🙃 Confused

Advice on this upcoming application cycle

General Info-

Age: 20 about to turn 21

Lsat PT scores: 152

GPA: 3.5

Internship/volunteer work: 4

Full time job for over 3-4 years.

Making this post is kind of a difficult but I don't know where else to turn to since it feels like reddit thread users are annoyed when asking for advice and no one I know really went to law school. I graduated with my Bachelors pretty early (finished in 2.5 years). I never actually dedicated any time on doing LSAT prep during that time because of work, internships, and what not. After graduating this spring I honestly thought that I would have enough time to maybe bring up my score but it looks like it's going to probably take more time than what I had wished for initially.

I'm not sure if it's even relevant but I am also 20 years old and the few friends and family members who have gone to grad school are telling me to take it slow as it may be hard on my head.

My practice tests keep telling me that I'm getting a 152 score and it feels like I'm just sort of stuck right now. I have probably pushed my test so far back that it looks like my best chance is probably doing the test on November, but then I keep calculating that it's a far reach to apply in December.

I guess what I need advice on is whether I should just wait on applying or still go for it? I don't even want to go to a big law school, I genuinely just want to go to a law school and have wanted to be an attorney ever since I was a kid.

The other consideration is how the schools I want to apply to have really high applications and law schools are becoming way more competitive than before.

What do you guys think? Should I spend money on these applications with my score being this low?

Since I have the internet on my side and its practice, I searched up repudiate and I still chose the wrong answer lol.

I really had to put 2 and 2 together here but then it clicked after I thought about it a bit more.

@karlee448 The way he explained it was a little bit more complicated in my opinion. Basically the stim counterargument is just describing different parts but it doesn't necessarily guarantee on how each part will make it so that the whole part will make it likely to be safe. I'm not sure if that helps but just stick to simplicity of part vs whole flaw.

@Hanifa I am trying to think of them as siblings but not a subtype of PSA. Like he said, rules and principles could be synonymous, but they're not the same. They can sort of overlap with each other on bringing illustrations but each do their own objective.

@Arsham_Shafie Yes and No, if you genuinely find it that you can't process the information then just skip. If you've honed your reading skills and intuition, then just do it. The level of this question being higher gives you a better chance for a higher score.

I understood this question as being a cost/benefit rather than analogy question. I had to retake it so that I understand what was going on and understand that this is comparing the two but mentions costs/benefits as a way to trop.

I was so upset at myself because I spent so much time trying to weaken and it just made it more difficult.

There's a typo in explanation of "E". Paragraph 1 on the 3rd sentence, there's a typo of quoting "weed-killers" but instead the explanation has "week-killers."

I ignored the 2nd premise and fixated on the rest. I knew in my head that the relationships were strongly supporting the conclusion but for some reason, I kept wanting to explain it.

@quietcoyote He wants us to eventually train at looking at the answers and either use Hunting mode or POE. I'm using POE cuz I always used Hunting mode but that mode is when you've been trained with POE so much that your intuition just is so sharpened that you just sort of know. I think the best thing to remember is that we're still training and thats the best takeaway.

I think I did the reading of stimulus right but because the first video I had watched made it sound (it didn't say this) like comparative statements are less likely to be true, I ended up just ignoring A and went for B and D. Which are still comparative but not from what the question is asking. I think I also made the mistake of reading the stimulus and doing a POE from which answer choice I'm presented with will most likely be true.

I wanted to comment on something that I don't think the video touched on so much but they've already talked about it a lot. A lot of comparison claims will end up talking about different sets and subsets which will ultimately avoid for us to make the correct assumptions on our answer choices because we're not talking about the same set anymore.

I need to review sufficient and necessary foundations. I confused these two and didn't read indicators correctly

The spectrum of support is really sticking in my head and it's really clicking for POE for answers which lowers my time and higher percentage on the drills

I can confirm that sometimes taking a lot of LSAT PT can result in a low LSAT score.
