Hey guys!

I've seen lots of great posts about listening to podcasts, reading books, or watching informational youtube videos on subject matter that you struggle with. However, I have yet to come across something that deals with agriculture. I don't know what particularly it is about this topic that just baffles me and I'm trying to familiarize myself with it. If anyone has any suggestions for books or podcasts or any other media form I can engage with for my benefit, it would be much appreciated!

Premises: 1) a survey of 17-year-old has found that many who do not drink report having taken a pledge to refrain from drinking; 2) almost who drink report having never taken such a pledge

I wonder whether what these premises establish is a mere association (some weaker form of correlation) instead of a correlation???

Does anyone have recommendations on main conclusion questions? I am struggling in that category and can not seem to get it down. Seems like my biggest problem is finding the conclusion and premise when there is nothing but an argument starting with But,although, and however. The easier questions I don't seem to have issues with, its when we start getting towards that the harder questions.

longtime submarine here. just had to share. almost wish I were making this up.

first night, I dreamed that my score was six points lower than my target score.

second night, I dreamed that my score was SEVEN points lower than my target score.

last night, I dreamed that I got the email, opened the mail app on the phone, but the message was corrupted/glitched and crashed the app, forcing me to check the LSAC website on the computer, only to find out that I messed up the bubbling for biological information and the test score was cancelled as a result.

pretty worried what the dream will be tonight lolol.

Hey everyone! If I need to add something to my application after I already submitted it, can I do so? I realized my doctor didn't fill out one question, and I originally didn't think it was crucial, but now I'm thinking it may be necessary. Any advice on how to go about this?

I can't imagine how informative and fruitful law school fairs and campus recruiting events must be for y'all Americans, but yesterday I had a chance to meet a few school reps who came to visit my city in Canada. It was my first time meeting anyone from the admission committee, talk about the process outside the online 7sage forum, and was shocked to see so many other eager and passionate applicants (in real life).

It was overall a very uplifting experience because I could really see the passion they had for their programs. Well, I got to meet one of the Assistant Deans for a school I was interested in applying, and I instantly bonded with her over our passion for biotechnology and drug discovery! I worked as an anti-cancer research assistant for a couple of years before taking this route as a law school applicant. Turns out she was also heading the Innovations & IP clinic of that school. I think I ended up talking to her for about 20 minutes and then she asked for my personal contact before I left the fair.

This morning, I got in touch with an IP law professor of that school (who happens to be very famous in the scientific world for her research), who happens to work with pharmaceutical and biotech firms in the city the school is located in. I had a phone call after that and she got me in contact with the people who can help me secure a summer job in their R&D department even before law school started. This is super exciting!

Of course, I need to work really hard to meet their median LSAT score on the November exam to be a qualified applicant, but the moral of the story is, when you are genuinely interested in a school's program, do your homework, and ask questions nicely, the reps will guide you in a way and help open doors for you. Just wanted to share some positivity during this anxious time!

I have taken a few weeks to focus on admissions stuff, but the September LSAT didn't go well for me. I panicked on RC and the first LR, i have always had pretty severe test anxiety and it really hit me hard on test day. I did okay on the second LR and after the break i calmed down and the last two sections went fine. All in all I expect to be about ten points or more below a good practice test, which is obviously quite disappointing.

Overall though, its not a big deal. Writing in September was an important experience, and i'm looking forward to seeing my score so i can review and see what I can improve on. Pretty much thanks to reading and exploring these forums I have come to realize that writing more than once, although not ideal isn't a big deal either and what is important is showing long term improvement. I have been forcing myself to read an old economist front to back every day and the last few days i started prepping again, I did two timed RC sections and scored -3 on each, tied for best two scores on timed RC so far. I'm optimistic i can really do well in November, I feel way less anxiety and I will be more prepared. If anyone else bombed September just wanted to let people know there's other people out there in the same boat and looking forward to crushing November with whoever decides to write then! I remember after the test i found solace in reading other peoples horror stories and realizing i'm not alone in my bad test so i figured i would pay back now, right before scores are released. Goodluck!

Hey future lawyers,

I will be applying to a few schools in New York this cycle. I was wondering where do these students live. Housing in the city is unreasonable, and the commute from other burrows can be quite far. Do students just take out loans for housing? Plus it seems like most NY schools don't provide housing. What's going on NY law students?

.

... so I recently decided to go all-in and buy the exact same pencils J.Y. uses in his live videos.

They arrived today so I had to try them out on a fresh PT. I just got my first 180.

It works guys, I promise!

Hi,

when i upgraded my 7sage account, i seem to have lost my scores for PTs I took prior to upgrading.

Can i get it back for records?

Yo so I have a question about the "Education" Section of some schools' applications. For instance, Harvard asks you to "list the academic honors, awards, or other recognitions you have received."

I was an almost straight-A student, so I got Dean's List (GPA of 3.50+), Provost's Honor Roll (GPA of 3.75+), and President's Honor Roll (4.0) nearly every semester. But am I actually supposed to list all of these? It seems really redundant to have 20 entries all saying the same thing ... wouldn't these show up on the transcripts anyway?

Also, if anyone is in Phi Beta Kappa, what did you put for the "description"? Just "Honor Society"? There's a pretty small character limit. Same question with summa cum laude----"top 5% of class"?

I know these questions may be dumb and I might be nitpicking, but I just want to make sure I'm doing this right ...

Thanks for all the help guys

Hey guys, so some schools ask you to list the other law schools that you're applying to. Some say it's optional; others don't specify, but still allow it to go unanswered.

Do you guys answer this question? I feel like listing other schools could backfire if an admissions committee interprets it as a lack of specific interest in their particular school.

After practicing some timed tests, I've finally accepted that I won't be able to do every single problem and have to learn to give up some problems. So what type of problems do you guys skip? Like what's your criteria to skip a problem and how long does it take you to make that decision?

Hi everyone,

I am trying to submit "Why School X" statements for my top 5 law schools. But I don't know where to add them as they are not listed as part of the application.

Thanks!

I'm probably getting caught up over trivial details, but what do you guys put for "Step two: Describe the file" when submitting your personal statement on law school apps? Just "Personal Statement"? Same question for "Why School X"/"Why Lawyer" essays.

Hi there!

I have printed out all of the problem sets after each lesson and I went through all of them and watched the video explanations on this as well. My question is - do you recommend me also going through the question bank as well? I'm not sure if I should start practice tests now or continue on to the question bank after completing all pdf problem sets.

Thank you for your help!

I was listening to a podcast about law, and the topic for that episode was how tech was impacting law. Most people agree that tech will reduce law opportunities and jobs in the future, and increase competition, but one exception was if the employee was properly trained in using new technology in law. The analogies I imagined when they mentioned this was a financial analyst who is a master in excel and python, or a industrial designer who is proficient in AutoCAD or Rhino.

So my question is if you guys know any schools that focus on teaching their students the newest in law-tech? I know northwestern has a few programs that introduce law tech to students, but I can't find anything for other schools.

I wanted to know if there is a general trend among people to feel one question type as more difficult than the other. So I added ones where I seem to have most frequent errors.

What do you guys think?

Hey guys!

I was hoping someone could possibly shed some light on this question. My break down of the stimulus is:

Conclusion: all whale- hunting should be banned

Premise 1: a ban on the whaling of endangered species cannot be enforced without banning the whaling of all other species

Premise 2: hunting endangered whale species should be banned

When I read the explanation in the book, they mention that premise 1 tells us that “a choice has to be made: either we do without an effective ban on the hunting of endangered species or else we ban the hunting of nonendangered species. The argument comes down in favour of banning the hunting of nonendangered species but provides no justification for preferring this choice over the alternative”

The problem I’m having is that I initially viewed that as a conditional statement. I dont see how we could chose between two options.

Any insight on this would be super helpful!

Thanks guys! :)

Hey guys, so Necessary Assumptions I was having problems with, but finally I fixed that!! But now these questions are so annoying. I feel like they are time traps for sure, and if I follow the trying to match similar phrasing of the conclusions and premise, I feel I waste alot of time and it distracts me from the point. Do you like to change the stimulus to ( A B C etc) or do you just take note of the stimulus format? If possible, if someone can tell me their thought process in attacking these problems, where we dont kill so much time! That would help so much! Thank you!

Hello all,

Been studying in San Diego and looking for study buddies. Hoping to get a good group together for PTs. I live in La Jolla, but am willing to meet mostly anywhere in the county.

I am rereading PS Bible for MSS/MBT and encountered this statement (FYI; I am using 2017 edition; page 122)

The statement is "many people have some type of security system in their home"

PS classifies this reverse statement "some people have many type of security system in their home" as wrong;

while reading, I did have the sense that the statement is wrong; but I am interested in the logic behind this reversal;

I thought many is some; wouldn't these two statements be the same or am i missing something?

Hey guys, I have a question about the "Education" section of some schools' applications. If anyone's in Phi Beta Kappa, what did you put for the "Description"? "Honor Society"? There's a pretty small character limit.
