It says people with high homocysteine levels are twice as likely to be diagnosed for Alzheimer's. It then claims that indirectly reducing homocysteine levels with vitamin B can reduce the likelihood of Alzheimer's.
But if E is true, Alzheimers tends to be the cause of an increase in homocysteine levels. So, reducing homocysteine levels won't reduce the risk of Alzheimer's. It's possible that those who had that high homocysteine diagnosis already had alzheimer's and that's the reason their levels were high.
D talks about relatives and that was never mentioned in the stimulus. It has nothing to do with the relationship between homocysteine and alzheimer's.
My reach schools were Columbia/NYU
My target schools were Michigan/Berkeley/Duke/Austin
I'd apply Mid November.
I'm already registered for the December retake.
My softs are okay & work experience
My last 10 PT average was ~169 with two low 160's days before the test. I definitely suffered from nervousness as over half the questions I missed were in the first 10 of each section.
I'm leaning towards waiting another year to save on app money. I'd use that saved money to purchase the admissions package for PS writing.
I appreciate any advice or insight. Thank you.
I'll be there too because studying alone didn't work out for September :/
Thanks for your feedback. It was hard for me me to objectively evaluate my scores and your insight helped me to do so.
170,
I guess it's the series of 174's and then low 160's that has me questioning if stress, or a lack of understanding is the issue.
Had I never scored a 175 I would be totally content with a mid 160 score.
Fixed, I used the image address instead of the shareable link :/
Edit:
That's fine, although cell phone users made up the majority of my target demo.
Thanks for you input!
During the 60's I was scoring between 171 and 175 now I'm lucky to get 169. Just got a 164 on 75. :/ Probs brain tumor, or stress. IDK
@jhaldy10325 o I think 7Sage's responsibility was to saturate the site with notices and give people as much time as they could.
Yea, but they didn't even email people :/ . I still get random larry law emails but never got an email about the pdf's leaving. If you weren't going on the site, you were not aware.
It also happened during finals, a time many people pause their LSAT studying.
I got my pdf's in time but would have been bummed if I didn't because I paid for the course because of the PDF's. I would not have been able to afford the program + pdf's.
Don't purchase the Kindle version. I normally purchase kindle books with amazon credit and then convert them to PDF so I can more easily read across all devices.
The formatting of the kindle versions looked like walls of text. I don't own a kindle, but I was using the kindle app on my mac. I thought converting to pdf would fix the formatting, and it did not help.
I guess I'll need to purchase hard copies with hard cash.
If the schools you're planning to apply with only look at your best score, then I would do it. It could save you a bunch of time and stress.
Would you be okay working in the school's region? Most 16-20 have very good regional reach.
What research are you citing that supports your statement? I'm curious as to whether ~105 minutes of inactivity increases lactic acid significantly enough to affect your cognitive ability. Serious
@974 Studies have shown that higher levels of lactic acid in the body inhibit the performance of the frontal lobe
Seems like some flaw type LSAT question. Not serious, but kinda does.
Hmmm, I could join you on the Saturday BR. I don't know about the weekday BR, due to working full time. I'm in the late 30's PTs BTW
Yea it is, I've done it. Went from 150 to 167, and rising, from June - July. Doesn't mean you can or can't though. It just means someone could. IDK how much that helps.
You need to go through the curriculum, follow instructions, drill, and PT. Then you drill, look at another curriculum (Trainer), drill again, and PT. Then you repeat, rereading parts of the curriculum that correlate with your weak spots.
@jyang72422 No problem, I hope it helps reduce burnout while letting you study more. They have a video on here that explains the basics of the technique. http://pomodorotechnique.com/
@2543.hopkins I hope you're not taking the first part of my post seriously. I take it from jyang72's haha that he took it appropriately. The intent would probably have been better conveyed through a meme but no body gots time for that.
Your second assumption is correct. I recommended he use it for studying, and did not recommend he use it for PT.
The definition is here http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=gunner
Hmmm are people telling you to take a week off solely for the benefit of your health, or because they're secret gunners? I would take a couple days off, and get back to it when you feel it's organic.
Try studying using the Pomodoro method.

It helps avoid burnout. I changed the work intervals to 35 minutes, the short breaks to 7 minutes, and the long breaks are 21 minutes.
Well, I just checked my emails and I have waivers from a couple T14's. I may go for it now and update my apps with a December score. Would schools, who deny me with my first score, reconsider me with a December score?
