Unless you look completely different than your picture, I don't imagine a proctor will be a dick about you not looking exactly like your picture. But yeah, if you have glasses on in your pic, bring glasses and wear them when they check your ticket.
-
I'm taking my LSAT at the same place I took it in September, and tbh the proctors seemed quite lax. My desk wasn't inspected for any materials I had, and in actuality nobody ever hovered over me or checked what I was doing...I feel as though they wo…

@alizeh182 The shadows on your photo may also be less harsh if you print in color!

Nope! This means if A is in 1, B MUST be in 2. The negation of this is if B is NOT in 2, then A MUST NOT be in 1.
-
Unless it REEEEAALLLLY doesn't look like you, I think you should be fine. It's up to the proctor's discretion, but most proctors aren't a-holes

Don't PT on Thursday. Just sleep!
-
Honestly not gonna study much. Just focusing on resting and prepping my brain for test day!
-
Yeah I think you’re good dude don’t sweat being a little bit over!
-
So I got this question right without diagramming. You can read for structure and common words, though I don't recommend this method if you're having trouble with Flaw Method of Reasoning questions quite yet. Also, notice how they mix up the equival…

Wow this is an interesting question. Erik said it was pointless, which we can define as something that has no effect. No effect could be that just nothing happens, or that any positive is offset by an equal amount of negative. I think that's what A…
-
Hmm. I think I get the distinction you're making. Some stimuli explicitly use the word "correlation," while others just mention two things being linked - what you're saying is a "coincidence." Is that right? If that's the case, I wouldn't say they …
-
Completely agree with @BillGreenpoint - marking up RC was actually really hurting both my retention and my timing. Once I stopped marking up the passages, I did much much better. Additionally, I actually recommend slowing down when reading. Read ev…

I'd focus heavily on doing LG right now. It's the area you can make the most improvement on the fastest!
-
I'm like @stepharizona. I've been writing NA next to necessary assumption questions, except I also write SA next to sufficient assumption questions. I do this just because in the heat of the moment I may mistake a sufficient assumption for a necessa…
-
I think my biggest thing is to just be calm and focused on test day. My nerves made me score six points below my average in September. Gotta do some meditation and soul searching
-
I just took this exam. I have to say the LR just wasn't...."tight." As in the answers required a lot more assumptions and jumps than other LR sections require. For example, there was a question that the answer equated "fulfilling what was importan…
-
This is such a great question, and one I've had so much trouble overcoming! One thing I started doing, if I was losing focus or losing the ability to absorb info, was to read every single word like a kindergartner haha. As in, instead of reading a …
-
I had the same problem on my first test. I realized I had to develop some techniques to regain my focus during the exam and be able to absorb everything. One thing I started doing, if I was losing focus or losing the ability to absorb info, was to …

@LSATcantwin I'm so cognizant of the word cognizant now
-
@Jlap1991 I'm of the thought that if the LSAT expects us to understand words like "eschew" or "preponderance," then we should expect law school readers to understand words like "cognizant." But c'est la vie
-
@"Alex Divine" But they see semester breakdowns right? As in, if I got a 3.8 first year, 4.0 second year, they see that, not just straight GPA?
-
@"Alex Divine" said: p.s. I just remembered how awesome your PS was. So maybe I'm biased https://i.imgur.com/C6e6i.gif
-
@"Heart Shaped Box" Haha that was my exact thinking. Even if it is not a complex word, the fact that it is causing such a debate on this forum is reason enough to change it.
-
Hmm...depends on how long you're planning on studying for. When are you taking the exam? I think maybe @"Alex Divine" or other mentors could give you better advice on how to space out the PTs. Yeah I do a 10 in 10 type of strategy, but only on the …
-
I think that is a great strategy! Yeah 2 full (35 minute) sections + BR should be enough for each day of the week, and I agree that you should only fully PT once a week. At the same time, I think you shouldn't actually do a PT until you are profici…
-
@LCMama2017 I'd say that entire part of my personal statement in which "cognizant" is used is much more academic, and it's deliberately so. Nonetheless, I changed the word to "Recognizing"
-
Imo use the academic letters only if only 2 are required.
-
@"Cant Get Right" @thisissparta That's what I'm sayin! I honestly don't think it's a big word and its placement within my paper flows! Idk. I think the fact that it is causing some debate may be reason enough to change it. Maybe "Recognizing this f…
-
@acsimon Haha yeah. It's strange because I used words like "elucidate" in my essay too, which I personally think is a more expensive word than "cognizant." I think it's because this professor is a political scientist, and political science literatur…

@"Seeking Perfection" Transitional phrases generally use referential phrasing back to the latest statement. You know, so you don't sound like a robot with disjointed sentences. Additionally, recall the note I received was "simplify."
