ab extra

Read a random definition: yokelet

A quick definition of ab extra:

Ab extra means "from outside" or "beyond" in Latin. It refers to something that comes from outside of a particular situation or context. For example, if someone is trying to solve a problem and they receive help or advice from someone who is not directly involved in the situation, that help or advice could be considered ab extra. It's like getting a fresh perspective from someone who is not caught up in the same issues or biases as those who are directly involved.

A more thorough explanation:

Term: ab extra
Definition: Ab extra means from outside or beyond. It is a Latin term used to describe something that comes from a source outside of a particular situation or context.
Examples: When a person is trying to solve a problem but cannot find a solution, they may seek help from someone ab extra, such as a teacher or expert in the field. Another example is when a court case involves evidence that was obtained ab extra, meaning it was gathered from a source outside of the normal investigation process. These examples illustrate how ab extra refers to something that comes from outside of a particular situation or context.

needing accomdations for tests isn't cheating tho. you just need extra help because your brain isn't typical of most test takers
It is when they dont need them lmfao then they go "oh no i do need them i just didnt know i had adhd until 24 and took hundreds of tests my whole life without, but the tutor said just do it" lmfao no one says people who really need it shouldnt get it, but the thing is 80%+ are people who just go "i need lsat to get into the school i want and getting double time moves me from 167 to 177 and that is worth a 300k scholarship and a job making 260k at grad instead of 80k"

I wonder if the logic games removal makes the LSAT easier or harder. Many people I’ve spoken to said that was their favorite section
@NosyBeagle: you can use something like this: https://www.talkwithfrida.com/adult-adhd-diagnosis/ and now you magically have adhd! And can get double time! All for about $300 lmfao aka you buy a 300k scholarship and a job with an extra 100k+ per year for $300. Many do this. They compete for spots, not to be the most deserving.

i think i could've conquered logic games if i gave myself more time to study. but i don't miss it tbh

$300? bruh
This is why i say everyone should get the double time test. No more accommodations, completely level playing field, aka equality of opportunity. Logic games are the funnest to study but LR is exactly the same on being able to EXPECT -0. And yes, $300 or less depending where you live! And lsac will allow that to get double time, only 3 sections, unlimited stop/start in the sessions, and 15 minute breaks lmfao you can also get it on paper!

@PremiumFrequentCrane: yeah double time is excessive since a significant part of being a lawyer is meeting deadlines, like if they gave an extra 5-10 minutes, whatever, but 1h10m to answer 25 MC questions is overkill
girl i don’t have accommodations
11:59
i do :3

time and a half

all i sent them was my 504 plan from high school nthey said bet
12:00
unmedicated tho
@FrioJGenius: good thing our top schools who feed into the top roles and most important places disagree! They say "give me the kid who scores 155 l;egit and 172 with double time, they are better than the 167 legit no double time"
okay get ur money up

There’s been about a 30% increase nation wide in law school apps this school, I believe this may just favor larger institutions & I’m curious to see if schools begin to take in larger class sizes to compensate
12:06
@ronniedoeslaw: only if employers are willing to hire more lawyers, which seems doubtful. Schools dont want unemployed grads
class sizes appear to be staying the same
12:36
veo3 is scary
