@rjp12345 Thanks for your input! Yeah what I have is 2 sentences. I think I just second guess myself because I would gladly provide one if asked for but I'm always trying to think if an admissions officer would say "sooooooo...why did you write this…
@luckyPenny85 There is a feature within the LSAC where you can "resend" the automated email from LSAC to your recommender. I did this to one of my recommenders who had probably forgotten and they submitted within 24 hours afterwards.
If you're nerv…
I'm incredibly sorry to anyone that had a less than optimal testing experience. Just in case anyone is reading this worrying "Oh my gosh, is EVERY test like that?", this was my third (unfortunately, lol) Flex test and it went off without a hitch (as…
@karko2525 - Not alone... August was my second take and I scored the same as I did in May which was also 4 (now 5) points below my PT average. I wanted so bad to be done with full proofing games and spending my days staring at LR questions. But its …
@FutureLawyer77 try finding to find an optimal process for how you take an LR section. That includes, how many questions to skip, how much time you spend on questions on the first round, how much time you would want ideally to go back and check answ…
@hopefulling
Thanks for your input! I think if you collapse my "hypocrite" and "past actions" categories into a a single category such as Tu Quoque (which now looking at it I think makes sense) then I think that maps on exactly to your taxonomy.
Arg.. I had LR (lions/leopards) - RC (universe expansion) - LG (the one with the pottery and mosaics)
@"Heinz Doofenshmirtz" Yes I had the same LR section. I thought it was harder than usual. Did anyone else feel like that LR was particularly hard?…
Heads up to anyone who has Apple OS Catalina (latest Mac OS). I had some tech issues in the beginning regarding screen sharing. Don't think it adversely affect my performance so this is not a complaint or anything but had to wait a decent amount of …
@Markmark I recently same to the same realization about how subtly different strengthen/weakening pure causation vs hypothesis/phenomenon questions.
I think this is just another way to say the same thing but what I tell my self is often in hypothes…
@ciacduan thanks for your input!
My musings about this tell me that it’s slightly different from an MSS question type, however. The key difference is that with MSS in LR you can put together any two random pieces of information and it would be most…
I voted for option 2 but I think it would be beneficial to add that you don't need to forgo all the P-Sets on your first go around. E.g., if you don't really "get" necessary assumptions then from the videos then maybe do a problem set or two of that…
Couldn’t be more normal. When you first start out, you are going to have certain weak spots and because the test fluctuates somewhat in terms of what it focuses on you are going to perform better on the tests that play to your strengths and vice-ver…
@joeyshulik44 I've struggled with PSA (but also principle questions as well) and my issue has never been the SA component but rather the even more hyper-vague and opaque language that LSAC seems to deploy on principle questions.
Making sure during …
Nice! You're on the right path, 1-5 times wasn't enough for me; it's taken me 10+ times to get familiar with and be able to recognize harder games (and I'm still not all the way there).
Another key thing to focus on is to MASTER (like absolutely MA…
How many games have you FP'd? The issue might have something to do with a lack of familiarity with all of the different variations of the types of games.
You know you're in a good spot when a lot of the games you see on a fresh PT either fall into …
J.Y.'s videos are really helpful as well in terms of how he draws a picture of what is happening.
Often under timed pressure you don't have the luxury of going into the same amount of depth but sometimes a quick chicken scratch drawing of the diffe…
I'm in the same boat and have asked for mine now. Figures this gives them 2-3 months which is plenty of time and in case I need to follow up I can do that after having given them a reasonable amount of time already
@CharlotteK Would it be possible to ask for a reference from someone in the organization that knows your work well but that is not your direct supervisor? When I had to ask for references for leaving my first job to my second, I asked my account exe…
@99thPercentileOrDieTryin
For logical reasoning I do skip the hard questions - never seem to get too bogged down in the difficult ones though (the days of catching myself spending 2-3 minutes upfront on a question that I should skip and return to a…
