i understand they have to read the essay and stuff but can we not atleast get the mcq scores like?? it’s so annoying
my section A is not going so well so i need section B to carry me
pls give me ur best tips on how to have a clear and strong argument
everuone says to focus on the official resources closer to the test so like what should i do with them
especially since i’ve done them before
should i just do them again and spot mistakes patterns and do my usual process
first attempt (july) - 18/42
second attempt (august) - 28/42
third attempt (september) - 33/42 (im not counting ts lmao i remembered all the answers)
fourth attempt (october) - 29/42
with the october attempt i forced myself to not rely on memory for any of the answers and used this technique (unlike my other attempts)
- taking note of the point of each paragraph and the evidence the author uses to support the point
- trying to ‘kill’ two options using the passage and then in the final two i chose the one that made me add less of my own assumptions and forced myself to justify each one i eliminated
for context im applying to ucl so i want 27+
also my lnat is in 20 days so should i just go through my wrong answers in these , spot patterns and edit my thinking process for next time
i’ve seen quite people say the only resources they used were the official papers
but what do they mean by this like did they just do them again and again or what
because i don’t find that it’s useful for me to go back to the official resources cuz i remember the answers and get an inflated score 😭 do i need to be doing something else or like
Hi guys i’m applying for law at top london universities and i would really appreciate it if someone who knows what these unis are looking for could read my personal statement and tell me their thoughts ?
Let me know if i can dm you thank you!!
passage first ?? questions first?? how long to spend on each question?? need any tips that u guys have thankyouuu
obvs we all know by now that multiple answers can be justified but only one is right
how do u decide ?? cuz often i can literally point to rhe passage and justify 3 other options like how do u confirm which one is the most right ?
i get 25-30 on the official lnat material and get 10-15 on the leslie ho papers idk what to use as a real measure of where i’m at i’m so stressed
“does it matter if some animal and plant species die out?”
I think that it does matter if some animal and plant species die out. This is because of a variety of things, including extrinsic utility (medicine) as well as biodiversity,In this essay, we will take ‘nature’ to mean whether it would make a difference to humans and other wildlife, and I will assess where exceptions need to be made.
Firstly, there’s no doubt that plants play a vital role in medicine. Even before modern medicine, herbal remedies were an extremely widespread practice in the world of medicine. Therefore, if plant species were to die out, it’s a possibility that it could have negative impacts on medicine, due to a potential lack of herbal resources. Opponents would argue that the key word is ‘some’, and not all plants are valuable to make medicines, therefore if only some plant species die out, whats the problem? However, this lacks credibility: It’s an established fact that at-least some plants can be used to make herbal medicines, so surely its fair to impose a generalisation that plant species shouldn’t die out, as this protects the plants that have utility to humans, andtherefore ‘matter’ to us. Therefore, I think that the risk of even some plant species dying out should be avoided, to ensure if protection of the ones that do matter.
Secondly, in the context of animals, I think that even some species dying out gives rise to threats against biodiversity. For example, biodiversity is a fundamental aspect of food chains;In an interconnected food web, even if one seemingly insignificant species dies, this can limit food sources for those at the higher ends of the food chain. If this process repeats, itmay lead to more species dying out due to lack of food, eventually introducing a harmful chain reaction. Notice that when one species dies out, the impact is not limited to that one species, but rather creates a domino effect? To develop this, threats to biodiversity may also have an impact on humans. A lot of the tourism industry involves people observing different habitats and the wildlife within them, so I want you to ask yourself, how would this aspect of tourism be maintained if food webs and biodiversity is being affected due to ‘some’ species dying out. Overall, this shows that animals and plants have both intrinsic and extrinsic utility and it does matter if any of them die out.
Some may argue that this argument is reductionistic and doesn’t specify how far our consideration should extend when protecting plant and animal species. Should we also protect the plants that may be harmful to us, like poisonous ones? Why should we make an effort to prevent the extinction of animals that cause more harm than good? While this argument raises a valid concern, it can be countered because whenconsidering whether a species ‘matters’, this is not exclusive to whether it matters to humans. Although a species may not be beneficial to us, it doesn’t erase its positive impact on biodiversity and, say, food webs, as mentioned earlier. Therefore, while there may be exceptions to the generalisation that wildlife is useful to humans, it’s important that we don’t let this erase their significance within the habitat, even if itdoesn’t matter to humans, doesn’t mean it doesn’t matter at all.
In conclusion, I think it does matter even if only some animal and plant species die out, because when considering their usefulness in science, it may be acceptable to make a generalisation that we should protect all species, and even in the cases where they don’t technically ‘matter’ to humans, their other benefits still stand.
cuz technically i’ve been ‘revising’ since july but im not counting it as revision bc i was just doing endless questions without properly reviewing
i’ve only now figured out the revision method and there’s exactly 6 weeks till my lnat
do u guys think if i do this method i can get 28-30 if im currently on 20-22
3 passages per day + noting down the mistake type and doing targeted practice of just that mistake type (eg assumption questions)
and doing full mocks once a week
as well as doing 2 or 3 essays a week
obvs everyone knows the structure but what’s the difference between a good essay and an amazing one that gets u into top unis
because lowkey my section A isn’t looking good so i need the essay to carry me💔💔
i’m so so stressed my lnat is on october 23rd and im getting 20-22 in mock tests i’ve been revising since july and nothings changed
when ive done like 3 passages i look at the explanations and write down why i got it wrong and keep those in mind when doing the next one
but it’s not working does anyone know what i should do with just over a month till my exam i feel really cooked and have lost almost all motivation i want 28-30 💔💔
i’m seeing people saying that in sept-dec of y13 u need to do 3 hours of revision a day outside of school
but with my lnat being in oct i have to rlly grind in september
so like how am i meant to do 3 hours of a level revision AND lnat revision all on a school day??? i’m so so stressed💔💔
basically say two people have a requirement of AAB but one of them is predicted exactly AAB and the other is predicted A*s does it make a difference or does the uni only look at if ur
grades meet the offer or not ?
because im predicted A*AB and my requirement for ucl law is AAB (contextual) so is it worth trying to get the B changed to an A or does it not matter
