I'm confused with definition and/or terminology. Is numbered ordering the same as basic linear ordering (with a number line), or is there a difference? [3D numbered ordering and Advanced Linear ordering]
Also is there any relationship between numbered ordering and relative ordering.
Please help. Thank you.

7Sagers, I'm doing some BR and I'm really conflicted on this question. I have no idea what the answer is to this question yet (I wanted to get feedback from you guys first) so I have no idea if I've even narrowed it down to the right final two answer choices but here's where I'm at.
This is the passage about the permissibility of custom-made medical illustrations in the courtroom. The question says
Removed. Please see forum rules.
Here's where I'm at with the question:
a) I think this may be an implicit argument? But the passage in the third paragraph actually seems to be refuting criticism not directly making a stance yet
b) ~~~ B looks really good
c) Does she do this? I don’t see where it says that they aren’t permissible in the court room – just that they are more confusing than general illustrations
d) No, she doesn’t do that in this paragraph.
e) ~
I’m really stuck and torn between answer choices B and E and I’m not sure I can figure out what the differences are on my own. Both look really good. The objection in the second paragraph to custom-made medical illustrations is that they misrepresent facts to comply with a partisan interest. The third paragraph says that the complaint is that they distort the issues through a variety of means. Does this count as a variant then? It feels like it does
Answer choice E seems tricky because it’s not lengthy but the paragraph does say that it’s an issue of complexity and simplicity and that this is in effect the differences between the two. Both answer choices seem really good.
Hey,
Before confirming for CAS, Step 1 is to "Enter Institutions Attended," and one of the fields requires you to enter in your email address. When I start applying for schools, would that email address be shown to them?
I am going to have a more professional email (IE: First and Last name) address on my resume, but the one that I have under CAS is my gmail one. (It is nothing embarrassing, like the one that Gronk (Patriots' TE) used to have, which is chickslayer69@yahoo.com)
Thanks!
Hi all,
Do any of you have a list of all the strange games?
I was wondering if being an international applicant helps? I see that being URM helps a lot, but what about internationals?
Hi everyone, just wondering where it would be possible to get more material to practice my MP questions? Thanks!
Hello,
How did you guys translate question 9 in the quiz to lawgic? I read the sentence like this "without a will testifying the transferal (WTT), the state of California will auction the properties (AP)." /WTT --------> AP
I am bit confused about the translation in the lesson. The two ideas selected in the video are "will testifying transferal (WTT)" and "California has no choice (/CC) ." /WTT --------> /CC or CC --------------> WTT. If I were to approach this question mechanically, this makes sense. But what is the sentence actually saying? The confusing bit for me is what the CC here means when you take the contrapositive (California has choice---- to do what?).
Any thoughts? Thanks

Is anyone taking the February 2017 LSAT and looking for a study partner? I am looking for a study partner in the DC Metro and Northern VA area. I prefer to meet in person but am flexible with meeting online/phone when necessary. I am using the 7Sage Ultimate Course and am looking for someone to study, take tests with, and just a mutually supportive partner(ship). I live in the Arlington VA area
I am planning on taking the LSAT December 3, in Annapolis if anyone wants to join me and make a study group!!!
What is the deal with these? When we are done with them is it any sort of copyright to give them away?
It says "rock music has nothing going for it" but even if A is true...can't LP still have value if they accompany visual art? Since visual art itself provides some value...
I'm confused with this question :(
Thank you

Did anyone else take the test abroad? I had two LG sections. Was the Ghana/India/France question real or experimental?
I know LSAC has been changing it up lately. When was the last time they pulled this baby out? Do we see this happening soon ? I enjoy them more than a lot of other games but I am just curious as to when this rarely used game may be making a comeback
I took the exam in Asia, so I believe its a non-disclosed exam. It's my first write and unfortunately, I completely lost track of time because of exam nerves (completely my fault, I know) and ending up having to guess the last page for both reading comprehension and logic games. Honestly, like a random guess, not even an educated guess. This sucks and I know that I shouldn't have let it get to me, but I would be lying to say it didn't affect my performance at all for my later sections. I feel like the material itself was not extremely difficult and quite similar to my practice tests, but I guess the whole "realness" of the testing conditions scared the living crap out of me so I messed up. I think this is definitely something I can work with, by setting up more realistic practice test taking conditions. The question is, I want some confirmation whether I should cancel or not. I would love some advice. The law schools I'm planning to apply to take my highest only, but I feel like because I bombed this one so hard I want kind of a somewhat "clean slate" for my next write. Hoping for the best.
Proctors: We had three: one in the front, one in the back, and one in the middle of the room. the one in the front was the one giving the instructions at the beginning and between sections. I always had enough time between each section to reset my watch close my eyes and take a few deep breaths.
Facilities: The campus is easy to find, medium size, large lecture rooms, clean bathrooms, air conditioned and many vending machines (in case you need to grab a snack or a bottle of water).
What kind of room: Lecture room. 11-12 rows.
How many in the room: 18 test takers.
Desks: Medium size, for large lecture room. long desk shared by each row with sliding seats.
Left-handed accommodation: Yes, there was a deisgnated row for left handed test takers.
Noise levels: Minimum noise.
Parking: Parking was easy and there was plenty of slots. $9 parking fee credit or debit cards only (you'll pay on the way out).
Time elapsed from arrival to test: 20 mins. once it was 8:30 am they divided us into 4 groups of 15/18 test takers. each group had three proctors. we walked straight to the exam room. they verified our ID's and admission tickets, and assigned each test takers a seat. we signed the admission tickets and were giving the answer sheet and exam within 15 mins.
Irregularities or mishaps: Nope everything went smoothly.
Other comments: The room was kind of cold.
Would you take the test here again? I definitely would. Too Bad it's not available for Dec.
Date[s] of Exam[s]: 9/24/16
Here's my review for Western Washington University. I actually live in BC but this test centre is the closest to my house and it's really good (based on my limited experience) and I'm not really sure I want the word to get out before the next time I have to write haha.
Proctors: There were two women, super friendly and the one at the front was really encouraging, kept telling us how well prepared she thought we looked during the break and after the test was over. They also let us keep water on the desk and reminded people that knuckle cracking was distracting in between sections. Proctors were quiet and I never heard them chatting or saw them moving. One stayed up at the back and the other sat at the front.
Facilities: Restrooms were down the hall, 1 minute walk for slowpokes, 25 seconds for everyone else. I don't know what they looked like because I don't use public washrooms....assuming they were standard, had toilets and sinks...
What kind of room: Small lecture hall (aka higher at the back, lower at the front) with long tables for desks and chairs that were attached by a swivel. Chairs kind of sucked but what can you really expect at a school?
How many in the room: 13 (15 were scheduled but 2 were no-shows). They mentioned to us before the test that they decided to split us into 3 separate groups based on last names so I'm assuming every room had about the same. Plenty of room to stretch out and line up all 15 of your backup pencils. The room was far from being full and I there there was a 3 seat gap in between each person.
Desks: Long tables attached to the floor so no movement. No wiggling.
Left-handed accommodation: No one was left handed in my room but since there were so few of us I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem to move if you needed to.
Noise levels: Super quiet. Literally heard nothing the entire time I was writing. They also had signs posted on the room doors as well as the building entrance/exit doors asking for quiet as testing was in progress.
Parking: Pay parking from a meter. Not difficult to figure out. Walked probably 10 feet from my car to the building. When I did a trial drive earlier in the summer they had a visitor centre that was opened where they told me they would issue visitor parking passes for free but unfortunately the centre was closed last Saturday.
Time elapsed from arrival to test: They were really efficient in getting us all lined up and in the correct rooms. We started the first section at 9:05 but only because one test taker was either super nervous and didn't understand how to complete any of his bubble sheet or didn't pay attention to the instructions and just sat there silently not asking questions. A few people also didn't pay attention when they told us to insert the writing sample form into the last page of the test booklet.
Irregularities or mishaps: One test taker was clearly bubbling in answers after the 5th section ended. The proctor at the rear immediately came down and told him he wasn't permitted to be doing that. The front proctor confirmed but still let him continue after he told them he only bubbled in one hole. I (and probably everybody else except the proctor at the front who was almost right in front of him) saw him the entire time as he as the only person noticeably moving after time had been called. He must have bubbled in at least 10 by the time she told him to stop. He claimed he didn't know he wasn't permitted but we got constant reminders about it so I doubt it.
Other comments: I think that this test centre is underused since it's in such a random middle of nowhere location and I didn't see any other reviews on it prior to writing. The proctor also asked us if we wanted a 10 or 15 minute break before the break started. I wanted 10 but no one else did or maybe a bunch of us did but didn't put our hands up...lemmings.
Would you take the test here again? 100% (sadly that will soon be a reality come grey day...)
Date[s] of Exam[s]: Sep 24, 2016
Proctors: Three nice ladies. They followed the rules strictly.
Facilities: Mason Hall and some students were in an Angell Hall auditorium
What kind of room:Large classroom with long tables,
How many in the room: more than 40
Desks:Big long tables, more than enough place for you to lay out your materials
Left-handed accommodation:I don't know, I'm not left-handed
Noise levels:Generally quiet, though people upstairs moved their chairs and caused some noise for a few minutes.
Parking: I don't drive
Time elapsed from arrival to test: Less than 30 minutes
Irregularities or mishaps: no
Other comments: Very cold air-conditioning, so remember to bring a jacket; You cannot go to the bathroom once you've checked in
Would you take the test here again? I hope I don't need to take the LSAT again...But yea if I am going to take the Dec one.

Is it just me or was this the easiest Reading Comprehension you've ever seen?
The CAS system appears to have a first major and second major category. However, I'm a triple major and was wondering if anyone else has come across this.... Do I only put two of my majors?
I can't for the life of me figure out why (A) is better and (E), any help?

Hi,
I was doing PT 70 and was wondering,
Do you think section 4 is harder than section1?
I think I had this experience before too...when one of the LR section is relatively easy, the other one is kind of hard...
Is this true? Or am I the only one who felt so?

Hey 7Sage friends, i took pre-test 68 and scored very differently on the two LR sections. i am a bit perplexed by the discrepancy. How does one get 85% aka 22/26 on the first section of LR on a preptest and then get 56% aka14/25 on the second section of LR on the same preptest? I did both of them timed during a full practice test and THEN redid both sections, timed as well, and got the same score on a different day. I redid them to make sure that the second sections failure wasn't an accident. The difficulty level of the second LR section is clearly much more difficult for me. I would say 85% on the first section is a great outcome but the second section killed my score overall. any tips or explanations for the difference in difficulty? So i need to go back to fundamentals? do preptests usually have one section of the LR that is SIGNIFICANTLY more difficult in comparison to the other? thanks in advance
I have a clear top choice for law school, and while I would love to apply Early Decision, I will likely need some scholarship money. Obviously, Early Decision reduces that chance of receiving money you would receive otherwise. But is it still standard for a law school to dish out money to an Early Decision applicant? My application for this particular school will likely benefit from an LSAT score at the median or 75th percentile but a GPA at the 25th percentile.
Thanks in advance.
