For 60.3.6,

there seems to be a distinction between "2" and "many," which would make AC C wrong.

But I thought "many" is "some" and "some" includes "2"?

Where am I going wrong?

also, both AC C and D change subjects from premise to conclusion

For AC C, the subject changes from reviewers (who enjoyed the new novel) to a reviewer (in next Sunday's newspaper).

For AC D, the subject changes from reviewers (in general) to reviewer (for the local newspaper).

If someone could explain this problem to me and the differences for why C is wrong and D is right, that'll be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much.

I would like to start by apologizing as I am sure there are similar posts that already exist. I was wondering the best way to get back into studying for the November test? I have been studying for a while now and sat for the September exam. Things did not go as planned (at all) and I am planning on canceling my score (waiting to hear back from LSAC regarding my testing center complaint before doing so though).

I was averaging around 160 on my PTs prior to the September test. Would it be beneficial to go through the CC again or are there other strategies that would be better since there are only two more months until the exam? I thought I was fine with LG (until the test came) so I plan to work harder on fool proofing. Additionally, I find RC to be a huge obstacle for me (I can score anywhere from -4 to -12). I don’t believe that LR is much of a challenge...

I do not want to wait another year (already delayed one cycle) so November seems to be my last shot. I took the past few days off from studying and am finding it hard to get back into the swing of things because I honestly just don’t know where to begin. I quit my full-time job a month before the September test and studied around 6-8 hours a day. I will not be working for the next two months either as I was luckily able to save up enough in case this scenario played out. So to prevent a long post from getting any longer, I’m really just looking for any recommendations!!!!

Thank you in advanced. This community is the best!

First of all, I am an LSAT 154 and GPA 2.64.

I definitely am not aiming for 1st tier law schools, I was wishing if I have a chance for 2nd tier.

With my terrible GPA, I start to worry even if any of the 2nd/3rd tier school would take me.

A little bit about myself, I am now 29, I moved out and became financially independent when I was 19, started my first law firm job when I was 20.

I have been working as a paralegal for 9 years, and my current position is in a fairly big firm, with my years of paralegal experience, my salary is now at 80k plus bonus and overtime.

However, when I worked and being financial stable for past years, I can only finish my Bachelor Degree with much longer time - 7 years. I was reckless to not care about my grades, I just wanted to finish the degree. I thought I will be fine being a paralegal for rest of my life.

But after 9 years of working, I now want to become a lawyer.

I am worried if I go to low ranked schools, I will get into attorney positions that offer lower salary than my current pay.

Some people advise me not to be a lawyer, because it may not be financially wise. I will have to stop working for 3 years plus law school loans, not to mention I still have a mortgage to pay.

But deep down I know I really want to be a lawyer.

What should I do? What do you guys think?

If I get rejected from my desired schools, should I go back to college and take more classes to bring up my GPA?

Another LSAT? Just go to low ranked school, my experience will help?

Or do you guys think I should just stay being a paralegal....:(

Hey guys! Im taking the LSAT in November. Ive been self studying a bit, but not really learning anything on my own. I need to really learn how to attack each question type in logical reasoning and logic games. My score on a timed prep test is 130. I scored 148 on an untimed prep test. I really need help to raise my timed score. What course do you recommend for such a short period of time? I study 12 hours a day, so I have the time to put into the courses. Thanks for your help!

I am trying to decide who to ask for letters for law school. I am going to ask one of my college professors, but since I have been out of college for about 5 years, I was also thinking about asking my boss, who managed me for three years. While I could ask another professor instead of my boss, I am not confident they'd be as capable of writing a great letter. Is better to have two professors or one profess and one manager?

Hello, everyone! I hope the LSAT prep is going as intended.

So, here's a question just out of curiosity. Why law? Why do we want to study law, and become lawyers?

I'm 3 years out of undergrad and I'm trying to figure out how many jobs to include in the employment history of my law school applications.

I have 5 full time jobs listed on my resume but I started working at McDonald's when I was 16 and in high school. Should I include all of my part-time work from high school and college? (retail, hospitality, food-service, etc.)

If I list every job (part-time/full-time) and include internships I will be at 17 jobs.

Any thoughts?

so i think this PSA Lr question hinges on whether you correctly understand the conclusion.

Can someone explain to me how

"how well an underground rock groups recordings sell is no mark of that group's success as an underground group" (what the stimulus says)

means the same as

"how well an underground rock groups recording sell is UNSUCCESSFUL?"

how does have something not have a mark on success mean it's unsuccessful? can't it just be irrelevant?

I'm really confused here- thank you!

When I graduated undergrad I ended with no extracurriculars. Worked 35 hours a week with 15-18 credit hours most of the time. I'm planning to take this lsat January and March. And apply ED to a school. Hopefully a t14. Which I guess would put me to attend law school fall of 2020. I was wondering if I should just attend grad school/ post bacc in that time. I'd basically be doing nothing anyway and I feel like I may want to get a dual law degree. Also I feel as thought doing well in another program would make my UGPA look like less of a negative on my application. I need guidance.

Apologies if this has been asked, but I have been in a semi-spirited debate with my wife about this. I've been in the workforce for the past 14 years (5 years as a federal employee at a three-letter agency and 8 years in the Army with extensive leadership experience and a combat deployment).

I was medically retired from the Army due to a mental illness that manifested itself immediately after I redeployed in 2014. (I am considered a disabled veteran by the VA).

Is this something that is worth brining up through a diversity statement? I am a little worried that disclosing an issue like this could impact me negatively, despite the fact that I am able to live/function with a service-connected issue.

Thanks in advance.

I originally wrote a diversity statement about the challenges of being an ethnic minority but I wrote another after learning UCLA has a section for socioeconomic disadvantage. Most schools only offer a place for one diversity statement. I've been struggling with which statement I should send to the other schools.

Is a socioeconomic diversity statement or ethnic diversity statement more compelling? Would it be better if I consolidate both at the risk of eliminating detail and having a less cohesive statement?

Hi Friends,

I have a dilemma that I would appreciate some insight on. I have taken the LSAT once (in June) and gotten a 160, which I wanted to improve significantly this September. I ended up going through a break up this past LSAT weekend and felt terrible throughout the test (I thought I was going to have to leave on multiple occasions because I was so nauseous). In addition, I did not finish three questions on the LG section. Other confounding factors that contributed include that I moved at the end of July to be with my ex in another city, keeping my old job and commuting to work 1.75 hours each direction daily. I was interviewing and was offered another position in order to be in the same city as my ex the week prior to the LSAT and accepted, so my entire life circumstances changed within about a month. I say this because I think all the turmoil on test day and leading up to it really affected my ability to focus and perform my best, both in June and last weekend.

Were you me in this situation, would you cancel and retake in November, or keep the score and retake in November? I know schools will see a cancellation, and I would also like to apply early decision, for which September is the last possible date they accept, so I would be gambling on the September score or using the 160, which I do not want to do... I also do not want three scores to look detrimental. I need to decide within about 24 hours, so any thoughts are greatly appreciated! Thanks so much.

Hey there! So many questions now that I've started digging through apps...

Do people typically list hours/week on resumes?

When apps say "list all educational institutions attended," does that include high school?

Does a speeding ticket from 5 years ago count as a C&F issue? I know Emory says explicitly it does and should be disclosed. Should I be safe and disclose for other schools too?

Is there a good piece of advice anywhere on whether to do a GPA addendum? I'm leaning against doing so, because I don't have a great reason. (It'd be something like: I was very involved in a time-consuming extracurricular/didn't think I was going to school beyond undergrad/it's been 3 years since I've graduated and I've grown, yada yada...) AKA, I think it'd sound whiny and excuse-ridden.

And lastly, an unimportant technical question: on some schools' apps, LSAC auto-fills in a *****XXXX for my SSN. Should I re-type my SSN in full in the box below that?

THANK YOU

Hi everyone,

I identify predominantly as Latina (Mexican-American and Spanish) but I also identify somewhat as Native American because my father (whose family I do not know well because he passed away a long time ago) have a lot of Native American blood. Because I am not in touch with his side of the family, I wasn't even 100% sure that I was Native American until I did 23andme and it proved that I was nearly 40% Native American. I am still in the process of getting more in touch with my Native American heritage and thus, do not have the paperwork to prove that I am Native American or which tribe I'm from. And to be quite honest, even if I were to reconnect with my father's family, they would likely not have any paperwork or proof to assist me.

The problem is: A school like UC Davis requires me to list which tribe I am part of and my Native American card number--all things I do not have. What should I do? Should I apply to other schools as Latina and Native American and just apply to UC Davis as Latina--or should I reach out to Admissions and explain my situation?

I am planning on writing a diversity statement and now it feels like I'm in an odd place because I can't identify myself as Native American on one application even though I know I have more Native American blood than some people who have the paperwork to prove it (no offense meant here--but I have met people who are like 12% Native American and have all their paperwork and it feels frustrating that I can't "prove" myself).

As of now I have two LORs. One from one of my favorite professors and another from a Dean who mentored me throughout undergrad. Does the letter from the Dean in this case count as an Academic LOR?

Hi all! Is anyone planning on going to the WCC Law fair held in SF this weekend?

Also, few general law fair questions: Is this a biz casual affair or am I pulling a Jessica from Suits? Should I bring my resume? What type of questions do they expect candidates to ask? If you went to a law fair, was it helpful for you? And most importantly, do they give out fee waivers at the table?

Hey y'all -- thought I'd shoot this out out to the community because I need sage advice.

I applied to 8 Canadian law schools last cycle and was rejected by all of them. Ouch, I know. This was before I started my 7Sage journey. I wrote my first and only LSAT exam in December 2017, and went into it with all of my applications submitted and a vaulting sense of over-confidence (the ego bruises still hurt, friends). I scored a 143, didn't cancel my score because I was a rookie, and then watched as the rejections flew in one-by-one. LSAT score notwithstanding, I wholeheartedly believe that my applications (complete with my transcripts, letters of recommendation, and personal statements) were strong. With my second write taking place this November, I'm once again preparing my applications for each school (yes, I'm a shameless creature).

This brings me to my question: would you recommend that I reuse my same personal statement from last year for each of my applications this year? I'd like to keep the majority of it the same and make some minor adjustments, yet don't know if it'll reflect badly on my application...

For your consideration:

Things that have changed since I wrote my personal statement last year:

- I started an intensive LSAT study schedule with 7Sage (heeeey).

- I've (finally) learned to prioritize my mental and physical health/wellbeing through various new steps (mindful and balanced eating, implementing a daily running regimen). This is a huge part of my daily life and has had an enormous impact on my outlook and general health.

- I'm now officially a year out of undergrad, whereas when I wrote my personal statement before, I had just graduated and wrote from that perspective.

Things that have not changed since I wrote my personal statement (and are included in my statement already):

- I still work as an executive assistant for a local environmental firm (only now more hours)

- I'm still a regular volunteer at the plethora of places I'm involved with (the list is too long to type out here, friends)

- My professional goals and aspirations are steadfast :)

All advice is welcome -- I'm all ears!

I took the September 8th LSAT and doing my retakes in November, I am taking this week off from studying before I jump back into the LSAT Study grind so I figured I would use this time to not worry about the LSAT and focus on something more relaxing: my law school applications and would love to get some feedback on my personal statement. If you send me your personal statement I would be more than happy to read over it and give you some serious feedback, I love helping others make something they have written even better. I am currently working on my diversity statement and would love to get some one to read that as well, if you are interested message so we can exchange info. September test takers, hope you are enjoying your break!

side note: the fact that I find working on my law school applications almost soothing as compared to studying for the LSAT is very telling...

I'm ordering my CAS report and my cumulative GPA is 3.492...a very annoying number. Should I choose the category of 3.5-3.74 or 3.0-3.49? I really want to choose the first one haha but don't know if I really belong there:(

Will choosing either one have any advantage/disadvantage?

Hey guys, for this MBT question, my gut instinct told me that the third sentence is a conditional. I interpreted it as if you reflect the cost —> would pollute less. If this is correct, how would I incorporate the second sentence into it, / reflect cost—> /affect decision to drive? I’m having a hard time seeing the overlap between these two statements.

Thanks again for your input! :)

Hello. I took a two month, in-person course at Blueprint for the September exam but decided that I hadn't reached my personal LSAT ceiling just yet. I'm familiar with most of the concepts, but now am a bit lost as to how I should make use of the remaining 10 weeks to improve my score from low to mid 160s (163-165) to high 160s or 170. Should I focus on timed exams? Stick to the study schedule generated by 7Sage? Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hey everyone! So, I've been studying for the November LSAT since the beginning of summer but have recently started to really pick up the pace (I was super busy in the summer but have way more free time now). While I've seen some improvement from my original prep test, I seem to have reached a plateau. I can't seem to get past 165-166. After every prep test, I BR, then go through the question types that I got wrong. When I go through the lessons and drills of those question types, I legitimately get every question right before JY's explanation. Is my issue just the timed aspect of the prep tests? Therefore, should I abandon focusing on the content and focus instead on taking more timed prep tests and see if that improves my score? I know I'm slightly pressed for time as well, but not sure if I should fork over the fee to postpone the exam. Any thoughts or suggestions, maybe similar experiences, would be very welcome!

Hey guys, is it generally true of the 2 LR sections in the test, one section is harder than the other one? I find that I tend to do better in one LR section than the other one. And when I am doing the test, one LR section I find reasonable. Then I do the other LR section, and I think, wow this one is significantly harder. Wondering if anyone else has similar experience.

I am planning on writing optional essay #1 for Duke as I feel my personal statement doesn't fully address why law school is the next step for me, but I was curious as to how long these essays typically are. Should it be 2 pages like a PS or less?
