Hi everyone!

Can someone please help me with this question. I can't understand why C is wrong at all. I got it down to A and C and ended up picking C.

cant C be correct because if drinking one glass doesn't cause deficiency in vitamin D, that means there would be enough calcium absorbed by an aging persons body for them to lower their blood pressure.

thoughts?

So I'm taking my first LSAT in February, and I do work a full time job but plan on taking the Friday before the lsat off in order to have one last day of study. Now I usually study 3-4 hours Mon-Thurs and 12-16hrs on the weekend. But I want to get some advice on what I should be doing the day before the lsat. I was thinking about practice tests but I don't want to be burnt out either. So what should I study or do in order to give me a better chance for the lsat the next day.

Hi everyone! I'm pretty new to 7sage, but I've been reading a lot of the discussion posts and they are so incredibly helpful, so thank you for that!! I just took the December LSAT, and I had also signed for the February LSAT--- just in case things didn't go well. For those who are waiting for their scores and potentially planning on taking the test in February, how are you all studying? I admit I haven't been devoting the same number of hours studying as I was during the months leading up to December 2nd. I think it's partially due to the fact that I am waiting in anticipation for my scores, but I'm also trying to balance working on the soft factors of my law school applications as well. If any of you have any insight or experience with studying while waiting for your scores, I would greatly appreciate them! :)

if we are to solve a strengthen, or Sa or PSA type of a question, if we see the word Principle in the Question stem. Are we to assume that that question makes use of conditional Logic necessarily? Also does the SA question always make use of conditional Logic?

Hello,

I have a general question about negating statements that is bothering me as I'm working through necessary assumption questions! My question is, do we negate BOTH "not" elements in a statement in order to properly negate it, or just one? For example:

"Lawrence did not get the idea in the passages in questions or did not get their formulations originally from Hartley"

To negate, do we take away both of the "nots" or just one?

Another example:

"Those who do not know a language cannot hear the way speech in that language actually sounds"

To negate, do we say "Those who do know a language cannot hear the way speech in that language actually sounds" or do we say "Those who do know a language can hear the way speech in that language actually sounds"?

Thanks and I hope this makes sense!

Does anything have a good understanding of how purchasing CAS works? When I try to purchase it, it says it expires in January. Is this a one-time buy or is there a reason it says it expires?

UGGGH...

I feel so blank currently. I know what topic I want to write about, and I have currently wrote two copies of this PS but they're basic criteria of what I have to say in 500 words or less. I'm also not applying to a top rated school. I'm from WV so I'm staying close to home for school so I will be applying to surrounding areas. I am new to writing these, and no lie, I am quiet discouraged about this. I have the basic admissions course, but I really don't want to pay anymore towards upgrading because money is not something I want to "throw around" right now. I would love somebody to read my first go around at this, but I also don't want them to be like "Uh this is terrible. Just stop now."

Soooooo.. I need some help but not discouragement. If this makes sense.

currently fake laughing to calm my nerves

If anybody has any advice, that would be great. If anybody wants to read it and be opened minded, that would be great also. lol

I have a very specific question. When an app status goes from complete to under review, does this necessarily mean that literally an adcom officer has opened up my file and is looking/has evaluated it OR does it simply mean that it's now on the queue and ready for review by adcom? I asked a few schools and it's really confusing because the admissions office staff either didn't sound too sure about their answers or sometimes two different people in the office gave me conflicting information.

Has anyone had an issue with printing our the preview of their application? When I print from Firefox, some of the text from my personal statement comes out in a different font. When I print from chrome, there's no problem.

I called LSAC tech support but they don't have a solution. I don't want law schools to print my app and have it coming out looking funky. I verified all formatting was correct and re-uploaded in PDF format instead of .docx. Same result. Chrome is fine, Firefox is not. No difference whether I use Mac or PC.

Hi everyone! I've been lurking for a while but this is my first time posting. I realized tonight as I was about to submit an application that I hadn't actually paid for CAS (which explained why I wasn't getting promotional emails unlike all of my friends). I panicked and just paid for it, but based on my understanding my application won't be read until CAS does its magic. Is that true? If it is, there's no reason for me to submit now, since I might as well work on my personal statement in the meantime. Does anyone have a sense for how long it takes during this time of the year, since I imagine they must be incredibly backed up?

Thanks!

Hello everyone,

I am currently filling out a law school application form and there is a section that asks me, "Do you believe your LSAT score accurately represents your past performance or future promise?" If you bubble in "No," it gives you 1000 characters to explain yourself, and I believe this serves as the addendum because there is no section where you can upload a file to serve as an addendum.

I also understand that you should not write an addendum if you do not have a REALLY good reason other than wishing you had done better. At the end of the day, I did not get my desired score despite all my hard work. However, in my heart, I do not believe my LSAT score accurately represents my ability to succeed in law school. I feel like I should not write an addendum because I don't have a really good reason other than I underperformed.

Therefore, my question is:

Do you guys suggest I write within the 1000 characters given or should I just press "No?" If I press "No," will law schools see that and view it negatively (believing that I believe it accurately represents my ability to succeed)? I don't want to press "No" with a score below their median and have it hurt me or have them think negatively of me.

Thank you for reading this and for the replies I hope to get.

Wondering if I should/need to include an addendum for a wive range of LSAT scores. I took to LSAT back in 2015 and scored miserably due to testing anxiety to the test and not doing well on standardized testing in general, as opposed to taking a normal test for a class in college. I knew I should have cancelled my score but ultimately (and stupidly) decided not to. One year later in 2016 I took it again and scored 15 points higher. I just took the December test hoping to improve even further. Would an addendum be necessary/helpful to address this or would it draw unneeded attention to it?

Any kind of feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Hi! I was waitlisted by my first choice school:/I applied early decision, Ive already toured the campus, sat in a class and met with the Dean of Students so Im not sure as to what more I can do besides sending in a LOCI, does anyone have any advice or tips on being waitlisted? TYA!!!!!!!!

I want to apply now, but I don’t have my December scores yet. Do I have to call each school individually and tell them to hold off until my December scores are available? And do they automatically get the scores once LSAC releases them ?

Hi everyone,

I am currently trying to decide whether to take the February 2018 LSAT or the June 2018 LSAT. Starting my studies, I knew I wanted to get at least a 173. So, when I started studying in June of 2017 and got a 153, I was a little worried. However, I took a course and finished with a 165 in September of 2017. I had to take basically a semester off from studying, and have just been able to get back into it since school ended for winter break. My strategy now is to take around 3 tests a week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday). I've been able to take four tests so far, and I've gotten a 166, 167, 170, and 174 in that order. Since I have improved a lot in a short period, I was thinking that it would be okay to take the February LSAT so long as I continue to consistently score in 170s, preferably above 172. My only concern is that I improved by 9 points basically in a week and a half, and I guess it hasn't soaked in yet that I'm in my desired range. It would make me feel a lot better if I consistently scored in my target range for a long time. However, it would be really nice to get the LSAT out of the way, and I am worried that I will run out of practice tests to take between now and June.

What do you think?

Hello all,

Would anyone be willing to give an addendum that I've drafted a quick read through? I chose to write one briefly explaining my age as it is well below the average age of those entering law school. I'm not sure if an "addendum trade" is a thing but I'd be happy to take a look at someone else's in exchange for their thoughts on mine.

Thanks!

I am getting ready to write my personal statement and I'm considering touching on the fact that I worked while on the wrong visa (illegally) while abroad for years (and years). I was then detained and deported (deported light, not technically deported but visa cancelled, kicked out of the country and only the most minimum restrictions on returning). This is after my passport was withheld from me for a month while the company was being investigated. In the end, the company negotiated some 'fines' and I really got the worst of it, largely because my visa had expired during the period it was being held by the police. I was able to return shortly thereafter.

My question is whether or not my willful acceptance of working in that legal grey, although admittedly a dark grey, area should preclude me from addressing the topic?

I've weaved my disability into my personal statement pretty well, but I just wanted to know if I should write a diversity statement as well. I'm not sure what I could discuss that isn't already included in my PS.

What's going to give me the best chance of standing out and getting extra funding? Thanks!

I started to enjoy the RC section when I started to enjoy learning from it. And outside knowledge definitely helps when it comes to RC.

I used to think I know about art, but by reading the art LSAT passages, I learned that I have absolutely no idea about art history! My go-to YouTube channel for science is CrashCourse, but I haven't been able to find a good channel for art history (Khan Academy's lessons seemed too detailed....)

Recently I found Art History - Overview Videos from Phil Hansen (21 videos).

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXVuKomahjzdNOrden8thb8HWbvJZK71w

I've been watching these videos whenever I get bored with studying in the order of Art History Timeline (yes, it's Art History For Dummies website. lol), so I thought I'd share these with you!

Let me know if there are any YouTube videos or websites that help us with art history! :)
