What are the thoughts on grade addendums for non-traditional students? I have a resume with 20 years of experience that I think will show a strong work ethic and stand out, and if my LSAT scores are in the ballpark of where my PTs have been, they'll be above the 50% scores for the schools I'm looking at. My college grades were horrible though. I just don't know what I would write on an addendum that would be anything much better than, that was a really really long time ago and doesn't reflect who I am at this point in my life, which I think the resume and number of years (decades, yikes) since graduation will show. My gut instinct is that it just draws more attention to it. Is it important to get out in front of it and spell it out - those grades are not who I am - or better just to let the strong parts of the application speak for themselves, and hope for the best with the grades? Thanks!

The conclusion "Moral virtue is not among the characteristics that we admire most" gets "not Moral virtue" from the first premise and "admire most" from the second premise. (A) connects the two premises allowing the conclusion, and (B) does not as "Bravery and creativity" being connected back to morally virtuous doesn't get us any closer to being able to say what characteristics we admire. (B) only deals with the first premise and we need the two connected.
The power score predictions video is supposed to be posted at some point today. Good luck!
When I change my goal from 170 to 175 the analytics completely change on what areas of LR I should prioritizing. Why wouldn't they be the same, except with larger gaps that need to be made up? Is there some underlying metric, like people who get 175 are better at conditional reasoning and Link Assumption, and people who get 170 are better at SA and Parallel Flaw? I guess this is an RRE question, but my percentages there are good, so I should be able to figure this out.
They work about the same with the same material. The only thing that threw me off is I got used to highlighting words by double clicking on them during 7sage drills and PTs, and double clicking doesn’t work on lawhub. Other than that, nothing else seems to work in a different way that I have found.
It got me in the habit of keeping a tally of questions I wasn't positive about as I went, which was good, but after a while I got annoyed with the number of things I had to click through at the end of a test, and since I already had my tally anyway, I disabled it.
I took the test in person last week, but for the writing section at home, it would not let me have any of my external monitors hooked up. I ended up just using a laptop, without my keyboard or mouse, in my kid's room to not set off any alarms about the extra screens sitting around me in my normal setup.
I've noticed #1 as well. Doesn't happen too often, but very confusing when it does.
This may be the sort of thing where enough data doesn't exist to be able to predict, but would it be possible to put a non-traditional flag or 10+ years work experience or something similar on the predictor? I looked on lds and the data for non-traditional students there is very thin.
I really like the new score goal setting for the analytics (thanks!), but having taken over 2,000 questions it's really hard to gauge how much I'm actually improving, since moving the percentages takes a ton questions. If there was a way to see how I've performed over the last 2 weeks (or any user defined amount of time) in my analytics, in combination with how that aims towards the goal score, I think that would give me a better idea of how i look at this moment, as opposed to including a bunch of data from when i was really bad at this stuff.
Very helpful. Thanks!
Opt-out makes more sense to me. It's hard for me to think of a reasons why I wouldn't personally want that data on here as part of my analytics, and to have the questions marked as no longer fresh.
