Anyone taking LSAT at Brookdale Community College, NJ?

There are two archetypes for answer choices: one that starts with something along the lines of "presume", "assume", or "takes for granted"; another that starts with something along the lines of "ignores", "overlooks", or "fails to take into account".

Most of us can do these questions based on intuition, especially if we use the method that JY taught us. I still visualize the goku doing his kamehameha blast on the car. But for some of the harder, more abstract questions, for me, it helps to realize what these two answer choice stems are saying.

Hope this helps, cheers =)

Hi everyone!!

If anyone is interested in looking over my first (very) rough draft, I would be so thankful!

If you are, just PM me!

Thanks!

I am looking for someone who would love to BR with me over Zoom (aiming to do November LSAT-Flex). If you are interested please message or email me at dcain19@jcu.edu.

Hi All,

The last sentence of the paragraph 2 reads: '...they argue that as the quality of black schools improved relative to that of white schools....'

J.Y. explains that from this, we cannot infer whether the quality of white schools remained the same, improved, and decreased. I understand this, but am wondering what the different interpretations of the sentence would be in the 3 scenarios.

What I think (assigning numbers as indicators of 'quality'):

Say the white schools originally were 10, black schools 5.

(1) In the case that white schools improved to 15, the net increase in quality for them would be 5. Therefore, whatever increase in quality of the black schools would have to be greater than +5, whether it be 11 or 12 (must be at minimum 11)

(2) In the case that white schools remained the same, then black schools can increase in any amount (but given the context of the passage, unlikely that it would supersede that of the white schools' original, 10)

(3) In the case that white schools decreased, say to 8 (so -2), black schools can increase in any amount, say 1, because that is still a greater than a -2.

Before J.Y.'s explanation, what I thought (1) would be meant if white schools improved to 15 (+5), black schools would also increase by +5 to 10. If this were the case, would the sentence have read: '...they argue that as the quality of black schools improved in parallel to that of white schools....'?

Please let me know what you think!

Hi, friends. I had a lot of trouble understanding the clay tablets passage in PT 74 and I'm wondering if anyone can think of or dig up any similar passages. It seems straight-up descriptive to me, like a history lesson, rather than posing a position or a hypothesis or theory. It only helps so much to reflect on this one example. Anyone?

Had trouble with this question and saw a lot of students also pick the wrong answer I chose. Since there's no explanation video thought Id give it a shot at explaining for future students.

So the thing to keep an eye on within the stimulus is the fact it tell us that what decreased was the (number of bass caught by anglers!) meaning not the number of bass. Now that we know this we attack the answers and look and eliminate all the answers that might explain why the (number of bass caught by anglers!) decreased.

A. Well l if the waste is attracting the bass predators then there's sequentially less bass and less caught by anglers

B. If the water is colder and the bass are leaving then that explains why they are catching less bass

*C. Doesn't say anything about bass just says more anglers are showing up, if more anglers are showing up then the (number of bass caught by anglers) should actually increase not decrease.

D. Tricky- This actually is a valid reason though, if there is less anglers in the river then that explains why the number of bass caught by anglers decreased.

E. Well if the vegetation the bass feed on was destroyed they probably left and thus it can explain why the number of bass caught by anglers decreased.

Dear friends,

I just missed your group study on Jan 8th. Here is one question I don't know why C is the best answer to Q13.

As the two sentences are responses from Bordwell in proving musicals still fit into his theory, he mentioned that first musicals are derived from live theater, second, a structure from other genre makes viewers prepare for and thus accept them realistic. The author then attack him that "pigeonholing genres" is not necessary for viewers in watching films. So that is choice C is another way saying that "pigeonholing genres" is unnecessary? Thank you for helping me out.

I'm moving to Glendale in 2 weeks and would really like to find some friends to Blind Review LR sections with! I'm testing high 150's/low 160s and realllyyyyyy want that 165 by July. Message me/comment if interested! :)

I thought that RC is very similar to LR.

So I was just wondering why in the syllabus LG is in between LR and RC

Taking all suggestions before the January LSAT!

Hey everyone,

I started studying around 2 months ago after my first failed attempt in 2018 (diagnostic in the low 140s) and I'm currently scoring in the mid 150s (154-157) and my BR has ranged from 165-170. My accuracy is decent in LR and LG (often missing around 4-5 questions due to just lack of time)- however my performance in RC is highly responsible for my low score.

I've tried doing sections untimed to improve my comprehension (which lands me at around -4 or -5) however that takes me around 12+ minutes just to read and answer questions per passage. I've only recently joined 7Sage (previously used Manhattan prep's method for RC) and in an effort to avoid confusing myself with too many strategies I've avoided the whole memory method and low-res summaries.

Anyone know where I can go from here? Timing is a huge issue!! Looking to take the oct-nov lsat (preferably in the 162ish range) but I'm open to pushing it off until January as well.

Thanks so much in advance ☺️

Any recommendations?

Great 3 min clip to think about your day!

Hello, is there anyone here who is applying to University of Melbourne's JD program for the 2020 intake/ currently enrolled there ? I was wondering if I could hear about your experience!

Hi there, looking to take the LSAT in Oct. Is anyone in the San Francisco/Bay Area that would like to study together? Looking to meet at least once a week in person, but start a group chat to talk async as well. Thanks!

Hi Guys, I am currently looking for a study partner in the MIAMI area, please let me know if any of you live in the area and would like to study, exchange notes, or grab a coffee.

If you're feeling nervous or stressed (or both) before the exam this Saturday, just sit back and listen to Beethoven's Fur Elise. It does wonders.

How big of a disadvantage is applying in April to schools like St. Johns, American, Cardozo, Brooklyn and Loyola Chicago? Does anyone have experience.

Don’t wait to hit the 70s in January! Be prepared!

Currently in middle of LG part of CC. I hear a lot of talk about foolproofing the "LG bundle". What are people on the starter package supposed to foolproof? Any advice appreciated. Thanks!

Hello! I am looking to work with a law school advisor/counselor to help demystify the application process and give me a better sense of where I stand in terms of this upcoming admissions cycle. If anyone on here does hourly advising, or if any of you can recommend a particular counselor that has helped you in the past, I'd be really interested in booking a session in the near future. My email is ryeenarzani@gmail.com by the way. Thanks!
