I was glad to find that you felt good about it. Best of luck waiting for your confirmation!--A.c.S

I mean, they missed "I mean..."--A.c.S

No, until I came to yours;)

Good luck everyone!

Like others said, I wouldn't worry too much about this. I used to do it but was going under for 8:00 games. It's just a barometer. The key is that your tend to do easy and medium games relatively quickly so that you can have time for more time consu…

I should clarify @"Alex Divine" . By "marginal", I meant marginal given the UGPA stats, and, presumably, the other items @aurelian 's application, it might approach negligible. Of course, if @aurelian's states were mediansm, it would be different.…

I'm just going to interject here to say that, even with some LG problems, a 173 or so shouldn't inhibit you from being able to get into Yale given your GPA. But that's if you get a 173. You have to deal with official testing conditions--and the ner…

Yeah, I would say that it isn't likely that you will get caught (especially, if you're in a large room with a lot of people), but it is not worth it (not to mention any ethical considerations with regard to fairness). I wrote last Sept and there wa…

Yeah, maybe not "elucidate" either...maybe it's just me but I'd probably go with "clarify" or "explain" but these are all judgement calls at the end of the day. Like I said, if it really is you... it's you!--A.c.S

I'd dedicate at least four days where all you do is logic games. I didn't start going to -0 on logic games until I learned to block off chunks of time (multiple study days) to just do games and nothing else. Were I you and taking the December test, …

Oh, but if you're a huge nerd and it's you, I'd say include it. But, again, I think that the biggest norm to follow in a personal statement of any kind is that it be personal. That doesn't always align with what's best for getting into a school thou…

Academic/intellectual. Not complex--especially, given the fact that that ideomatic phase (i.e., cognizant of this/that fact") is so often used academic settings--but I'd just go with something more "basic" in the sense that, for any two ways of expr…

The jump to 170s from high 160s? I would think you would naturally make the jump soon, but I would say probably take some of your LG time to focus on one of your other sections. It would probably be most helpful to get LR down to not more than three…

Actually, there is an error here. If the indicative conditional is treated as material implication then one has to change one of the statements above to: if it was done with the knife, then it was certainly done by the professor.
-
Say you are given some premises p1,...,pn and a conclusion c. Assume that the argument is valid, so that the truth of all the premises guarantees the truth of the conclusion. Now say that take away a unspecified number (1 or more) premises from p1,.…

Big ups!!!

Yes, I do think it will be beneficial if you're anything like me. Even when I BR, a month in between and it's gone. Just completely gone. Now, even if your memory does not completely wipe itself like mine, even if you remember a 3-4 questions, the t…
-
I would think that you should retake if you justifiably believe you can get at least two points higher in four weeks time--regardless of undergrad. It's a bit uncertain about the fine-grained effects that undergrad prestige has on your chances. Of …

Is a "shit ton" a unit of measurement here? Because that's what it felt like for me. I assume that many ppl, with different strengths, took much less time.---A.c.S
-
I agree with @"Seeking Perfection" and @AllezAllez21 on this. The probative value of an such addendum on testing is probably very low. One of the reasons seems to be that retaking is an option, unlike what is the case with undergrad GPA. A major str…

Incremental discrete "jumps", for me...but I wouldn't worry about that so much as keepin' your head down and grindin' it out right now.Good luck--A.c.S
-
By the way, the reason that that is the credited answer is because it satisfies the antecedent (sufficient condition) and falsified the consequent (necessary condition). This is exactly what must be so if material conditionals are false.

Stop deforestation--> save kbear Your original statement can be true (in English) even though the following could also be true: Kbears could also be saved by transferring a sizable population to reserve X. However, your formalization would hav…

First, distinguish the material conditional "if...,then" from a straight causal statement. Sometimes "if..., then" statements express causal claims in English, but sometimes they don't (ex. "If I don't get above 170, then I'm not as good as JY at th…

@"Paul Caint" Ha!--No, I've only gotten places that I haven't heard of, save for UCLA today. I'm thinking maybe it's because I don't yet have my undergrad transcript on file with LSAC.(???) What is curious is that though people have said that the i…
-
Hmm...thinking again about this makes me think that there is probably a taxonomy that could be provided for logic game boards which itself could be embedded into a flow chart of how to go about completing a given logic game. It might actually requir…
-
Some of these I completely see. I don't know. I think getting to the test center early and familiarizing yourself with the environment can be helpful for those who are nervous. I also am not sure how burnout works--I started ramping up the amount of…

@"Alex Divine" is 100% correct, from what I've read. It seems that there are several ways in which the GPA consideration is unfair--from major/course difficulty, school relationship with grade inflation, and whether or not your school did "A+"S or j…

Hey man, congrats! I wish I got some fee waivers (I'm really wondering how I'm going to pay to apply)...it sounds like all positives in your direction (even if they aren't indicative of acceptance prospects)!--A.c.S

"counter-example" is a concrete example of some phenomenon with features that refutes a particular claim or a consequence of a theory about that phenomenon. A alternate explanation is an alternative account that purports to explain why a particular …
