Self-study
Would anybody be able to put me in touch with someone who went to UCI Law? I am applying there and would like to ask them some questions about their experience.

Taking the exam this Saturday, feeling good about my ability, I have taken so many practice tests that I don't think anything will surprise me.

For the record, as Law Students we are all going to need to read Hart

The reason is that it's so prone to individual interpretation. An LSAT question should not be THIS subjective. When I read it I almost laughed, I was like "Are they serious right now?" you could honestly contrive any answer to be correct. Most LSAT questions have clear right and wrong answers, sometimes there is a little subjectivity. But this question went too far in my opinion.

Question 14 has to be the dumbest LSAT question I've ever read.

The LSAT played me like a fiddle on this one. When I resolved the discrepancy in my head I thought something like: "Better health technology leads to a larger population which leads to infections being more easily spread."
So when I got to AC D I was like "Yeah, this is exactly it."
I don't even think I read AC E.

I totally missed that Mr. Kessler could have books out on loan that are not a part of the set of the three overdue books. I done got tricked.

This question felt easy in blind review but during my practice test I got a little lost

I got spanked by this question, but now I know to look for an answer choice that connects all the parts of a causal chain

I totally missed the first part of the argument involves different variables than the second part

Lol I don't know if you want my tips since I got this question wrong. I agree, the word "eventually" rules out D, I just couldn't bring myself to pick B.

After reading the comments, I feel justified in my saltiness to this question. Will have to get over myself though.

The argument does not have to assume that water consumption is happening equally.
You actually have to make some big assumptions for B to be right. First, that "varies significantly" means that water availability varies from inadequate to adequate, rather than adequate to more than adequate. Maybe everyone has enough water, it's just some regions have wayyy more than they need.
Two, you have to assume that we won't be able to transfer water from one region to the other at a level where we can avoid water shortages.
B is just bad.

I shat the bed on this passage (got four wrong) and then did perfect on the other three. The LSAT training life is weird.

I agree with other people that AC B is wack. AC B says that these ancient people used some plants in ways that no other people did at that time.
Alright, let's test that AC against the two possible worlds:
1. If the plants are cultivated, then yes, I would agree. The stimulus says that if the plants are cultivated, then these people would be the first to discover agriculture. That supports the idea that these people are using plants in a unique way.
2. On the other hand, if the plants are wild, I do not see how we can say that they used plants in a unique way. Another commenter said, if some people in the east ate plants 1, 2, and 3, and some people in the west ate plants A, B, and C, then a culture that eats plants 123ABC still doesn't do anything new with them. It just means they eat a wider variety of plants. If I go around the world and eat every food there is, then of course I have a wider variety diet than everyone else, but it is not supported that I am doing anything unique with the food.
On that reasoning, AC B is not really supported. I guess you could argue that it is the MSS, but it still feels like BS to me.

Elimination helped me out with this one. Deleted the ones about the virtuosity or praise of commitments. That took out 3 of them. Then A is just wrong and was left with E

Was torn between D and C, went with C because it did MORE to resolve the discrepancy. But normally in these questions there are four answer choices that do nothing to help resolve the discrepancy and one that clearly does. The fact that there were two choices that both resolved it somewhat was tricky.

Oh my goodness I totally read this question wrong. I thought the stimulus was saying that the soil industry was depleting the RAINFORESTS. But I was so confused because I also thought it was saying that sphagnum moss produces a lot of oxygen, and that dried peat moss is basically equivalent to sphagnum moss. I did not know it was saying that the soil industry was destroying sphagnum areas. Now that I know what the stimulus is saying the question is easy.

Well that's the thing because when I read "Demosthenes continually expressed his excitement" I interpreted that as him making some noises while he was reading. To me "reading silently" means that your entire body is silent while you are reading. Not just that you are reading the words in your head. So if I was tapping my foot while reading a book I would not be reading silently.

Have you considered reaching out to a UCI student ambassador?
Ambassadors usually provide some decent perspective but can be a little biased depending on who you talk to.
Yes, I've emailed the ambassadors as well. Just casting as wide a net as possible.
