I would upgrade. Having all the drilling material and also all the tests is so valuable.
My quick tips for your LR challenges are to just drill by questions type and really spend a ton of time breaking down each question:
For SA, diagram everythi…
@jennybbbbb So I did not cram for one month. I studied super hard for over 7 months. Hundreds and hundreds of hours. I was referencing the OP's post where they said they crammed.
I actually did 12 games per day. I did not repeat the game after watc…
@TaylorAnn
I dedicated a lot of time each day. Usually 7-12 hrs a day in the beginning, and then probably more like 4-7 hrs a day once I was in the PTing phase.
I did 3 sections of LG per day. However, I didn't repeat the game like the conventiona…
@TaylorAnn Hey there, thanks!
In my mind, LG is truly about doing massive volume (with the correct processes, of course). I started fool proofing once I was done with the LG part of the curriculum, which I think is near the end of the curriculum.

I think someone would need to know a lot more specifics to give truly pinpoint advice, but I'll throw in a few thoughts.
First, I did read the Trainer, and I did it before 7Sage. I thought it was best for mindset on LR and RC. I would skip the LG s…
B is wrong because of the use of "commonly." Nowhere in the stimulus does it mention commonly performed actions. We simply do not know if the actions being considered are performed commonly or rarely.
I think it helps to really narrow in on the MUST be true nature of this question. That's a very narrow acceptable answer, given the limited information presented in the stimulus. We only know what's presented in the stimulus, so we should keep in mi…
I think it probably depends on the school. Read their requirements closely. I think (but not totally sure) that some schools ask specifically for academic LORs where you were taught by that person.
Also, are there any TAs that you had a semi-close …
It's hard to exactly predict how the GRE trend will shake out. It seems like in the next year or two, many many schools will accept the GRE.
That being said, a 156 diagnostic is really solid. And while logic games might seem foreign to you now, the…
@"Paul Caint" Don't think of these waivers as anything but positive. They are definitely a good thing. Saving money in your applications is very nice.
People are just cautioning you to not confuse it with thinking you've suddenly got a leg up in th…
I don't think you should read too much into it. Just be happy that they're waiving the fee for you.
Like @deansr said, they could be just trying to boost their applicant count, or they could be legitimately interested.
I really think you should take the test again. Commit yourself to it and study hard and improve. With your GPA and life accomplishments, it seems like you should be able to score much higher. That higher score will unlock schools and scholarships th…
I'm not sure there is a way to do this. Ultimately, they have to report your highest score to US News and the ABA, so that's all they really care about.
Do you have one more retake in you? If you are scoring in the 170s on PTs, I really think you c…
What are your section breakdowns?
I would definitely stick to 7Sage. I haven't personally taken a class but from what I can gather, they're not worth it. Group study calls from 7sage are a great way to get engaged and talking with other LSAT takers…
Tough call. Like Alex said, it seems like you're really smart and the sky is the limit for you. I think you could and should shoot for 170+ on the LSAT, and that will probably take several months. I would probably start studying at a sustainable pac…

Definitely some luck involved in this. For one question, I changed my answer 3 times in the last 30 seconds of the section. Ended up blind guessing the right answer.
@Sarah889 The icons have turned grey at about 4:30 eastern every time for the last ~10 releases. Occasionally, it's a bit later than that. Basically, 4 to 6:30 is the sweet spot for grey.
I think the most important thing is to be genuine and to have actions that back up your words. Given your family's history and that you took a year off college to work on issues that matter to you, it seems like you've got those actions. Ultimately,…
HYS, but even then I would expect to get at least something from their need based financial aid. At any of the other T14, I would really like at least 50% off, if not 75%.
