Thanks everyone!! I emailed LSAC and had received the confirmation email.

Note: answer choice A uses extreme wording such as "any".

The stimulus states that:

infants cannot control... the treatment that they receive

Not their actions. We don't know if there exists some action that infants can control (solely based on the evidence stated in the stimulus).

When the stimulus talks about adults on the other hand, it is specifically referring to their actions and how some of those are the inevitable consequences of the treatment they received earlier, which they could not control.

@ Thanks for your explanation! For the answer choice E, here is the "action he or she performs" equivalent to "the treatments they receive"?

Thank you!

Great GPA and LSAT score! If you're adamant on going to law school immediately after graduating, then yes of course spend the summer studying. You already have some awesome ECs under your belt. Maybe intern part time over the summer or don't intern at all. Your internship and law admissions will understand that you were studying over the summer for the LSAT. Even if you weren't studying and just chilled all summer, you're not obligated to stuff all of your free time with work. You're in school full time, hence you dont have to explain like, gaps in productivity during school breaks. If you were graduated from school and had year long periods without working then that would have to be explained.

Note -- the law school admissions process is intensive and will take away from your undergrad studies. If you do get the score you desire in the Fall, when will you have time to write your personal statement? Visit schools? Go to law school interviews? If you are admitted, when will you have time to plan for your move and find housing?

@ Thanks for your reply and suggestions! I only have 4-5 classes left and my honor thesis to be finished, so I only need to take 6-9 credits per semester. Being a part-time student might enable me to apply for law school at the same time. Or maybe I underestimate the intensity of law school application. Do you have any suggestions for me to study LSAT from now to the June test? and the overall application at all? Thanks!!!

I think that's a very wise decision to postpone until June. I also want to note that you absolutely need to make sure you don't sacrifice a single point off your GPA while studying for the LSAT. You can go to law school any time, you could wait until a year or 2 after you graduate to take the LSAT. But once your grades are in and your GPA is settled, there's no changing it. You need to maximize that while you can.

That said, I've heard some people say that the LSAT Trainer is complementary to 7sage. I wouldn't recommend any other study materials. Also agreed with @ that you should only be taking 1-2 full PTs per week. Between PTs, the best thing to do is drills and timed sections. Have you watched the webinar on post-cc strategies? This is a really really good place to start: https://classic.7sage.com/webinar/post-core-curriculum-study-strategies/

Basically, the way you improve is by answering questions and thoroughly reviewing them. PTs are just a way to gauge your progress. (And doing a thorough BR of the PTs also is how you improve.) So that should be your focus. Drilling by question type and closely reviewing them so you really understand the thought process, why the wrong answers are wrong and the right one is right. Foolproofing the LGs is also one of the best things you can do with your time. Repetition and review.

You're on the right track, this just all takes a lot of patience.

@ thanks for your suggestions! Basically, I should do PT one/two per week and thoroughly review them till the June test, so I can do around 30-40 timed tests before the June exam. Drill and re-watch some core curriculum if needed. Am I understanding you correctly? Thanks again!!

Yes - here, I'll give you my example of what a typical study week looked like for me (also note I was working full time):

Monday: 1 timed LR section during lunch, evening - BR it, drill a few additional LR of 1 type

Tuesday: evening - LG foolproofing

Wednesday: 1 timed RC during lunch, evening - BR it, 1 or 2 timed LGs (not sections, games)

Thursday: off, no studying

Friday: evening drilling LR questions by type with BR

Saturday: full timed PT

Sunday: BR the PT

Repeat!

@ Thank you so much for sharing your study schedule with me! I was wondering for 1) LR questions by type, are you using Cambridge? or other sources? Where can I access them? 2) for LG questions, should I focus on foolproofing 1-35 prep tests or later ones?

OP- you've already paid for Saturday so why not just take it and then cancel your score? This could help you get used to taking the test in the real environment.

Its also fine to withdraw. You can take it any of the other four times and have a score ready for 2019 1L.

@ I am pretty much in the same situation. I've 90% decided to withdraw, but your post makes me indecisive again. Especially, these two days, after I relaxed a bit and actually scored better than before. I reviewed the questions I got wrong before and got 95% of them correct, and drilled 1/2 section LR and 2 games a day, they all went smoothly.

However, I heard people say LSAT is the kinda of test you need to be fully prepared and then take it. I don't want the real test to be a disaster...
