@"Kings Never Die" @Sikamabbey @pgrahamcpa Looking forward to seeing you there!
-
@joycool9567 Ultimately, it just depends. The risk of always timing is that you feel rushed and you end up reinforcing bad habits. That being said, you're right that developing a sense of timing is important. So people just need to sort of gauge how…

@"Rigid Designator" Good question. I worked really hard to try to be able to sense when I was getting a question wrong. I think any time that you feel like it's a weird correct answer, you should be very suspicious. For me, I often misunderstood th…

@jkatz1488 it has yet to happen! But I think it will be, based on the previous two AMAs
-
I never timed myself. I think it's better to do the questions correctly and analyze them deeply than to rush. You should get plenty of practice on timed work by doing proctored PTs.
-
@TaylorAnn I did underline and circle certain words. You've got to find a style that works for you. I didn't go totally crazy annotating passages because I felt that detracted from my absorbing the information. On the other hand, I find that underli…

Good to hear. When you blind review RC passages, go into as much detail as possible. Type out summaries for each paragraph, then write down the main point, purpose, tone, viewpoints, and structure. Doing this repeatedly will help you to read for th…

Have you tried contacting LSAC for accommodations? I have a close friend who is very similar in her learning style/abilities and she did get accommodations for other standardized tests. I don't know if LSAC would do the same but it is for sure worth…

Reading through a passage in 2:30 is really fast. I would slow down. 3:30 is still a quick read. On average, you've got 8.5 minutes per passage, but that means more like 10 minutes for the hardest passage. I would not hesitate to spend as much as 4.…
-
Glad to hear it! It definitely takes time to sink in, and the grind can be exhausting.
-
I think you will get some, and based on how quickly they came I think you will be able to use some. Probably wouldn't wait more than 2 weeks-ish though.
-
Same as Mitchell, got one from NYU but not Berkeley. 177/~3.8
-
I will apply almost all of the T14. Really love a good number of schools in there. Scholarship negotiation is a reality of law school applications and with fee waivers to almost all of those schools it won't hurt to apply.
-
Do not exclusively focus on one section. You will learn better by mixing it up. Sure, emphasize improving your weakest areas, but don't abandon everything else. Fool proof LG by doing games repeatedly from PTs 1-35. With only a few weeks until Dece…

I agree that you should experiment. Ultimately, I think most people will find highlighters to be unnecessary and a hinderance. When I first started out, I used a highlighter. But as I progressed, I found that a pencil works just fine and saves you …
-
Both are working for me. I find the LSAC website to be temperamental. Sometimes it takes logging out and back in or restarting your browser... @"rifqa.bary" Yale application opened on Friday. Giddy up.
-
I got the Cornell waiver on Oct 20. 177/~3.8 Don't think I got one from BU, but I don't intend on applying there so I may have just deleted it.
-
I'm sure the difference between dull and sharp pencils is like max 10-15 seconds, but it's an easy marginal gain. @"Alex Divine" I just used the basic yellow ticonderoga pencils. I never really got into all the pencil nuances.
-
@FerdaFresh and @Sami I bubbled on page turns. AND DULL PENCILS ARE THE WAY TO GO!! But actually. I just used a dull pencil for the entire test. You get used to it and you bubble way faster.
-
I don't think applying in early January is late. Plenty of people who apply then are accepted. Especially if you have a significantly higher score, it's better to apply in January than now. It kind of depends on just how much you end up raising your…
-
From what I've heard, you don't have to entirely change your PS for the new application. You would have to make noticeable edits, but I don't think you would need to throw the whole thing out.
-
@dcdcdcdcdc Yes. It's possible you didn't sign up for the Candidate Referral Service (CRS).
-
I think it would be worth it. 7Sage taught me the foundations of logic, which helps a ton on both types of assumption questions, as well as certain flaw questions. JY is also great at explaining the structure of flawed arguments on the LSAT.
-
I suppose you could write a short, matter-of-fact addendum that basically just says, "I didn't study at all on the first take. I took the LSAT more seriously, I studied, and I scored nearer to my ability on the second take." But, as Mikey said, a l…
-
Great post. You can do it!
-
I think it depends on your level of ability. If you're really good at LR, or at least certain question types, and you are quite confident you know the answer choice after reading the stimulus, then yeah do a kind of scan for the anticipated answer …
-
@acsimon nails it.
-
Do 5 sections tests, unless you are really trying to preserve your PTs because you're either super far from your actual test date or have a long way to go to reach your goal score.
-
Where I live, one can get a deferral for a later date.

Once LORs are sent to LSAC, they are valid for 5 years.
