Man you've got a 99th percentile score and you want to re-do the grind and process again. If you think you can do better, go for it. But I don't know. Maybe ask during a Q & A with David the next time he does one.

I would move around answer author viewpoint questions or purpose questions first before moving on to the more time-sink questions that involve referring to specific points in the passage. As for skipping or moving around on the test, I don't recomm…

@Bamboosprout said: The application process is confusing for everyone, yup. And international students statistically have a lower chance of acceptance. T_T It's kind of a one-way trip. While it is true that you'll be able to become a profic…

I'm in Chongqing, not Tokyo, so I'm in a closer time zone to you than the North American or European students.

I did the October '18 International test and after I finished it, it was like a big burden was taken off. Before in September, I didn't want to really study at all. But I needed a long vacation from the LSAT after I took it. Luckily, I've got som…

A 165 is -15/-17. Your average is in the high 150s to low 160s. You're missing about 25-30 questions wrong. That is a huge hurdle to overcome to get half of that correct. You're on the up and up, but it is probably not realistic to reduce that g…

@"Leah M B" Gave you great advice. With your 171, you have a shot at NYU. A few points more, you may have a shot at others. Since you're a junior still, there isn't a rush to jump into law school especially now that you have a 171 in the bank. I…

I strongly advice against it. I'd also suggest taking an extended period off between school before going to law school. Slow down before you jump into something that will be a time sink in your life for three years. @10000019 gave you solid advic…

Honestly, I've been super deflated after the exam. Like a great burden has been lifted and I wonder what I will do next in my life. Back to some NBA 2k and Red Dead Redemption. If my score sucks, we'll start the game back up again in December.

Whoa WHOA WHOA! I remember answering a thread of yours earlier and you mentioned that you were missing a lot of questions. Forget about timing right now and focus on mastery. If you can only do 15 questions in 35 minutes, but get all of the quest…

Uh, I mean it's nice that the old webinars are on the podcast, but will there be novel content? Will it be consistently new content? I'd really enjoy it if there was a weekly podcast that was more than AMAs please.

YOU CAN RETAKE THE TEST! Just lower expectations a tad and focus on becoming a master of the test. What score you will get will not matter at this point, you're just giving yourself headaches. Focus on being a master at strengthening questions. Th…

These questions could represent a lack of knowledge on the process. That process is knowing how to select the right answer with confidence, or knowing how to eliminate 4 wrong answers with confidence. Many of the difficult questions on the test ma…

The Garden of Forking Paths led you down the road to the most mistakes.

Finished the test today in Hong Kong. Same as mentioned earlier with Rattlesnakes and Geese.

So you have a 158, that's very good. But if you get another 6-7 points, you can go to UCI with a significant scholarship. I suggest that you keep pushing yourself just that bit further so you can avoid the future pain of loan repayment .

@lsatgodjk said: @"Leah M B" Hey there, my 147 Official LSAT score's break down was this: LR 1: -10 LR 2: -12 LG: -13 RC: -14 (I have never practiced RC, I should) I think this is a pretty accurate break down. I think…
-
That's ok, just write an addendum stating why you have that difference. However, do be honest. For example, don't say you were a good student when you might have been partying like some people do today . If you were partying, admit it, and show t…
-
@MissChanandler I disagree. The difference from a 150 to a 157 is 12 questions correct. Yeow! @lsatgodjk need to get 3 to 4 more right per section. I think you need to use the analytics to target your weak areas and delay until you're able to hi…

I'm not. Don't believe the hype.

I think the November or bust is where you're kind of feeling under the pressure. Delay until you're hitting your target score consistently. @victoria. gave you great advice, and I'd add to do the easiest problems with regards to drilling so you ca…

You're doing 3 PTs a week? Did I read that right? At this point I think you should just stop doing PTs and start playing some NBA 2k19. I mean it could be that you're experiencing burnout or that the test makers threw you for a loop. Regardless I…

@alyhobbs I would post-pone until you can break into the 160s. I know you can do it and we can help you get there. But don't apply with a 155 or a 159.
-
I would do some serious soul searching. Take a long extended vacation. Read a book. Watch that Netflix series you've been missing out on. Give up on this cycle. If after some soul searching you find out that you still want to be a lawyer, then pr…

This is probably the best thread I've ever seen on post-test relief. It's ok that things didn't go well, I'll change a few things and kill it the next time. You're on the right path dude and I love your attitude. Please sticky this!

@"Leah M B" said: You have the right idea about BR. As you take the test under timed conditions, circle questions that you aren't 100% certain of. Then when the test is done, go back and review. Really dig into the question until you are 100% …

What is your BR process? Are you identifying the conclusion? Do you understand the relationship between the premises and the conclusion? What is wrong with the author's argument? Can you pre-phrase a right answer? I mean you're taking a test untime…

If you have the appropriate documentation and a statement from your doctor, they legally cannot deny you accommodations per the American Disabilities Act. LSAC was sued over this and they lost, so get the appropriate documentation from a licensed p…
