I myself was coming to the same conclusion. My workaround is this: I'll continue to do it the older way, on actual printed questions, until I feel much stronger on the material and the CC. Then, once I have done a better job of internalizing everything - then I will do just as you said. Blank sheet of paper along with the tablet

I'm looking up to you and at you, so congratulations. Now don't stop. Try to get them under time.

I don't know for sure, but if you're going to take it again, then I wouldn't write any addendum yet. What if you say you're a terrible standardized test taker, and then your second score goes up by 15-20 pts? Then that would just say you were unprepared for your first attempt.

"THANK GOD for the LSAT - the greatest equalizer available to students attempting to go to law school."

Equalizer. Yeah. That's what I've thought all along, but...

A few months ago I picked up one of the many privileged prep school kids in DC (Uber partner) and was telling him I'm studying for the LSAT. He said, yeah, he's thinking about it, and particularly because he'll get extra time.

I'm like "what?"

He's like "Oh yeah, I've got ADHD and I got extra time on the SAT, so I'm sure I'll get extra time on the LSAT too."

I didn't push the issue, but I remember thinking no way, not the LSAT, not this thing I'm busting my ass for.

I also remember another passenger telling me that "all" the prep school kids "have ADHD" or OCD or something, and they "all" get special dispensations on the SAT etc, and are "all" taking Adderol.

So last night I confirmed it all - Yes, the LSAC makes special dispensations for these "handicapped" elite kids who are going to be my competition for law school. (And yes, if you got special dispensation for another "standardized" test you'll get it for the LSAT too.)

These MAY include

more time, sometimes 50% more time

Longer breaks

"clock stopping breaks"

Ability to eat while taking the test

Get to be alone in a room

and others....

Wow. It makes sense that the idea is being put out there that "time is overrated" etc.

Am I the only one who finds it offensive and unfair that law students are not all taking the same test under the same conditions?

Are these people - as attorneys - going to get extra time on filing deadlines? As law students, are they going to get extra time to finish their assignments?

If yes - then that's wacky, but OK

If no - then it sounds like a way to discriminate against excellence and hard work, with no good results likely. In theory, it might make some people feel good, but in practice, it's just another way to sidestep the cornerstone of the LSAT, which is that we don't care who your parents are, and we don't care how rich you are, or who you had to con to get into whatever school before - but this is a pure meritocracy - and you are going to be weighed and measured

THE SAME AS EVERYBODY ELSE.

Well, so much for that. I'm very disappointed

The Judge's Opinions one was real. Astronomy is experimental.

I had 2 RC. One had a passage about astronomy and the other had a passage about judges' opinions. Anyone who can shed light on which was real would be very appreciated.

How do we know which was experimental again?

I think we have to continue the process until we are losing very little when we wait several days. We continue to do logic games until we find the inferences quickly, even in new games. I know I'm not there yet, but I haven't hammered it hard enough long enough.

This foolproofing takes time and persistence

" an outcome will ensure that outcome."

That sounds like sufficient assumption talk. If something is sufficient, then it ensures that the outcome will happen

I think it's a terrible needless decision to force people to write on an entirely separate piece of paper instead of right next to the questions. Yeah, I get it, everything is going digital, but this was a mindless decision. Going digital purely for the sake of going digital. Can't even write on the tablet? Can't diagram next to the question? That sucks.
