Out of curiosity, are any other Alaskans taking the June LSAT? I'm always seeing the DC/NY/Cali study groups, but the non-contiguous US is woefully underrepresented.

Parallel questions have been a huge flaw of mine in PT and drilling, does any1 have any tips that will help me not be utterly confused?

How reliable are Loan Repayment Assistance Programs? How can school guarantee that the programs will exist well into the future? I know that we can't predict the future, but how likely is it that schools would cancel or drastically change their LRAPs in the near/distant future? I'm considering GULC specifically, but also asking for evidence from law schools in general.

Do you guys scan the answers or just jump right in and try out games?

I realize this is very game dependent. I usually scan the answers choices quickly, but if nothing jumps out I force myself to jump right into trying out all the answers. I found myself wasting time on open ended game boards trying to think about why an answer choice could be correct, and coming up with nothing for all my "thinking" time. So know I try to just jump right into testing the answers.

Today I came across a game, LSAT 10, Game 4 http://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-10-section-2-game-4/, that has me rethinking my strategy. I didn't make the inference at the start that Y must be in, though I DID make the difference that at least one of X/Z must be out. When I got to question 23, I quickly looked at my master game board didn't come up with any that must be in, so just jumped right in to trying out the possibilities. I got through A and B, before scanning the remainder of the choices and quickly realized that Y must be in.

The game took way too long in general, not just because of this question, but still interested in how you guys handle "thinking" about correct answer choices, or just jumping in and trying possibilities.

I get that we are concerned about comparing the people that fall outside the weight bracket and people that fall inside the weight bracket, but I am still confused about (D). From the data collected from policyholders, we make a generalization, which looks like a flaw to me. I thought (D) acts as a flaw/gap protector by increasing the likelihood that holders are proper representatives of the population.

Help is appreciated! Thank you in advance!

Hello all,

I have recently created a Discord server that can be used as a study group of sorts for upcoming test takers, primarily for those taking the test in January or February. Feel free to join whether you are a beginner or have been studying for awhile.

We will use this space not only to hold regular sessions to help out everyone along their studying journey, but also we have a messaging board that is open to all to use for whatever questions they may have.

Please feel free to join using the link below, and feel free to comment if you have any questions or issues when it comes to either joining the server link or making an account. I will be happy to help anyone out!

Hope to see you there.

For law school applications (and future bar admission), how should I go about what jobs I include? I started working at 17, and my first job I was at for really around 4 years, but I quit a couple times and came back, always on good terms and it was a normal thing at that job. There were some jobs after age 18 where I was at for one day, a couple of weeks, or just one week before realizing it wouldn't be a good fit, and I'd find other options. All retail and service jobs, and these short jobs were always outweighed by other jobs that were great experiences. I would just hate to get through law school only to get struck down by the bar for a resume issue.

Please click the link and comment if you plan on participating.

Note:

  • For the newbies: Add me on Skype, using handle dmlevine76 and PM your email for Google Hangout.
  • For the regulars: If for some reason you're not in the group conversation[s] already, just message me on Skype.
  • For everyone: take the PT under timed conditions; BR as you are able; join us for all or part of the call—everyone is welcome.
  • Note: For the purposes of the call, we like to check our group blind review score together at the very end of the call :) So at least don't say ... "No guys, really, it's D, I checked it.” Keep the correct answer to yourself. Use your reasoning to win the argument.
  • These groups work best when folks from ALL stages of prep and with all different goals join in! Not just for "super-preppers" and definitely not just for the casual LSATer (does such a person exist?).
  • The only expectation anyone has for these calls is for you to have fun and ask questions as you desire. We are just a bunch of LSAT lovers who gather via Skype and intellectually slaughter each test.

    Proctors: 1

    Facilities: Nothing noticeable bad. Building was bigger, but was able to find the restrooms pretty easily.

    What kind of room: Took the exam in one of two small lecture-style auditoriums.

    How many in the room: 25-30

    Desks: Auditorium seating with swivel-up desks.

    Left-handed accommodation: Possibly.

    Noise levels: In general the building and class room was parking.

    Parking: Though parking could have been an issue given the area, I had no trouble parking on campus relatively close to the building.Did not have to pay to park. I got there pretty early to find a spot, and saw several.

    Time elapsed from arrival to test: Took about 25 minutes for everyone to line up and get assigned a room.

    Irregularities or mishaps: None. Everything went smoothly.

    Other comments: Things were very calm and went smoothly.

    Would you take the test here again? I would probably prefer a place with bigger desks. I had to store my stuff on the ground or the seat next to me. Would have been nicer to be able to spread more.

    Date[s] of Exam[s]:February 2015.

    In parallel reasoning, the scope of the conclusion must be very similar. If the original argument has a "usually," then AC's conclusion must have a "most" or "usually" etc. Or if the conclusion is universal, "Bats are nocturnal," then the AC's conclusion must also be universal. (Right?)

    In match the flaw, the scope of the conclusion is irrelevant.
