How is it not (E)?

If you're not socially responsible, according to the support that's given in the argument, you will eventually lose power, meaning if you are socially responsible, one can reasonably assume that you will keep power. However, this answer choice states that some businesses that have used power in socially responsible ways have lost it, therefore, the argument the speaker makes is irrelevant because the principals do not hold true.

What am I missing? Annoying.

Nevermind, Finished the video, J.Y explained it. Sorry! Lol

Literally the only flaw question that doesn't make any sense. I was focusing on a percentage flaw or perhaps even a loss of life flaw, and they're talking about reckless driving in red cars? Why does this even matter?

Red cars cause accidents more often; therefore if they were banned lives would be same.

Okay, you're assuming that if you ban red cars, you'll have fewer accidents, but what percentage of Red Cars make up the total percentage of automobiles on the road?

149 LSAT Score (6 Months Studying)

Hey all;

Yes, you've read it correctly. After six months of studying, using the LSAT Trainer, PowerScore Bibles, and 7Sage, unfortunately, some of the items I just haven't been able to grasp. Februrary is my last chance to take the LSAT. I did fairly well on the LG Section (17/23) but my LG and RC were awful (-11/-17) respectively.

I figured, since this is my last shot, I'd try something different. On the day of my test, I did not get much sleep that night due to a nasty cold and cough. That contributed to a lack of sleep, which increased my nerves, not to forgo the long drive to the testing center, I figured that had something to do with my poor performance. No excuses though, I've previously prepped at a 157, high of a 162.

7Sagers' I work full time as a Paralegal, and have 8 short weeks to improve to (hopefully) the 160's. Does anyone have any advice on how I could take this. A friend of mine recommended I drill questions, so I upgraded my 7Sage to Ultimate, and plan on drilling questions. Reading Comprehension, in the digital format, do you have any suggestions on how to improve that score, I have a lot of improvement that is needed in that area. Normally I would get -5 or -6 in LR, and I've had untimed test that I've done really well at, minus the RC.

I will take any advice or motivation at this point. My girlfriend doesn't seem to understand the magnitude of how unfortunate this is and the predicment this is having on my mental health. I am a Finance Major, but the LSAT is killing me. Would you recommend taking a practice test (Preptest 80-88) in the weeks leading up to the LSAT and drilling questions by question type in my mean time?

LSAT · November, January, or just wait?

I'd suggest that you take it in January - this gives you time to cement a solid study plan for 3 months starting now.

General · September 2019 Vs October 2019 LSAT

I am motivated by pressure. I would suggest taking it on September, that gives you 3 additional months from now to study and clamp down on subjects you're having trouble with, I would suggest the last month you take practice tests. However, October isn't a bad choice if you feel that you need more time, and its only an extra month.

From an individual who just scored a 148 - Don't give up. I also have a Finance Degree and professional work experience and feel your pain.

You know what areas you're weak in, Logic Games is the easiest to improve (Just do games, and watch the videos on 7Sage of how JY sets them up, the hardest part is setting up the game and making the different worlds from the problem)

I'd recommend against doing timed PT's, until you're comfortable with the question types and the examination itself.

Nothing in life worthwhile is ever easy, never forget that, keep pushing forward.

I think you're much like me - putting too much emphasis on a schools reputation. You should check out law school transparency - there are schools in the Top 30-50 that have higher employment statistics and better salary outcomes than some of those in the Top 20.

If you're looking for a Federal Clerkship or to work in "BigLaw" a T14 is a sure way to put yourself in the conversation, however, it's not a guaranteed outcome. I know someone who went to Chicago-Kent (89th) who works at a reputable law firm in Chicago, making 180k+ yearly.

The biggest piece of advice that I can share with you, is what others, including my ex girlfriend and multiple attorneys I have worked with (Former Paralegal for five years) have shared with me, which is that the school you go to should be picked based on the state you want to practice (exclude YLS/HLS/SLS).

And that you should stay away from Tier 3 schools. However, this doesn't always hold true, as my sample above represents. I think that if you truly have a passion for law, and justice, like myself, who is about to embark on another journey of studying for the LSAT, you should go to a school that has clinics, programs, and a good career center. There are plenty of schools in the Top 30 you'd have an excellent shot of being admitted too, possibility with a scholarship, but you need to weigh whether or not you could live with not being accepted to a quote "T14" years from now.

Many of the former JAG Attorneys I've worked with went to schools that were far outside the Top 50, none of them went to any Ivy League Law Schools, but they all had a passion for justice and law, and loved what they did. (Also were compensated very well)

I ask that you have the confidence in yourself, based on your experiences, and plan your admissions, to give yourself the best shot at getting into a program of YOUR dreams. My dream school is Boston College, which isn't necessarily GPA heavy, and has excellent job outcomes and location (I love Massachusetts)

Best of luck on your future endeavors. If you don't remember anything from this post a year from now, remember that the choice of law school doesn't define indefinitely the trajectory of your career, and certainly doesn't define WHO you are.
