Wow, thank you, 7Sage! This community is the best ❤️

I saved considerable space on my résumé by getting rid of bullet points and just using paragraphs. See examples: https://law.yale.edu/student-life/career-development/students/toolkit-student-job-seekers/resume-advice-samples

Could you talk about Cookie Cutter Review if you have time for this session? What is your method of Cookie Cutter Review in your LR and RC? Thanks! Same. I'd love to hear about your cookie cutter binder!

In reviewing LR, I found one of the few questions that does test the difference between claim and argument: PT81.S3.Q21.

Whenever I encounter a double negative that gives me trouble, I rephrase it in my own words. PT46.S2.Q10 is a good example of this. You can rephrase "X is not indispensable" to "X is not essential."

here's a spreadsheet that's often floated around on reddit: https://www.dropbox.com/s/33ei4bdli29e4sh/What to Expect When You're Expecting (LSAC 17-18 & 18-19 Cycles)-2.xlsx?dl=0

A related question: how do you print a protected PDF without the watermark? Whenever I print, there's always huge text saying "This document x was purchased by y" across each page.

I'm pretty sure the proctor app's clock is sped up. I always set the app to 33 minutes and it always calls time when my real analog watch hits the 33-minute mark.
-
If you want to get used to time pressure, I recommend using the Pomodoro technique during study sessions. Focusing with a ticking clock in the background will eventually become second nature, hopefully during timed PTs as well.

Checking the rules against the acceptable situation question one rule at a time reinforces what each rule looks like on the game board. More importantly, it provides a checkpoint for catching errors in your rule notation. If you check a rule you've …

An extra LOR is really useful to have in case you get waitlisted and want to send additional supporting materials to bolster your case.

Agreed with the above responses. I approach principle PSA pretty much the same way I do an SA question because they're so similar. The only difference is that an SA answer choice makes the argument completely airtight/valid, whereas a PSA comes real…

@monaalsaidi There was a big clock on the wall in the dining hall. Not sure about the other rooms.

My experience at Queens College in Flushing was pretty good. There were a ton of people last December and check-in took about an hour. They were really strict. They checked my bag like 3 times and even checked our pockets. That said, they were effic…

Hi Juan, sounds interesting -- I'd be happy to! Will send you a message.

Adding PT46.S3.Q20 to the list! Conclusion: genetic engineering is not unethical Premise: genetic engineering is just like selective breeding
-
You could look into AmeriCorps. Service is usually for 11 months, but there are 6 month-long positions, too.
-
Agreed with the above posts. NA is often weak compared to SA, but it's certainly not a hard and fast rule. An argument with a strong conclusion will call for a strong necessary assumption. In some arguments, especially simple ones, the correct answe…

My suggestion is a blog post about making a choice between big law (take the $$$) and public interest (follow your passion), perhaps from the perspective of someone who's done both.

In one of the live commentary videos, JY advised bubbling after each two-page spread, with your right hand bubbling in the scantron and your left hand pointing directly to the question you're bubbling in (if you're right-handed; vice versa if left-h…

Thank you! You all are awesome!

I would treat these complete the blank Q's as must be true/most strongly supported Q's. The idea is the same -- to push out an inference from the stimulus. The inference can be either a premise or conclusion, but either way, it must be supported by …
-
For Strengthen Q's, I identify the P and C, and try to understand the gap in reasoning. Instead of predicting a specific answer choice, I just try to keep an open mind. If it's a causal or phenomenon/hypothesis argument, look for an answer choice th…
-
Great analysis! JY used the word "pegging" to describe it in the PT82 BR calls, but "tethering" sounds good, too. I just remember the form as: Argument: "A is effective [or any other adjective], because A is as effective as B." Assumption: B is ef…

This is a really hard weaken Q. The argument goes like this: P: Activite offers a free month's supply to new customers. P: If Activite weren't effective, this free offer would go against the company's interest. C: Activite must be effective. The…

For what it's worth, my score for C2 when I took it was right around my average, so I wouldn't totally disqualify it from your PT average. There was no particularly hard game in LG and I thought RC was pretty straightforward. LR seemed par for the c…

A claim is a statement that's not necessarily supported by a premise. For example, a stimulus can say, "Psychologists claim X. But they're wrong because Y." Here, the author's argument is disputing a claim. If you have say, "Psychologists claim X be…

For weaken Q's, I identify the premises and conclusion, then try to understand the gap in reasoning or assumptions made. I think, how could the premises be true, but the conclusion NOT true? To weaken a causation or phenom/hypothesis argument, (1) …
