Hello, thank you all for your time this evening! I had a quick additional question about writing an addendum. I have heard that a STEM to non-STEM major switch, accompanied by an increased GPA from a low one, is a pretty common occurrence among pros…
Don't bank your hopes on it, but also try and refresh the scheduling screen (not obsessively, but a few times a day, maybe) to see if a more ideal time slot becomes available. I'm taking the test in S. Korea and originally could only find a 5:50 am …
Thanks for setting this up @"Cant Get Right" & big congrats!
Given your initial plans and overall experience, would you say law school was worth it for you, at least at this point in time? Not intending to spoil the anticipation, but a little s…
Paralegal here! Echoing "quality over quantity" and to that I'd add consistency and planning a timeframe most days of the week you can and will consecrate to studying.
I was working FT plus had another PT gig when I began re-studying for my LSAT. I…
Thanks, @"Matt Sorr"! I know it's anyone's best prediction, so maybe should've prefaced it that way. I second your line of reasoning, but I guess we'll just wait and see. Best of luck on your LSAT/apps!
If anyone's curious, there's been an update: https://www.reuters.com/legal/legalindustry/aba-council-seeks-views-fate-law-school-admissions-tests-2022-05-20/

In the podcast, Brittney references a book (or series of books) from Big Ideas, Simply Explained. I was looking into this online for some e-book versions and found the Philosophy title, if anyone's interested: https://cabmakassar.org/wp-content/uplo…

TL,DR: I think there's very little reason for people applying this fall to worry unless you see US News announce a drastic change in how they value LSAT scores in their rankings in the coming weeks.
Yes, I think the article s…
hello~ just wanted to add my 2 cents in case anyone is still around to discuss it.
(1) Language-wise, I agree with @WinningHere that "many" in an ARG that's so sure of itself just won't cut it to prove to us anything more than what may be the case …
Hi! I know this comes much later than your post - but I was just going through PTC myself again and looking for discussion on this Q, too.
I'll offer this to anyone who may still be searching for some perspective:
My understanding of the CONC is t…
I let my proctor know that I didn't need my earplugs at the outset, but that I'd keep them on my desk and would put them in if/when needed. She seemed cool with that and saw them during the desk scan before the exam as well.
A small note on this I saw on another forum:
Either [ignore unpleasant realities] or [tell small lies] would be sufficient to prevent S:
[IGN UR] or [TSL] → SINC
Hence,
SINC → [IGN UR] and [TSL]
Actual response is important to determining whether the act of publicizing the report would still be considered impermissible. That's b/c we still have [most consent --> permissible] to think about. But in terms of getting to majority consent, if…
Here, as @cwlawlaw mentioned, we are to understand that consent --> consult.
The CHP wasn't justified in releasing the report b/c if we take [permissible --> consent --> consult], then of course not a single member could have given their c…
(E) boils down to calling social science laws not scientific laws. How can that be? To emphasize it again, they are the social sciences after all. Moreover, just b/c social sciences don't uphold 2 pillars of what scientific laws doesn't mean they're…
Yeah, I don't think anything will curb it completely, unfortunately, but I do find that having a boring, normalized routine, especially in the weeks leading up to the exam can ameliorate a lot of testing anxiety. This helps you feel in control of th…
One thing that's helped me tremendously when I was scoring in the 160s was focusing even more scrupulously on the BR process: for LR, that meant not just reviewing what I'd missed but making it a point to "blind translate" stimuluses in the 11-25/26…
Awesome! Thank you for sharing and taking time to do this! Can't wait for the day when I break out in cold sweats in front of whomever my future version of Kingsfield will be.
Have a good fall break! 🙂
A couple of articles I came across related to this discussion:

I will admit, it is an interesting approach! It might also be part culturally influenced. I taught in Korean public schools before where, to learn English, teachers told students to copy down short reading passages or paragraphs, word for word, as a…
Notice from LSAC:
Because the August LSAT was the first administration of the new online LSAT consisting of three scored sections and one unscored section, we are providing an opportunity for August test takers who are also registered for the Oc…
Yikes, I forgot to mention this was a helluva follow-up ep! Your authenticity and upfrontedness about... EVERYTHING... (& how you handled each of them) is encouraging & refreshing! Big blessings to you in 1L, Daniel!!!
Well there is a distinction between a gap that is possible and a gap that actually occurs, it just doesn't matter for the purposes of this question. To me it sounds kind of like you are conflating, "may no longer follow" with "may not happen."
…
Okay, so I think we have to see it in the context of both the paragraph it appears in, as well as calling to mind what the author was defending against in the first paragraph.
Let's start with the first paragraph reference as context:
"(2) that, l…
Thank you both! @canihazJD and @Christopherr. I appreciate having 2 tutors' feedback greatly!
A couple of more comments:
Personally, @Christopherr, I feel compelled to argue as others have on this question's comment section that "significant" is i…
