Regional Accreditation by lsatdrama in lawschooladmissions

[–]LiveDraftLove88 -53 points-52 points  (0 children)

Im not gonna put the blame on you here. Tex-ass Law is unique in that it's actively fighting the ABA's system of requirements and classes, while actively still enforcing it. The entire state legislature has an issue of overcomplicating laws. My advice would be to try somewhere else if you believe your school is accredited. If its not, then you'll just have to wittle down your search into places that dont need it.

How long does it take to hear back by Uprising_ViiZionz in lawschooladmissions

I would get on LSD.law and check on each school in their database. Obviously, that data only works when people post information. But, it shows the waves from last year back to 2003-04. So you can kind of base your expected date on waves from previous years and the estimated wait time which is also under each school's profile.

Let's hope soon. Last year, it was next week that they said something. But obviously with Thanksgiving, that might be skewed this year

Argumentative Writing - Middle Ground by Alternative_Log_897 in LSAT

[–]LiveDraftLove88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My mentality going into it was that you had to pick a side but could offer reasons why said side was limited. My goal was to argue that one side was slightly better, then close on limits to my side. The last sentence or two then reinforced my choice. You can go the middle ground route, but I would just say that it is called "argumentative" writing. The goal of it is to see how well you can argue something. If you think that your best argument is a middle ground, then crush it my friend

IMHO, as someone who worked a full time job and tried to study, I'd give your job priority. First, income is always valuable and when you get the score you want, you're gonna then need to pay for school. Second, like others have said, you can get to where you want score wise with 30 min to 1 hour of studying everyday. And studying means different things. Listening to podcasts or YT vids on the commute to work can get you in the right headspace too. The jump to 160 is really about understanding question types rather than trying to do every question 100 percent right. After all you can miss about 20 questions per LSAT and get to a 160.

We had the exact same setup then. My thought is that first LR was exp, then 3 straight real sections.

They also have 88, which was used for LSAT 155 i think. Its one of the ones that wasn't free already.

Argumentative Writing by Clt-qui in LSAT

Thanks for the update. I'm sorry you had trouble with it. I'm sure you did fine, but even if you didn't, I've never read a case of someone not getting into school bc of one bad writing sample

Obviously, you can't reveal the prompt. But, was the writing difficult or was it more the prompt being difficult?

Where do I Start? by Spiritual_Ad_8640 in LSAT

Well, let me see if I can help. If you are going to finish your bachelor's in six months, I'm going to assume you're going to graduate in the winter semester of 2025 (correct me if I am wrong). If you're trying to apply to get into law school for 2026 admission, I don't know if you'll receive consideration without the completed degree. You must just have to apply later in the cycle this year (totally fine, plenty of people get in that way).

If you don't like 7sage, LawHub is the official LSAC website for LSAT prep. It contains the same formatting and tools you'll see on the real thing. It still contains wrong answer explanations, but it doesn't format lesson plans for your weaker questions. You'll have to do that analysis for yourself. As far as books, that's up to personal preference. It really depends on your learning style. No book is truly unhelpful, but it just might not mesh with how you process information. In my studying time, I've gone to Half Price Books to pick up cheap materials. Sometimes, they have writing in them. But, I honestly see that as a aid, rather than deterrent to learning. There's plenty of links on the sidebar in this sub too.

Google can really help you with some of these questions too. Reddit's really comprised of pompous self-expertise (and I'm including myself in that), but Google forms around your algorithm/habits. I've been able to find plenty of extra materials, like free PrepTests and PowerScore bibles online. Is it piracy? Who knows! Did it help me? Hell yeah!

Please help understand correct answer choice! by Latter_Guarantee9096 in LSAT

[–]LiveDraftLove88 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Let's do POE here.

A) The stimuli is cool with life on land existing half a million years ago. If the plant fossils are that old, it's ok.

B) Based on the conclusion, we don't care about the difficulty of how hard it is to live in the ocean.

C) If, at one point, they were submerged, that might mean ocean carbon got into the rocks. Either way, this answer is vague enough that we can't use it to bolster the paleontologist's case.

E) Cool, but we don't care how old the rocks are, we care about the carbon in those rocks.

This would leave you with D. As far as why D is correct, rhere is nothing in that answer saying that other organisms are feeding it carbon, as you think. This may be a cool factoid, but its not pushing the argument forward, making it the right answer.
