What constitutes mature student? I’m referring to Canadian and American law schools. For some reason I thought it meant applying over the age of 25

Can someone clarify the distinction between necessary assumption and sufficient assumption questions. I’ve been reading too in to it and it’s gone over my head. Also, to weaken an argument, you want to find an answer choice that is more or less “or this could be the other meaning too” type correct ?

What would you say helped you the most in achieving a high LSAT score

I meant the diagnostic. More so taking the test after months of no LSAT ( three to be exact)
After a diagnostic exam, what is the next step? Blind review? Cry? Sleep? Throw your prep books away? We the people want to know
If you plan on ideally getting into law school in the 2018 school year, is September LSAT your last chance
Would anyone say that the prep tests from the years before say 2001 are harder than the newer ones. Harder in terms of the wordings
Can someone tell me the proper way to blind review. I seem to be doing it wrong
What does the job of a legal assistant entail. I know it’s different than the job of a lawyer but I would like to know the main differences

Doubt either version of AC (A) would be right. The difference between (A) and (D) is subtle - (A) is wrong because it has the potency to be borne out of anecdotal evidence, while (D), like the stimulus, is scientific fact.
Unless (A) would be phrased in a way which makes it a universal truth, I don't see any rephrasing of that statement that could make it a perfectly parallel argument.
I just had an epiphany. If the answer was that Henrietta is older than she was last year therefore she’s wiser than she was last year, the answer would be right. Correct?
We are all working hard as the feb exam is approaching. This is a thread for giving advice of any type to anyone writing the test. My number one advice, if it’s your first write, TAKE THE DAY BEFORE OFF. don’t do anything that will compromise the next day like get drunk the night before, but totally unwind. Do a baking soda detox bath and go to sleep on time!
This question is a “similar reasoning question”. It says “ the higher the altitude, the thinner the air. Since Mexico City’s altitude is higher than that of Panama City, the air must be thinner in Mexico City than in Panama City.” I have looked at the right answer but I am confused as to why one of the wrong answers (a) is incorrect. It says “as one gets older one gets wiser. Since Henrietta is older than her daughter, Henrietta must be wiser than her daughter”.
This to me is an attractive wrong answer. If it was posed as “the older you get, the wiser you are...” would that have made it right?

Mostly Canadian schools. I didn’t do my research on the scholarships they offered but I also didn’t see any form when I was filling out applications
Is there a portion of the application process where you apply for scholarships? Or do schools look at your score and make that decision

@ That's a fair assessment. I found that a good way to approach LSAT prep is to have a predetermined schedule and stick with it. If you put in your calendar to take PTs on Thursday evenings and Saturday mornings, tell your friends "no" if they want to go hard on Thursday night or have brunch Saturday morning. However, I NEVER made time for my buddies, and it honestly made prepping for the test a drag because I personally like socializing and having something to look forward to at the end of my day (dinner with a friend, or a nice sober pregame) and not having that reward made studying more cumbersome.
@ I don't have ebola, lol. I promise...
Great point

This is a great post. I too have questions similar to @ I finished my degree thinking I would be done there (social science) and a year later I started becoming interested in law. I wasn’t prepared, no direction and my cumulative GPA was low. The last two years of my undergrad I had increased responsibility at home which made me take uni more seriously resulting in an all a’s In my last two years. I mentored and did homework help for refugees (still so that). I applied for this fall and did not get in and I need a new angle with my statement to be considered next fall. Any advice would be great. The advice in this thread have been wonderful

This is a do an don’t. Do have great friends to keep you sane, and friends to hang out with on your free time. Don’t spend too much time with friends during prep. Sounds like mixed messages but friends can be a source of distraction and any lost time cannot be recovered. That lost time comes back as regret later on in the journey. Your friends will understand and still be there. If they aren’t, well, they aren’t your friend. Don’t cut anyone off in the name of studying and focusing though. That’s not the message

Do not take your first LSAC-administered LSAT until you are ready. You will know when you are ready.
Very important!!!!!
Drop all your LSAT study tips and techniques below. The crazy one, the strict ones, the interesting ones, all of it. For all of those who did not get into schools this time around, what are things you plan on doing differently/ any regrets
Soooo maybe I’m wrong or maybe I’m crazy but I just figured out that with disagree and agree questions, the answer appeals to the conclusion of the first speaker. Is that a hack or am I reaching
Does anyone else feel incapable of relaxing post exam. Almost like studying separation anxiety lol
Can your LSAT ticket picture be in black and white. Even though it’s still clear

How hard should one go with fool proofing LG’s. In other words what I’m asking is, can a week of fool proofing the games if done vigorously help improve LG scores
Did anyone find a more simpler way to tackle game 4 in this pt?
https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-64-section-2-game-4/
When an answer choice says “it is a statement that the argument provides grounds to accept and from which the overall conclusion is inferred”, is this essentially the premise.
Or is the premise “it is a premise offered in support of an intermediate conclusion of the argument “?

So schools don't look at yor last two years for your gpa, but rather your whole undergrad cumulative GPA?
Is no news really good news with admissions???? What does it mean???
What are some helpful tips for reading carefully in the LR section while trying to finish all the questions in the allotted time. I understand you should master all question types to help speed up the process, but all that flies out the window once the timer starts
Since a necessary assumption is something that must be true in order for the argument to succeed, does that mean that a necessary assumption question is the same as a MBT question? We the people need answers
@-1 where is the LSAC thing that has the RC breakdowns that you were referring
