Does anyone have suggestions of gift to say thanks to recommenders? I saw an old post suggesting a mug from the school you got into. Idk if I'd want to be on the receiving end of a mug from a random school lol

LSAC sucks.

I submitted my request for accommodations almost a month ago. LSAC's website says they'll get back to you within 8-10 business days but it may take longer... aka they can take however long they want. We all know best practice is to study and prep as close to how test day will be. But if I don't know if my request will be honored I can't prep. LSAC sucks. They don't gaf about accommodated students. They don't even respond to my emails.

I took the LSAT in October. I can get out of my mind anxious when I'm testing, to the point that I can't comprehend what I've even reading. I call it "seeing white". Anyway, I have stop/start breaks and I can't tell you how much it helped. I was able to stop the clock and swivel my chair around at any point during the test and just breathe. It wasn't even for a whole minute every time. I would just close my eyes, breath, and ground myself. I have a list of affirmations I've written I read to myself leading up to testing. During the test I'd say the ones to myself I remembered and it was super helpful. Anxiety freaking sucks and I know i'm not the only one who struggles so wanted to pass this along. Say what you will about my cheesy affirmations, everyone JY interviews who scores high talks about how important mental health is during this process. 🤓

According to LSAC a ton of people have signed up for October. I've been checking and refreshing to sign up for a seat in a testing center. I'm required to test at a testing center because I'm taking it pen/paper. I've searched for slots all over my state and even into the next closest state but it's not showing any availability. LSAC gave me Prometric's phone number. I've called and been disconnected every time. I called LSAC and they're like, meh, we can't help you, call them back. It's so frustrating. When I asked them point blank if I'm guaranteed a spot if I've paid and sign up they say no, that it's first come, first serve. And I asked them if, worst case, I don't get a spot, will I get my money back, they said no. How is that possible? Like you can't give a company your money and be denied the product? I will continue to refresh but LSAC sucks.

Help with RC 'main idea' q's

I know I'm wrong, but I look for answers that would nicely summarize the passage. PT10 passage 2 for example is comparing two styles of art: Venetian and Tuscan. I immediately eliminated AC's that only mention one or the other style as this didn't seem like a good summary (trust me, I get that I'm really missing the mark here). The correct AC was [first sentence of second paragraph] something to the effect of the author's main complaint about an art critic's view. The first paragraph, to me, seemed to be exclusively about comparing and contrasting the two art styles. I focused on being able to distinguish between the two. I missed the subtlety of the author's viewpoint-- that the art critic was presenting a view at all.

Whereas the incorrect AC I selected was literally just a true factoid found within the passage that happened to include both "Venetian" and "Tuscan". I am missing out on the big picture. I know it's very intuitive for many. I am very focused on structure and content, so I overlook other important aspects of the passage.

Oftentimes when I watch JY's explanations, I feel like 'wow I never would have made that inference on my own' or I still don't understand at all. So I obviously need work but I'm not sure how to approach my Games practice. When I fool proof, I tend to feel like I'm memorizing and just brain dumping versus practicing and making inferences on my own. I need a 'Games for Dummies' guide-- a really straightforward approach for a neurodiverse brain, as someone who Games are not intuitive whatsoever. I've done the CC and I practice memorizing logic rules a few times a week, so not knowing the basics isn't the issue. I try to set up the games without watching JY's videos and sometimes I do really well--I often solve it using a different approach than JY takes. And sometimes I'm solving 5/5 difficulty on my own and they feel like a breeze. But other times, I get pretty stuck on one of the questions and I end up having to watch the video for support. But when I do that, I feel like I miss out on the practice of making inferences for myself and I really need that practice. Comment if games aren't exactly intuitive for you and tell me what has worked!

In the lesson about and/or sufficiency splits, JY says we split the 'or'. But in another lesson we learn that two sufficient conditions pointing to one necessary is an invalid argument. So i'm confused why it's okay to split the 'or' sufficiency. Can someone please dumb that down for me?
