So, I've just taken the May LSAT Flex and I got a 169. My undergrad GPA is 3.82. I was definitely prepping better than a 169 in the weeks leading up to the flex, even getting a 177 the last PT I took before the real thing. I'm sure nerves played a part in my performance. Right now I'm just trying to figure out if I should try to retake it again before applications on the fall or let it ride. I'm worried that a lower score will just do more harm than good and am unsure if my lower quantitative factors combined with what I think are very strong soft factors are enough to get me into the likes of HYS or CCN.
Soft factors: 11 years of service in the Navy as nuclear submarine officer. Studied Nuclear Engineering in undergrad and finished in 3 years while serving as active duty. Tons of arduous professional experience and leadership roles and relatively top performer in my profession. Also, I'm a first generation college grad, only person in my family with a degree.
Any chance that a killer PS with my soft factors could make up for my LSAT and get me into the likes of Harvard or Stanford or Chicago? Advice is greatly appreciated! Thanks guys!
I selected E for this question and in review I absolutely see why C weakens the argument. However, I don't agree with JYs explanation for why E is not correct. This may just be the engineering background in me, but thermal insulation can and absolutely DOES keep things cold. Insulation by definition just reduces heat transfer in either direction through the surfaces for which the insulation is installed. A well insulated home will stay cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter. Think of a cooler you take camping. It is insulated by air between two plastic moldings. This air (the insulation) is what prevents heat from being transferred to the interior of the cooler from the environment, thereby keeping it cool.
Having said that, I chose E because I originally saw it as providing an alternative reason for why the architecture changed, vice air conditioning. Can any one provide a better justification for why E is wrong than what is in the video? Or is this one of those questions that an engineer like my self just way over analyzed because the test writers clearly don't have engineering backgrounds?
