Skipping strategies should really help, if you're not already doing that. Listen to this webinar: https://classic.7sage.com/webinar/skip-it/

The newer tests are different, but not harder. I think it can take some people a few tests to adjust to the subtle differences (and the differences are minor).

Generally, I would say it means full tuition, not rent etc. When a school provides money for living expenses, that is usually called a stipend.
-
Definitely a good podcast. Gets you in a positive mindset. Thanks!
-
Probably won't kill you either way. I would hesitate to grade it. If you wake up tomorrow and just feel amazing then maybe take it. You could take only like 2 or 3 sections instead of the whole thing. The main point is to not let it ruin your con…

The key phrase in D is "would have agreed." We only know that these members were not consulted, we don't know if they do or do not agree. It's possible in fact that every member does in fact agree, in which case it would have been permissible to rel…

My impression was that PT80 LR was easier than 79 but harder than 81. It will vary depending on your personal strengths, how you feel that day, etc. Overall, every section is somewhat balanced.

Don't give in! The only important quality of a pencil is that it is dull. That way, you can bubble in answers faster. Marginal gains!
-
My understanding is that it looks just fine. There are plenty of valid reasons to cancel a score. Schools care about your highest score.
-
I actually recommend you practice RC untimed. If you're struggling with RC, having timed pressure is likely to make you simply reinforce bad habits. Instead, go slow and really analyze the passage, do the questions carefully, and build confidence. Y…

Do what the webinar says. @"Cant Get Right" has put a lot of very good thought into the practice of studying.
-
Not totally sure, but I believe it's the same size. If you are printing it, make sure the printer is doing actual size. I know when I first started printing the tests, my settings shrunk the page slightly.
-
Totally unqualified to answer this, but it seems like the limiting factor is flights out of your area or how far/easily you can drive.
-
Depends on how you feel and also how you've previously performed on practice tests after a break vs. with consecutive hard study days. If you think 7 days is too big a gap, then maybe take another practice test on Tuesday. If not, then just drill.…
-
I would just think about whether this exercise and your current mindset are beneficial to your upcoming performance next Saturday. It is an arbitrary game to some extent, but you've got to play that game if you want to be a lawyer. Stay positive, …
-
Also, are these necessarily February exams? My understanding was that they are just previously undisclosed. So they could be certain international tests or other special date tests... Generally though, I think the LSAC is good enough about making s…
-
Two days apart isn't really that much apart. Sudden drops in score are usually mindset issues. You had an especially off day on the first test, it got into your head and your confidence is shot. You've got to find a way to mentally reset. Go do so…
-
Fool proofing requires that you do a game until you get -0 on it well under 7Sage's recommended time. So a 7 minute recommended time game should be done around 4 minutes going -0. Also, fool proofing from only 40 games is simply inadequate. The rec…
-
Yes, I would say so. It's not the same as LG where you will be able to get to -0 almost every time. But I think repeated deliberate practice of passages in large volume is very helpful. The key is to spend the time really breaking down the passage…
-
The stimulus is diagrammed as follows: Promise of yielding insights into practical problems (X) → obligation to promote (Y) or contra-positively: No obligation to promote → no promise of practical insights. Answer choice A talked about something …

This is one where the negation test comes in handy. Negated, (C) says "The notion of blah blah has NO analog in organisms." If it truly has no analog, then how could the analogy stand?
-
Do not take 2-3 tests per week. That is way too many for where you're scoring and where you hope to one day score. You are likely to use up all the tests before you get to your goal. No offense, but I don't think you have the fundamentals down. You…
-
You need to continue to focus on fundamentals until your BR score is 175+. That means really practicing and reviewing core concepts and then doing drilling to reinforce them. Fool proofing games will work, but it takes a couple months, keep grindin…
-
I actually strongly disagree with @AJordanMD (but much respect to them, some great points and a clearly considered response). Average of my last 10 is 177, so I am familiar with what they are talking about. I think the idea behind volume in order …
-
A gap of 8 points is not unusual between timed and BR scores. The best way to raise your timed score is to raise your BR score. That is to say, to increase your fundamental understanding of the concepts of the test. If your knowledge of the test is…
-
A good BR is just as important as drilling, though both are important. I would do max 1 per 5 days, and also not do a full test in at least the 3 days prior to the test. You are just trying to keep the engine running and polishing off those 1 or 2…
-
If you do it every day before work, then do it before the test. You could drink slightly less than normal if worried about jitters. Like you said, stick to your routine.
-
Now the real thing will be a breeze!
-
I don't think you're missing out on all that much. The test hasn't changed drastically since then. Very little, really. You can buy single tests for somewhat cheap. Might be worth dropping $20-30 to get 2 or 3 of the most recent tests.

I spoke to an HYS former admissions officer and they said it would raise concern if there was a noticeable gap on the resume right before applying. So there's one point of data. But maybe you could find a way to explain that you were being productiv…
