i didnt do my arg writing until after my test and i got it back within 2-3 days of finishing it so plenty of time before score release. In general i hear most people say just do it in the day or two after your test and barring any issues or outlier situations you should be fine
I’m struggling to understand how the correct AC is not in direct conflict with the rule of “no commercial exploitation”. Like this answer choice just seems like the rep saying “yeah ik this isn’t allowed but in my opinion I think it’s fine”
i heard them say on the 7sage podcast recently that its become much more common in recent years to have multiple retakes and schools may see it as you being persistent and working hard to improve, i think if theres a general upward trend and the numbers tell a story that makes sense then having 3 tests is completely fine
in my opinion this strat sounds like little gain for a big time suck, its hard to gauge difficulty just off a skim and also u dont know how difficult the questions will be. ive seen people say they complete passages in order of most questions but ive never tried it personally
I wouldn’t over analyze the projected score just from doing single passages. Take full sections and look at how many total you get wrong and what types of questions/passages seem to cause recurring mistakes.
it’s not the end of the world if you apply next year instead. Idk what your PT scores are but I’d recommend waiting to take the test until ur averaging ur goal score on PTs for an extended period of time. Otherwise ur just using up LSAT attempts. Realistically to get a good shot at t14 u need to score 30 points higher than august, which is a huge jump. I know this probably isn’t what you want to hear right now but unless u are averaging in the 170s all throughout October, I would cancel the November test and take more time to study.
Premise: We did bad, but the other guys did worse. Conclusion: We made things better.
depends how much of a refresher you need, if youve forgotten everything then yeah restart but dont waste time studying stuff you already know and have down
@ripleyschultz I recently watched a recorded class with Kevin Lin called breaking 180 where he discussed strengthen and weaken questions, in that class he spoke a lot about how for these questions types it is often more about strengthening the bridge between the authors premise and conclusion, rather than just picking an answer that would seem to support the conclusion in a way thats not relevant to the given premises. I think that applies here - through our reasoning B could be seen as potential evidence for the conclusion, but it does nothing to help to actually bridge the authors premise to the conclusion. On top of this, "many" is a bit vague, because it could be any number and also it doesnt say that those many plants are succeeding on islands where the native plants arent also succeeding.
I would say dont take the LSAT until you are consistently scoring in your goal range, even if that means delaying until next year. You will still be younger than many applicants and will be able to get way better scholarships if you get your LSAT up. Also - you worked 40 hours a week while also doing an accelerated bachelor's degree? impressive
maybe just wake up at that time and study, so you get the benefit of getting used to getting ur brain going early without the stress or burnout of another PT
Doesn't B eliminate an alternate possibility - which is that it's not something to do with the islands environment which is causing them to die? Like this proves that the island plants arent going extinct due to rising sea levels for example.
yes they provide the computers. my test center also had headphones you could put on to cancel noise but im not sure if thats standard, i brought multiple forms of ID, wallet keys phone, and some foam ear plugs but they will have to inspect those to make sure they arent electronic. a lot of people bring snacks or water too but you have to leave those in your locker outside the test room
Is there a way to customize RC Drills to filter for passages where I answered multiple questions wrong? I know there is an "Incorrect Ever" filter, but I think this would include passages where I only got one answer wrong. I'd like to be able to revisit passages that I had a particularly difficult time with when I first started studying in order to see how my RC has improved.
I am in almost exactly the same situation, my plan is to alternate between taking older PTs (PT16-20) that I haven’t done yet, and then redoing the first few PTs I ever took. My outlook in general is to focus more on quality over quantity with rlly deep review any time I miss a question. I have also heard people say on Law Hub there are question sets that aren’t on 7Sage, so maybe you could use those as well if you have no fresh sections here.
theres no magic number of hours to hit it. this is like saying how many hours of lifting does it take to bench 225. depends entirely on where your starting point is and the quality of your training. focus on quality not quantity
@neetigpatel Premise: This process was not done in the best possible way. Conclusion: We should abandon the process altogether. E uses kind of dramatic vocabulary but the flaw is the same, that just because theres an issue doesn't mean the whole thing is ruined and should be scrapped. He provides evidence that the project is imperfect, but then out of nowhere concludes therefore the whole thing should be scrapped without giving any evidence that says imperfect projects should never be undertaken.
Every other answer choice pretty much makes the same mistake; it makes claims that the argument itself never actually made. For example, the argument never concludes that police respond more to buildings than cars, or that we shouldn't restrict car alarms.
Why C is correct: Remember, the conclusion here is the ONLY acceptable thing is to fine the owners. Without the statement about them being effective, we could say, "Can't you just get rid of the alarms entirely?" By saying that the alarms do have a useful purpose in reducing break ins, we get rid of this alternative solution, which is what C says.
5-6 hours a day is intense, in my opinion that length has serious diminishing returns and is a "more is less" situation. 1-2 hours a day of higher quality could make you less burnt out while also letting you learn more
i also get distracted easily, and when i took mine on a saturday the center was actually completely full and I had to wait about 20 minutes for someone to finish testing. However, I had no problems with distractions fortunately as the desks are very private and I brought foam ear plugs. One advantage of doing a saturday is you have a slightly less long wait to get your score back
Focus on deep diving into each question you dont fully understand. Don't worry about number of hours or number of questions drilled just dedicate yourself to quality. For me this means untimed drills ~5 questions with harder difficulty where I fully map out the argument, predict correct answer before reading ACs, and then methodically going over each AC. I also set it to show answer after each question, and if theres even 1% of me that still doesnt get something I will watch the video until its 100% clear.
maybe schools will be more inclined to look favorably on all of us now who are taking it in person or under stricter remote conditions, like they might view a post august 170 as more telling than a pre august 170, of course medians are medians but it might be a sort of extra soft factor
