@ my gpa was around a 2.3-2.4, so a 165+ would be, I would say minimum, to get a semi-competitive application for the upper echelon of schools. :/

Thank you for your help @ that's definitely going to help me make some major life choices this weekend haha...and I mean in terms of LSAT :P

In mission viejo/irvine too

Thank you I'll definitely get on this right away!!

Meditation will significantly help you

Is this just a coincidence that I noticed or is this a possible method LSAT test makers utilize: The major conclusion relates family business to family prosperity, and in all of the answer choices, only answers C and D include anything about family in them. So I was able to get rid of A, B and E immediately. Now looking at D, it talks about willing to work because they believe something, and like you said we don't care what they're willing to do or what they believe. Therefore, that leaves answer choice C as the correct answer. Now again was this just a coincidence or could this be something to continuously look for when you maybe get stuck or don't have much time left?

Actually, I may have figured it out haha. I see it as the conclusion is saying that the correlation between the powers gained from playing chess and achievement in other areas of intellectual activity in fact implies that playing chess caused these achievements. And C wrecks that by saying that in fact, having intellectual achievement (ie high gpa) was required for joining the chess team. Am I correct on this? Any comments would be appreciated.

Hahahaha "people don't just stop drinking...that's impossible"

LSAT is definitely anti-prohibition
