I guess this might fall under the umbrella of 'concentration' but for me I really need to make a conscious effort to focus on the full content of each and every sentence as I go. As a humanities student I feel pretty comfortable with reading dense…

@"Q.E.D" A year ago I would've taken on the challenge to defend my boy, Kripke. But having just spent 20,000 words arguing that A Puzzle about Belief is not really a puzzle, I'm less inclined to die on the hill of Kripke-fandom, haha. And I'm sitti…

@"Q.E.D" I have a BA and an MA in Philosophy!

The question asks us to focus on the process described in the last paragraph by which the spread of thistles can be curtailed. If we recall line 8-12 we will remember that thistles are a weed, i.e. not a native or natural plant for the fields. We t…

I'd do it this way. Using propositional logic notation... 1. StopCrying --> ((ColdMed or NipWhisk) & ~(ColdMed & NipWhisk)) I'd then read this as. If 'Baby stops crying' then 'Cold Medication' or 'Nip of Whiskey' and not both 'Cold Medi…

The part about percentiles is at 29:00, but begins around the 20:00 mark in the video, for those interested.

With a slight hint of caution I would suggest http://leiterreports.typepad.com/ It is a philosophy focused blog from a Chicago law professor. He frequently posts links to topical articles written at the sort of level you might see come up in a RC s…

It's interesting to see the data concerning 25th percentile numbers. I remember watching a lecture on YouTube, I think the prof was from UVA and used to work on the LSAT, and it was explained that since the median LSAT is what is reported for the pu…

@"amukherjea310" yes, that's great! Plus you clearly have time to make it even better. Once you're hitting 3.8 and 3.9 you're going to be competitive almost everywhere (with an appropriately good LSAT). If you want to see how competitive it would ma…

@"amukherjea310" I used http://www.foreigncredits.com/Resources/GPA-Calculator/ to estimate mine. Just chose the correct country from the drop down menu and it's easy to input everything from there. And whilst I don't know that grading system, 8.44…

I can't find it again, so don't quote me on it, but I do recall reading on the LSAC website that it's okay if you use letters from one application cycle for another, so long as the letter is still likely relevant and accurate (i.e. no significant ch…

A tip from one international student to another - pay careful attention to maintaining your best grades at all times, regardless of whether it matters or not in your native grading system! In the UK many courses, including my own, weighted your 3 y…

I am maybe not experiencing the same *overall* swings you are (not reached the 170s yet!) but I have similarly 'bombed' sections recently. One PT I go -0 on RC and the next I go -9. I think the times I do bomb them there is something pretty basic th…

@"Alex Divine" mind me asking you to expand on this? @"Alex Divine" said: As a rule of thumb, unless you have rich parents, I would suggest against attending ANY top 6 school at sticker. (arguably T14, but even debatable) Maybe there's something…

@"Cant Get Right" Yes, I meant the UK - sorry that wasn't clear! @"david.busis" That's really helpful. Thanks. I think if I can put together a good one I'll submit one as appropriate. My UGPA (by my conversions from UK grades to a GPA) is somewhere…
