Yale 250:

Yale Law School attracts the best and brightest from all walks of life - the children of executives, surgeons, investment bankers, law makers, and the like. Similar to their forebears, the matriculated students at Yale are astonishingly accomplished for their age, but Yale has an serious issue despite attracting all of these qualified students possessing unique accolades. With all of these Rhodes scholars that are children of Nobel laureates occupying every seat in the class, all of these students look alarmingly average despite their many accomplishments. That is why Yale needs me - a smart yet remarkably undistinguished individual. By admitting me, my cohorts will be reminded of how accomplished they are through my lack of impressive credentials. Also, I can touch my nose with my tongue.

Three lessons learned from my most recent PT:

1. Read the question stem, Pozzo. There's a huge difference between "Which option most clearly conforms to the principle?" and "Which option most clearly VIOLATES the principle?"

2. Skip parallel questions and come back to them at the end. I usually work on those a little frantically because I don't want them to suck too much time. This usually costs me a correct answer. By coming back to them at the end, I knew exactly how much time I had to work on them, and was able to be much more careful.

3. Don't misbubble. Just don't.

Out of curiosity, do you read the question stem first or the stimulus first? If it makes you feel any better, a few weeks ago I misread a weaken question for a strengthen question and pondered my life choices for a while.

I switched to stem first midway through my September studying. I've found that I do better that way.

I think the nose-tongue thing would actually put you above most of the people at Yale. You should probably leave that out. You need to be REALLY unfantastic to set yourself apart from the other Yale applicants.

Forewarning, make sure that everything about your testing center, photo, etc. is in check, the deadline is tomorrow (at least for the photo).

Important, yo.

Anyone for PT19 S3 P4 #25 B vs E...anything more definitive than the Kaplan site saying E isn't negative enough?

I went with E, since the author gives some credit to Drescher 'more balanced view'

I had similar! Most embarassing LR fail was when I went -1 due to misreading, on about the fourth question, "X and Y do not agree over what?", and of course skipped over the "not" which began a new line.

Also, turns out games get a lot harder when you've read "At most" as "At least" ..... :/

So I did prep tests A, B and C (the feb ones) and I gotta say they were...weird? Idk. Weird. Maybe it's a feb thing but they really threw me.




Also wild inconsistency on RC- Prep Test B RC went -5 and Prep Test 64 went -1. Ugh. I really need to ace RC to make up for expected losses on LG...

Revising my pt I took Saturday and found FIVE bubbling errors... guess I should go back to kindergarten instead of law school.

Just because a watermelon is heavier than a bottle of rosé does not necessarily mean that the former is pricier.
Likewise, more balanced =/= convincing; B is the lesser of two evils: the author ultimately concludes Drescher's view is incomplete/unrealistic.

I'll give it a shot this afternoon, might be a little late to restrategize but who knows.

Yeah, give it a shot and see how you like it. It's really a pretty incremental change. It helped me know what to look for as I was reading and preformulate my answer.

That makes sense. Thank you. I assigned value judgement to balanced which doesn't really happen in this case.

[Deardevil]

Two LR sections in 59 minutes.
Wasn't sure of one question from each; ended up getting one of those wrong and another random one wrong.

[cherrygalore]

Any suggestions of hardest RC comps ever?
