This question paired with the one in the op sucks in a very typical lsaty way. There's absolutely no change in perspective count on here. "Perspective", after all, is a very robust psychological notion regarding how someone looks at a some domain. L…
This question was so bizarrely easy that the right answer felt like a trap answer. The right answer is almost tautological, so you don't even need to look at the text to choose it. Yes, something will be toxic if a toxic substance enters it but does…
Well, the LSAT measures skills that are useful in life generally. The more dissapointed you are in your initial results, the more oppurtunity you have to quite soon vastly improve skills in yourself that you value.
Numerical progress is not perfectly linear since different concepts are tested at different difficulties on each PT. Go by fluctuations in the mean/quartiles of your last five exams to see if youre making progress. And keep on truckin'.
I should correct myself, "0-50% are not white" cannot be translated to "a minority are not white"; rather, it would be translated to a "a minority or exactly half are not white", which would be equivalent to "half or more are white". It's minding th…
"0-50% are not white", i.e. "a minority are not white" seems to me to be logically equipollent to "most people are white". I'm missing any paradox that may be here.
The "doesn't appreciate" sense of "takes for granted" is an idiom. It leverages the idea that when you don't appreciate a thing, you assume it will always be there and do not think how unfortunate it will be for it to be gone. "Take for granted", in…
Think of what the stim would have to look like for B to be correct. West would have to say something, and Young would have to reply something like "Well, that very well may be true, but is irrelevant to the task or debate at hand." But that's not ho…
Are you saying that the 3.68 is the results after the paper shuffling process? If so, that's a good GPA that shows you did well in uni. Depending on the details of your transcript, it shows that you're prepared, as far as academic skills and determi…
Also a Phil BA here. Comes hugely in handy--sure, for giving us a running start with logical reasoning and comprehending dense texts.
But, perhaps more importantly, the skills in introspection and intellectual critique that you developed thru philo…
The website doesn't mention being unable to take it after your multiple choice exam. And in prior years it worked that you were allowed to take it up to one year, it seems, after the multiple choice exam. I see no reason they would break from this p…
Congrats, especially for that impressive 16-point jump (In fact, the hardest 16 points to achieve)! A demon is keeping me from 180. I've had 3 179s and nearly 10 177's or 178's. Hope to join your club soon, several times over before August in fact!
I'd reccomend starting with the newest PTs and working backward. Because they new format has less RC, it might be useful to skip around between PTs to the RC sections to balance out your practice (I'd reccomend doing the experimental sections that a…
Each new-style prep test cannibalizes from 2 old -style tests (a Google search often reveals which).
Nobody knows yet how new live tests will compare in difficulty to old ones. If LSAC doesn't make any changes to the content of RC or LR, then the d…
i dont particularly believe in any deities besides maybe asherah. unfortunately, i cant join the study group because i am an epistemoloogical anarchist, and the group's meetings conflict with my comitments at the non-golfer's club. but best of luck!
I got this approved. It's good to communicate to your professional a little bit of about the nature of the experimental section, so they can precisely explain in their letter why you need it to be removed. As someone else said, it's not a standard o…
Lawhub seems to be making some changes (they just started labeling question types and difficulty), so hopefully they'll add natively some of the diagnostics or other tools 7sage has.
About half of my wrong lrs are 5*, the rest are 1 or 2*. One of my idiosyncrasic challenges in interpreting language in the way the test taken intends, and this problem can often arise just as much on "easy questions". So if you also have that probl…
Premises are propositions explicitly expressed in the stimulus which feed into the conclusion. Context, meanwhile, comprises facts about the world of the stimulus, or about how to interpret language (e.g., polysemous language) in the stimulus, that …
