A quick definition of esnecy:

ESNECY: The word esnecy means being the oldest child in a family. It is a special privilege that the oldest child has, especially when it comes to dividing up things like property. This means that the oldest child gets to choose their share first. Another word for esnecy is aesnecia.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Esnecy (es-ni-see) is a term used to describe seniority, which refers to the condition, right, or privilege of the eldest-born. It is a term that is commonly used to describe the privilege of the eldest among coparceners to make a first choice of shares upon a voluntary partition. It is also known as aesnecia.

One example of esnecy is when a family decides to divide their property among their children. The eldest child has the right to choose their share first, followed by the second eldest, and so on.

Another example is in the royal family, where the eldest child is often the heir to the throne and has the privilege of ruling the country.

These examples illustrate how esnecy is related to seniority and the privilege of being the eldest-born. It is a term that is often used in legal and royal contexts to determine the order of succession or division of property.

Volatile, I always do the hardest ones first, so that you get the most challenging questions out of the way and make it get easier as you proceed. Also, read the answer choices before reading the question.

Man if I get above 175 and end up not getting into any t14s I'll laugh

@VolatileClumsyAcolyte: biggest tip that will get you a few points is that the LSAT doesn’t actually use “most correct” like it claims. there’s actually only ever one right answer and every other answer will be excluded by one rule of logic or another. so only one answer will ever be completely correct

is there like a cheat sheet or a study guide type of thing for specific forms of questions? I remember I struggled the most with NA/SA/PSA

@soap: if you get above a 175 you should just reapply because you’d probably be competitive for penn nyu and cls at that point with scholly money

I scored 156 on my first LSAT in August, I cancelled that and retook it immediately in September and got 163. Do yall think I can cross into 170's if I start studying from like january to summer

VolatileClumsyAcolyte

14:00

because i've heard that any score increase after 165 is just as hard as from 145 to 160

I've been told by my parents that I cannot reapply because I have the full ride to UMN and so I better take whatever I can get lol

I’m going to have to disagree with soap on the point of doing the hardest questions first. I think it’s just a general waste of time to over complicate your strategy. You’re going to have do all the questions anyone. Ignore the clock and focus on one question at a time.

@VolatileClumsyAcolyte: it gets harder to increase your score as you go up, but if you work hard and consistently work on your mistakes it’s entirely possible you break 170

@soap: lol oh well just get top 10% a umn and then transfer to harvard because you come from a grade deflated undergrad and law school will be easy for you

soap

I think the order in which you do questions is a matter of personal preference. In PTs I've always scored better doing the hardest ones first, but that's just because it reduces the stress personally lol

soap

14:02

I guess since I'm paying for all this anyhow I could just wait and reapply lmao

texaslawhopefully

14:03

Yeah soap if you get a 175+, I would 100 percent reapply

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

14:03

hahahahah sure if you’re set on t14 it’s entirely attainable for you
