LSAC creates the account for you, so you have to wait until Thursday to run the equipment check after they send their email with the login details for scheduling.

Are they allowing a refund though, or just the ability to change a test date to another test date in the same cycle (which leaves only April) ???
-
I was hoping for Tuesday, but yikes to the 8th/9th. BTW, the writing section is available starting on the 8th also.

Depends on the school. Some of the "lower ranked" schools discussed this in webinars and at the Forums - that January is NOT too late (mostly for applications, but also for some merit considerations). One of the schools I'm looking into has their E…

This might not work for you, but I just worked through the Powerscore Reading Comprehension Workbook and its drills really helped me go from a -10/-14 to now a -2/-4 on RC. I think the drills helped me to adjust how I was reading and to be less 'laz…

@Bagelinthemorning I like to think of this combo (cannot ... unless // group 4 ... group 3) as double negatives that cancel each other out in the final translation. (But, this doesn't work in reverse with 'group 3 ... group 4' as neatly, you would h…

The 'cannot' applies to all 4 parts of the entire phrase sentence, so it translates into: 1) (cannot) GM from BF = GM → GFood (/BF = GFood) 2) (cannot) GFood from BS = GFood → GS (/BS = GS); 1 & 2 chain into GM → GFood → GS 3) (cannot) GS wit…

I missed a lot of questions on that logic games section - which is ANNOYING, I'm usually at or near zero. Last game, boohiss. I even missed a couple of questions in the 2nd game !!?? But, in a weird way, I did better than normal on the RC section …

everything before the 'are': 'actions that fulfill moral obligations' (Actions that fulfill moral obligations) --> (performed in order to fulfill moral obligations) Try translating the last bit to make it simpler, maybe that will help. The 'in …
-
Are you using the recommended Foolproofing method ? Or are you just working through the CC games once? If you're not, you should repeat / cycle back through the games that you've missed questions on (or went over in time), so that through repetition…

Your major change does make a difference: it shows that that major (especially with the grades to go with it) wasn't your 'best fit' and that when you changed majors, your grades improved. The schools will not judge you on this - they understand th…
-
Just keep practicing the questions and really analyze your interpretation of the stimulus, your reasoning for choosing the answer you picked, and the mistake(s) you may or may not have made in choosing that answer over the correct answer. Study your…

^^this also^^. Especially if you're over their 75ths. In attending webinars for schools lately, I was a bit surprised that some schools mentioned that they interview EVERYONE they plan to offer an acceptance to. It just seems to be an additional la…

Based on my "flaw research:" • "A proper appeal to an authority must meet the following three fundamentals: 1) authority must exist, 2) authority must have expertise, 3) authority must be objective/disinterested. If an appeal lacks any of these thr…

It's all about the potential of bias. The author is trying to relatively compare the two types of data, giving preference for one over the other incorrectly, based on thoroughness alone - and not also considering how strong each piece of data is in…

I think they (LSAC) don't want anyone reading aloud (softly or loudly), because they don't want some recording device in another room / out of sight of the camera room check capturing content and making a record of the test questions.
-
Like the above(s) have said. For me (I'm signed up for January also), this is my plan: • review my notes (even re-read through books) • review my wrong answers - to 'cross them all off' • review and drill weak(/weakest) spots (really understand…
-
Uh ... you're going to have to write a mega mea culpa addenda for this. First off, since you warned when it happened the first time, but then you did it again. You'll have to really explain HOW you learned from this situation and WHY you didn't sto…
-
@BigJay20 you might want to try to get the 8-question passages out of the way first? I almost always do my passages out of order, to work the fewest question passage last (just in case I run out of time!!). Or the comparative passage last @Auntie2…

That sucks so much that the ebay listing doesn't ship to India! I really hope you're able to find a solution to get a copy!! I'm surprised that India isn't a market for the book's publishers / other sellers. ... Short of a "vacation" to another co…

Is it possible to have it shipped to you through a 3rd party courier service? I know people outside of the US that have to use that route to receive stuff. It adds up, but they usually make a larger order to justify the added cost (although, I think…

@sakethsaran1998 LSAC has had it on their website for the Jan, Feb, and April tests for quite some time, and they update that page often (not as often now as in the beginning of Flex-time). I can only imagine that it's because of what happened with…
-
According to the LSAC, it's going to be only the 16th and 17th (lower test taker volume, don't need as many days).

OK, so not allowed to use a plain (aka: non-monetized) amazon link that directs to the book ... The Loophole in Logical Reasoning by Ellen Cassidy
-
... I did better than my average on that one ... I would have done better if not for missing a lot of RC points. LR = 3star; RC = 4star; LG = 1star That test should make for some great review for you, though, because it must have honed in on some …
-
Work through it at a slower pace, as you need to, to try to fully digest the info. I know we're all different learners, but I recommend those books. I found the LR one very informative, especially as a foundation. Given the font size/spacing and pra…
-
I also super-geeked and made a comparative document of the LR question types (I've read Kaplan and the Powerscore books, so I added those in too ... originally, I started it as a comparison between PS and the Loophole, then added in 7S and thought t…
-
One way to incorporate the Loophole into working through the CC is to make sure to CLIR all of the practice questions as you're drilling, to integrate the approach into your process to make it intuitive. I LOVE the Loophole, it was a game-changer f…

I did a google search on the video name and there's a site with a transcript (no video). I've NEVER seen the video, so I don't know if it's correct, though. ... I don't want to link to something 'shady.' If that's the case! So, just 'google search' …

@Nickes29 , yeah, I already made a 'difficulty list' for logic games and noted this (also above ;p). I'm really ONLY looking for logical reasoning sections. Also, as an FYI to anyone else looking at that list (I know I did!!), That reddit post doe…
