I think it would take a lot of mental gymnastics to read "any food that is not sterilized and sealed" to mean anything other than "not (sterilized and sealed)", especially when you know that the statement was made by someone who writes professionall…
-
The suggestions above are golden, as usual. I would add one practical point that has helped me with flaw questions - once you've read the stem and you know you're dealing with a flawed argument, read the stimulus with the mindset you'd have if you …

I would tend to agree with @allison.gill.sanford (with the caveat that I'm not an admissions officer). I think the concussion and its aftermath that lead you to yoga can be very good material for a personal statement, because it probably did have a…

Thanks! I'm honored and humbled to be in the company of the other Sages. That shiny badge is seriously the thing that makes me the happiest about my score!

What are you BR scores like for RC? If they are 12-15 points higher than your timed scores and essentially close to perfect, then maybe give skipping a passage a shot and see how your results compare. If you're not getting close to perfect under u…
-
I'm going to sound like a broken record, but in the BR pay really close attention to the "small words" that make an otherwise attractive answer choice an obviously wrong one. Getting really good at spotting those will save you a lot of time on the …

I think it's realistic - lots of people, even some who are not aiming for >170 seem to be able to get almost perfect scores in LG on the real test by using the foolproof method. Looks like LG is the strong section for a lot of people on 7Sage. I …

I think the key words in the stimulus are "shortly after the war". Considering that the question is a "most helps explain", which doesn't need to reach the level of 100% ironclad, I think it's OK to make use of the common sense assumption that the …

What an inspiring story! Congratulations on your score, and best of luck wherever you choose to go!

Are you taking PT's yet? If you are, start foolproofing the LG sections from PT's you've already done. I agree with the above posters that suggest proofing as full sections rather than individual games going forward - ideally you want to foolproof u…
-
For RC I think I read as if someone has handed me the passage and asked me to tell them what it's about. So, I read the first paragraph, then summarize it in my head "so, here they're saying this and that". Second paragraph then summarize "and this…

@stepharizona said: JY gave me some solid advice for retakes by saying to limit the amount of time given per section, ideally completing the section, starting with 30 and moving down with a goal of 25 to help compensate for the score inflation from…

I think "challenge the accuracy of evidence" would go something like this: John: The latest Consumer Reports survey shows that 90% of the people are satisfied with the cars they bought in the last two years, while only 60% are satisfied with the car…

Congratulations! You've definitely earned it!

@"Nicole Hopkins" you have the best gifs - thanks for the hugs! Checking twitter and 7Sage every 30 minutes for grey day updates would still count as "obsessively checking". I'll try to save roaming data charges and focus on touring French champagn…

@BruiserWoods said: seems like they're adjusting for the amount of time they think it's going to actually take them. hence, its a shorter quoted wait time this year? Yeah, that's my fear - which would put the release around Jun 29 - I'…
-
While I do hope that they release them sometime this week, looks like the official release date itself is sooner this year than it was before, so the actual release might not be quite so many days earlier than scheduled. Last year: Test: June 8; Sch…
-
For games, if you follow the Foolproof method you'll probably be drilling a section or so almost every day. For RC, you have to maximize what you get out of the tests you've done, because there's a limited number of RC sections in the "old" PT's, so…
-
The argument only takes you to "regular detergent doesn't dissolve in front loaders", whereas the conclusion jumps all the way to "if you want your clothes clean, you need a special detergent". D is necessary to bridge this gap (by the looks of it …
-
For RC, which looks like your fundamentally weakest section even under untimed conditions, it might be beneficial for you to do a thorough "unblinded" review after (not instead of) your BR. After you find out which answers are right, go through the…
-
Wonderful news - I hope the letters are great!
-
I find that for a lot of the level 5 questions, the ability to quickly spot wrong answers is often more important than the ability to identify the right answer on the first go. And the most attractive wrong answers are often wrong because of a sing…

There are 7 lawyers that have absolutely preset "more/less" relationships with each other (K-I-F-M-G-J-H). Therefore the minimum number of distinct salaries has to be 7. The other two (L and N) have to be distinct among themselves (L-N), but each …

You can take any other test as a diagnostic - the 2007 is recommended just because it's the most easily accessible one.

The 2x2 size floating around the internet is from the days you had to attach a picture to your ticket. Doesn't matter anymore - just make sure the resolution is high enough to fill the box when you upload and to print clearly and the picture fulfill…

Congrats and welcome back to the fold of the waiting crowd!

@MrSamIam said: I have no idea what you're all talking about, but...you got this She's taking the LSAT tomorrow instead of past Monday, because that's what the LSAC apparently does with some people who are granted accommodations.

@dreamville said: it automatically renewed once I registered for the LSAT. Oh, nice! Good thing you managed to renew before everything got lost. I think it would be perfectly fine to go ahead with the letter you have - I think a let…

@dreamville said: Anyone know if it would be an issue if I use that same letter now considering it was dated and submitted to LSAC a good while ago? I don't think the age of the letter would necessarily be an issue, but I think your LSAC account a…
