For each of the LR sections, what might the general proportion of very hard and hard (4 and 5 dots on the difficulty scale) to medium and easy questions?

I think it all comes down to how confident you feel about solving the game and if you can do it quickly. Spaced repetition will definitely help. You can save those other 2 attempts to be solved a few days later to test your intuitions with the game.
The school most likely hold your application, but will send you a notice that your application is incomplete. Once LSAC processes your transcript, CAS will send it to your school and you should receive the email stating your application is complete.
Good luck!
count me in! :D
sounds like an interesting experiment to try out on a prep test!

this explanation worked a little better for me:
Here are the two statements that we are asked to reconcile:
1. There has been a sixfold increase in government funding for the preservation of wetlands.
2. The current amount of government funding for the preservation of wetlands is inadequate and should be augmented.
(A) actually undermines one of the claims we are trying to reconcile. If the money has been consistently mismanaged, then maybe the current amount of funding is adequate and it's just the administrators that need to be replaced. Also, why would we want to give a mismanaged department more money?
(B) does not reconcile the claim that the current level of funding is inadequate. Salaries increasing at a rate higher than the inflation rate does not tell us that the level of funding is inadequate.
(C) is irrelevant. Identifying the areas not yet in need of preservation would not increase the funding necessary, because the preservation is not yet needed. Maybe once these areas begin the preservation process that would explain why more funding would be needed.
(D) undermines the claim that the current level of funding is inadequate. If everyone's pitching in, why would we need more money for the government to undertake the preservation work.
(E) reconciles both statements. It explains why there has been such a large increase in funding and yet the current level of funding is still adequate and should be augmented. If they started off with nearly nothing, then a sixfold increase still amounts to very little, which is why the current level of funding is inadequate.
This should help give you an idea of where you may fall in the admissions stats: https://officialguide.lsac.org/Release/OfficialGuide_Default.aspx
Darn it! I missed the webinar. Is there a way I can watch the recording?
So, the original argument concludes that it's irrational to respond to someone's behavioral advice by pointing out that person's own behavior. (In other words, if you tell me I shouldn't smoke, it's irrational for me to reply, But you smoke!) Why is it irrational? According to the argument, because whether someone listens to his own advice is irrelevant to whether we should follow that advice.
We're looking for the argument that most closely matches this logic.
(D) is correct because it matches both the premise and the conclusion. The claim that "people's actions have no effect on the strength of their arguments" is basically the same as our original premise, and the conclusion that one shouldn't dismiss the philosopher's claim by pointing to the philosopher's actions matches up with our original conclusion.
(A) is tempting, because it concludes that it's irrational for other countries to point to our country's behavior. However, if we look at the premise, we see this is not a good match. The original argument is based on the premise that one's actions have no bearing on the quality of one's advice; here, the premise is simply that we could make the same argument about the other countries that they make about us. But do actions effect the quality of the argument? This answer choice doesn't say.
(B) is incorrect because here, the neighbor does heed his own advice, and the speaker chooses not to follow it based on its results.
(C) is pretty far out there. The issue here is whether the response is rational, not whether it can reduce damage to one's reputation.
(E) is also way off. The original argument is about neither condemnation nor about "wrongs committed by everybody."
@ Thank you! Will PT 80 be available for purchase with explanations before the February LSAT?
LSAC won't release PT80 until after the Feb exam
It appears to work fine, now.
should I take my LSAT in India?!?
The solution seems about right ...
I'm interested!!
@ Is the hold request best done in the Addendum?
I don't think you need to mention it, since you won't be submitting your high school transcripts and most law schools are only concerned with what you've done in college and beyond.
Congrats on getting into Chicago! Will you now attempt the the rejection of the rejection letter? http://money.cnn.com/2015/04/03/news/teen-rejects-duke-rejection/

I think the lovely diarrhea brown of PT 75 is by far the most appropriate color for any PT. Honestly, they should just start using the poop emoji as the cover for future PTs.
