  • Why isn't postponing an option? You're claiming the only option you have is to take arguably the most important test of your life, even if you're unprepared? Also, any particular reason why didn't you BR reading comp? I guess if I had no choice, I…
  • Check out this webinar by Sage @"Cant Get Right" : https://classic.7sage.com/webinar/post-core-curriculum-study-strategies/ I think it is immensely helpful when you've just completed the CC. In short, I think your experience with your first PT is …
  • I have found a mix of doing both individual games and sections both helpful. If a have an issue with a particular game in a section, I then fool proof that one by itself.
  • Because HLS recently started accepting GRE scores, we don't have any reliable data on what is good enough. I'm going to agree with @"Kings Never Die" and guess that you'll almost certainly need to be in the 99th%-tile for GRE scores as well. I'm sur…
  • Properly blind review your section/practice test: https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/the-blind-review-is-a-habit/ Then you're likely going to want to spend time returning to the CC to review lessons and drill what question types are giving you troubl…

  • I think if it goes through it will be very much like B-school where they can decide to take the GMAT or GRE. We will just have the LSAT and GRE. I think it may also negatively affect splitters since law schools can stack GRE/LSAT/GPA combos. I also …
  • @Ignatius said: I've recently decided to postpone my Dec test date till June. It was a very tough decision! I'd love to be a part of this study group. You guys are awesome. Happy to hear you'll be joining us!
  • @lsatplaylist said: @"Alex Divine" , Thanks for the reply. I thought the LR Workshops were on Mondays. Did they decide on Wednesdays instead? Yeah, it looks like it!
  • @"samantha.ashley92" said: Ok so we should do PT36 before the first session? I'll post all of the details next week when everything is set in stone. But yes, our first blind review group meeting will be BR'ing PT36 (December 2001 LSAT) Do…
  • I think it would be very helpful to send your tutor footage of you taking a timed section. This way they can give you some objective advice on how to improve. However, even with the most helpful strategies, you still need to practice executing them…

  • I'd just like to add that every anecdote above mentions someone who graduated over 25 years ago. Since, the profession has undergone some pretty big structural changes and 2 recessions. Also, many more new law schools have opened and it's changed ra…
  • @"Grace..." said: I would like to join. I am aiming for Dec. and Feb. exams. Will you be hosting BR calls as well? Yes, our BR calls will begin in December!
  • @jbodnovich said: Should I take a practice test too see where my weaknesses are and then start to focus on them or follow how my Kaplan goes and then take practice test? Hmm.. I'm not too familiar with Kaplan's system so I can't speak on how…

  • @10000019 said: Thanks for the feedback. Fping games was next to do on my list for February, but now that I'm so short on time I'm not sure if I can afford to FP the earlier games. Judging by your LG scores, I don't think you can afford not …

  • The prudent thing to do is to accept you messed up and re-adjust your timeline. Unless you're within a few points of your score goal, I'd probably say to plan on taking the test at a later date and applying next cycle. Learning the fundamentals is a…
  • Where are you currently scoring/BR'ing and where you do want to ultimately score?
  • Seems like a possibility if you can get LG nailed down and LR more consistent. You might be better served if you spend time fool proofing games BEFORE doing another PT. Simply doing PT after PT isn't a great way to improve. Your last two PTs make i…

  • @"laura.w918" said: Hi everyone, so with the long LR drills from test 70-79. Do any of you time them? or do you just do these questions free form to further understand things. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks! I personally don't …
