Is it possible to list the "target time" for each LG in the context of the section as a whole, instead of per a game?

Odd Test Day Question

I remember seeing somewhere that you need to look like the photo you submitted of yourself on test day (obviously), but does that mean I can't get like a new hairstyle? My hairs kinda long and I've gotten the urge to cut it more and more as summer has come rolling in, but now I'm hesitant to do so..

Kind of a semantics question but I think its important (basically why I get the question wrong). Why can't the hypothetical given in Passage A be seen as an "instance" for Q16, answer E. I thought instances = examples and examples = hypotheticals. If it said something like "concrete instances", of course I could see how E can be eliminated, but given that it just says "instances" I don't see how that doesn't match Passage A. Unless its because of the plurality and we're only given one instance in the passage...

For Q14 the correct answer choice is based on lines 22-24, however the author merely states that this "may cause" certain effects. When I was answering the question I was reluctant to interpret the "may cause" as something that the author would "likely consider... to be an accurate description", instead of just seeing it as possibility (which may in fact never occur). Any advice on how to determine when you can stretch the meanings and when to stay rigid?

Study Plan Help

Well I knew I messed up on the Oct. LSAT but not as badly as I actually did.... I scored about 10 points lower than what I was consistently scoring on PTs and now I am a little shell shocked on how to proceed for the Dec. test. I just joined 7sage however I have already done every PT in preparation for the Oct. test. I haven't gone over the actual test yet to see where I messed up, but considering I went from scoring in the upper 160s on practice tests to an upper 150 on the actual test, I'm guessing I just messed up everywhere and would like to chalk it up to just nerves. Does anyone know if its common to just perform poorly on the first LSAT you take? If anyone is/has been in a similar situation or just has any advice at all on how I should proceed I would greatly appreciate it. I've learned that I'm what's known as a "splitter", so I am heavily depending on obtaining the score that I know I can get. Appreciate it

Wow I haven't heard of law schools potentially accepting the GRE, but I think it would have significant consequences. Overall, the GRE is an easier test, and if law schools were to weigh the GRE the same way they weigh the LSAT, having an option to take a completely different (and easier) test, increasing the likelihood of getting and submitting a higher/more favorable score, definitely plays in the favor of prospective students. I know an argument can be made that there would be greater apps, more competition etc... but on the surface being able to apply to law school with a GRE score and/or an LSAT score would be huge in my opinion. I actually would strongly consider putting off law school for another year if it meant being able to apply with a GRE score as well. I hope some of the experts on this site can offer their 2 cents.

PT based on Testing Center Setup?

This may seem like an overly anxious question, but I was wondering if people take their practice tests in the same way they expect to be taking it on test day? I just realized I will be taking the LSAT this June in a large auditorium, with those tiny desks (the ones where you can't fit both the test and answer sheet completely on it at the same time), compared to the testing center I took the test in last time in which I had an abundant amount of room to spread out the test booklet and the answer sheet. I honestly never took "bubbling strategies" too seriously, but now I'm starting to think I may need to develop a bubbling strategy that caters to not having the answer sheet available on the desk to bubble in at any time. Any thoughts or strategy tips would be really appreciated.

Same situation here in Atlanta. Finding an empty office to crank out some BR or review some curriculum after work is "the move" for me. I get way too comfortable at home to be able to properly focus and stay on task. I never PT after work, only on the weekends. Also, and I think this is actually really important, if I had a particularly stressful/long day at work, I cut my losses and either study less or not at all that day, and just make sure to get a nice night of sleep.

Preparing for modern LSATs

I have seen a lot of posts regarding a decrease in PT scores and/or an increase in difficulty with the newer PTs (70-77). Is there anything in specific that makes these tests harder? I am just starting to PT(starting in the 30s and working my way up) and wondering if there is anything I can attempt to practice while taking these older PTs in preparation for the more moderns tests.

@ (or anyone)

Do you mind elaborating on this:

If the author says "the scientists demonstrated" is very different from "the scientists hypothesized"

If he says "Implementation of this technique will lead to improvements" is very different from "if this technique is implemented, it could lead to improvements".

What exactly is the difference in meaning between these examples? I do "feel" like there's a shift in meaning between the two when reading them side by side, but I can't seem to put my finger on it. Really appreciate the comments by the way.

Problem with the site

Anyone else having trouble accessing their lessons/study schedule today? I can get to the study schedule page, but when I try to click on a lesson, I receive a "404 error - Page not found" for all of them. Maybe there's some site maintenance going on that I didn't hear about? Just want to make sure it's not just me

I think you're deciding between a once in a lifetime experience/opportunity and Law school which will always be there. If I were in your shoes, I think the choice would be pretty easy (assuming you have a love for your project).

Why have so many students "wisely" defected to the September test? Or did they just switch BR groups and are still taking the June test?

I understand how B is correct but I don't understand why A is wrong. The premise in the stimulus states "to do science" and the conclusion is simply about "science". Similarly, in B the premise states "to run an expanding business" and the conclusion is "to run a business". JY eliminated B because of the absence of "expanding" in the conclusion, however the conclusion in the original stimulus lacks the "to do" in the conclusion. Am I crazy for thinking that B parallels the stimulus even more than A since they both contain the same structure AND have that subtle shift in the conclusion? I understand the shift in meaning may be a little more dramatic for the conclusion of B than for the original stimulus, but nonetheless, B parallels that shift and A does not.

I'm more along the lines of Quinn.... Those other comments just seem so morbid to me. Life is what you make of it. There are countless reasons to go to law school and everyone's reasons can/will be different. The reasoning may be right or wrong, but as long as you truly value your reasoning for going to law school, than I think you should (so long as you are able/capable). Law school is one (pretty long) chapter, so I wouldn't worry to much about the next chapter, let alone the end of the book.

Are you supposed to assume that when methane is hit by sunlight and falls apart, that it is no longer methane? I'm not a big science guy, but I was thinking somewhere along the lines that just because something falls apart doesn't necessarily render it something else.
