You certainly do not have to get a 170+ to be accepted to A&M. Their median LSAT is a 165. Their UGPA median is 3.74, which you are much above, so they would likely accept you with a slightly lower LSAT.

#feedback It feels like some of the LR and Core Curriculum should swap places. I remember struggling way more with the end of the CC than this middle-ish section of the LR content. I feel like I wasted some time trying to understand the end of the CC when I would have been better able to understand it with more practice with simpler LR principles. But overall, I am learning rapidly and increasing my score steadily. Happy to say that I PT'd a 176 last week and am still confident I can shoot for a 180 in August!

I get what you're saying, and I use abbreviations in my study as well. I just find it curious that in the following lessons, "Agamemnon" and "Aeschylian" are pronounced in full several times and with no abbreviation, while the same is not true of Mphahlele’s name.

#feedback not even attempting to say Mphahlele's name was not super awesome. To borrow from Uzoamaka Nwanneka, if you can learn to say Tchaikovsky and Michaelangelo and Dostoyevsky (and the latin names of bacterium in the case of 7sage), you can learn how to say Mphahlele!

A good reminder to at least skim all of the answer choices! If D had been listed before B, I would have certainly chosen it, but because I was fine with B as the answer choice, I didn't even bother reading it until BR. Seems obvious, but it's easy to get caught up in the timing!

#feedback It would be helpful if the lawgic was included in the answer reveal!

I will score a 180 on the August LSAT.

Not always helpful when the modifiers are the distinction! For example, you wouldn't want to use K if the next sentence was "Kingdoms in Westeros whose economies rely predominantly on agriculture support foreign policies that aim to support neutrality". Or if the next sentence was "Kingdoms in Middle Earth whose economies rely predominantly on trade support foreign policies that aim for strong defense systems". I always read the full stimulus before picking my symbol so I avoid picking one that's confusing or could be too similar to another one.

No, but you can create the visual yourself if you'd like. It's just to better organize the form of the argument and the relationship between different premises.
