Need some help staying on top of my studies

Before, I never considered writing a diversity statement, because I didn’t realize how broadly law schools defined “diversity.” I understand that women are becoming better represented in the legal profession than they have been in the past, so I don’t want to seem like I’m just trying to have an extra essay to write. Coming from a STEM background in undergrad, I have seen how underrepresented women are in STEM. I am considering some legal fields pertaining to this (patent law, IP law), but I’m not set on these fields. Would it be worth discussing this in a diversity statement (my potential to bring diversity to the STEM-related fields of law)? I just don’t want it to come across as not being genuine or anything! Thanks in advance!

need someone to study with in Maui

I started studying for the LSAT a week ago. I am taking my LSAT in September. What version would you guys recommend V1 or V2?

yep, as expected, LG3 f-Ed me over. But it's ok because I didn't suck at the other sections. I'm also well within the median for my goal school. But yeah, Game3, how cruel a fate.

Hi everyone, I have just received an email from Wake Forest requesting that I complete a video interview. I wonder if anyone else has gone through this experience that could give me a heads up on what to expect? Thanks in advance.

Hi guys,

I have written on these discussion boards a few times. I am applying to Canadian law schools this November.I finished writing my personal statement. I was wondering if someone could have a look at it and give some feedback. Someone who is good at personal statements.

I would actually really appreciate it.

Thanks

I am planning on taking the October or Novebmer LSAT and looking for 170 score

Is there a good method or trick to eliminate all possible worlds for distributions? I just completed a game and couldn't figure out if I exhausted all possible distributions or not. I usually guess for the most part.

thanks.

#help I work full time, 8:30-6. i wake up before work and study for 1.5 hours and another 1.5 after work. I go through the courses but i don't get enough practice to actually retain what im learning. Should i continue courses and finish the curriculum or should go through a section and go to the Qbank to practice? is there any point of the syllabus where it actually makes you practice more of the things you learned instead of the few questions it give you? what would you guys recommend i do. saturdays i can work from 5 to 10pm. sundays all day.

I cannot seem to get above a 176 on my blind review. I am grateful that I test at around the same level as my BR (171-175) but I also recognize that I am not going to be able to get above a 175 if I am not doing so on the blind review. I do the wrong answer journals (why did I get this wrong - what was my thinking - why is the correct answer right - why didn't I think it was right - what type of mindset/strategy is necessary for me to get it right next time) and I even log trends in wrong questions. I even have a vocab list I study. I just cannot get past this plateau. Any advice would be helpful

Hi,

I'm having a lot of trouble eliminating D on this question, and would love some help if possible! My reasoning:

D) Was the species to which the recently discovered [earlier] dinosaur [X] belonged related to T. rex?

If yes, and T. rex descended from X, this seems to strengthen the author's argument as it suggests that the T. rex features evolved in an earlier ancestor that evidently did not require them for its size. In this scenario the features would have just been passed down to the T. rex, offering an alternate explanation to the scientists' hypothesis and strengthening the author's argument.

If no, and the T. rex and X were unrelated, I feel like this would weaken the author's argument as it would make it difficult to compare the two dinosaurs. Even if X did not evolve these features to support its size, T. rex still may have and it's just a coincidence that they are similar. This would leave us back where we started as the author's evidence for calling the scientists' hypothesis into question is now irrelevant.

Any help clearing this up would be greatly appreciated, I've spent way too long on this question :P

Correct me if I am wrong in my explanation.

*The kind of question this is:* Weaken

*CTX:* Local agricultural official gave fruit growers of District 10 a new pesticide that they applied for three years to their pear orchards in place of the pesticides they had used before.

*Premise(s):* during the three years, the proportion of pears lost to insects was significantly less than it had been during the previous three years period.

*Conclusion:* based on the results, the official concluded that the new pesticide was more effective than the old pesticide, at least in the short term. In limiting the loss of certain fruit to insects.

*What I am looking for:* Just looking for answer choices that weaken the argument. Maybe an alternative explanation as to why the pears lost to insects were significantly less than it had been during the previous three years period.

*Answer A:* Yes, this is the right answer. This is irrelevant and does not weaken the argument. There were less fruit being produced because the number of mature trees has declined of the past 8 years. Who cares. The argument is talking about the “proportion of pears lost to insects.” So, it doesn’t matter how many pears we started with, it’s how many of those that were lost to insects with the new pesticide.

*Answer B:* Not the right answer. This weakens the argument. Insect abatement programs were used in the last 5 years, and were successful. That explains why the pears lost to insects were significantly less than it had been during the previous three years period.

*Answer C:* Not the right answer. Over the past 5 years, the birds that prey on the insects that feed on the pears have spent more time in the district 10 region. Weakens.

*Answer D:* Not the right answer. Insects in district 10 that infest pear trees are water breeders, and access to water for them is shrinking. This means the insects did not get to the pear trees. Weakens.

*Answer E:* Not the right answer. It is saying the old pesticide is still in effect after it has stopped being used, so it may not be the new pesticide that is credited with eliminating many pear eating insects. Weakens.

Say I were to receive a time extensions for an ADHD diagnosis. Would this accommodation be show to all the places I applied to?

Just in case you need another prediction

Any New Orleanians in here?

To solve this necessary assumption question I used the technique of negating each answer, and then seeing which opposite answer choice would have to weaken the argument. The one that must weaken the argument is the answer. However, here, I just can't quite understand why C is not the answer (I understand why E is the answer though).

Any help appreciated!

Is the cumulative GPA on the LSAC academic summary report out of 4.0 or 4.33?

Hi,

I am having difficulty diagramming this question:

This is what I have so far:

P1: ~Increase Ag Prod. ----> Reduce Biodiv.---> Abandon C.A.

C : Sustain EG ----> Increase Ag Prod.---> Abandon C.A.

I assumed that abandoning conventional agricultural techniques, and radically modifying agricultural techniques to be the same (Abandon C.A.)

Any help would be much appreciated!

When I am doing blind review, I perform 300% better - an ACTUAL stat I am tracking with LR.

Something about the clock is truly impacting my judgement on these questions.

When I do timed sections of RC - I can get two passages with 100% accuracy on the questions. Then I have no time to do the other passages.

This is becoming a major point of contention for me in my study journey. HELP!!!
