demographics.
  • I'd save at least 5 of the more recent PTs for December/January and just start over with the PTs you have taken to extract even greater learning from the retakes. Just remember that BR is even more important that second time around.
  • I'd say given your timeline you're better off doing Feb/June 2016 with October as an emergency fall back. No need to rush your prep if you have another year to apply and aren't where you need to be yet.
  • @c.janson35 said: in general, I don't think it's appropriate to assign sufficiency to a causal relationship. It's not something I would diagram. A cause and effect relationship isn't identical to a conditional relationship, so imposing conditionali…
  • You can easily go on LSN and find people that got money even after they were waitlisted and then accepted. I'd drop these people like a bad habit. There are no deadlines for scholarships so this person has no idea what they are talking about. Plus e…
  • All the advice you cite is some hot garbage. If you can't even finish each section you have no business even sitting for an actual administration. A score that low and not finishing any sections means you have serious issues with your fundamentals. …
  • No, you're fine taking either October or December. Better score, even on a retake, even one point, is better in December than the alternative in October. At this point, just chill out, do your best on October 3rd and don't stress too much since you'…
  • Sounds good to me :P Great job pointing out the necessary assumptions as well!
  • That's about 3 per week so not too bad IMO...
  • But that argument is just speaking to government changing the categorizations that one falls under, not one changing their own race while sitting in their kitchen filling out law school applications. Due to the official channels this must percolate …
  • To the last two posters: I couldn't say for sure since I'm not an URM so I haven't really bothered to research this that much. However, I will reiterate that if you are not a white Caucasian you will receive a boost until such time that any court or…
  • Definitely doable... Just shore up your gaps in knowledge with the Trainer, max out your Lg and make sure you're doing some great, clean copy BR.
  • Or just go ahead and do it. It's just jury duty. It's not like you're working 16-20 hour days or anything like that. I don't really see how it's any different than people who are working full time and studying.
  • Given the bang-up job their customer service seems to be doing lately I would not rely on them mailing you anything aside from a new watch if you order another one. Even the little watch/jewelry repair kiosks at the mall should be able to repair thi…
  • I've hated BC since I was a child so I would go to schools outside the top 100 over BC.
  • @nicole.hopkins said: And I still think that mirrors passage in 71 might have broken my brain. Guys am I really seeing the chair in the mirror or is the mirror a portal into my imagination ... I read that one and was comforted to know I'm not the…
  • I'd say generally in both America and Canada it can range from who cares (because you're a dime a dozen) to a slightly heavier feather. I think that the maturity and personal/professional development aspect is regarded as more important than what yo…
  • I don't think you need to go overboard and foolproof these games a ton of times, but I think it is an excellent idea to familiarize yourself with what weird can look like. I think a lot of the difficulty in many of the weird games is just due to the…
  • @DumbHollywoodActor said: Also, there are many genetic twin games out there that make the same inferences. If you have those memorized, more power to you. This is a big part of LG success in my opinion. If every game was completely unique then per…
  • Just drop the ~$300 on everylsat.com to get all the PTs and then you'll have nothing to ever worry about and you can do easy clean copy BR. All things considered it is a minuscule investment in helping determine the course of the rest of your life.
  • Are you doing clean copy BR? If your BR scores are under 160 you really need to revisit some of the curriculum or possibly consult the Trainer. The general closeness of your timed and BR scores indicates to me you are using the copy you tested on wh…
  • 12 tests in 14 days will burn you out and the results will not be pretty. Just don't be surprised if and when that approach comes back to haunt you. There's a reason why you never see this strategy employed or recommended by top scorers.
  • If you had trouble on PT 68, Game 4 I just posted an explanation for it in the comments on that page last week. It got me through in under 7 minutes.
  • You don't have enough data to go on to warrant stopping for drilling. Add in an LG section as a fifth section and you should be good to go for the time being. I find LG to be pretty fun so I will just do a random section whenever I have time.
  • This is a bit of a red flag to me, because you really should not be having issues like this 14 days from the test. When you are ready to take the exam it should make no difference what section happens when. Also, you're going to have to do five sect…
  • @louis2014 said: Does it happen to you that you read an LR stimulus or RC paragraph and say: what the hell did I just read? This happens to well educated native speakers as well so don't get too worried about it; while some of this is a product of…
