June 2015 Waiters

Alright, the waiting game starts. I don't think I saw another waiters discussion on here. Let me know if there is and I missed it. Would anyone like to take guesses on the release date? Considering there is a holiday weekend, I say July 2, just to get it out of the way.

Omg 165

Can't believe it. I'm literally in shock rn. I totally thought I bombed the June test but just got my score back and it was 165! I will be retaking in Oct after a brief LSAT break here, but I just wanted to share that because I was almost positive I did terribly and was ready to cancel.

LSAT Analytics

Hey guys,

Question: Is the LSAT Analytics tool only supposed to be used for PTs? If not, could some of you share how you are utilizing the tool?

My guess is that it's only for PTs-- You track your progress and drill your weak areas, right?

I am sure there is an explanation on this site somewhere, just can't find it. :/

Thanks!

Hi so as expected I did not do as well as I would have liked.

I'm a non traditional ur female with 2 businesses. So I have great softs.

I m at the 25 percentile for lsat and median GPA for my dream school and 75 percentile for my safety school.

For my last choice , I'm at 50 th for both. I can only apply to pt programs.

My concern is should I study to bump up my score by 5 points or just start applying, or do both.

Personal statements are are going to require a lot and since I'm working 32 plus hrs weekly , I'm concerned as to the best way to handle my time. Do I Focus on application rather than lsat?

I do have a meeting with my dream school dean but I would like your input.

I was wondering what everyone's schedule looks like..is the amount of PT's a week a very subjective thing? So far I only have 3 full timed tests and one untimed test, a section and BR a day, this month, with LG drilling in between. Do you think I should squeeze in another timed PT in this month, or have 1-2 PTS a week for August and September? Not sure what everyone's take on the amount of PTS's to take is. My last few tests were 155, 158, and 161.

Embarrassing but, I got a 141 :( However, I winged it. I barely studied. I didn't do much on this site except read the beginnings. So now it's clear, crystal clear, that I need to buckle down & focus on studying my heart out. Anyone else retaking!? Don't judge me please, my score is terrible I know. The school I want to go to has a median of 148. So I definitely need improvement at least by 10 would be ideal.

1. How far back is safe for me to take real LSATs? A little bit ago I read somewhere that anything before 40 is too different and can throw you off slightly. Spare me the preferences c-rap unless its insightful. Obviously there are obvious pros and cons to taking them all or just taking the last 30 for accuracy. I just want to know when the major changes in the test occurred. Thanks :)

2. People be crazy on here, studying for a year plus (aka I'm jealous of your planning and dedication and determination). I'll be putting in 4 months total, three months super serious like 50 hours a week minimum. I fully expect to get a 170+. I don't believe in PTing until I've finished all my coursework (Trainer, 2 Powerscores, and Cambridge drills 40 - 61, so I can't back this claim up whatsoever. After I finish I'll be doing at least 51-73/74 PTs, and probably 10 hours with a tutor. (Yes, I am totally fine with doing a PT a day). My point is this: Don't believe the gentle haters that so politely tell you can't or that you need more time. You got this, I got this. Watch a shia labeouf satire video and read a quote about persistence and necessary failure.

3. twoscoopsofpoop, seriously. I'm bearded balding overweight and I've accomplished all this at only 20. I'm totes down to study anything in the trainer now, or powerscores and PT/BR (not sure what BR means) starting Friday. Have a nice day, smiley face.

Hi guys,

Does any one have any experience with Anna Ivey for a law school admissions coach? I know she wrote some of the law school admissions books. She seems to be more expensive then the other coaches. I am wondering what her pros and cons would be versus the other coachs.

I really don't understand why C can't be an answer.

McKinley said the drug will have various effects on the patients' bodies. But he also said it will make us aware of "whether the patients are getting the drugs or a placebo" (Does it mean McKinley thought the placebo will produce no effects just like answer choice C?). So that's why I thought Engle said Mckinley assumed what the outcome of the study will be since McKinley said various effects of the drug AND whether the patients are getting the drugs or a placebo.

So can C be an answer?

Can anyone explain me why C can't be an answer and D is better?

Thanks!

I chose D but the answer is E. I still don't understand why E is an answer.

If planes were first equipped with low-power circuitry "at about the same time" as portable electric devices got popular, can it be strengthening the stimulus?

Being at the "same time" made me think there're no other possibilities which could weaken the stimulus.

Can anyone explain why D can't be an answer and E can?

Thanks!

Drilling

How often do you guys drill? My first couple of drills on LR flaw questions have proved to be deadly. Pretty much hit or miss.I've gotten so disappointed lately because of my lack of proficiency. In some ways I think it is due to lack of fundamentals so I am re-reading that section. But then again I think it could be I because I simply don't drill enough (honestly I prob only get to really do it twice a week if that Smh). I'm going to try getting up early to drill while my son is sleeping.

While the right answer choice is very clear to me, it would be great if someone coule help me to clarify the reasoning structure for both the stimulus and answer choice (B)?

My Breakdown:

Stimulus:

Aerobic exercise & Women---correlates--- higher HDLs

Aerobic exercise & Women---correlates--- lower risk of Heart Disease& Stroke

--------------------

higher HDLs --cause--> lower risk of Heart Disease& Stroke

This reasoning seems to be making the correlation-causation error. However, can we rightfully assume since A correlates with both B and C , that B correlates with C?

*My intuition would say NO, because A most B, A most C, only implies B some C.

Similarly,

1. In the answer choice (B), the strengthening seems to rely on the same logic that Lower level of HDLs (absence of cause) correlates with higher risk of Heart Disease& Stroke (absence of effect) because both correlates with overweight.

2. some suggests the idea of overweight as the strengthener for Aerobic exercise.They reason that correlation between AE and lower risk HD&S is strengthened because Overweight (absence of Aerobic exercise) correlates with higher risk of HD&S (absence of lower risk HD&S). But first can we assume that overweight generally implies absence of aerobic exercise? and second if the emphasis is on overweight, this answer choice would seem like a premise booster.

Recently, I have noticed a glitch on the site regarding play speed on the videos. While using the app and the site through multiple browsers, I can't increase the play speed. I only have this issue on Samsung Note Pro 12.2. When I am using a PC, it's fine. Any ideas?

Core Curriculum

So I'm looking through the packages to purchase, and just want to clarify that the starter, premium, and ultimate all have the same amount of lessons, the only thing that differs is the amount of practice problems and PT explanations?

Also I have two more questions:

1) Is it possible to adequately get through the core curriculum in a month

2) For those using the cambridge packets, do you drill those specific questions after the corresponding lesson. Ex. Flaw lesson completed, drill flaw questions.

Thank you for taking the time to read this message.

I just took PT 50 and I felt like I did not even know how to complete the exam. I have familiarized myself with the test since December, but I felt like the questions were completely different than those in the 30s and 40s. I ended up circling 75% of the LR questions. Also, I could not complete 1-10 in ten minutes. Probably 4 out of the first 10 were extremely difficult. The LG was easy, but the LR was brutal. Has anyone else had this experience? Is this test an anomaly? Is this test the beginning of the drastic changes and turns that the LSAT takes?
