Of course you wouldn't take an Ancient history test before studying ancient history, because the point of the course would be mostly to learn some facts. You would, however go through some kind of baseline skill testing when joining a sports team, …

Most schools suggest 2 references, but would accept 3. I feel that 4 would definitely be more of a negative than a positive - admissions officers don't like to read more than they need, and they might wonder whether you felt the need to go for quant…

1350 seems a little long. I'm not applying this cycle, so I've not looked into the details, but it seems that the consensus is ~850 for most schools.

Thanks for the new digs @pacifico! And I do hope you get into Duke - if only they knew what a valuable member of their community you'd be!
-
@pacifico. I'm bummed that 2 of my choice schools ask precisely "why law". I have a convincing answer, but it's going to be a lot less fun to write about that than about my awesome grit and determination running 20 milers on the treadmill because …

It is based on the responses logged by the 7sage community to that question. I don't think it's quite a perfect correlation, as I've seen questions with the same percentage of correct answers in adjacent difficulty "bands", but it's roughly based on…

And I'd love a group, or thread or some other such virtual nursing home for us oldies

I wish people in their early 30s would stop worrying about being too old because it's making my dentures clatter with the fear of my own age (let's just say early 30's were "the good old days"). So, maybe my dinosaur status is coloring my perspecti…

I believe the target times suggested are for people who want to finish the whole section in 35 min or less (hopefully with 100% accuracy). JY often starts the explanation with "if you want to finish the whole section this game shouldn't take you lo…

Wow, @"Accounts Playable" I didn't think there's a question that trips you - I thoroughly enjoy reading your detailed and "real-time like" descriptions of your thought process on lots of questions. In my opinion, D being correct and B being incorrec…

I'm very sorry to hear what you are going through, it's like one of my worst nightmares. Did you feel like you were "off" during the test? Are you absolutely sure you didn't make a catastrophic bubbling error? That seems like an awfully large dis…

@nye8870 - I read "the area covered" as square footage. Basically the assumption made is that the population density is similar, so the town with more people living in the center will have more people near the library. I'm thinking of an extreme c…
-
You are on the right path - that would be a good flaw to think about before reading the answers, but the answers go for a more subtle error than population=number of library users. They go for population WITHIN walking distance=population in the ce…

@g1oriaaa, do you think your RC scores are tanking because you have developed a mental block when it comes to this section? Does it send you in a foggy panic as soon as you turn the page to it? Because if that's the case, probably some sort of medit…
-
@nye8870 Yes, you're right it's an if (A+B) then C, contrapositive if not C then not A or not B. I edited my original answer to reflect this. In either case, the "inviting" part is irrelevant to the argument, since the author tells us the result is…
-
Like with a lot of incorrect answers, in RC and LR, start with eliminating answers that are inaccurate (things like what @c.janson35 pointed out). I'd add to that list answers that are too strong (look out for never, always, only, etc), answers that…
-
I think this is one of those where formal lawgic might help simplify things. The first sentence can be rewritten like this: IF inviting AND functional THEN unobtrusive The contrapositive "IF NOT unobtrusive, THEN NOT functional for public use o…
-
One clarification to my comment above: I agree with Jonathan that you should absolutely disprove all the wrong answers when practicing. I meant don't do it under timed conditions. Doing it in practice will help give you confidence that you do in f…

I'm in the same boat, slowly inching my way out. I can go anywhere from -0 to -8 on the LG and tend to panic/freeze for games with a twist. I'm not even talking about the "weird" ones from early PT's, those are not so bad as they tend to be quite e…
-
Yes, if most A are B AND most A are C, then some B are C would be correct. That's different from the original question, at least the way I understood it.
-
I'm not sure I understand the original premise correctly, but if it's "most A's are B's" and "most B's are C's", then we can't say absolutely anything about the relationship between A and C. You can have, say, 5 of the A's. 3 of those (most) are …
-
If it works for you, then it's great. I place a "therefore" in front of the statements and see where it makes sense, and make that the conclusion. Of course, some of the conclusions are so subtle that you might not think to apply the "test" to tho…

QED, I think your hypothetical for Eastern lake doesn't quite comply with the statement that "there are appreciably more males among adults than among the young". They tell us that not only do the adult males greatly exceed the adult females, but th…

So, let's say for the sake of the argument that they believed that each lb of mass reflects 60 units of light. They measured 600 units, so they thought OK, so it must weigh 10 lb. Now they discovered that the material reflects 60 times less light -…
-
From my (limited) experience, it seems like the sufficient assumption questions fall into a couple of categories: some have a chain of conditionals and the correct answer will "pull the trigger" on the whole chain. The trouble with these is that the…

The few I tried this morning appear to be fine. They were the same ones I tried yesterday and weren't loading (I tried most of the RC curriculum videos). Yesterday the issues ranged from complete failure (spinning and spinning until I got an "7Sage…

Same problem. I've tried firefox and chrome on a PC, and they take ages to load and then get interrupted every few seconds. Makes them completely unusable
