So there's been a few studies that found that good looking people make more money on average over their lifetime than people who are not good looking. My question is this:

Have all these studies done is establish that there is a correlation between looks and income or can we say that good looks cause higher incomes? The studies seem to suggest or imply a causal relationship but if all they've done is establish a correlation, their findings are not as interesting. What's you analysis on this?

I can't tell if there is a setting I altered or if its the new video player, but when I go from full screen to regular my video restarts every time. Its a real pain when you're taking notes on the computer or trying to refer to the comments section and not being able to go back and forth. Is there a way I can change this to keep streaming when I go back and forth from screen sizes?

Thank you!

To my fellow future lawyers, take a 15 minute break and check out this excellent TED talk:

It is rawrsome. :)

Has anyone tried the online courses of either Kaplan or Powerscore?

What are the other types of question types that have the word "principle" in their stems but are not really principle questions? I know "pseudo sufficient assumption" question stems often have principle in them.

But I also just saw that 7sage has labeled PT65 Q6 as an MSS question and I'm really confused. The stem for this question is "which of the following most closely conforms to the principle illustrated by the argument?" I thought this was a principle question and diagrammed the conditional to formulaically look for the proper premise and conclusion in the answer choices but it seems that's not really necessary.

Hey Guys,

I am studying to retake the LSAT in June 2014. As a recent graduate from college I'm realizing that studying has become a solitary activity for me on my own. So if there's anyone in the area that wants to practice together or have some study support please contact me!

Hi there, I'm looking for a study buddy in Seoul (Korea). I work full-time and I plan to take the June 2014 LSAT to have my apps in early in the cycle. My LSAT score range is low 160s and I hope to raise it by June (hopefully.. Please). If anyone's interested, please let me know! Thank you:)

Let's rock the June LSAT!

Is the experimental section before or after the break? because it'd be a disadvantage to have it before as it you'll be more fatigued for the remaining real sections. I did a PT with the experimental at the beginning and it really affected my performance.

Also for those that have done the test, is the break 10 minutes or 15 minutes? Might seem like a small detail but I want to replicate test conditions as closely as possible.

Hi, I'm looking for an online study buddy (e-mail,Skype, whatever) who is taking the June LSAT and is looking to improve their LR specifically. I'm doing pretty well with LG and RC to a lesser extent, but I really would like to improve my LR from the -7 range to the -0/-1/-2 range.

I don't know anyone in my area that is also studying for this, so it would be very helpful to have somebody to talk LSAT with regularly.

Let me know if you're interested!

We can discuss sth together by skype

nevermind

I'm so nervous about the LSAT. I just can't help myself. I'm taking my first practice test and I'm taking each section, answering the questions and then going over the answers. I don't know how to calm my nerves. Any tips?

I plan on taking the June LSAT (2014) and I just started the 7Sage program.

Let me know!

I'm just curious. thanks

How effect are these series and has anyone seen any improvements?

Also what are you all doing to improve your speed/time?

-Thanks

Why is my syllabus all of a sudden marking literally everything (even lessons I haven't done yet) with black checkmarks?! It stopped keeping my place in the lessons, and when I click "continue" it goes straight back to PT question and answer. Ugh!

Has anyone noticed that the Syllabus looks different? The stars aren't yellow anymore, and it's hard to tell which lessons I have already done because all the check marks look the same. Is this something on my end or is anyone else noticing this? Please help! I forgot which lesson is next

My 7sage account is about to expire, and before it does I wanted to give a huge thank you to JY and the team. You can't argue with a 17 point jump from my first ever PT to the Feb. LSAT, in just about two months. For those of you just starting, just keep going.. it gets better. Just be sure to do everything that JY says :) Good luck to all!

Hi guys, sorry about the title..I did the question several days ago..so I forget it comes from which PT..As soon as I find out i will change the discussion title.

Studies of the reliability of eyewitness identifications show little correlation between the accuracy of a witness's account and the confidence the witness has in the account. Certain factors can increase or undermine a witness's confidence without altering the accuracy of the identification. Therefore, police officers are advised to disallow suspect lineups in which witnesses can hear one another identifying suspects.

Which one of the following is a principle underlying the advice given to police officers?

(A) The confidence people have in what they remember having seen is affected by their awareness of what other people claim to have seen.

(B) Unless an eyewitness is confronted with more than one suspect at a time, the accuracy of his or her statements cannot be trusted.

(C) If several eyewitnesses all identify the same suspect in a lineup, it is more likely that the suspect committed the crime than if only one eyewitness identifies the suspect.

(D) Police officers are more interested in the confidene witnesses have when testifying than in the accuracy of that testimony.

(E) The accuracy of an eyewitness account is doubtful if the eyewitness contradicts what other eyewitnesses claim to have seen.

Hi, I am looking for some insightful advice. I am currently applying to law school and I have taken the LSAT twice now, but unfortunately have gotten the same score both times. This is a multi-part question, but is very important to what I do for the next three months. 1). Is there any benefit to retaking? 2). Has anyone been in a similar situation and maybe redesigned the way that they've studied and achieved a much better result? I feel that I need to dedicate myself more completely than before, but with all honesty I feel that does not mean much unless I have a better approach.

Any advice or helpful hints would be much appreciated!

Many of us took the test today.

I have no idea how I did, I'm simply incapable of judging myself the way I usually can after doing a PT.

So, how do you all think you did?

If anyone needs help figuring out which section was experimental, I'd be happy to help.

Hey guys, you might have noticed that it's been a while since I've responded to comments. Sorry. I must have kept many of you waiting.

I'm withdrawing from responding to comments, broadly speaking. There are a two reasons for this.

First I'd like to focus on making videos which is an incredibly time consuming thing to do.

Second, I'd like to encourage you, our community, to help each other out. I realized that going forward, in the long run, if I keep responding to comments, I would be in effect encouraging the community to always specifically ask for my response, my help, which has the unintended effect of discouraging other students from responding. That's not good for building a community where we are both teachers and students.

I am still reading the comments. If there's enough confusion, I will clarify. But, you guys are smart and very nice to each other (thank you) so I don't anticipate many problems that you cannot resolve among yourselves.

You might have noticed that our commenting system has improved. First, recent comments show up directly on your command center, after you log in. Second, we've added the "Like" feature so now you can vote up helpful comments.
