  • This one is all about the F/N allocation. It also kind of hinges on J-G-R and what clues you get from the questions. When I went back and did it just now, I arrived at most of my answers by taking the tiny piece of info the question gave me, filling…
  • And be honest about how many times you had to read the Mate question
  • Can't wait for the LG YouTube vids!
  • Yeah, from what I understand, that restriction is for full time students. UH and UT anyway (admittedly a small sample, but those are the only schools I'm looking at) restrict full timers to 20 hrs per week. UT doesn't have part time, but UH does, an…
  • What's your opinion on adding a diversity statement for LGBT candidates? Also, how would that go over in a "red state" like Texas where LGBT rights are actively opposed in government? Would it be wise to concentrate on this topic or just not mention…
  • On the test, I glazed thru the game, the rules, and then I even took a peek at the questions, before going in and transcribing the rules visually and making it happen. Take for example the television show lineup game on PT 65 game 4 where they give …
  • I just don't find full-time to be viable.. I'm 30 with a job/mortgage and Mommy doesn't pay my way, either. I just don't see being around 30k in the red (the cost of law school per year roughly) and another 30-40k in the red due to the income I make…
  • This is a good one. I can't reveal the specific content, but I'll say that there was a similar question on the June test. It's sort of like a hybrid principle/parallel/whatever question. It goes to show that the heart of Logical Reasoning is the ar…
  • You might be somewhat accurate.. for example.. UT's "early admission" reward is like 10,000 per year. To be eligible for that for this cycle, you'd need to have an October score. Taking it in December would miss the cutoff date. (Not saying you're a…
  • Yeah I was curious about something. I'm not a K-JD type student. I didn't even go to college right out of High School. I finished my AS, then a few years later my BS, and now I'm finishing my MA. I am 30. I have spent all my adult years in the workf…
  • I actually also have the manhattan grouped by problem type.. unmarked for the most part

  • Welp.. if previous tests are truly useless, then you should get 180 on each and every one, correct? Chances are that's not going to happen.. I went back thru a lot of old materials that I once used and still got several questions wrong. Taking a pre…
  • I love the games. It's the closest thing to "fun" you're gonna get on the LSAT. I really wish I got both AR sections on test day but noooo I had to trudge thru 3 LR sections. I enjoyed approaching it by game type. I started with the freebies like …
  • You're doing the right thing by starting early, sir or madam. Since you said you're undergrad, you have to be at least in the last semester of it, if not farther away. That's definitely the right time to start.. not the summer before law school! Abo…
  • I'll go ahead and be the devil on your shoulder here. I think a 169 is an absolutely incredible score that I would just accept and move on. I mean.. if you're a splitter, you will inevitably receive a lower aid package at these top flight schools …
  • ^ what that guy said. My diagnostic? IDK.. I didn't really approach this in a formulaic manner. I just bought the PTs and dove in. I never even took a class. I couldn't, with my work and school schedule. Self prep does work.. at the end of the day,…

  • Yeah I think a lot of people dive into this like "oh man I'm gonna get that 180 I'm gonna get in everywhere and get all these scholarships and I'm the best and I can do it. That's a great attitude, but it might not be realistic to materialize. This …
  • First of all, the arguments in PT7 and other earlier PTs are weird. I like them, but they are not as relevant as later tests to the current questions asked on the LSAT. They can certainly assist with analyzing arguments, but just be aware that some …
  • Yeah well you bring up an interesting question.. whether or not the "immersion" in the study of this test is worth it, healthy, viable, advisable, etc. I'd argue that it is.. only if you don't have a great deal of time. Ideally, though, you'd spend …
  • As another working adult, this thought has plagued me since yesterday when I saw my 165.. It's enough to get into a realistic school that has a PT program (which I pretty much need to do so I can work) and with PT programs at my school, there is no …
  • @kevinmdunshee congrats on the score, that's really amazing. I re-did the games tonight and I still think that they are definitely hard as hell. No shame there. You must have whupped the other sections to come out with what you did. I think I did as…

  • Hey this is pretty cool.. you can see the entire test in PDF format.. I am gonna punch this magazine game in its face. I can't believe that even though I could have sworn I got zero, I only got one wrong on it! WTFFFFFFFF

  • I studied about 2 months all together. The conversion table is such: 100 questions total, 10 wrong was 170, 17 wrong was 165. My section by section was: LR1 -5 LR2 -4 RC -5 AR -3 Which is absolutely ridiculous because I could have sworn I knock…

  • @myin Ah yes, you are right. I did mean "capable." It's easy to get confused with negations. Thank you. @Pacifico.. At the point that the future occurs, then and only then would it become provable. The argument dates back to Aristotle and the futur…
  • Good question. The stim defines navigation as "the animal's ability to find its way from unfamiliar territory to points familiar to the animal but beyond the immediate range of the animal's senses." The evidence the naturalists hold up is an exampl…
  • Same.. I blazed myself into like -23 points on the games. I really have to pull on the reins next time around for the games and RC. I intend to solve for a lot more possibilities up front.. and I am considering skipping the 5 question game (if there…
