  • All I know is that in Tokyo which was insanely efficient in everything, it was nearly 9:30 before we started the first section. If you're not fond of asking someone for a phone I'd give an estimate of 2:00PM to be safe. 1:30PM if they don't mind pos…
  • @"Alan Cheuk" Thanks for the quick answer. This is such a well run site it's insane. Screw it I love you guys, I'm gonna buy a course for June's test this weekend - broke or not. As for rankings I only noticed it because the discrepancy was within…
  • I have no idea if this applies in your case, but most of the people I know who got stuck in low 150s after working hard at the LSAT had a problem with accepting that they were wrong. Not on a question by question basis, but in a fundamental line of …
  • I didn't even think about it. I guess I just got lucky being in Japan when I took it. Their schools have vending machines and their vending machines have coffee (yeah ikr). I'd check with the particular test center, I've been hearing some inconsist…
  • About the 'difficulty' rating, how is it calculated? I see some questions 54% of people got right are 4 star questions while some 5 star questions have as much as 57% correct. So far what I've looked at fits certain % thresholds based on correct res…
  • How much time the paper distribution and formalities takes, though maybe you'll be used to waiting around if you have been PT'n authentically, I hadn't taken a PT at that point so was unprepared. I barely found the place in time so I was pumped full…
  • This is a bit tricky for the same reason a lot of these 'find the missing link' questions are. That is because they seem like they make sense already. Try to remember though that LSAC is god, and whatever they state as fact is fact, and that in most…
  • The question is asking for a rule replacement that still yields the same possibilities (no reduction in possible states, no new states, the exact same set of possibilities). It's likely that such a rule would be identical (the contrapositive of the …
  • Okay just trying the set up from the start. So we have houses 1, 3, 5, 7 Across from houses 2, 4, 6, 8 There's 3 types of houses. r, s, and t. Adjacent houses (13, 35, 57; 24, 46, 48) cannot be the same type. Opposite houses (12, 3,4, 56, 78) can…
  • I only bother writing anything on the LR section on questions with stupidly confusing presentation, especially where you need to compare arguments and find similar ones when the original presentation is very complex. Generally I agree that if you un…
  • My initial attempt at studying was just to try the June 2007 LSAT, redo it, and then scrounge the internet for random 'LSAT-like' questions. I do not recommend this. I can say that the Powerscore LG Bible helped me improve what was obviously my weak…
  • That's still using logic, just internal logic. If a statement is complicated enough it can help to write with propositional logic to clarify what argument is actually being made. That said, calling the logic taught in lsat courses as lawgic, or impl…
  • @danballinger5 I think maybe my situation is different though, it looks like Canadian law schools don't care about the LSAT nearly as much as American ones. I'm not sure their rankings even use it, they certainly don't like to post about it if they …
  • About that - does it really make any difference if you're an extreme splitter? Do most schools value a 3.2GPA 175 that much better than a 3.2GPA 170? I don't think I'd be getting money either way so I'm just curious from an acceptance standpoint.
  • As far as I can tell you're already there if you're averaging 176. Figure out what questions STILL take time for you and drill them since you're at the point where it doesn't look like you have any new questions left to attempt. It sounds like you d…
  • I'd be interested in joining.
  • Yeah I got an empty sheet in IRR. Well that sucks, but makes a lot more sense. Thanks for letting me know. Should I expect that the released PT 74 won't correspond to the test I wrote then? I have lots of unused recent PTs, don't really wanna both…
  • Writing the LSAT is kind of like making an analogy. In all likelihood your first few analogies will suck. You will spend a long time just to make poor comparisons that fail to illustrate anything interesting or insightful. Over time you will learn t…
  • Thanks! Sorry to hijack your thread but within my account I'm not able to see the answers to my MC Questions/Answers. While I can see my written submission, my percentile rank and my score in separate pdfs the one for the actual answers is not there…
  • I still can't understand how people are checking their answers. I don't see PT74 offered anywhere and I don't see the correct answers in LSAC. Where do I find this?
