In your case I don't think ranking matters much. Graduating with minimal debt would be worth it for me if I were in your position- try to make good connections in your legal community!
This AC would have made a lot more sense to me had the teacher shown the paintings to the same class. The fact that it was different classes really threw me, as AC D seemed like such a big assumption to just conclude that the students were affected by what the teacher said. Perhaps the other class just had very different taste and that's why they chose the other painting? Or it was a younger class and the "prestigious" painting happened to have a lot more colors? I feel like we don't know why they chose the different paintings, it could have been many reasons so I actually thought D was a trap answer. Was doing well with MSS but this one definitely threw me..
It's my understanding that all law schools must get back to you with a decision, however the timing is up to them- unfortunately, I have heard stories of people applying in Sept and not hearing back until the following July :(
Can someone please help explain why D is correct? Not sure if this questions is actually very difficult or if I'm just not fully understanding this stimulus to begin with. Been looking at it for ages and it's just not totally clear to me why D is right, help!
Admin note: edited title; please use the format of "PT#.S#.Q# - [brief description]"
Admin note: Due to LSAC rules, we cannot post PT questions in their entirety in our forums. Asking questions about the questions "hey, can someone help me understand why D is correct" and context is fine. Ex: "I thought it was a MSS question, but why is B not correct?"
I chose D because I read it as we only know that birds fly into vegetation when startled by predators specifically. When startled by other things, we don't know how they'd react. Thought I was trying to reconcile why they would fly out of vegetation, thought the only reasonable reconciliation was they have different reactions for different causes of being startled.
When it says "killed when, THUS startled..." is the "thus" sort of referring back to their behavior when startled described earlier?
Which # is F97? It looks like the early PTs do not have explanations for LR unfortunately, probably because the questions are quite different and unrepresentative of current tests. I have been doing the PTs in order and it was a struggle for some of those early questions w/o explanations- best bet is to post the problem on here and see if other students can help you.
No, I haven't done writing for July either and I'm registered for October. You just need to have one on file for when you apply I believe
I recently went to a law school fair and admissions officers there generally advised you to take it as few times as possible, 3 times at the most they said. However, I'm sure taking it 5 times and ending with a 170 would trump someone who just took it once and got a 150.
I don't think another cancel would look bad esp since July will be introducing the digital. Plus if you do choose to cancel you have the option of a free retake which you can study for and potentially improve your score a few months down the line. If you're up for it, I'd say take the July!
