@Broccoli180 said: @tylerdschreur10 there's a curve in lsat? Technically it's scaled, but often you'll find people calling really challenging LSAT questions "curve breakers" since they seem to do a good job at separating people between score…

@Broccoli180 said: Do you guys write down explanations on your notebooks? I type them out, but only so I can store them and actually read them. My handwriting looks like a drunken baboon's (whatever that looks like...) If I miss a question …

@booyboo said: I've just started the LG section of the CC and I can't even set up the board game correctly in some of the questions. When did you start seeing improvement? Like you, I started off not even being able to set up a game board. O…

@margarita said: @"Alex Divine" Usually around 15-17, but if I try to read faster and do more questions it usually drops to around 13 on average So I think there are a couple options for someone in your shoes. First, you can schedule your L…

@margarita said: Hello everyone! I was hoping that someone could give me some advice on how to tackle the LSAT if you are a slow reader. A little background: I wrote the LSAT this past september, scored 145, rewrote in December and sc…

@ppcoelho1 said: Thank you @"Alex Divine" @"Seeking Perfection" @westcoastbestcoast. I got into Cornell!! Congrats man! Definitely one of my top choices. Maybe I'll be seeing you there in a couple years

I can't thank you for all your help along my LSAT journey.... You are a hero and a friend, Dave! Congrats! No one deserves it more than you my man

First, take a PT and see where you're at so you have an idea of what to do next. Second, watch this aptly titled webinar: https://classic.7sage.com/webinar/post-core-curriculum-study-strategies/ I like The LSAT Trainer and would recommend checking…

You can always sign up for the June take if you think you can improve your LSAT. Do you have any relevant info to add to your app? A new work position, awards, etc.?

@sjej_jr2017 said: Do you have a full proof method(s) on how to address assumption type questions? Am still struggling with that portion. Thanks. For assumption family questions in LR you need to be able to weed through the excess verbiage i…

@shortnblu said: @"Alex Divine" said: Unfortunately, with your stats as they are now (3.67/167) there's no a good chance of being admitted to UVA. If you can get your score up to a 169/170, your chances will go up significantly. I …

@jimmyrivera201 said: Hello @"Alex Divine", I reach out to her a couple of time but no respond about meeting in NYC. I'll talk to her tonight at our BR group and see if she's still interested in doing this study group

@shortnblu said: Hi all, I applied to UVA Law via their binding decision as of a few days ago. I am also currently registered to sit for the February 2018 LSAT. Currently my numbers are 167/3.67 which I know is a stretch for UVA. I am cur…

@"surfy surf" said: So I’ve been spending 3-4hrs BR’ing LGs using Pacifico’s method every night after my 8-5 job on weekdays and then 3-4 hours on Saturday and Sunday as well. I’ll work on one new game and then repeat a game from the day befor…

@jzzraven All of the above, haha. If you shoot me a PM, I can send you an Excel spreadsheet I made that tracks all games, PTs 1-83.

1) Do both. Memorize the inferences as well as practice making them. You'll need to do both to be successful on future games. If you're having trouble reproducing them then chances are you haven't properly memorized the correct inferences. 2) Do pe…

It depends. If the work I've done on the other questions in that game can help me answer the question I was stuck on, then I may attempt it at the end of that particular game. If I was just stuck. period. Then I think coming back at the end of the …

@pioneer321 said: First, I just wanted to mention that there are probably tons of people who score(d) under 170 who may have particularly useful advice on topics like this one. I was consistently getting -1/2 on LR before scoring 170s. Perhaps…

@teamteamvicster said: Hi! I would love to join. Last time was great. I'm Victoria, by the way, and Sami totally moved my thinking forward. Alex--on the Google calendar, it says 9:30-11. Is this correct or are we starting at 730? Talk …

@akeegs92 said: Slightly different question but in the same ballpark: I've seen different scholarship amounts for similar LSAT/GPA combinations. Is this due to softs mainly (excluding URM's)? That likely accounts for some of them for sure.

@aciss038 said: That last part is GOLD. I’m going to try this. Thanks so much! You got it! I bet if you do 10-15 parallel questions using that drill then you'll start to see some major improvements!
-
Sadly, there's no fool proof method for LR; just drilling by type, which I highly recommend if you're having trouble with SA/Parallel reasoning questions. Those questions are best mastered by making sure you're solid on conditional logic since they …

For the schools that give need based aid, there's separate apps to fill out. Other named scholarships you must apply for, but most schools just look at your numbers and make their decision that way. Any particular school/scholarship that you're wond…
