I love that the LSAT has a section that's entirely about your ability to suspend being annoying to prove that you can read properly. And if you're such an infant that you have to be annoying even when no one is watching, you fail that section.
@cremieuxrecueil What is that. I don't remember anything like that.
@travis4nh Questions that are simple and straightforward:
@cremieuxrecueil I promise you annoying people still do well on the LSAT
@cremieuxrecueil You know this already, but for whoever's reading, it's testing your ability to ignore prior knowledge and only use the information in the text.
@cremieuxrecueil Being pedantic and annoying is how I did well on the lsat Ha, you said may, that doesn’t mean it must occur!
@cremieuxrecueil A and b right
@cremieuxrecueil Which is why the lefty types have been trying to make these tests easier or outright waive them. They’ve already taken out the Logic Games section (though I found LG to be the easiest, but it’s probably because I’m ESL).
@cremieuxrecueil It was indeed annoying but absolutely passable.
@cremieuxrecueil Which is the hallmark of a good lawyer to suspend presuppositions in order to analyze the argument on the merits.
@cremieuxrecueil Interesting
@cremieuxrecueil This a true.
@cremieuxrecueil E, A. Am I a moron? That seems too easy.
@cremieuxrecueil @DavidAstinWalsh my offer to tutor you is still on the table. Let’s prove this mean old RW nutjob wrong.
@cremieuxrecueil I was so drunk I could barely log in to take the proctored exam and I still was 50th percentile I don’t really know what that means about the effectiveness of this test or how many other people who wrote it were also drunk
@cremieuxrecueil These are actually questions that measure political bias to some degree. Even high IQ people (actually especially high IQ folks) will try to rationalize there way through something they don’t want to believe.
@cremieuxrecueil Wouldn't the same logic be appliable to HBD? That proving races have different strengths and weaknesses would constitute a scientific breakthrough, but almost all scientists reject HBD?
@cremieuxrecueil I don't see how question 18 is "right wing," unless the left and center are hopelessly dogmatic about climate or the commenter didn't grasp the argument.
@cremieuxrecueil Can you elaborate, or point to it?
@cremieuxrecueil I don’t remember this section. Is this what replaced Analogies?
@cremieuxrecueil I can read and be annoying at the same time. Some call me a Renaissance man because of this.
@cremieuxrecueil “If all of the above statements are true” one-shots annoying ideologues
@cremieuxrecueil Annoying or annoyed? When I took the SAT the second time in '77, there was a reading comp. section about the KKK (negative, ofc). I was put out that they went political at all--and imagined what a black student felt. Got 10 pts lower Verbal score (680), Math unchanged IIRC.
@cremieuxrecueil How annoying specifically? That seems like a subjective valuation.
@cremieuxrecueil Its very amusing watching people twist themselves into knots and trying to force new information into the hypo just so they can argue with a multiple choice test. I keep seeing it and the frustrated confused faces they make everytime the professor goes, no that's wrong
@cremieuxrecueil This wasn't part of the LSAT when I took it but I'm intrigued if it is now.
@cremieuxrecueil Golly. I hope someone was there to help him through his personal crisis.
@cremieuxrecueil @DenialLaw is this true?
@cremieuxrecueil I thought the whole point of the LSAT was to be annoying. I've seen sample sections and now I understand why every @$$hole hates being called a lawyer.
@cremieuxrecueil By "a section" do you mean the entire test? I feel like this is every question I've ever seen
