Thought I would share something silly I did too! (I forgot the head things on the big one but its fine lol)

@IvonneRosario just replied!

relax: I try to give myself a few 5 - 10 minute breaks when I feel myself getting distracted + the LSAT games is a nice little "break tool" to use. Resting is always something I have struggled with so I also have been giving myself an hour before bed where I just do self care, drink some tea (usually YOGI - stress relief) and listen to those lofi music videos to decompress. mindset: if you feel yourself getting burnout it is 100% okay to take a day of no studying. Again, something I struggled with my entire life, but it does wonders for your mental health. I would take at least a weekend off if you are feeling super burnt out. Most importantly, do not allow your score to dictate your self worth (something I also struggle with). I wish you the best! (something I really recommend is to delete any and all social media you have for at least a month, its life changing and I haven't had it for a year + (I've never felt more confident and better)

I struggled with C because the tone of the author doesn't seem to support "well-meaning". I thought based on the passage the author thought the ideas were lacking: girls unlike boys leave school at 8 +continued to define women in terms of roles in domestic sphere + neither proposal envision fully equal for women...

@KatrinaFurman they do a staggered system. Hopefully yours opens soon! everyone should be able to do it at some point today

@superchillasian Ah, they do a staggered system. Hopefully yours opens soon! everyone should be able to do it at some point today

I at first got rid of D on my first pass through because I thought they implied that they are not nocturnal by stating "... are not known to forage at night" which made me assume that they were not nocturnal birds. On reviewing this question D is slapping my face because it makes more sense than C which I initially picked (yet felt not great about). I guess the lesson for me here is to be much more picky about the wording and not just assume a quality (in this case: not being nocturnal)

@superchillasian @mkuranty they should have sent an email to you/ if you log into your LSAC account it should pop up. I was able to already schedule mine... Although I did get in right at 11 and was still 50th in cue, could be they just have too many people in the cue?

One more question: are they going to leave the font as the off-black color, or will they have it be straight black, because I feel like that makes the readability inadequate too.

to everyone on this thread who validated my frustration + helped me figure out how to change the font, you are much appreciated.

@Kevin_Lin I found it thank you!

@potato7739 thank you!

@potato7739 Is this something we will have the capability to change on test day? Do you know if we will be able to do it prior to starting our test, or will it be another thing that will take away our precious time?

@Fizzypop It's wild to me because the font size would be wholly unacceptable in universities and colleges, as well as court documents, etc. so how is it acceptable for them to put it on the LSAT? If you wrote a summons and complaint at 10.5 pt font and filed it I am almost positive the court would send it back and make you fix the font.

@KSki Just checked the font size by pasting an excerpt in Word and it is at 10.5. (Which is discouraged at many colleges (at all levels) for essays where they believe it is better to have 12 pt font, at the very least 11 pt as it is difficult to read otherwise ; and there are often penalties to your grade if the font is lower due to the hinderance of readability)

@zgainez The text is much smaller now when doing practice drills. It's about half the size it was. I'm not sure if we have to have a medical excuse to get larger text on the actual test (and if we do 2 weeks is really not feasible), but for someone with glasses, this does nothing to determine my understanding of the test, just makes it more difficult to take for no reason. If you take a practice drill it should reflect what I'm saying

@JacobBaska Thank you for your input!

it's frustrating they keep making the changes when the August test is 3 weeks away. At this point they are just doing this to make the test more tedious and time consuming.

@Bagle Thank you.... there are various factors that impacted it, should I try to focus on 1-2, or should I try and give an overview of that point in my life?

I have been noticing that for purpose in context questions, the new interface does not highlight the key terms/sentences being referred to, which again is less efficient and more time consuming than the old interface. Has anyone heard if they will be adding this feature back in?

The new interface is actually less efficient. The "block out" tool is now tedious, forcing me to click back and forth, wasting 15-30 seconds per question. Furthermore, removing the ability to highlight text within answer choices is a huge downgrade for analyzing flagged questions. I hope they don't push through the aforementioned changes.

They should just keep the ability to highlight answer choices + have the eye toggle to "block out" wrong answers.
