Nice progress! I think you should aim to work up to and do most of the 50s, 60s, 70s and PT80-81 before sitting for your test in September. This way you can save all of 1-35 for drilling and timed sections. If you want to put some of the newer PTs…

Congrats on not giving up! I think it's pretty clear Powerscore isn't working for you. Powerscore overall isn't bad per se, but I think it's reminiscent of a bygone era. I'm obviously a bit biased because I use 7Sage and it is what has worked for m…

@JustDoIt said: Yay! I have to upload a new photo when I get home then time to register! Whew!

Yes, I would memorize them. They are useful anywhere you encounter conditional logic on the test. However, more important than simply memorizing them is making sure you understand them. Question types like Inference questions, S.A, and Parallel rea…

@JustDoIt said: 1. Don't test. 2. Sign up for 7Sage 3. Complete the core curriculum 4. Start PTing again 5. Re-evaluate your position. I'm not plugging but honestly my score wouldn't be where it's at without the strategies an…

Making sure I get enough sleep, eat well, and exercise. Jknauf makes a good point about avoiding long periods of isolation. I find that is one thing that makes my brain mushy after a while.

Congrats on that very sexy score! Don't let a bad section get you down -- we've all been there! Headaches are the worst. I have extreme sensitivity to light and get migraines quite often. When that happens, stay away from screens and take a break.…

@tringo335 said: Great question @sopie74 .... can I add another layer? Does anyone know which T14 schools that tend to be 'splitter friendly'? Yeah NU is definitely your best T14 option as a splitter, especially if you have above a 170.

@"Dillon A. Wright" said: Thanks guys, we're aware of the issue and are looking into it. @"Alex Divine" - try to load a lesson via the syllabus. It's not loading for anyone at the moment. Damn, I'm late to the party as always. At least…

Yeah, also read about that 6-week delay. That's wack, but I'm sure it will be a very valuable experience. I'm so curious to here how it is for you guys taking it!
-
Just checked (Time is 5:40 EST) and it works for me. You guys using Chrome? Also, try clearing cache and reloading the page then.

I would actually recommend against taking the test, even if you're 90% ready. Although many schools might not average test scores anymore, the adcoms still consider those scores, and you still end up using a take. Then again, that's just my perspec…
-
Yeah, I hear ya. If you haven't even finished the CC then I think taking the loss for June is best. It can easily take hundreds of hours to master LG and fool proof properly. I don't think it can be done properly in a month unfortunately. The good …

You're the man @jkatz1488 Gracias!

Not a stupid question at all! Actually tons of question types will play on your understanding of necessity and sufficiency. I think the most common questions that may require us to map out the conditional logic on the LR section are: MBT and Paral…

@dyyaneva said: @"Alex Divine" Thank you! I guess that involves me deciding the rest of my life hey... sweet :P I haven't made my mind up if I want Canada/Australia but I suppose after I get feedback from North American law schools I can weigh…
-
The above info is correct, you'll need somewhere between 55 and 67 Q's correct. However, if your last test was a 144, I would highly recommend waiting until September, or possibly later. Then again, I suppose if you spend the next month drilling LG…

Congrats @AllezAllez21

@famjad14 , I definitely encountered a similar problem while trying to prep with a demanding job. Although I ultimately decided to take a leave to study, I definitely learned what worked for me and what just burnt me out... I would try to wake up e…

@TheoryandPractice said: What are some of your strategies to get excited for this section? I enjoy the process of studying for LR and RC, but not LG. I think I naturally enjoy anything that has to do with literary comprehension, but LG …

Congrats for getting into the best Australian law schools! Unfortunately, I think it is going to come down to where you want to practice. Canada has a more .... je ne sais pas .... active legal market. I don't know anything about the harshness of …

I've looked at a few of them back when I started prepping and as @extramedium says above, you don't really have to worry about them unless English is an issue. Otherwise, maybe practice doing a few of them before you sit for the test just to get a f…

Yes, many schools have registration that opens sometime in mid-late September.

Yes, I would recommend following the course. Before I did 7Sage I used some books and decided to re-learn some of JY's diagramming methods and how to diagram/understand condition logic. I feel a lot of the other courses out there either over-complic…
-
I've heard of people doing this, but I don't think you should go to such extreme measures unless you have a problem with endurance to begin with. Also, I wouldn't jump into doing 2 PTs back to back. Perhaps try doing a 6 section PT. But maybe after…
