Woohooo

What’s the distinct definition of and/or explanation of the assumption in a mistaken reversal. Mistaken Reversals are daunting at times when I’m under pressure, sometimes I pick up on them, sometimes I don’t 🤦🏾‍♀️ 🥴🥴😩😂 I’ve found at times that when comparing the variables A and B in the premises that the follow A and B Variables in the conclusion; I find they are never identical 😩 that’s why I sometimes mistake- mistaken reversal for mismatched concepts instead; because my variables never follow in order for me to confirm the “like terms” were flipped 🥴 also if that is not the case should I always follow the necessary variable in premises and make sure it isn’t flipped to the sufficient in the conclusion ?!? #Help lol am I overthinking it?!?

I keep misinterpreting the question or what the stimulus is really saying/asking for. This leads me to kind of develop my own assumption of what the answer should be or even misinterpret the entire stimulus itself, which leads me to get really easy questions wrong. I don't know if this is because I am not reading carefully or slowly enough... does anybody have this same issue or have any suggestions for me? #help

I am wondering how much others have improved in a month? I am set for the August Flex but am not where I want to be yet although I have been studying since March. Should I start doing bootcamp style? Please lmk!

Here's my situation - I have been out of undergraduate for about 3 years but am fortunate to have incredible relationships with multiple professors particularly in the economic department since I was part of a special program there (did a really great independent study with one, continued to work with and successfully published a paper with another after graduation, and even went back a separate time to speak to current students about why they should be an Econ Major). I think there are probably three professors that could write particularly strong letters on my behalf from this department.

There is also another professor in the Poli Sci department that I had a very strong relationship with my first couple of years while in college (worked with him to present a paper at an academic conference) but not as much during my Junior and Senior years (just happened that I had completed all my Poli Sci classes early and ended up being more involved in the Econ Dept during the latter half of my years) and unlike my relationships with professors in the Economics Dept, I have not kept up with him.

Additionally, I worked for ~2.5 years in a professional environment and think that there are 1-2 people that I worked with in a supervisory role that would also be able/willing to write me a strong letter.

So far, I have decided that I am definitely going to ask two Economics Professors and one letter from my work experience. My question is how I should allocate a 4th letter, if at all? I don't want to overwhelm the application reader with taking on a 4th letter but I know that it would be strong.

Option 1) Additional Academic Letter (from Poli Sci)

Option 2) Additional Academic Letter (from Econ)

Option 3) Additional Professional Experience Letter

Option 4)

No forth letter

I know I'm in a great spot here but just want to make sure that I make the best decision.

I still can't figure out how to use this site and I spend a lot of time just navigating the site which is a complete waste. Why can't I go back to the question to see the answers I chose if I'm watching explanation videos? And no, the links to the videos on how to use the site didn't help. Please advise

When practicing the memory method, J.Y. advocates writing 1-5 word "low res" summaries for each paragraph on RC. Given that this takes very minimal time, is it recommended to do this on the scratch paper during the real test? Or is it simply an exercise for helping build memory? #help

Hi Everyone! I'm looking to create a group of motivated individuals who would be interesting in drilling LR sections together (hopefully 2 or 3 times a week). I'm not yet at the point of doing full length PT's and wanted to do timed LR sections from PT's 20-50. The idea is to articulate your reasoning to someone and as JY says-either shatter that reasoning or reinforce that reasoning.

If this is something you'd be interested in doing let me know!

I am almost seven years out of school, and am in the military. I'm currently writing a new resume for the first time in years and want to make sure I'm not breaking any unspoken resume rules. Right now it is exactly 2 pages. I'm worried that if I try to shorten it to 1 page I will have to sacrifice a significant amount of my accomplishments. Is it an unwritten rule that it must be 1 page, or can it be 2?

I just finished the CC a week ago and registered for the August LSAT. I have taken timed (and untimed for LG) sections for PT 36 and 37 and averaging about 168. Since I have only one month or so left for the August LSAT, I can't take all PTs listed. Which PTs should I choose to get better prepared? I aimed at 170+ for the August LSAT but I can't finised the LG under timed condition right now. Any other general recommendations would be also helpful!

Hi everyone! I've been practicing for the lsat flex style test by not doing one of the LR sections when doing pt but as a result it is a bit difficult to determine my analytics. Does anyone know if it is possible to convert analytics to reflect that I was just skipping one of the LR sections instead of missing them due to errors that need analysis?

Hey guys! I stumbled on a sample PT for LSAT India, which is separate test for Indian Law schools. The LR is the same so you guys can use it for drilling or timed sections. The RC and LG are slightly different. Its shorter and has 4 Ac's instead of the standard 5 but I'm sure extra prep material can never hurt!

Hi all.

I appreciate anyone who takes the time to help me out with this. It's been weighing me down because I honestly don't know where to turn.

For character and fitness addendums, how specific do you need to get? There are instances that I am going to disclose because I want to stay on the safe side (even though I don't think I was technically cited for anything, honestly I can't fully remember because it was a while ago), but I don't have the specific dates (just general months/years of the incidents). I remember general facts about the situations (how fast I was going in a specific speed limit, the fact that I got in a small car accident a couple years ago in a parking lot, etc.).

Basically, what I'm asking: Do I need to track down a written, formal, in-depth explanation of every potential C&F violation I've ever been involved in in order to sufficiently disclose? I didn't have to go to court for some of the things I'm disclosing but I can't remember if I was cited etc., so do I just give a general disclosure of those instances and include the information that I can recall about the incidences, or should I visit the police station to make sure I have my bases covered and I'm not forgetting something that could jeopardize my future bar application? There are only two times I have ever gone to court, and it was for speeding tickets.

Is there a way for me to convert the practice tests on this site to Flex? For example, where I only take the 3 sections timed and then receive would be a Flex score? Or is my only option to take the full practice test and then convert the score?

Hi,

I am looking at creating a study group, where we can discuss LSAT test taking-strategy, problems and practice tests and we can also just work on staying motivated for the LSAT. Please DM me.

Thanks.

Would someone thinking about October want to trade messages on here on Post-CC work and PTs? I'd really appreciate it.

Sometime recently there was an option to sign up for discounted versions of the legal topics courses. The first one was called Real Property or something. Are there any upcoming opportunities to subscribe? If so, what is the cost?

Answer choice D makes sense but I do not understand the difference between D and C. Are they not saying the same thing? Doesn't salt increase chances of food poisoning by not letting food cook thoroughly?

I couldn't find a posting on this, so out of curiosity,

I have a bunch of Kaplan PTs downloaded from the internet. Are they different from the official published LSAT PTs?

How many official ones are there? Where can you find all of the official ones? And are there other organizations that publish more/other/different PTs?

Cheers!

This version of the memory method has helped me to build the link between low resolution summaries and higher resolution summaries.

On the first 3.5 minute reading, I write low resolution summaries (less than five words) for each paragraph. Because these are generally only two to three words, when I flip the passage over for the second round of 1.5 minute summaries I am in virtually no danger of forgetting them.

When I flip the passage over for the 1.5 minute summaries, instead of simply trying to remember the low res summaries, instead I actually try to take them and expand them to higher resolution (10-15 word) summaries without looking at the passage. This has helped me strengthen my ability to "build" 2-3 word low res summaries into higher resolution summaries in my head without ever having to look at the passage.

Then I do the questions (per usual).

There really isn't a "phase two" because this is generally targeted at students who already feel comfortable with low res summaries. This is more of an exercise to use once you've built a strong foundation of being able to summarize passages into one or two words, and mainly targets your memory's ability to "fill out" the rest of the paragraph when you "call" upon a low resolution summary. Because high resolution summaries take longer than low resolution ones, I sometimes (...often) take more than 1.5 minutes to do the second step. This method may not work for everyone but I have definitely seen improvement in my ability to actually use the low res summaries once I commit them to memory, and I figured I'd share it just in case it could be helpful to anyone else. Let me know if it works for y'all!

I completed my July LSAT flex on Tuesday and still have yet to do my writing. I have two questions. 1) is it problematic not to complete the writing on the same day as the exam and will this hurt my applications. 2) If not, how long is the LSAT writing available to take?

Hello,

I plan on taking LSAT in November and would like create a study group. I think it is helpful to have an accountability partner and study group for tips and questions. (Teamwork>everything else) I work full time and am looking for someone similar. I plan on setting group meets on weekends (anytime that works best for all) or evening (pacific timezone). Please let me know if anyone is interested.

Hi! I’m almost done with the LR & LG curriculum. I have one lesson to go and then I’ll be at the RC part of the CC. I’m wondering if anyone has guidance on what to do next: should I spend the next ten days just working on drilling RC, or should I just start taking full timed PTs now and review/study RC as I go? I’m taking the test in October so I was planning on spending 2 months taking PTs and reviewing my weaknesses.
