I am getting in the habit of timing myself for each question i do by using a lap timer. My speed is a real issue, and the technique works for me. On this question, it took me longer to do the question than it took for JY to explain it ... I'm hoping i was just distracted and missed one of my lap timer entries, because that's just embarrassing. On a positive note... correct answer for all the right reasons. Huge progress from when I first started.

For those of you on the call today, here's another good example of an age effect vs cohort effect flaw question:

Nice find Blake.

Still doing this eve?

Is E) also wrong because it says "any text"?

This group seems to take the cray with a grain of soy! Let's play! Looking forward to my induction, and ... no Jazz band rehearsal conflict this evening. :-)

Great class this evening. Nice to have the share at the end about personal experiences.

Jean-Luc? Really? Awesome!!!!

PT 23 tonight correct? (title says 24 next week, and we did 22 last week if I remember correctly, which is difficult since I got to sleep finally at 3:30)

I am on board Sami. Please add me to the list you are managing.

Here's why I believe I would be a great test writer. I could come up with a bunch of answers that I would think are correct answers, half-assed believable too, but completely wrong, and generate tons of wrong answers in the process. LSAC would get their money's worth. You'd still need someone to generate correct answers ...

... after a passage like this. #NotGiftednorTalented

ok, done venting. Back to work.

More war stories? Excellent. Misery needs company and a light at the end of the tunnel. Ha. I know I am not alone, and that we can overcome. Thanks to our event hosts for taking the time to share.

I'm hungry, for an LSAT writer's head on this one. OK, maybe hungry for a lobster too. And from the discussion on this question, it seems like I (and you) have good company. I could not find a good answer because of my bias embedded in the question, which then made all answer choices seem unreasonable. We care about the people... people. We are not PETA on this one.

Thanks Vanessa. I have (well.. mostly) run out of Freakonomics and 99PI stuff for my workouts. I was thinking there had to be something out there. Perfect. Wish I had looked earlier, so your post was great to see.

OMG classic stuff for my morning read today! Too funny!

I am more easily reached at [removed]

noon ET for tomorrow (Sunday) PT77?

In case you are looking for company ... I had my "score" cancelled before I left the room. 2 things though ... 1) I have only been at it for a little over three months with the 7sage course. (no other prep counts once I learned the 7sage way). The June test will be the 7 month mark for me. The jury is out as to whether I am really ready at that point. Leading into the Feb test, the practice tests I did were a) way less than I had originally drawn out on my compressed schedule b) way worse than I had drawn out, and c) I still can't find the handicap scoring table for Senior Citizens (I am 48) so I am competing with a much younger crowd, so I should just double everything anyway, and especially practice testing. And 2) Feb is not released into the wild, so I figured I wasn't burning a practice PrepTest opportunity anyway.

Truth is, I was still nervous as hell. I was a complete shit show in there, heartbeat and all. I started attacking the games section immediately, and the soothing voice of JY picking apart the question stem and setting up the Game boards helped some, unfortunately he cant get you very far from there. HAHA.

This is in no way a testament to the difficulty of the Feb Test. There are definitely harder games out there. But for those that feel like they are less than half way there ... there are more of us out here than you think. Recommit after a break and forge ahead for the June test if you are so inclined to bite off 3.5 months of prep as your next milestone -- you are not alone. I hope to meet you in study groups.

"Now, please could everyone wiggle in their chairs like this [proctor demonstrates the "wiggle"]" so we, oddly, do, and various chairs start squeaking... and then re-positioning begins. then.... resume instructions ... [hand raised] a protest "[turning to the girl next to her] I'm so sorry, I hope you don't ....but ...[back to the room of 50 people, and directed back to the proctor] "her chair is just a little bit of a distraction"

[girls moves to next seat]

[Proctor] "young lady, could you wiggle your seat for us" ... [squeakle sqeackles] ... [moves again]

[rest of room takes rigid zombie status for next 4 hours]

she eventually found a quiet home but ... I don't know how you recover from that drama.

Can I get an add to this group? Thanks --Mark

holiday weekend, well that's one way to test who's committed! LOL On my calendar for next week. This was my planned day off for a couple of weeks now.
