For those of you with wife/husband and kids what are your goals I mean are you looking for T14 and packing up and moving or what?

I'm 33 (!!!) with a husband and 2 kiddos, and plan on just applying to schools in my area. It's a long-held dream and I'm FINALLY going for it. I'm former military - tuition to a public school is covered, so I figure I have nothing to lose (other than time, brain power, self esteem, etc., ha!). Glad to see I'm not the only old person/parent here
Thank you for your service. What branch?
Marines.

Well done, sir. My dad was a Marine; a lot of good friends were too. I wanted to be, but medication prevented me from service.

Did I misread the rule? It shouldn't have been simple??? I'm worried
You're right!! It easily split into four different scenarios that could be used for all the questions. I think a lot of people - myself included - just didn't realize that at first and tried to force our way through a bunch of different set ups and lost time/got frazzled that way.

I also split the board into sub game boards. But after plugging in the rules, I was only able to get 3 valid scenarios! Ugh, hopefully I accidentally did not plug in a rule wrong and mistakenly crossed out valid sub game boards.

Thank you! I served 4, and my husband served 9 until he was injured in Afghanistan (medically retired). I'm grateful for my time in, and for the opportunities it afforded me.
Haha, sorry to ramble on about things that have nothing to do with the LSAT. I'm with the majority on the third game...

No need to be sorry about it, I and all of us are grateful for the sacrifice to serve our nation.

Also, I'm sure you did fine on the LSAT. Just keep your mind of it, enjoy time with the kiddos, and post with us in this thread!'

ETA: Also sorry if I presumed you were a sir and you are a ma'am!

For the curious.

According to this, October LSAT release date was a consistent 3 days early from 2004-2009 and has been 2 days since 2010. I'm guessing 2 days it is. My money's on the 26th. The 23rd for sure won't work with it being the last day of registration. Unless they want to be Angels and give it to us even earlier

It hasn't even been a full 24 hours and I'm already having an existential crisis. No more school, LSAT prep, operas, and marathons? Just my job until August 2016? This is too much too soon.

ugh I've had a drink too many.

Took the day off from visiting here except some light browsing on my phone while eating Subway after the test haha.. man was I ever bummed coming out of there though. On LG 3 I read "Nonconsecutive" as "Consecutive" which obviously drastically altered my understanding of the game. Knew something was up when I couldn't eliminate answers but was running out of time so I moved on, finished the last game and then came back only to realize my mistake with maybe 30 seconds left, and only got to change 1 out of 5 or 6 questions on that game.

After going my whole prep only missing at most 2 on LG and usually only 1 or 0, this put a real damper on an otherwise pretty solid feeling test. Could easily be taking me from the mid- to high-end of my range to the low or lower even.

Sorry for the sad post haha, just needed to vent / share. What a stupid mistake to make, I'm not sure if it was the pressure of it being the real deal, sloppiness, or a bit of both but it has probably killed my pipe-dream of a nice scholly down there to the U.S. and will keep me here in Canada should I ever decide to do law school

not theugg, but yes. There were both. s/he probably means the one that was consecutive wasn't diagrammed as such, or that the one that wasn't consecutive wasn't diagrammed as such.

maybe i am drunk enough.

NOTE: If you missed the regular registration deadline for the upcoming LSAT because you were waiting for your score from the previous administration, upon request, you are eligible for a refund of the late fee you incur during the late registration period. (Read more) (click to expand/collapse)

I'm sure they'll find a way to screw us over anyways.

Yes, it's called CAS.

Waiter from Asia checking in!

Does anyone know where I can find out which sections were real from the Asian version?

Actually there are 6 scenarios, unless the other rules restricted it further. Can't remember. But I think it was definitely a hard game and meant to be hard. Historically, the third game usually is the hardest one.

I think I need to start being open to changing my diagraming methods. Actually listing all scenarios out before the questions (the 7Sage way - which I resist doing - I like to make individual diagrams for each question as I go along) might help me out when I recognize I am facing the hardest game...

Lr 25

This may be a stupid question, but here it goes. If the lsat is pre-equated, why is there a one month delay until scores are released? Is it due to the fact that there are people writing non disclosed versions of the test in other countries and for religious reasons ( sabbath observers, for example.) and the lsat just puts a hold in everything?

I can't see it just being the logistics of having tests shipped back for correcting.

Is there something I am missing?

There were both - I read both of them as "Consecutive" though instead of one of each. I think I saw the letter, then when I looked back I looked at the wrong line and read Consecutive instead of Nonconsecutive. Or I just misread lol. Either way I have four marks there that are completely up in the air
