Just a quick addition. According to the MSS core curriculum, here answer choice (A) "will be utterly unsupported." JY writes on MSS questions: "That means there is only one correct answer choice and four very wrong answer choices."

Quick correction:

(If you want to conclude) /rf-cool, then = (either failing rf-heat or /region-high-sum-hum)

Should be:

/rf-cool (either failing rf-heat or region-high-sum-hum)

(If I have misread, my advanced apologies, but pretty sure this was a typo)

JY, this was an awesome explanation. Really well done, thank you!

Using nasal tubes "allows for comfortable breathing."

Curious to see how many stars this one becomes. 0/2 on both first try and blind review. Just could not solve this. Had I just came in and said "remember to be on the lookout for a chain-up" then I probably would have seen it. Instead, I froze!

Getting #3 wrong was akin to a long, tough look in the mirror.

Cheers, buddy! Yep, keep positive and keep grinding! It'll come, it just takes time.

Agree with above. You should build up your mental muscle memory, which helps with being able to handle the stress and fatigue over 4 sections. GL!

"So the Honey Bees are back." YEAH. Noticed that.

(Backstory: got crushed by a Honey Bees comparative on Jan LSAT. Good times.)

The LSAT writers offering us two suffiency-necessity confusion wrong answer choices tripped me out. Never seen that.

It would be awesome to hear an admissions consultant's view on this, or @, I would ask this question to law schools during Forums/zoom events.

This is only my intuition not based on fact, but it would seem rather extreme for a candidate to be rejected based on, in this case, an addendum explaining a 170-164 drop off. (Or perhaps the above-referenced Dean's opinion is indeed reflective of many others. I'm really not sure.) Great question, and congrats on that 170.

Some decent sinthy ambient music to go along with a pair of young cheetahs getting their first catch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXDPWxVhVRU

Consider the opposite scenario: imagine you didn't reveal to them the diverse experiences you've had throughout your life, and how you would use those to make the law school a more diverse, beneficial environment, just because they didn't explicitly ask. I believe both the school and you would be losing out by not seeing that information.

They should know that you're a well-rounded individual. Tell them.

(Of course, my advice comes "within reason" and depends on how the applicant defines a diverse experience).

(Obligatory PS: I'm just a 7Sager, not an admissions person).

Wow, I really thought I was getting a good deal all these years.

Another discrepancy with (A): the stimulus says "damaged the health of..." while (A) says "seriously damaged"

E just totally froze me lol. It's such an insignificant answer choice that it actually messes with my mind lol.

Not directly answering your Q, but wanted to say: keep studying for more months and that 160 will come.

I personally like seeing a "Blah blah Group 4 blah blah Group 3", because the two indicators just cancel themselves out. Your mind will begin to pick this up very fast.

"ThingA cannot/won't/is not blah blah without ThingB"

Therefore, Thing A -> Thing B

How about: "Without Thing A, Thing B cannot blah blah blah"

Not Thing A -> Not Thing B

Therefore Thing B -> Thing A

(If I made a mistake please lmk!)

It seems like (E) could have been perfected by rewriting as "Elderly Singapore residents of Indian ethnicity consume more turmeric in their curry than other elderly Singaporeans."

The assumption jump is a big point of contention, however, E remains the strongest answer for me since it's the only one that addresses Indian ethnicity and turmeric. (But they got me, I chose (C) originally)

"Let's capture thousands of fireflies" Lol.

For those interested in Miles' sudden change from what we would call more traditional jazz to the post-1965 period, it's really quite striking. Two years after Filles he made Bitches Brew, a very strange, neurotic, amazing record. It is now seen as one of jazz's greatest albums (at least according to Wikipedia). "Miles Runs the Voodoo Down" is a fav of mine from this album.

Of course, if you want the Pre-1960s essential Miles, you'll want to listen to "Kind of Blue," perhaps the greatest jazz record of all time.

While one wouldn't expect the LSAT writers to include this, Davis' eccentric style in the later 1960s was in-part influenced by, let us say, certain "lifestyle choices."

Put on the headphones/earbuds, jump in and listen ;)

The ol' 40-minuter. Yikes!

Manufacturers won't offer a warranty if it means they'd have to refund many people.

Wait, what? Why? What are you hiding?

Assumption: They're hiding the fact that the pans suck. They won't offer the warranty because too many people would ask for a refund and they'd be refunding everyone.

The brands that do offer the warranty are confident that their pans don't break. These brands might say, "Go ahead, ask for a refund if it breaks. We don't care. They hardly ever break."

Feeling kinda stupid here but I did not know people chose whether to see a generalist or specialist. When I read the stimulus I assumed they were randomly treated by whichever one was available or assigned to them. I'm not from US and this may have affected my bias. Or maybe I just don't know a lot about this topic lol.

Tough question. Wow. Nice explanation, JY.
