A quick definition of OSC:

Term: OSC

Definition: OSC stands for Office of Special Counsel. It is a special office that helps protect government employees who report wrongdoing or misconduct. If an employee reports something illegal or unethical, the OSC investigates and takes action to make sure the employee is not punished for speaking up.

A more thorough explanation:

OSC

OSC stands for Office of Special Counsel. It is a government agency that investigates and prosecutes cases of prohibited personnel practices, such as discrimination and retaliation, within the federal government.

  • An employee who believes they were unfairly passed over for a promotion because of their race can file a complaint with the OSC.
  • The OSC can also investigate cases where a federal employee was fired for reporting misconduct or blowing the whistle on illegal activity.

These examples illustrate how the OSC works to protect federal employees from unfair treatment and retaliation. By investigating and prosecuting cases of prohibited personnel practices, the OSC helps to ensure that the federal government operates fairly and ethically.

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
11:59
time and a half
11:59
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

12:53
the waiting game is just as hard as the lsat lol

13:37
I had an LSAT dream that I scored like a 112
13:40
i had a dream that i was playing outside on a hill and my mom loved me
13:45
@ronniedoeslaw: upset the score was lower than my PTs
ronniedoeslaw
13:49
@NemoPropheta: don’t get down on yourself, that’s a dream score for many. The fact you’re scoring high on your PTs is a good sign. Do something today to relax and take your mind off of it. Probably subliminally showing how stressed you are about it, which is okay bc same
