  • @"Cant Get Right" said: @danielznelson said: 176??? Dude way to go! CLUTCH! Yeah man, went -0 on RC which brought it home. I guess sitting in on those Thursday night sessions paid off! The elusive -0 on RC! Damn, Josh. Yo…
  • Usually JY has the explanations sometime after the PT is released.
  • @mzoodle said: So, hypothetically, I can take the LSAT in December, and apply when I get my score, and still have the possibility of getting a scholarship? Am I at a disadvantage if I only apply in December with the December LSAT score, or, in…
  • Yeah I'd say so. It's not perfect but it gives you a great idea. In my opinion, it's about as close as it's gonna get. You can choose to just enter in a single GPA/LSAT score without ranges. http://mylsn.info/wxqzym/ Just choose "automatic" inste…
  • @tylerdschreur10 said: @"Evan Neustater" said: Hey everyone, Just got my LSAT score back and got a 171! I'm super pumped about it, it's expanded my school list considerably. My GPA, however, might be a problem. It…
  • If your goal is international law, I would always go for the prestige factor above anything else. So yes, I think it would be worth it.
  • There is a separate lesson on "Some and Most Relationships"
  • @"Pink Dust" said: @"Alex Divine" said: I would focus on drilling and solidifying fundamentals. I've truly realized that a mastery of the basics is sufficient to score in the 160s on this exam. Also, make sure you fool proof games …
  • @Kateryna said: @"Alex Divine" i am doing them untimed, so i am taking as much time as needed Oh.. So the questions you are missing are not under timed conditions?
  • I would focus on drilling and solidifying fundamentals. I've truly realized that a mastery of the basics is sufficient to score in the 160s on this exam. Also, make sure you fool proof games to get those as close to -0 as possible. It is true that t…
  • I use a three ring binder with sheet protectors. It's nice to be able to take them out to review, move them around, and keep things organized.
  • NU and Mich seem to be extra friendly to splitters these past few years. With your GPA/LSAT, I would consider applying to most of the T13 minus HYS, uChi, and Berk. You'll get something with that LSAT. There's no top school that values engineering …
  • @sharitamd said: I have sent private messages to each of you. Thank you so much! Anyone else who is interested but does not want to post publicly, I forgot to mention that you can private message me. Thanks again! I edited my "WHY" since …
  • @ryan___m said: @"Alex Divine" said: My thoughts are you are probably onto something. Still, I don't think it accounts for the whole picture. I definitely think someone who needs to study less for the LSAT to score the same score (…
  • @catgonzalez1974 said: yeah, they have to keep checking the back of the book for the correct answers. It takes a lot of time. LOL!
  • @mcglz_64 said: @Alex Divine " is the CC the entire syllabus or whatever pops up on your scheduler? I haven't completed eithe but want to make sure I'm doing the right stuff. Is the entire syllabus does the order matter? Yes, the CC consist…
  • @tanes256 said: Hey, guys! Does anyone find strengthen questions harder than weaken questions? I'm not really sure if you should find one easier than the other but for some reason my brain says that strengthen should be easier than weaken. I g…
  • My thoughts are you are probably onto something. Still, I don't think it accounts for the whole picture. I definitely think someone who needs to study less for the LSAT to score the same score (all else being equal) is probably smarter. However, I t…
  • Yes, it is worth it. Having all of the PTs and drill materials (with explanations) is what I attribute so much of my improvement to. Sure, one can always find explanations other places, but I truly think JY's video explanations are so much better. …
  • Hey @mcglz_64 , Question: have you previously completed the CC in its entirety? That would be the first thing I recommend. Otherwise, return to, and review the lessons as needed. As for timing issues with LG, I truly have full faith in 7Sage's foo…
  • Absolutely! You still have a chance. With a high LSAT score, almost anything is possible. Maybe T13 schools are out of the cards, but if you score a 170+ I think you'll still be competitive as some decent schools. Put all your energy into doing we…
  • Yeah, the US is similar in this regard. At most schools, your application will remain "on hold" until your LSAT score comes in. But technically, you can still apply.
  • Tomorrow and Friday I get to learn from an LSAT legend! This week is going to be freakin' awesome Thank you @"Cant Get Right" !
  • @Kateryna said: @"Alex Divine" my issue with drilling by type is that there is no one type i miss the most. they are pretty equal. the questions i miss normally are 4-5 "star" difficulty and are towards the last questions in the section. Do …
  • @Kateryna said: @"Alex Divine" yeah, it does irritate me when i miss -4 per section, and it happens 50% of the time ugh. thank you for suggestions. i appreciate them. Of course I was plateaued missing -4 per section for almost 2 months. Wh…
  • @Kateryna said: @"Alex Divine" u mean -3 for both LR sections? No, on each section. Again, that's not a hard and fast rule by any means. Just my suggestion. I found that until I was consistently only missing -3 or so per section, my time was…
  • The common wisdom is that a 4.0 in Thespian Dance Interpretation from Podunk Community College is going to be preferable than a 3.9 in Physics from MIT. In essence, numbers are what matter most. However, I do think admissions officers may take a mor…
  • @Kateryna said: @"Alex Divine" ugh, i am now doing my 9th PT just for LR from older LSATs and still cant get to that -1/-0 consistency. I am doing on average -7/-8 for TWO LR sections, but i would love to be around -3/-2 mark for both LR secti…
  • @samuelakuhn said: Diagnostic of 152, three months later took the September 2017 LSAT and got a 176. Thanks JY and co.! So awesome! My only question: What type of pencils do you use?
  • @miriamsanchez307 said: I've been studying for my LSAT, and I have so many burning questions & no one to go to. My pre-law advisor never answers my emails, my friends are already in law school & are "too busy" to help & my parents …
