I don't have any direct experience obviously, but I just got an email from him and he says in the email that he "responds to every email."
I got the same email and responded something and clearly he did not reply back thats why I wondered....
My concern is that it seems that he is not very response to emails....
I read a post last year about one student who scored in 150s and successfully transferred to CCN. I did not bookmark the post (s/he said something about the new school that does not have transfer stigma and etc).
In the post, s/he mentioned that s/he did something intensive preparation before law school and talked about a few books and supplements s/he used.
I know people are against intensive preparation before law school. But I am an international student (did BA/MA in the U.S. though) and nervous about law school.
I have a not-very-demanding-tutor job and want to read some books besides GTM or Planet LS.
Anyone who happens to remember the post?
Definitely avoid Pace; I took it in 2015 and there were construction going on above us; the administration told us that they can do nothing about it and the construction needs be finished that day;
I read another poster in reddit last September that the protocols ate chips while testing....

I don't know whether I will retake in March (depending on Jan score); but good luck with your final take, Lucas! You have been an enormous help in/on this forum!!
Thank you sooo much! Good luck with your January score!!
thank you!

I do; I tend to second guess myself in LR after first round usually change from right to wrong; now unless I have preponderant evidence that my initial choice is wrong, I switch;
powerscore did a prediction for the test; I did not watch all of it (I am taking it in HK); their prediction is that it will most likely be a new test and has usual LG (no weird games)

Is your blind review process the exact same as 7Sage’s? Just wondering
I would say definitely trust the process; I BRed every single passage (1-85+A,B+ 97); the more you do, the more likely you will develop instinct; people say RC gets more difficult, honestly I feel 80s RC are much easier than late 70s and answer choices are easier to spot
I am disappointed that my RC performance does not translate to my LR

I do! I circle questions about which I am not sure and spend time justifying my reasoning when I BR. I usually got those questions right and many of my misses come from earlier 1-15 while getting latter correct, which really frustrates me
My LR performance fluctuates a bit; I did way better in PT 84 (my brain was on fire and was able to glance through answer choices and knew which were correct); I think PT 85 has less cookie cutters so I was slowed down
Did PT85 before my last take on Sunday
missed 1 on RC; 0 on LG; 13 combined in LR; no LR love for me even though I did every single PT and BRed them except 86 (guess my brain is not wired for this)
well gonna BR this test and do LR sections from 86
good luck to everyone who is taking the Jan test!
I chose E in my both attempts; E is not discussed in A because A talks about the impact of intellectual property on creative output
@akikookmt881 thank you for the podcast! I finally discovered another one whose first around is around 30 min for LR; I wonder whether you consider every single answer choice for LR during your first round?

Yeah it's a bit of an inference since they're saying you ought to do it because it is better. I think it'll start being more obvious what is being inferred but isn't written later in your studies.
thank you!

I think in this case it might be most helpful to ignore the middle part about "although some drinkers would prefer to....or in some other manner."
The only premise, as you mentioned, is "it is better if C happens." In this case you can infer that the conclusion is pretty much saying it is better to do C. Thus, the way to actually read it is conclusion=it is better to do C because premise=it is better if C happens. Let me know if it looks more like circular reasoning now.
thank you! now it looks like circular reasoning; I think there is a small assumption made here? (better =ought to) or am I being too mechanical?
I could not figure out why this is a circular reasoning...or my understanding of CR is too mechanical?
the conclusion is "....ought to do C..."
the only premise is "it is better if C happens"
the flaw I thought was the switch from the descriptive language to the prescriptive one

Ha same. I’ll keep you posted for when he replies. To be fair it’s been less than 24 hrs at this point.
I think I am gonna buy it anyway. @suznannthomp484 @roystanator440 and steve schwarz raved about his program. I wanted to learn something before the school starts....
