@S.Val. Thank you so much for your comment! I've stopped studying for almost a week, which is pretty risky actually.. Yes I think I will probably still take it. I aim to apply next cycle so looks like I have plenty of time to fix/improve, even if this September one is not ideal (which I am sure it won't be). Good luck on your upcoming exam!!
I've registered for the September LSAT on the 11th and have been preparing actively until last week. I was pretty confident about my everyday progress and was hitting my target scores frequently until last week.
A week ago, I had a mental and physical crisis. Mentally, I was trying to do some detailed analysis to improve my RC by spending a whole afternoon reading and taking notes on a few of the hardest passages, and then I felt like I couldn't read English anymore — I felt like the words were floating in front of me and didn't make any sense anymore.
Physically, since I have a 9-5 job that requires me to sit at my desk all the time stressfully, and I have to sit for a few more hours before and/or after work for LSAT prep, I had the most serious neck and back pain of my life. I couldn't sit, lie down, or sleep with that pain. Going to urgent care tomorrow.
This is my first official LSAT, and now I really don't think I can hit my target score this time. I've only studied for a few months (along with my 9-5), and I seriously couldn't commit more time to the LSAT. I've also registered for the June LSAT but canceled it at the last second — I wasn't prepared well for that one and was really uncomfortable taking it without any confidence.
I plan to apply next cycle, and I think the September one is probably worth a shot. Even if I can't hit my target score, here are some pros:
I can become more familiar with the test center environment. I have ADHD and my 150% accommodation has been approved, but I'm not sure if I can perform well when people are walking, typing, and just breathing around me. So I can collect data this time to see if I should ask for other accommodations.
I don't wanna bail again this time — last time I was only about 35% prepared, but this time I was at 90% until last week. I don't expect a miracle to happen this time, but bailing on myself feels bad too.
I can cancel my score anyway, though it would use up one of my LSAT attempts.
Well... didn't realize I've written so much already, and sorry for bringing some negative energy... I probably just want to vent and can't find anybody in my real life. Looks like I've already convinced myself to take the September one, but still wanna hear your thoughts!
For the people who are on the same boat, you are not alone — here's another broken soul (and body). Let's just hang in there!!! We will be fine!!
@EthanMadore Hey Ethan, I have the same problem, could you please take a look for me too? Thanks!
I had the same feeling with you. I've been so mad at the new UI since Junea and I was trying so hard to let myself be comfortable with it. However, aftering seeing the new hightlight UI, I am totally f-ed up. I left my feedback on LSAC website, I was even trying to message to the Cheif of Operation of LSAC (the genuine who approved this update) on Linkedin but I didn't, cuz I told myself being a lawyer needs to manage anger. But still, I wanna scream on the new UI. It has made my life harder.
Who's the governing authority of LSAC? Can we report it to somewhere??? Horrible ideas!
Can "one's ability to survive" be understood as a new concept in the concluson (well even this is not a conclusion)? Since there's a missing link between "fewer and fewer belief" and "one's ability to survive", so the problem is the argument assumed there's a link between the two without a valid reason?
Seriously when are you planning to bring it back? I am really suffering with the new format, it disturbed my study plan. Please bring it back ASAP. There's no even A/B test, or even a survey for this update, I just don't understand how this happend. Feel like this is not a user-friendly product anymore.
Change it back please. I need to adjust drill time based on different question tag. This change doesn't really make sense!
there's an implied condition: unjustifiable anger, jealousy, or resentment are emotions that are not always under one's control, then just use the method of domain;
unjustifiable anger, jealousy, or resentment-->out of control
Domain: certain emotions out of control
conclusion:
certain emotions out of control --> /(blameworthy)
support:
responsible--> /(certain emotions out of control )
contrapostive support:
certain emotions out of control-->/(responsible)
Missing condition:
/(responsible) --> /(blameworthy)
is eauql to: blameworthy--> responsible
If the second "to" is replaced by "do", the sentence will be like "Some cultivars of corn are much more closely related morphologically to sorghum than do most other cultivars of corn.". Then the meaning would change totally.
I know you didn't see a unicorn since it is mythical! (I doubt myself when I saw that sentence). Even though it's the national animal of Scotland.
I got the answer right but I struggled for 5 mins to figure out how the premise supports the argument-- if it does support, it means that the opponents' political agendas are understood by large people, therefore they are not muddled and incomprehensible, then the criticism is insincere. However, how we know if their political agendas are understood by people or not? I asked ChatGPT and it says there's a hidden assumption that "Politicians would not criticize an opponent unless they believed the opponent’s agenda had some real chance of mobilizing people.". It lights me up, but I am thinking, I won't be able to build a logical system to think of this hidden assumption. For some questions (like this one which the conclusion is easy to identify and structure of argument is clear), I won't have to spend too much time digging the logics.
@JacobBaska It might be look so dumb to ask-- Does law school really look at the LSAT writing sample when reviewing my application? I am just not sure how much effort I should put to prepare this part. Thanks!
