Hey @bswise2 !
I worked through this problem in BR for the exact same reason. I think it is safe to conclude that we cannot attribute knowledge to the scientists in D. While 'many' scientists have knowledge of the impact of pollution, that word m…
I like @Mellow_Z 's suggestion of going off of a goal score. I went in once I was hitting well above my goal. I didn't quite get the score I wanted, but I would not have wanted to sit for the test with any less studying than I did.
I spoke to a couple of admissions officers about application timing, and they said that it is best to get in applications within 30-60 days of the cycle opening up. Most of the schools I have looked at will open on Sept. 1, but they also allow you …
For me, the diagnostic helped to point out areas of relative weakness after completing the CC. It helped me to focus my additional drilling, especially for LR. While one test doesn't give you a perfect model of your testing, it is a great place to…
I think that @"Alex Divine" makes a good point. While they will look at 'geographical diversity', it seems like this is one of the factors that move applicants from the strong-maybe to the yes pile. This group of applicants is relatively small, a…
We talked about this in depth in a BR group once. That could really shakes things up! It really changes the conditional relationship.
Glad that you were able to break this down solo, as we spent a loooong time discussing it!
@cam I'm right there with you. Happy with my score, but not satisfied. I really only feel bad about having to dedicate more time to studying again. That's not all that bad, anyway.
I'm sure we will be seeing each other around the discussion boar…
Hi @CinnamonTea!
I can't speak for others, but I did not do a 5th section for the majority of my PTing. If you can get through a full PT and not feel totally drained, then I don't think it is imperative to add a 5th section every time. When I got…
I have spoken with an individual who works as IH Counsel for a non-profit and associated LLC. I think that the track really depends on the scale of the business from what he told me. If you are referring to being part of a small team, or being the…
@spitzy11 One thing to keep in mind, in addition to the information above, is that drilling is meant to reinforce strategies/skills/concepts. Using early preptests (1-35) is a good option, because as a whole test, these are less similar to current …
@TimLSAT180 Makes a really good point in his example. The thing to keep in mind in this example is that referential phrasing can lead to very misleading relationships between English and Lawgic.
The phrase "I only work on Tuesdays" is really sayin…
When I was skipping questions in RC, it was largely because I did not adequately absorb the information in the passage. Either there was specific info that I could not refer to quickly or other concepts that I did not retain that were needed to ans…
@doohocho is right on the money with this one.
When I was learning the lawgic form, I followed the rules like gospel, but I also found that it was helpful for me to understand the why behind the lawgic structure. For some conditional relationships…
Hey @"Aaron Frank" !
For me, note taking was an important part of practicing the memory method in the untimed phase of my study.
The goal when timed for me, however, is to have practiced the memory method so much that I can do it without writing d…
+1 for @"Dillon A. Wright" . It would only stand to drain your stamina.
Just remember, your PT scores are all in your head, especially if they were different than they usually are! They only hold as much value as you give them. If you are dead se…
When I think of the word side-effect, I think it relates more to unintended effects of an action.
In this case, the susceptibility to middle ear infections is correlated with the virus, but the author never says "the virus causes middle ear infecti…
I have experienced similar trends in my PTs, though usually it is the first section of the test that I tend to miss questions toward the beginning. I have also noticed that my score is generally higher on the second LR regardless of its relative di…
Here is the takeaway for me from the stim: The author never says that the virus itself is what causes the middle ear infections, just that children develop middle ear infections. Since the antibiotics, which aren't effective on virii, clear up the i…
This question relies on the reader's ability to relate percentages to absolute numbers.
So we know that OC are defined by a weight greater than 85% of other C (or /OC).
Lets say we have exactly 15 OC and 85 /OC to start. The passage states that th…
Having spoken to a few admissions officers, paralegal work does not necessarily open any special doors when it comes to getting into schools. I would imagine working in the legal setting would be beneficial to learning more about your own interests…
