LSAT Graph / Spreadsheet: How Many Questions to Score 170 / 160

Friday, March 5th, 2010

After I compile a lot of data, I like to analyze it. I just published the Raw Score Conversion Charts for every released LSAT PrepTest , so I decided to create a graph illustrating the maximum number of questions you can miss on every LSAT PrepTest and still get a 170. (I also made one about getting a 160 - scroll to the end for info about that one) (Click image to enlarge, and see details and analysis below.) Details This graph covers all released LSAT PrepTests to date (PrepTest 1 - PrepTest 59).

Brain rhythm treatment effectiveness: More complex multisensory synchronization may be better?

Monday, March 1st, 2010

In IAP Research Report # 9 (B rain rhythm treatment efficacy:  Can we fine-tune our brain clocks ), it was concluded (after reviewing 23 studies) that “rhythm-based mental-timing treatments have merit for clinical use and warrant increased clinical use and research attention.”   Additionally, it was concluded that: Positive treatment outcomes were reported for four forms of rhythm-based treatment . Positive outcomes were also observed for normal subjects and, more importantly, across a variety of clinical disorders (e.g., aphasia, apraxia, coordination/movement disorders, TBI, CP, Parkinson’s disease, stroke/CVA, Down’s syndrome, ADHD) Most rhythm-based brain-based interventions (the RAS, AOS-RRT and SMT treatment studies) all employed some form of auditory-based metronome to pace or cue the subjects targeted rhythmic behavior. External metronome-based rhythm tools (tapping to a beat, metronome-based rhythmic pacing, rhythmic-cuing via timed pulses/beats) is a central tool to improving temporal processing and mental-timing.

No matter how much I write about preparing for LSAT Test Day, people still want tips and strategies for dealing with Test Day nerves. And there are companies that make products to help people deal with those nerves. No, I’m not talking about the pharmaceutical industry

Description from PAR web page. The PAR Assessment Toolkit was created to provide assistance to psychologists, mental health workers, and anyone else who administers standardized assessments. This toolkit features several helpful tools such as: • Normal curve - an illustration of a standard bell curve is included for use in discussion with patients or other professionals • Conversion chart - included to provide an error-free means of converting between t-scores, z-scores, percentiles, and standard score.
