Question is the title. Basically, how big of an advantage is being in the military when applying to law school? Is it viewed favorably? Currently on active duty in the US Army.

I think for me the only issue was sticking to the stimulus. Taking my own real world knowledge and injecting it into this question makes answer choice A make no sense at all. But if you stick to the stimulus, A is the clear answer.
Passage isn't bad the questions are absolutely brutal.
Wow..... Thought I aced this passage and got -4....... Back to the drawing board.
I'd say shoot your shot but temper your expectations.
It would not look bad at all. Law schools only care about your top score. This applies to all schools in the T-14 as well. If you think you can score a few points higher, go for it.
Thank you so much for the feedback. What you said about mapping out conditional logic was very helpful because I do occasionally do that and it slows me down considerably. I will certainly incorporate these techniques going forward.
My diagnostic was a 139 back in May of 2021. Currently scoring in the high 150s with a goal of 170 on the June LSAT. Currently -8ish on LR, -6ish on RC and anywhere from -1 to -5 on LG. Currently I'm doing 1 LG section per night with either an LR/RC in addition. I also do 1 PT per week. Tips on best way to improve?
My LSAT journey is just about complete. I've been studying for this test since May of 2021 and I'm nearly at the end. Pending a higher score on the September LSAT, I'll be applying this fall with a 168 which I received on the August 2022 LSAT. I could not have gotten this score without 7Sage and I just wanted to take a moment to thank J.Y. and the entire team at 7Sage for putting together an absolutely phenomenal product for the public. I really don't know what I would've done without the hundreds of in-depth question breakdowns by J.Y. (or his sense of humor to keep things light). For those of you still studying, keep pushing forward. Use every wrong answer as a learning opportunity and don't let this test break your spirit. If anyone needs anything or specifics on how I studied, feel free to reach out.
I honestly thought this RC section was one of the hardest of any LSAT. I got destroyed.
For 14, I interpreted the word "profitable" as "increasing respectability." What is wrong with this interpretation? It seems reasonable to me and if that was the interpretation, I think C would be right.

Yes, it is allowed. Past test takers who have been taking the LSAT online have been using this feature with no issue.
Start from the beginning of 7Sage's Core Curriculum and go from there. You'll see plenty of improvement but it won't happen overnight. J.Y. is an absolute genius and really does a great job at making the LSAT easier to understand. Once you're through the entire core curriculum, it just takes repetitions.

Hi! Are you willing to share what your study schedule was like/whether you have any specific tips?
Hey there! Sorry for the late response. I started studying in May of 2021. I studied every night (using the LSAT Trainer) for one hour per night. Once I had finished all of the curriculum in that book, I started with 7Sage in August of 2021. I increased my study time to about 3-4 hours per night and kept the same routine for about a year until August of 2022. I took a PT every Saturday and during the week I would take 2 sections per night. I also hired a tutor through 7Sage for the last couple months which was helpful but not necessary in my opinion. I hope this is helpful!
It's really up to you. I've never done it that way and have been fine on comparative passages. I usually am either perfect or miss 1 question on comparative passages. I would say try out his strategy and see if it is right for you. If not, just read both together and then dive into the questions. Best of luck!
Also note that if G is not assigned to b2, F is not assigned to b2. The same goes for W and V.
You got it! Good job.
I think my trouble with this question was realizing that the necessary condition was even met. Am I supposed to assume that converting from paper to online is the only other cost to be aware of? What if there are some other costs.

Splitters are generally defined as being below the 25th on GPA but above the 75th on LSAT. Your GPA is below the 50th percentile but not by much. I wouldn't say you absolutely need a 170 (their 75th LSAT score) to be competitive at UT, especially if you aren't KJD.
So I've been noticing a trend lately where my RC score has been varying widely. Sometimes I'll score -4 and then the next day I'll score -10. Does anyone have any tips on how to fix this problem and become more consistent on RC?
My advice would be to hold off on the PTs until you've completed a majority of the CC. You've only been studying for a month and your PTs will improve with time. You can't become an expert at the LSAT overnight. It took me nearly a year to reach 170. Not saying it will be the same for you but these things take time.
How do I get this question right no problem but screw up a level 1 question in both timed and BR?..........
I have conditions that I know others have used to get accommodations. I just was wondering how widespread the use was. That's all.

I read "palatable" as "potable" and chose A. Goddamit.
The number of PTs you do per week isn't relevant. What is relevant is how intense your review is for each PT you take. I'd rather take 1 PT per week with a significant amount of time allocated for review (why did you get the question wrong? what did you miss in the stimulus or passage? why is the wrong question wrong? why is the right question right?) than take 3 PTs a week and just half ass the review. If you're studying full time I'd probably say 1 or maybe 2 PTs per week with a really good review each time. The other time can be dedicated to individual sections, drilling, etc. Just my two cents.
Another reason that A is wrong is that it relies on an assumption in order to be correct. Specifically, you're assuming that the judicial body is somehow going to make the therapist not adhere to "patient-client confidentiality." Maybe the judicial body just assigns therapists and then is totally hands off. Wouldn't weaken at all.

Can't we eliminate D and E because they both say "mainstream theories?"
Can we also eliminate B because it talks about "health benefits" whereas the stimulus specifically talks about the immune system? For example maybe coffee makes you stronger. That wouldn't be necessary for the argument.
