I find, out of all three sections, LGs are more universal - being selective about old vs. new is less relevant compared to the other two. As there are practically no alternative materials outside of LSAT that help honing in the required inferences, I recommend just practice all, tons, repeat, to reach to the point where it almost becomes a second nature to your brain and hands. :)

@azakunne505 I am sorry if my post annoyed you, it is not my intention to sound annoying, but I understand your point. As @ashleytien240 correctly pointed out, to some (not all, some) law school journey is not just a "pack your backpack and just go" kind of thing. It is a huge(r) time commitment depending on personal circumstances, big(ger) financial investment, and not everyone gets into the process with 100% certainty that this indeed is THE path. On which end of spectrum one is at, it is perfectly fine and natural to feel insecure, unsure, and lost.

To some, the root of anxiety comes from not getting into one's top choices or dismal prospect of not becoming a "hot shot" lawyer.

To some, there are other personal concerns and fears totally unrelated to material prospect the profession will reward.

As much as the field of law is broad, I believe the pool of applicants (us in the journey) are diverse, and without jumping to conclusion that one is anxious because of X reason, and X reason is not an absolute fact thus being anxious is groundless, we could all use each other in this community to give a pat on the shoulder :smile: It costs nothing! :)

Hi there! maybe my thought process helps, I got this question right by following logic:

I think the danger here is that you are focusing on the info not directly related to the conclusion - (i.e. Woodcutter, which is the purpose "in an effort to" of local environmental groups.

The main premise and conclusion of this stimulus can be thought in Causal flaw:

P: Tourists trample MOST of the small shrubs necessary to survival of monarch butterflies that FALL OFF the trees.

C: Tour groups are ENDANGERING (i.e. causing) --> monarch butterfly population.

The flaw here, is to jump on the absolute conclusion from the subset of info ("most small shrubs" does not represent ALL ).

Therefore, in order for us to ensure this argument is airtight, we need to validate (= calculate) if the impact to this subset (butterflies that fall off trees) from the whole pie.

This is what (E) is exactly doing.

I hear you, same thing happened to me for the Aug. take - mine was pushed back 60 minutes after multiple disconnection and change of proctor 2 times... it was my 1st take and really bothered me. Although I do not completely blame this tech glitch for my failing the Aug take, but it did leave me in total numbness (and by the time the test started at 3pm, i was very hungry...). Shit happens, all we can do is to make a lemonade :)

Let's kill the Nov take!

I am minimally doing 1 game per day out of conscience...

I wonder if total score should be technically fluctuating by wide margin, since x-tra section is not scored anyway? Unless one is very weak on a certain type (LR/RC/LG) and performing on this specific type as an x-tra drains mental acumen and considerably affects the performance of other sections..

I graduated from college in 2010 (yikes!), have lived and worked 4 different countries, 35 years old, (still) single, no kids, ready to roll the next scene of my life movie - law school! you are not alone, everyone has a different timeline, let's beat this LSAT beast down together :)

Hello, am I misunderstood that technically different test locations should not prevent one from taking the U.S. test, as it is FLEX? it will be inconvenient time difference tho.

joined! let's do this!

please count me in! :)
