If I got that score and someone said that to me, 99% chance I’d cut them off for at least a few months, mother or not. Ik that can be impossible and harsh but in my opinion it’s impossible to please someone like this. Like… it’s one thing to say “could do better” and another to insist you should give up. I hope that you can make a decision based around what YOU think is best

Hm… an air filter so there are less fuzzies? Do you have the air con/ heat on in the room? Maybe dirty vents are adding to the problem. Have you tried windex?

unfortunately i thought there was a second flaw: did miller know that callari's proposal was going to raise taxes?

logical equivalent of 'hunters kill no fewer deer' is 'the same or more deer are being killed now by hunters' and I think it makes it easier to see that it's the overall #

It seems like adcomms would naturally assume that redacted scores are at least worse than the median. So then at what percentile would you prefer to redact versus to show?

I think this is good :) I looked at your reasons for eliminating ACs and mine were very similar. If (C) were correct, the stim would need to completely justify why it's okay the celebrities are getting community service when it seems like they should get jail time instead.

Being kicked off for over an hour is a significant tech issue. I was only booted once for about a minute altogether. I would contact LSAC asap and request a retake. If you prefer a refund or cancellation that’s up to you!

Imho stay away from Khan Academy. Although I appreciate that it's free, the LSAT material is not organized well or explained well. I was also trying to save money on study materials, but ultimately it was not a good use of my time. Also stay away from prep books and classes from Princeton Review and Kaplan.... I just think they're convoluted and useless. As the person above said: Loophole and Powerscore are so popular for good reasons. I also really liked LSAT Trainer by Mike Kim once I decided to re-start my LSAT prep. I had a friend who was finished studying so I took his used books for free. You can also look on Facebook marketplace, nextdoor, your local public library, or even in the forum here. The ones I liked most were the ones I went onto buy myself. Don't pay for paperback prep-tests, pay for a online subscription so you can look at the same question in a more 'fresh' way (plus the test is online too). Unfortunately the reality is that this process is going to cost $$$, but it's worth some initial investment so that you're getting good material to learn from.

Which of these statements is logically equivalent to: 'few are critically acclaimed or popular with collectors'?

1. most are not critically acclaimed AND not popular

2. most are not critically acclaimed OR not popular

I know it really doesn't matter in order to answer the question, but I'm just curious if DeMorgan's applies here? #help #help

stretching :) whatever is a good distraction for you. i think the real goal is just to avoid constantly replaying the first two sections in your mind. good luck!

@ thank you! love the name btw 😂

I would take a section, tell yourself you don't really care about the score just yet, and focus intently on getting to all four passage and answering all ~27 questions. If you're not able to finish the whole section now, this should be faster than you are comfortable with. That way, you'll have a better sense for how the pace should feel. I'd work on getting those questions right after that :) Also keep in mind, timing strategies are personal. The ratio of time spent reading versus time spent answering will differ per person, you just have to find what works best for you.

I just want to give a digital hug wherever you're at. This shit is tough.

@ Did you have to apply beforehand or did you just get the hotel room and send the receipt? I tried to do it for Aug but got too confused by the website and forgot it altogether.

@ They were plastic and clear, but the LSAC website says that foam ones are okay. Not sure if my proctor actually made that distinction or if they didn't know and just decided to be more cautious. I've definitely seen that they are inconsistent with what they do/ don't allow so it'll probably depend somewhat on your proctor.

oof

If you can get everything you want to say across in 3000 characters instead of 5000, adcomms would probably appreciate it. They've got tons of essays and files to go through. That being said, you have more space to maximize your essay, so think about if you can add anything something that's meaningful? Basically don't just use it for the sake of utilizing it.

I'm 100% same way. Even the ticking of a clock gets to me. You can get LSAC to pay for a hotel room for you; there's a deadline a few weeks before the exam. Also, why not call your local library and ask if you can book a study room? See if that's an option for the real test or even just to study. I took it at home and asked my boyfriend to be super quiet, which worked out fine. But they said no to my cordless ear plugs which was -_-

For this question # B is the correct AC

weird, my clear glass cup was fine!

Can you focus more on your health and wellness? Limiting your caffeine/ sugar intake, getting enough quality sleep, eating consistently/ nutritiously, cleaning up your space if you can...? It becomes very easy to forget yourself while you're getting ready for this test, and hopefully at least some of these things can get you just feeling a bit better first.

It seems like an assumption to go from “language is rooted in an innate ability” to language is universal across most/all societies. Can someone explain why it’s not? #help #help

I think this is normal. There’s so much that goes into how we do: not every test is the same difficulty, some tests will be better suited to our strengthens than others, the environment around us, how we’re feeling that given day/moment, etc.

Easier said than done but try to not see one score as exactly representative of what you’re capable of. An avg of full on proper tests (not sections), IMO, is a much better way to see where you’re at.

If you’re struggling with RC, try to figure out what the root of the issue is. If you have someone you can talk to, bounce ideas and thoughts. Maybe you’re struggling to grasp concepts or maybe you’re not reading for structure, etc. Getting things wrong, however shitty and relatable it absolutely is, is also a chance to learn. Good luck!

RC? LR? Both?

How does one even go about finding their scores again o_o
