Maybe you have a point but those are the rules.
Ace it or fail.

Sounds unlike anything I ever did in law school.
Fucking idiot. |

in college you are forced to take math.
in law school, you don't do anything that resembles assigning animals to cages. |

I AM NOT COMMENTING ON EASE/DIFFICULTY OF LG. THAT IS A SEPARATE DISCUSSION ENTIRELY.
What part of the word "inapplicable" do you not understand? |

sorry you have reading comp problems bro, and can't recognize that this is criticism of the lsat, not advice for 0Ls. |

*leans back in chair*
"listen kids, i've been around the block in LS, okay? i've taken those four classes, and I can tell you that the analytical reasoning section on the LSAT has no relation to one's aptitude for legal studies. maybe you haven't heard, but i'm in the TOP THIRD. fuck all that statistical data and shit; i know the score." |

If only there were an internet . . .

Still, it seems silly to test whether people can find and use third party strategies to do well on a section of the test. Why not eliminate it altogether? |

But many people have difficulty with LG... you are likely good at math/stats/economics, if you had so little difficulty with it - those types of people (from what I've heard and just my own intuition..) tend to do best at it. And engineering students as well. My arts friends struggled most with this section. |

There seems to be no really good reason that explains why anyone preparing for the LSAT should be caught with their pants down unaware of the fact that there is a booming test prep industry that exists, and is there only because it continues to earn a profit by helping test takers achieve their highest possible score.
Its existence is not mystical knowledge nor does it seem a requirement that one should have to work any longer than a single, eight hour shift at, for instance, some silly job, earning $5/hour, if he wishes to acquire the choicest prep materials for his own use. |

because (aspect) A (from the LSAT) does not test for (some) skill set B (applicable to practice in law school) therefore,
--> A should be dropped from the LSAT |

If we didn't have the prep industry, then the games section would be close to useless because nobody would finish and most would get all but 1 or 2 wrong. But, since everyone practices, the logic games weeds out those people who are intellectually incapable of learning the games' process and then applying that process quickly.
