" required of all pilots" = prepared by pilots. Is that a common sense assumption that LSAT assumes you would make because I totally missed it? If the reports were not prepared by pilots would B still be correct?#help

lol did anyone else take that survey on LSACs website hoping that if you did your score would be one of the first ones released.....or at least not one of the last.

This great as someone who is going to be in a similar position.

What kind of work did you have duding 1L summer?

Prior to law school did you have any professional experience?

Out of all the people you saw getting interviews and landing BL jobs could you give a rough estimate of how many where involved in groups like law review, moot court..ect?

Thanks again!

Is it a flaw to assume that because absence of a factor (X) causes something (Y) that the presence of the factor (X) alleviates (Y)?

no X cause Y therefore X --> no (or at least less) Y

I found the trainer really helpful with flaws and also NA questions because the two are closely related. From what I understand flaws are NAs. For example if a flaw is exposed it destroys the argument much the same as a negated necessary assumption. Usually ACs for flaw questions say “assumes without warrant”. These unwarranted assumptions are necessary for the validity of the argument. Hence flaws are necessary assumptions. The trainer brings this relationship out. It helped me a lot with flaw and NA questions.

The CC may also have mentioned this. It’s been awhile since I completed the NA and flaw section

I wonder if the digital LSAt will be similar to Kahn Academy's program. They have a highlighting feature, however I feel like it can be a time sink especially on RC.

If you are missing flaw questions I would check out the Trainer. Understanding flaws and being able to spot them quickly in a stimulus will be helpful when it comes to assumption, weaken, and strengthen questions, also to a lesser extent RRE questions.

If it’s modifiers what I found helps is focusing on the subjects of the premises and conclusion. Is the conclusion addressing the same group? Chances are it’s not. Then when you move to the Ac’s it’s a similar process. Does each AC address the same group as the premises or at least address a group that inferences can be made about. Focusing on the “who” in the stimulus really narrows down which ACs are relevant

Lol not even close chicago

As someone who's been doing 30's-50's, this has me really worried. Is there that big of a difference between the former and 70-80's?

I don’t think the difference is that big. You can still score what you had been scoring on older test. I think the ACs are less cookie cutter and require more time. At least that’s how it was for me. If you are taking the test soon definitely go through 1-2 LR sections from a recent PT untimed or timed to get a feel for it. It could be that it won’t be an issue for you but if it is try in zone in on exactly why just like a regular br.

The first LR section from 85 was pretty hard. In general the more recent LSATS 72-85 have LR sections with longer stimuluses and answer choices as well as more subtle correct answers. So for someone making that transition from older to more recent PTs could reasonably results in a score drop. Especially if you go from 40s to 80s. I would say blind review 85 thoroughly especially the LR portion. Maybe go through PT 83 LR portion and either do it timed or un-timed and get a feel for how the AC are more subtle.

I had a similar situation. My LR score decreased pretty dramatically when I took 85. I think the issue was I was used to moving very quickly through some of the older LRs the answers just seemed more obvious. When I took 85 I tried to keep that same pace and ended up falling for many trap Acs. What has helped me has been just slowing down and reworking my pacing. the Acs are trickier in the more recent PTS so they require more attention. In the end though it is the same game, same tricks, you may just have to read more carefully.

I was in the same position as you. I had about three months of study under my belt. I started with premium then upgraded to ultimate plus for access to the pts and explanations. The highest level comes with PDFs of all the PTs and explanations. So if you don’t have majority of them it’s a good deal. Especially if your in it for the long hall and will be studying for the better part of a year. Also, the lessons on logic and grammar were extremely valuable. Finally being able to reprint Sections is really helpful especially for games.

Is there no possibility of doing both? Do you have to travel to go to this school? Open houses don't take all day. And if you have a typical 2 day weekend, could you do the open house one day and PT on the other?

That said, I don't think it's crucial to take a final PT. You've pretty much made all the gains you're going to make. It's best to take the final week before a test easy. I'd say go to the open house.

Thanks Leah M B. I could take it Sunday however I would not be able to do so until the afternoon- my library does not open until then- and since it is the last test I want to mimic actual conditions as much as possible. So the alternative would be to take it Monday mooring and review it Tuesday - Friday. The problem is this leaves little time for drilling after. But as you said there are little if any gains to be made.

The difference between A and B in an analogy.

A: my study plan over the past 3 months has increased my score by 1pt. Had I not gone with my plan I would have not increased my score. Thus my plan was not ill conceived

B: I went blind when I started studying, so its entirely possible that I had a great plan but I cannot study.

-Take away: just because its possible that the campaign had "some benefit" it does not mean that it was well conceived.

Legal theorist : morally legit --> prevent harm to others ---> conform rules and force people to act purely for own good

Author: conform rules ←s→ prevent harm to others

rules force people to act for own good ←s→ prevent harm to others

So it seems that the author is negating the Theorist statement "prevent harm to others ---> conform rules and force people to act purely for own good"

The RC that was real was the one with the opera.

Did the RC with opera have a passage about degrees of "right" as the last passage. I remember the opera but I cannot remember if it was the same one.

Can anybody confirm if the RC with the passage about degrees of right Was real?

Honeybees was real

@ said:

I had experimental LR, RC with opera comparative passages was real and so was the LG section with the musicians accompanying performers

Was the real rc The one with the passage about different degrees of being right I think it was the last passage it was kind of short

@ Thanks for the advice ! Best of luck to you as well

IF AC D had said that "prior to implementation of the 830 start time a significantly higher number of accidents involving teenagers happened durning the morning than the evening compared to after the implementation" would this be correct.

My thinking is that while we know that overall number of teenage accidents has decreased it may be that the the vast majority of accidents that account for the decrease were accidents that involve teens driving in the evening leaving the number of accidents involving teens driving in the morning unchanged.

Im confused with the wording in AC C Q.19.

As I understand it C says that one can transfer the right to copy an item for profit and that such a transfer is consistent with with TOT. Does the passage imply this? I know that the creator retains the right to copy for profit. But where in the passage does it state or imply that the right to copy for profit can be transferred ?

Call LSAC and find out what's up. The school should have gotten it, no need to do anything. Last year, a few weeks after applying (ugh), a school told me that they never received my LSAT score. Had to call LSAC, who told me they had sent it, called the school back, repeat that back and forth a couple more times, until the school figured out that my score was just entered into a wrong field in their system or something. So, sometimes weird stuff happens during the transfer, I guess. Just call LSAC to confirm it was transmitted, then call the school and ask what they need from you, what's missing, etc.

Are you still in undergrad? Last year I requested my transcripts during my last quarter of undergrad and some schools marked me incomplete bc I did not requested updated transcripts with my last quarter’s grades.

Leah M B Thats pretty much what happen. LSAC sent it and the college received it yet somehow they sent me an email saying they hadn't. Anyhow I called and all is well.

Thanks for the responses !

Curious do you guys think not having LinkedIn or Facebook looks bad?
