That is not how I define, or have defined, poor advice. Thank you for providing another example of fallacious reasoning; that was an example of the logical fallacy known as the "straw man". @, you're doing 7sage more harm than good right now. Because 7sage has been invaluable to my LSAT knowledge, I am going to put an end to this and stop commenting on here
I DO NOT WANT 7SAGERS TO BE MISLED BY POOR ADVICE. THAT IS MY ONLY EXPECTATION
My fellow 7sagers, that right there is a perfect example of the type of flawed reasoning known as an ad hominem attack.
@, that is not what I stated in my comment. I asked a question and stated that "If you are not qualified to offer advice, you should not be offering misleading advice." I am looking out for my fellow fellow 7sagers, because I do not want them to be misled by poor advice. As you are a Mentor and BR Group leader, I would expect you to have the same concerns that I do.
I still would like to know what makes @, as a mentor, qualified to offer advice as he does.
My question still has not been addressed. And the responses to my question seem to be a great example of flawed reasoning.
@, you edited your comment after my post. So, I would like to ask a new question in order to make my own determination as to whether @ is qualified to offer advice. @, what is your average score on practice tests under "strict" conditions?

@, my comment was neither uncivil nor disrespectful; I simply posed a question. Please then, explain how @ is qualified as a mentor. In my past LSAT experience, I have suffered from following poor advice from unqualified individuals. I do not believe that I have misunderstood the "nature of this community", as I have hoped and expected that the "nature of the community" does not promote this kind of advice.

I completely disagree with the posts above. I think you should take it. I was in a similar position for last December's test (PT 77), and I decided to take it, in which I later canceled that score. The experience was extremely valuable to me. It opened my eyes to the facts that: (1) the LSAT is a fucking beast; and (2) the effects of test day pressure are fucking real. As a result of that experience, I learned the importance of taking tests under STRICT test-day conditions, and I completely changed my approach to the test after that, because it was a sobering experience. After that experience, I learned how to put myself in the best position possible to achieve my goal of a 175+. I will be taking the test this September, and I can guarantee you that I will achieve my goal of scoring a 175+.
Here is a picture of my scores on the last 9 practice tests that I have taken http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=1zxidj&s=9#.V9ira5MrJE4 , which have all been under strict conditions at the actual testing center where I'll be taking my test at. As you'll see, my average is approximately a 177; and that is the reason why I believe that I am qualified to comment on this topic. I believe that I am going to score a 180, and I will post evidence when I do.
This brings me to another topic that I have wanted to address for the last few weeks: @, I have seen you comment on almost every single discussion that has been posted in the last few months — what makes you qualified to offer advice as you do? You post on almost every single discussion. If you are not qualified to offer advice, you should not be offering misleading advice.

Thank you! That was really kind of y'all.
Hey J.Y., is there also a some relationship as follows: WAC ←s→QA ?
Can you draw this inference from the words "though this means that"?
(this question is unrelated to getting this question right; I'm just wondering in case something similar shows up in a future question)
