Wow...........!!!!!!!!!!

This is really way cool. Old school 1960's "Far Out......!!!", "Groovy.....!!!

Either sounds good to me. As the word gets around, you might have to do both times if you can.

This is my opinion. I am not an expert and I am battling my own study and study schedule issues, however, in my opinion quality study is better than quantity. Quantity is good because you get the practice, but this is a hard test.

You have to know and understand the concepts and be quick like in a New York minute doing it. Also, you have to be focused. It's alright to postpone the test if you are not ready.

Furthermore, in my opinion, analyze yourself. Know your strengths and weaknesses, what you know vs what you don't know or understand and need to learn. In addition, how long it takes for you to get it done under the pressure (distractions) and atmosphere of timed test taking conditions.

Remember, this is a hard test, but it is your priority and the rewards will be great. I hope this helps.

Thanks for asking the question. I'm in the same boat.

My undergraduate gpa was slightly below a 3.0. However, my graduate gpa was significantly above 3.0 and my degrees are in different fields.

I was advised by an admissions rep at my choice law school that I needed a 177 LSAT score. That stressed me out.....!!!!! This is not a top tier law school, but extremely competitive.

So, I'm thinking about choosing a different law school and doing my best on the LSAT.

My comment is that they may be old, but I would study and practice on anything I could get my hands on. The more the merrier.

Hey....., I'm in the same boat...!!!!

Thank you so...... very much. This really helps.

Thank you so much. This is helpful and I understand your point. However, .... this is my issue. Taking the above example.

If All swans are probably white, then every observed swan is white. Or,

If every observed swan is white, then all swans are probably white.

Also,

Therefore, since all swans are probably white, every observed swan is white.

So, since every observed swan is white, all swans are probably white.

Every observed swan is white because all swans are probably white.

So, all swans are probably white, because every observed swan is white.

Do you understand my confusion? And which one is correct?

Thank you.

Well....., I have some encouraging words too.

Someone told me you have to take baby steps. Some study is better than no study.

However, you must consider your goal and score on the test. In addition, I would say your background, strengths and weaknesses regarding your prep.

A one hour quality study session is better than 4 or 5 hours of not getting anything accomplished, brain drain and hang it up. However, if you are a serious student and are disciplined to handle that I would say go for it. To each his/her own.

I have distractions that cramps my style and mess up my game plan. I need encouragement too. This was helpful for me.

This is a hard test. The LSAT is no joke and no laughing matter. They make it hard for a reason.

I don't know if this helps. I still have issues with intermediate conclusions and this particular problem struck me below the belt when I first attempted it because I thought I was confident with conclusion question and I got it wrong. However, when I went back to study what I did wrong, I looked at it as a policy recommendation for sentence 1. Whereby, sentence 2 and 3 in my opinion are premises. Thereby, respectfully speaking, in my opinion, this whole LSAT test is confusing.

I'm not an expert at this, so if anybody wants to jump in and help, please do so. Moreover, thanks for asking the question. I'm a shy person and I usually hesitate asking questions.

This is a good question. It doesn't have any indicator words, neither the "should or ought" for policy recommendation. Moreover, the answer choices all look tempting.

Respectfully speaking, if it is not considered a policy recommendation, then I guess it is like a thesis statement. Thereby, bottom line for whatever it is worth, sentence 1 is the conclusion. However, now that I am able to find or determine the correct conclusion in the stimuli, it is selecting the correct answer choice that is striking me out. Wherefore, certain matters in the answer choices looked attractive.

In selecting the right answer choice for conclusion questions, you must consider one thing and that is the wrong answer choices and why they are wrong. The correct answer closely matches the conclusion and wrong answers can be premises or a mess and mixture of issues. Thereby, if you pick or determine the wrong sentence, phrase, clause or wording in the stimulus as the conclusion, you are at risk of selecting the wrong answer choice.

This exam is very technical. I was hooked on answer choice (E), which I finally understand now the reason why it is incorrect while writing this post.

The star of the show is the term "pit bull" and the phrase, clause or words tacked on to it in sentence 1 up to the comma. The rest of the sentence and everything thereafter, I would consider premises in support of that one little phrase or clause.

Then you have to go into the meat of the clause, first part of sentence 1, and with other questions, understand or determine what it is saying or referring to. Answer choice (E) through me a loop because it was talking about some breeds. It's not "some breeds", it's "pit bull. Which is answer choice (C)

Respectfully speaking, this is not a test to play jet plane on when you are first starting out. I hope this helps.

This is so..... wonderful. Thank you. A friend of mine graduated from Cornell. I hear it is a great school.

You all are so wonderful. This is helpful to me too. Thanks.

Hey...., I'm doing it now......

This is a hard test........................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is nice. Thank you for the comments and the post.

A dear friend of mine died. It was really sad. I had to take a few days off (short break) to mourn and grieve the loss.

His death really made me refocus because I'm sure doing well on the LSAT is something that he would want me to achieve.

Thanks again for this post.

The study guide didn't give a preptest number. The solutions state it to be a descriptive tone or attitude of the author"Ivory Tower Theory". I looked up the term and found it to be a metaphor.

I have issues with humanities passages especially the tone and attitude questions.

This whole test seems like a lot of information or TMI, too much information to know, learn and study, the flaws, conditionals, and hidden literary devices. OMG

Thanks for the encouragement.

Suggestions welcome.

Thank you. I greatly appreciate your comment.

I would say study as much as you can, whenever you can.

Thank you so much. I greatly appreciate your help. This is a hard test.

Thank you so much. I greatly appreciate your help.

It's the June 2007, S2.Q10.

September 4th, that's my birthday. What a great day this is going to be.

Thanks......!!!!!

I was told that LSAC uses a different test for people who receive accommodations and that the test is much harder for the basic reason of having more time. I was debating whether to request accommodations and how the law schools admissions view people who take the test with accommodations.

Sometimes I feel like I just want to take it, get it over with and mark whatever. However, I need a good score and to do my best.

Dear Victoria:

I.... don't know about the 8-12 hours of studying per day. Personally, I've heard that people get burned out studying that long. I would at least recommend 4 to 5 hours daily. However, it is an extremely hard test and one should study as much as possible.

7Sage is great and highly ranked as one of the best for LSAT prep. This Discussion Forum is a wonderful support network.

If this is something that you really want, don't give up. The LSAT is a process. You have to take it one step at a time and master the skills. Once you achieve that goal, then it is like a walk in the park.

Happy Studying..................... !!!!!!!

Please send me the youtube link too. I've been ill these past few days and just getting into studying.

Hey, count me in.

Thanks for the Comment Post. You are not alone. I must join you on that.

I took a moment to watch a movie and listened to a few cartoons for laughter. But we have to think about our goal.

Don't beat up on yourself. Take a break, regroup and move on. If you have to redo, then repeat. Like the Michael Jackson song says, "Don't stop till you get enough..." (LSAT).
