I think a "most" statement can be necessary. For example, if an argument requires the assumption that "all A are B", then doesn't it also require "most A are B" and "some A are B"? if it's not the case that most A are B, then it cannot be the case…

Is there a way to watch a recording of the Webinar ? I missed it due to my time zone

there is no requirement to use all the space. I stopped 2/3 of the way through the second page and spent the last 5-10 minutes resting

I would focus on what story you want to tell, how you will structure it, and what personal qualities you want to convey. The first sentence is not a dealbreaker. You don't necessarily have to "hook" them upfront like a news article --because the a…

@"Cant Get Right" said: Man, that's some pretty Spartan celebration, but congrats! Hope all went well!

I think it comes down to a combination of things, all of which can be improved with practice 1) General reading comprehension ability 2) Memory/recall ability 3) Finding the right notation strategy (which is potentially none) 4) Question answeri…

My opinion is that you shouldn't cancel December. If you cancel now, and then things go wrong on your 3rd take, you'll be stuck with that as your only score. Even if you went something like -7 on LG for this test, that wouldn't preclude you from s…

To hit your full potential, I would say: take a few weeks off, do 7sage for 5/6 months, and then take the June test. If you're dead set on February, I'm not sure what the best strategy would be. You could do the LG portion of core curriculum plus …

Depending on the curve, you might be able to get 15 questions wrong and still score a 168. I don't see how -5 on LG necessarily "sunk" you. According to Google, Cornell's mid-range LSAT is 164-168.

There was also a guy wearing an Apple Watch. Seems like my proctors were ignorant of the LSAC rules, willfully chose to ignore some of the rules, or both.

This story seems like a big deal. It's also on reddit and other forums
-
Also: 5 seconds after time was called, there was a girl near me still writing her test. Our proctor just told her "Once again, please stop" but did not disqualify her. Sad to see.

I bombed the section with duets and was happy to have a 2nd chance at LG. Then I bombed the cars one too (I think I had time for 3 out of 6) on the next section. I doubt there were even many possibilities for the car one -- I just wasn't thinking st…

They might not want to share because it's too personal or because they don't want to be judged. Regardless of their reasons, Anecdotal score information won't be as useful as the school's reported median if you want to see where you stand
-
I also only a slept 3-4 hours but I still felt OK for the test. I had been sleeping well in the days leading up. If I take again, I will use a sleep aid.

I'm going to wear slip-on sneakers, cotton pants (not khakis, they're more casual with a greenish gray color) and maybe a thin wool sweater. It's around 70 F now where I am. I live in a tropical climate so there won't be a heater running. If you'r…

I'll private message you

My advice is to block out everything else. When you take the LSAT, focus on the questions. If any negative or unhelpful thoughts invade your mind, stop them in their tracks and re-focus on the questions. Don't allow negative thoughts to get a firm g…

I'm not the bomb at RC but my average is 2/3 wrong per section @Martin01 said: I have 2 bachelors, 3 minors and a masters. Throughout my entire education, I have been taught to read for details, especial during attaining my masters. It feels crazy…

Thanks everyone. I wanted to make sure I didn't get denied entry on some lame technicality. I've distributed a round of likes for all. Cheers

@"Cant Get Right" said: answer choice C says that the two items in the analogy are--at least somewhat--analogous. This absolutely must be the case for any argument by analogy. If you take the negation of this, it's obviously devastating to the argu…

Congrats. Best of luck in law school !

@"Cant Get Right" said: Wow the stat on RC last 5 is surprising. That's borderline statistically meaningful. Agreed. If the true chance of B were 20%, we'd expect to see some serious mean regression in the larger dat…

If you are above median LSAT and top quartile GPA, and you apply to one of the schools that does accept the February LSAT for same-year admission, then I can't see why not. Perhaps less of a chance than if you'd completed your apps in November, but …
