I'm really enjoying hearing about everyone's experience with their personal statements and the different steps they took to get it started/finish it !! Thanks for all the wonderful responses (3(/p)

@kesmith820257 I really love this response. This is great advice. Thank you!!

@alexchitaia123142 thank you for your thoughtful response/encouragement ! You’re absolutely right, I should just start typing at least to get the ball rolling. (3(/p)

@christinagomez7738165 thank you for your response !!

@brandonkhalil111510 omg same -.-

My same problem I keep scoring in 156-low 160s it’s all over that range n I take the test in a week...I want it to be consistent in the low 160s.

I’ve noticed that reading comp kills my score, I get at least 8 wrong per section :/ don’t know what else I can do at this point.

What I’ve been doing is just simulating the lsat flex at this point as often as possible and going over what I get wrong. Paying a lot of attention to traps that I end up falling for or am attracted to and building my confidence.

If anyone has tips I would really like to hear them as well :(

This is gonna sound weird but I’m so happy the flex is a thing mainly cus I drink so much coffee beforehand so if it’s really a problem I can pee my pants n no one will know (3 taking the lsat holding ur pee is a nightmare ;((/p)

Yeah this test is bs

I get why C is right but for A why is it wrong to assume that if the proportion of birds visiting feeders is much lower than usual that it was an unusual winter ? Because if they normally visit feeders much more due to weather conditions but now aren’t because that changed it’s not the usual phenomenon so to me seems like a unusual winter

Thanks for clearing up what qualify meant because that was what got me stuck on this question and it’s come up in other answers choices too and I just never got around to googling it

Ok you guys I figured as much was just a little nervous and overthinking but the comments have alleviated my anxiety a bit (3(/p)

What

Honestly I don’t even know what B is even saying I just got it from process of elimination

I thought the same exact thing and I still don’t get it. I hate this test

I’m sorry but the word quackery is so funny to me I couldn’t help but laugh like who says that lol

Wonderful explanation it cleared things up for me thanks!

Man E isn’t fair because so what if the epidemic doesn’t last as long than it did in the past? We’re comparing the length of a virus from way back in the past to modern day when now we have more advances in technology and medicine and overall knowledge about sickness, the body, and hygiene. Also, so what if not all victims of the virus get hiccups? You can still have a virus/sickness without displaying all symptoms that come with it (hello, Covid). I understand you aren’t supposed to bring real world knowledge into the lsat but on some other questions JY even states in some instances it’s “reasonable” to make certain assumptions. The distinction has to be way more clear. This test is honestly bullshit

Are you not allowed to do that bc u HAVE to include At least one bladed that engraves ? I mean obv the answer choice makes sense if that’s the case but I don’t know why I didn’t have a clear understanding of this having to be the case from the stimulus :/

Okay what don’t I get..I know I’m really bad at math but this is weird to me I only got it right off intuition. So imagine you have ten pin tipped and ten bladed and all the pin tipped are used for engraving as the stimulus says, but sometimes the bladed ones are used for engraving and sometimes not. Let’s pretend here all ten of the bladed ones are NOT used for engraving. If there’s 10 pin tipped & 10 bladed that’s equal amount of Tools used & not used for engraving...wth

I know, I only got this right because of intuition..

Religious institutions disregarding unethical behavior ?? Nooooo effing waaaay

but the explanation for 10 is great
