Hi all,

Do any of you have a list of all the strange games?

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!

Admin note: edited title; please use the format of "PT#.S#.Q# - [brief description]"

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!

Hello! I saved my password on my personal computer and sometimes i need to login to a school computer to print some workouts, it prevents me from logging into another computer. And if i try too many times, it allows me to login as a free account. wield...

#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.

Hi Everyone!

I am looking for a group of people to study with in the Seattle area. Anyone who is taking the LSAT relatively soon (Nov or Jan '18) and is willing to meet in person would be awesome! Just looking for some people to motivate each other, work through BR, and anything else. Email me at [removed by admin] if you're interested. Thanks!

Anyone want to share the timing sheets used for video footage? There is one with the live footage for PT 81 but I would love to get a fresh blank one for myself. Thanks in advance!

I am taking the Jan LSAT and scoring well on LG and LR but RC keeps dragging me down. What is the best way to boost my RC score with just over two weeks until test day?

I've been doing some drills to understand my LR process better because I feel like some questions make me incredibly and irrecoverably slow but when I look at them again, I see the point real quick. So my question here is, if any of you have tried this, how long do you take per average on easy/medium questions vs how long do you take per average on hard/hardest question. Or, do you take longer on a particular Q.type?

Correct me if I am wrong in my explanation. I am not sure about my explanations for "B" and "D"

*The kind of question this is:* Weaken

*CTX:* Post office must be replaced with a larger one.

*Premise(s):*

• The present one cannot be replaced.

• Land near the present (center of town) location is more expensive.

• Cost of acquiring a site is a significant part of the total construction cost.

*Conclusion:* Post office can be built more cheaply on the outskirts of town.

*What I am looking for:* A reason, that outweighs the burden of cost, in favour of the office to being built near the present (center of town) location, rather than on the outskirts.

*Answer A:* No. That is just information. Irrelevant. The building code is not a stated obstacle.

*Answer B:* Yes. The office on the outskirts will need a parking lot that is more expensive than not having one.

*Answer C:* No. That’s an issue that the new post office would not need to worry about. It is not mentioned how this would be a problem.

*Answer D:* No. So what if they have to deliver mail to home. The mail will still arrive to the costumers. The post office on the outskirts will still be in business.

*Answer E:* No. That’s not a problem. That’s just the process that will be taken to build the office in the center of town.

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'm really confused between A and D too and can't still understand why A is wrong.

I chose A. The reason why I thought D was wrong is "widely accepted theory" part. The author said it has "gradually" won accepted (Line 20) rather than widely accepted. I think gradually accepted and widely accepted are totally different.

So how is it possible D is the right answer?

And why is A wrong?

Please someone enlighten me.

Thanks!

Hi all,

So I am in AmeriCorps, and because of the structure of my program I get the opportunity to do a LOT of volunteer work. And when I say a lot, I mean volunteering for single events for around 10 different organizations. How should I put this in my resume? Should I leave out the more insignificant stuff, or just write something like "Volunteer for X, X, X, X, X, X..."

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!

Does anyone want to help keep me accountable? Like spam me lsat stuff :)

Hi there! I'm a full-time paralegal in the Alexandria area, and looking for a study buddy for a little bit of accountability. I'm almost finished with the CC, looking to start PTing soon, and was hoping someone may be looking for the same!

Hi Everyone! I'm fairly new to the law school admissions process, so I need advice on which test I should take (Aug or Oct)? There are two parts to my question:

First, my goal is to get into a T14 school. When looking into their admissions, most of them open on Sept. 1 and some of them are rolling. For this reason, I feel that waiting for the Oct LSAT may be too late to be strongly considered at a T14 school. I am I wrong in thinking this? Could I wait until the Oct LSAT and still be a strong competitor at a T14?

Second, how do schools feel about applicants taking the LSAT twice? I am worried I will not be ready to score a ~170 by Aug 29, but it is possible since I will have a decent amount of prep in by then. Does taking the test twice look bad, especially if you score the same or worse the second time (this is a common concern w/ GMAT)?

Background on my prep process: I started prepping in mid-June and have logged about 30 hrs, I recently took my first PT and scored a 155 under normal test conditions and a 163 with an additional ~10 mins on each section, I have a FT job where I work 45 hrs/week, but am on track to log 150 hrs of LSAT prep by Aug 29.

Very thankful for any advice!!!

Is anyone interested in forming a study group for the March Lsat ? If your in NYC we can meet at a mutual location.

Febbers! We’re less than a month away! Come to Group BR tonight!

Fine Print (NOTE: you all want to be lawyers; reading fine print is what lawyers do, so READ IT!)

BR GROUP NOTES:

I understand the whole formal logic chain, pretty simple, however I do not understand why the last sentence is added to the end of the chain (a necessary condition) when the sentence starts out as 'The only', which implies sufficiency. Not sure for legal reasons if I am able to post the actual question on here, but I am more the welcome to if somebody if willing to assist me. Thanks!

Admin note: edited title; please use the format of "PT#.S#.Q# - [brief description]." Also, you are correct - please do not post the entire actual question in forums for LSAC/legal reasons, the title format helps others reference the PT and question. Thanks!

Hi,

So I am just really lost on why the right answer here was B instead of A. Can anyone explain why B is right and A is wrong?

When looking at the question, I focused primarily on the last two sentences of passage A (kinda treated those last two sentences as a LR question).

As a result, A looked like it weakened the argument passage A gives in these last two sentences because it created a reason for the phenomena (of rich people usually paying about the same under progressive tax as they would under flat tax) to be surprising (and thus less "unsurprising").

In addition, I just didn't see how B weakens the idea that this phenomena was "unsurprising", and as a result, I thought B was incorrect.

#HELP

Thanks!

Is there anything I should do to prep myself for the change of LSAT format from a written test to a tablet test?

I have been doing preptests by only having scrap sheets to write on,

During my blind-review sections or untimed sections I average -3, yet on timed sections I average -7/-8 which on a bad day can be -10. I don't understand how to close the gap. I've read Loophole and am trying to find patterns but sometimes the questions just throw me for a loop or have subtle distinctions from the right answer choice. Any successful methods of closing this gap and improving speed?

Hi, I've been hitting the mid-high 160's and I'm finding my core weakness is not understanding what the ACs are saying. This means the AC is using hard referential phrasing, or weird grammar like using embedded clauses without commas / run-on sentences, or the wording is just ambiguous.

I'm trying to parse the sentence piece by piece in my BR, but does anyone have any help for this issue?

My solutions so far are: parse word by word / phrase by phrase in BR, reduce the AC down to subject verb object. This is still really hard and I miss a lot of questions just because I don't know what the AC is trying to tell me. Thanks!

I'm studying for the June - July tests. I'm around 165. I’m pretty soled on LR. On games a bit less. On RC just got developed my routine, whether it pays off I will know in a month or so. I don’t have experience with a study buddy yet. Except for the only one discussion on a few LR questions with a friend of mine. I think to share strategies and discuss particular LR questions could be healthful
