I chose B as well and eliminated D for the same reason, i.e., small neighborhood. I am still not entirely clear on why B is wrong, but as I re-read the passage, a small neighborhood is strongly implied by "narrow, tree-lined streets, parks, corner grocery stores, cafes, small neighborhood schools, all within walking distance." This is clear a description of a small neighborhood.
I think a 2-week break should be fine. In my experience, not studying for 4 weeks really set me back. I struggled to get my momentum back.
Hello! Anyone in the DC metro area interested in meeting in person to take full-timed tests and do blind reviews? I'm looking for someone to bounce off ideas, share thought processes, and LG strategies. I will hold you accountable and keep you motivated to stay focused. I hope you'll do the same for me!
A little about me - I'm a patent foreign filing specialist at a DC law firm. I've been living in DC for over four years and aiming to get into law school in the fall of 2021. I took the LSAT in March 2019 - scored 158. I started studying again this past December. I'm determined to get at least a 10-point increase but it's an uphill climb.
Please shoot me a personal message if interested!
I was looking for some resources about this test center but I could barley find any before taking my exam. I just took the March 30, 2019, test and I have to say that I like the test center and would take another test there again (should I sadly have to retake). I think there were almost a hundred test takers, but you have enough space from each other since the room is pretty large. I was probably at least meter away from the next test taker. We also had plenty of desk space. However, the generous space might not be available if there significnatly more test takers.
It was pretty quiet the whole time. The room was really cold for more than half the exam, but later warmed up. I would suggest wearing layers of clothing that you can later shed. The bathrooms are right outside the test room but there was a long queue, since there are only three stalls (for women).
If you don't know your way around DC and have not been to the Ronald Reagan Building, I would suggest you visit the place before the exam since there is a considerable walk to the testing room if you did not enter the building through 14th St. There are security checks at each entrance and a metal detector.
Side note: The proctors were kind. For some bizzare reason on guy came up to the proctor and said he had no pencil... They gave him three pencils. One girl said she was freezing during the break, however, you are not supposed to access your coat since it was outside the test testing room so someone brought her coat in.
Thanks for the discussion below! I also answered D and couldn't eliminate it during the blind review.
What lead me to eliminate choice A is that the passage seems to indicate that physical education already includes non-competitive activities, most schools just focus on competitive sports.
In hindsight, the answer choice is pretty straight forward. However, I was unable to determine that there were two groups of people that could have brought the purse to Jordan, i.e. the pilgrims and the traders. Consequently, I chose B to explain why the set of coins were not diverse when they should have been.
Hi, did anyone take the test today? Monday, August 31st? I took mine at 1:00pm ET. I had LG-LR-RC. I sailed through LG and LR, but I thought the RC was really hard. The 1st passage was about Indian-American art, 2nd was about domesticated dogs, 3rd was a novel about a case law, and 4th were comparative reading passages about monopoly. I did not even start the 4th passage, I just guessed all my answers :/
