I agree with @ that one should finish their BR before moving on to another PT. I know how tempting it can be since, in relation to BR, a PT can be more exciting. Testing your 100-yard dash for time is often more exciting than watching the video breakdown on replay and assessing your weaknesses during your last run, but it's probably not the best move.
I'd like that. I'm available any time on the weekends, but during the week it would have to be in the evening.
In a rush to get registered before the last few spots filled, I submitted a sub-par photo to LSAC, assuming I could change that photo after registration. I see no option to change it, however. I'll try calling them tomorrow when they open back up, but I was hoping maybe one of you may know.
Thanks,
Mikey
Thanks everyone! That was very helpful. As my first BR group, it's provided me with a lot of lessons. I look forward to doing another now that I know the format.
No problem. There's a fine line between nitpicking and pointing out important details, and I know as a moderator these things can be very annoying, so just know that it was the latter. Thanks for getting these things going.
I see that the discussion forum title says that this is for PT48, but the heading right above the GoToMeeting link says it's PT46 (Saturday, Feb 20th at 8PM ET: PT46). To be clear, this is for 48, right?
The original 4 section test, I presume?
@ I also really enjoy the Thinking LSAT podcast. It's perfect for keeping my mind on the subject matter while doing things that prohibit me from actively studying.
I don't really know what to say to help, but I appreciate that you shared this. I'm gearing up for my 2nd take and I wonder the same thing. The right question to ask yourself may instead be, how many times are you willing to get back up and try again? You're likely going to meet a lot of criticism as you travel this path, but if it's right for you, then who besides you should care?
@ thanks for helping to clarify that for everyone. My use of X(insert modifier) was supposed to come across as X+x's modifier-->, not just X alone. Likewise for the other examples. Regardless, this is a mistake in clarity, which can be just as devastating. Thanks for reminding me of that.
I think the issue with your "the only" is that it's missing elements, at least with the example you provided with "The only human being can have souls." If it said, "The only human beings who can have souls are X(whatever modifier you want)." it would translate into HB ---> X. Or "the only" can be used like this:
"X's are the only human beings who can have souls", which is still HB---->X.
The 7Sage lesson on this tells it much better:
For the first example:
The only X's (insert modifiers) are the Y's (insert modifiers).
In this form, the Y's must call back, point back, refer back to the X's.
The translation is X-->Y
And for the second:
Y's (insert modifier) are the only X's (insert modifier).
In this form, the X's must call back, point back, refer back to the Y's.
The translation is X-->Y
Using the above examples with "only" (a group 2 necessary indicator), we would find:
Human beings who can have souls are only X. HB ---> X
and
Only X are human beings who can have souls HB ---> X.
If I'm mistaken, then please, dear God, someone help us both.
I'm interested in being of assistance too. I'd like to swap, but mine isn't anywhere near ready. PM me if you'd like and when the time comes, I'll get you mine as well.
Try clearing your cache. They've got a page somewhere on this site that explains how to do it.
I'd wondered this as well. The responses here already sum it up well, though. For me, I track all the LG I've done on a spreadsheet, and then practice those till I master them. Once I've done that, I try to avoid using the PT that it came from as a full practice PT, and instead work each section independently.
Anyone trying to BR 54 today?
I'm in Tempe and would love to study with y'all. @ and I are both prepping for June 2016. I work a lot, so my studying happens a little in the evenings and mainly on the weekends. What about you?
Newbie moment: what's the difference between a LOCI and a personal statement?
I'd be happy to read it as well.
Excuse me if this was made explicitly clear already, but it sounds like some people are presented with options, which require a response within a certain amount of time, and others are presented with an approval, which then informs them that roughly two weeks before the test they will receive more details about their particular test center, proctor, etc.
I know mine presented me with the latter of the two scenarios. I was informed of my accommodations and told that I would receive more details roughly two weeks prior to the test date.
There is nothing included about accommodations being conditional.
My initial concern with this arose when they allegedly cited law school professor's complaints as a reason why they would add this section. That seemed uncharacteristic of them. But if any of you know this to actually be characteristic of them, then by all means, school me on it.
I am further concerned, however, that I didn't catch the Princeton matter.
I'm traveling back from California this Sunday so I probably won't be able to make it, but next Sunday would be great.
