I signed up for the Personal Statement workshop with 7Sage about two weeks ago and they had a list of prompts, to which I completed and had 8 pages worth of answers. I'm curious as to how I'm supposed to combine all the prompts into a condensed two-page statement, or if there are certain questions from that prompt sheet that I need to address and some that I can skip. I understand that the prompt asked about several different experiences, so I have one in particular that I'd like to focus on, but the questions about why law, what gaps there are in the legal world that I'd want to fix, etc (most of the law-related questions) I am not sure which one I can choose or skip.
Any help would be appreciated!
I just wanted to let you know if you didn't already that you will have to pay for a whole new LSAT if you are pushing it back. They allow you to request a test date change 7 days after the registration ended, which was about 2 weeks ago, so you'd have to pay $253 again.
I was in this boat for August (wanted to push it to September) but I figured I would take it instead of wasting my money.
@Mj8fiddy I love this explanation. This is such an interesting way to break down the questions and make them understandable and clearer. I also need to talk back to the authors like you do LOL I'm out here just accepting their statements as facts. I'm going to try to implement some of these strategies, hitting a dead wall right now in scoring. Well done!!
@Isabella-5-2 exactly, i took it to mean that they've exhausted all other options that this is why they needed to look to this idea of installing devices.
@VanillaCat lower because it's simple conditional diagramming. there are level 2 and level 3 questions w/ more complex diagramming than this
@RafaelGahan hmm that's interesting. I've tried asking AI for explanations on questions but it never answered a question correctly. I guess it depends on the model.
@lolowoo1 even if there weren't proctor apps, like how would you even cheat? it's not like it's a math test that you can just use a calculator. AI gets so many LSAT questions wrong when you ask it, so it doesn't know the logic behind questions. You can't just look into a prep book and be like, yup that question matches AC A. Like I am so confused how people cheat!
who wrote this question and why. i mean is there not a financial incentive to deliver the recycling center. whatever at least this was from the old test days.
Is anyone taking the LSAT in June in Chicago? If so, are you familiar with the proctoring location? Looks like it's in an office building. Does anyone have any experience testing there? Tried to look up more information, but did not really see much about the whole process in that specific building. Also, there were 3 different centers listed for Chicago in the same building at the same time... I just picked a random one that had my preferred date, but I don't know if one section is more preferred than the others. Let me know about your experiences!
@MichaelWright How often does this flaw come up on the test? There are so many flaws to learn and remember and it seems like a new one appears every drill.
Wait, now I'm confused. If Nighthawk isn't a part of the permanent collection, then if it were to be displayed, it would have to be on loan from a private collector. But I thought the museum stores do not sell prints of works on loan from private collectors, hence answer C being correct. So why would E be incorrect and the explanation being "it might be displayed, it might not be displayed, we don't know." If it's not in the permanent collection and the only other works displayed in the museum are loaned out, then why would the Nighthawk be displayed if it doesn't meet the two criteria?
i think what instantly made me eliminate D was "lap times" =/= "win more swim meets" but i'm no swimmer so i guess it only helped in this instance lol
i thought when you negate something, you can't do the opposite of the word, you have to do the contradiction of the word. so this was my diagramming:
material --> divisible
divisible -- > imperfect
material --> imperfect
--------------------------------------
spirit --> /material
if we were to take the contrapositive, we would negate both sides and flip them around the arrow. so
/imperfect --> /divisible
in english, i would say this as "if not imperfect, then not divisible."
yes not imperfect implies perfect but i thought we weren't supposed to do the opposite word. could you clear this up as to when we are allowed to use the opposite word instead of the negated word?
i graphed this one out to get the right answer. either i read the stimulus wrong but still got the right answer or i think the explanations need some re-working because bears did not diverge from raccoons as far as i can understand. they diverged from a common ancestor. this is how i graphed it.
ancestor

| 30-50 million years

bears raccoons

giant panda
so i don't see how giant panda and red panda could be related and how bears came from raccoons. that's why i think the explanation for AC D is incorrect.
