@"Chipster Study" said: So, I finally got around to broaching the subject to an admissions dean that I know socially about the GRE vs. LSAT issue. Their school is not taking GRE right now and they said even if they do take it down the road, fo…

@LindseyDC said: I was just wondering on average how long it is taking people to get through the core curriculum. I won't be applying to schools this year like I had planned, and wondered how many of you are able to stay on track... or have to…

Unless you're an AA URM, you have virtually no chance with your stats as they are now of gaining admission into a T14 school. You should absolutely retake if your goal is a T14 school. I think with about a 167-168 score you would have a great shot a…

In the journey to my very irregular -0 on LG, I have found having a consistent approach to games very important. Many of the mistakes holding me back from the -0 range have been ones that have been largely fixed by following a set procedure for each…

@kshutes13 said: One of the lessons I completed had 14 problem sets which I did all in one sitting -- 6 hours later, I was totally drained, very loopy, and a little discouraged. Do you guys complete every single lesson's problem sets befo…

It doesn't seem that there are really any credible rankings for combined JD/MSW programs. The few I came across (US Newsweek) seemed to just be an aggregate of JD + MSW programs. Syracuse Law came up in the top 5 which gave me pause considering thei…

@pbjsje said: My target score is honestly just the 50th percentile at this point. A 150 would be fine with me for the school I'm looking at. My timed PTs are around 143-145 and my BR scores have been 149 and 153. I know my weaknesses are LR an…

@TinaTheLlama said: @"Alex Divine" : LR: I've just started getting close to finishing all the questions in the sections. I'm answering 23-24 and getting 18-21 (~ -6,-5). BR has been going more quickly. RC: I can score anywhere from …

@"k.have110" said: So I have done just a few PT's now and I keep getting 145s. I miss early questions in LR that I am trying to fine tune and I miss about 8 to 10 questions in LG and I am missing about 16 in RC. Currently I am working on impro…

@stephy9518 said: So I decided to wait till after graduation from college to officially start my law school journey. I pushed my LSAT back and then withdrew. I do still want to go to law school and definitely see it in my plans but timing does…

@pbjsje said: So I've been getting pretty low scores on my PT's before BR, but my BR scores are significantly higher: 10+ points. Clearly, I grasp most of the material. It seems I just am having trouble executing under timed conditions. How sh…

@"Human Becoming" said: hey Alex, could you add me to the group? I'm gonna take it in December and Feb, with June as a backup. Thanks a lot for creating the group. I'll add you to the roster! Good luck on December

@butler17 said: So I have been struggling with hitting my desired score under timed conditions but I finally did it today. I've adjusted my study schedule and allowed myself time to actually live and i think that has really made a difference. …

@mikeelliott said: Hi there, Does anyone have any tips on how to answer an LR question that has a passage that you simply can't understand? This happens infrequently, but it is quite troubling for me when it does happen. When this happens…

When I get stuck between 2 answer choices (which used to have a F***ton when I began prepping) I realized that it was usually caused by one of two things. First, either the question was just designed to have two super attractive answer choices. Seco…

Take the year and go on to score a 170. Having a large scholarship and/or getting into a better school will be worth it. As far as what to do before the December LSAT, what are you score breakdowns? You listed how you do on BR but I think to get th…

@kimmy_m66 Doggone it, I really need to stop taking PTs in my boxers, lmao. I also lovd @Sami 's idea of having LSAT-specific clothing. I think I'm going to pick out some special LSAT clothes to wear that are comfortable and get used to taking the t…

@lsatyayy Just did this question earlier this week! So for (C) if the number of errors in the reporting data have increased, then that casts doubt on the argument presented in the stim, that because of the data reported, they conclude a decline in…

I felt this was one of my exact issues when I first began prepping. And as a result, I felt like I had the same approach of reading things a few times before I was able to "take it in." Early on, I just practiced reading more deliberately than I was…
