@seanpankhurst170715 So, any educated guessed on when we should expect results? December or January? What has LSAC been doing lately?
LSAC's educated guess is Jan. 4
In the other single-post thread @7sagestudentservices said,
RC:
-Great Migration of African Americans from North to South
Wrong direction.
@7sagestudentservices -18th-Century Church Organ
-Iguanas on an Island
I definitely had those, and I had only two LR sections; I had two RC sections.
I can't think of any reason to arrive early except to allow for transportation contingencies such as traffic. I might "hang around" in my car.
Why do you think phones, mechanical pencils, digital watches, etc. are not allowed? Because LSAC is afraid of miniature cameras for recording test questions or answers. I would be astounded if they administered the same test days later.
LSAC specifies #2 or HB pencils. While they shouldn't care other than for the bubbles, and perhaps for the writing sample, they strike me as people who try to find picayune things to care about.
@steve898 For the "last five question" results, why aren't the sample sizes a multiple of 5?
For what it's worth: PT 58 through what was current when the original post was made, PT 77, is 21 PTs --- 20 numbered ones plus the C2. The "last five question" sample sizes are 126 for each section, which is 21 times 6.
P.S. For questions like this, a link to the original source video and/or lesson that generated it is a great convenience.
I notice that in the first sentence of the blockquote there's an "and", implying that all hunting dinosaurs can do all three kinds of locomotion. But in the second sentence, there's an "or", implying that there may be dinosaurs that can do only one or two kinds.
@beltra13715 Anyone know if it matters if it is in black/white or color?
I don't know. I reason that it doesn't matter, because requiring color would be an unreasonable requirement. After all, they do advise (re-)downloading the ticket the day before the test to assure its location information is up to date. Requiring everyone to use a color printer in that time frame would be unreasonable.
@jhaldy10325 Yeah, if you bring that in already filled out, they won't admit you, so make sure you've got an unmarked admit form!
Huh? With what already filled out? The question is about the blanks with "PRINT NAME" and "DATE" on either side of the bottom of the ticket page:
Notice that it's an editable PDF, which is why in the image the PRINT NAME blank has a blue field above it which can have a flashing text entry cursor (the cursor appears in the DATE field in the image, and it can also be blue). Also notice that the form says, "*Do not sign this ticket prior to the test. You will be instructed when to sign your ticket on the day of the test. [emphasis added]"
My answers to the original questions are: as to pre-fill at home or pen at the center, whichever you choose; and I'm not bringing page 2 of the ticket.
I'm looking at Q15 and I don't understand what you are asking. I'm afraid that I'm unfamiliar with the "no cause X no effect Y" principle nor how it might strengthen, so I'd need a link or other pointer on that in order to answer directly.
However, I see that the stimulus says, in my paraphrase, that cause X produces more deaths than all other causes combined, and therefore if all X were prevented, deaths would decrease by half.
If you're OK with that argument, suppose I further told you that the sample that produced the statistic included only people who were hospitalized for terminal conditions and predicted to die from their condition within 10 days; still OK with the argument?
Often looking smart about something, as I may appear to above, is a result of earlier feeling quite stupid about it.
For the "last five question" results, why aren't the sample sizes a multiple of 5?
If (E) is correct, then T left the 1st and 6th message. Then we have four slots, 2 through 5, to fill. But at most one person, T in this case, can leave more than one message. In other words, if T leaves two, then we need at least four persons remaining from among F,G,H,L,P. If T leaves the first, then we cannot have F, because of rule 5: F—>(P & P—T). But if we don't have F, then we also don't have G, per rule 4's contrapositive. That leaves us with at most H,L,P to fill the four slots with no duplicates allowed, so (E) cannot be correct.
We're looking for an assumption required by the analogy. (B) has nothing to do with analogy. (C) includes the closely-related word "analog" in its explication of the relation between the two things being analogized.
A contains "your muscles", "you lift", "your maximum weight", etc.
B contains "now scientists think they know."
The quotes from A are not compatible with answer (B). All the quotes are compatible with (D).

said:
So if your average score of past 3-5 correctly timed stimulated practice test is not within plus or minus 5 of your ideal score.
I suppose this is meant to be something like, if your average score is more than 5 below your ideal score, withdraw. In other words, if the average is higher than ideal-5, there is not a reason to withdraw.
More seriously: how does one select an "ideal" score? How does one gauge how much improvement is possible from one's current state? How can one be confident that one will be more "ready" at some future date?
@rahelaalam514, your reply reminded me of this note by LSAC that I'd seen before:
LSAC is conducting
research involving LSAT
delivery options for the
future. We are studying
the feasibility of a tablet-
based LSAT administration
system, which will likely be
field-tested sometime in
2015. No decision has
been made regarding
future implementation of
such a system. In the 1990s,
LSAC began researching
the potential for electronic
delivery of the test, and
this is a continuation of
those efforts.
They began researching this more than 16 years ago!
But @jhaldy10325, overcoming the LSAT qua obstacle costs each applicant at least dozens if not hundreds of hours, does it not? That's a tremendous drain on the legal education economy.
I know I've done #1 in @orourkemikej840's list, PT 36 G3 -- six passengers on a bus -- but I don't have it in an LSAC book nor can I find it on this site, not even as a silent video. Does anyone have an idea as to where I might have seen it?
In another thread, about Logical Games, which I didn't want to hijack:
@BinghamtonDave This is a set that doesn't allow an ounce of hesitation or misreading.
Because this is a skill that's absolutely required for success in law school.
Right? ... Right?
And to anyone, including the LSAC, who says, "Maybe not specifically, but LSAT scores correlate well with success in law school," my response is that you do not understand the distinction between necessary and sufficient conditions.
And somewhat separately, but still within this discussion's title: it's 2016 and not only are we taking multiple choice exams on paper, we're writing essays in pencil?! Is meekly accepting being treated like a child -- or a criminal -- a criterion for success in law school?
OK, just for you guys, @jclaridge202 and @jhaldy10325 I paid a fortune to Amazon to get hold of PT9. Before looking at the video for S3 G3 I did basically the same thing that JY did, although I used his "compact" 3x3 board and I didn't split; I just did a 3x3 next to each question. Are you saying what JY did is a chart? If so, then indeed, let's use a chart on this one! I'm thinking that a defining feature of a chart is that it can have cells that are crossed out (JY's practice is to use a squiggle) to indicate that they cannot contain anything; no? If not, what's the defining feature of a chart?
Sorry if being already registered for Feb. is implicit in the question, but it's now too late to register for it.
