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.

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

You have to make some big leaps for B to be right

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.

Question 12 was really subtle

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.

WOW, this question took me a long time to process but now I think I finally get it. I was so confused about why "A" was right. How does the fact that the only surfaces customers encounter are carpet, wood, and tile help support the conclusion that "If cleaning uncarpeted floors → likely to be sufficient."?
Then I thought,"What if "A" wasn't true?"
Let's say customers encounter many more types of uncarpeted flooring than JUST wood or tile. Let's say they encounter stone, laminate, and vinyl flooring as well. Remember, due to our premises, we only know that the vacuum will work SPECIFICALLY on wood or tile. So if all those other types of flooring existed the salesperson's argument would be weakened.
Think of it like this if still confused.
P: Vacuum works on wood and tile
C: Vacuum works on uncarpeted floors.
Answer A: The only types of uncarpeted floors are wood and tile. You don't gotta worry about stone floors, vinyl floors or any other types of uncarpeted flooring. Just wood and tile.
The reason I got this question wrong and why it tripped me up so much was that I mistook the Premise for the conclusion.

I crossed off every answer because they all looked wrong. I still think that D is completely unjustified. When I interpret the phrase "read silently", to me that means reading something without making any noise. And in the stimulus it says Demosthenes is "continually expressing his amazement" which I envisioned him as making at least some noise. Maybe if I realized that one could express their amazement without making any noise, a silent expression, then I would've gotten the question right.

This question twisted me up good. The map really helped, I didn't make one during the exam and selected B

I wasn't sure if a trade agreement was the same as a piece of legislation and went with E

I eliminated D quickly because I saw that it was a study about reading and thought "Why would we care about reading? Reading is a completely different activity than exercising. D is therefore not relevant."
I went with C even though I eliminated it on my first read through because I thought out of all the AC's it kinda weakens the argument a little bit. The main conclusion of the argument is that watching video of yourself exercising can make you exercise more. And C says: "Well here's a group where that didn't happen." So I felt C weakened the argument, even if by the teeniest, tiniest bit. I didn't like C at all though. The argument says "CAN motivate to exercise more", which means that in order for it to be true they just need to find 1 person who became motivated in order to be correct. And C doesn't really weaken that.

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.
