  • @"Pride Only Hurts" said: I've delayed twice now. I'm positive you made the right choice! You're amazing! It takes guts and you did it twice. You've got this! What exam are you looking at now?
  • @keets993 said: Proud of you You played a huge role in this decision and I'm so grateful you've also decided to delay! November BR group and DT meet ups... we are out there
  • @Tom_Tango said: Good for you and for having self awareness. Very good trait. Law school will always be there. literally. If you don't have a terminal illness, there is absolutely no reason for you to rush the LSAT and rush going to law school…
  • @"Beast Mode" said: @AshleighK I was literally in the same boat and I came to the realization that there is no point taking the exam when my intuition was telling me that I wasn't ready. I decided that it's better to have time to relax and e…
  • @danielbillostas said: I agree with Beast Mode. It takes a lot to push back the test date but it is like what you said, "the LSAT will always be there" I think your discipline to know that you will have to put in more work when you are at a be…
  • You ruined Toy Story 3 for me. I'm never gonna watch this scene without thinking about this post lmfaoo
  • @"Beast Mode" said: Very well said. It takes a lot to push the test back but pays so much dividends later. The LSAT journey is no other. I delayed the test date as well. To anyone struggling, don't feel guilty or make yourself feel bad for not…
  • I'm getting better at these but what helped me is revisiting the lessons, doing some practice sets of hard/medium/ easy in/out games, and FPing those types too. Still have a lot of work to do to perfect it but it's helped I did this once and just k…
  • I've been feeling this way too. Since May I've done nothing but study for the LSAT. To be fair, I took about 3 weeks off to travel and I didn't touch a single thing. I spent May-June finishing the CC and took 1 PT at the end of June and I only reall…
  • Love these posts. Congrats! Funny you posted these motivating words, I've been beating myself up the last few days and wanted to give up. Best of luck to you!
  • I put it in my work experience. I have a section that's entitled "teaching experience" and I put my TA job and tutoring under it!
  • What I used to do (I'm gonna go back to doing this) is going through the passages and doing the ones I like first then the ones I "don't" like last. I usually just skim through the 4 passages take a glimpse at the first line and determine the subjec…
  • @ecarr_12 said: Thank you so much everyone! I actually went back where I left off and finished the PT and ended up only scoring 3 points below my avg. Albeit, it probably doesn't represent how I would've done without a break, but after reading…
  • @ecarr_12 said: @AshleighK Oh my god, it was also PT 72! haha maybe it was a combination of not being in the right mindset and having RC as the first section LMFAOOO I feeeeel you trust me. I had a session with a tutor right before and my mi…
  • Lol I contemplated this too into PT 72. I was doing RC and I realized it was going to be a shit show and I was just so thrown off. I debated on stopping but I pushed through. I did terrible but tbh I'm glad I did because there's a lot to learn. Don'…
  • Ok yeah adding to this: 72 wrecked me and my self-esteem. I took a long shower after I took it and contemplated my life. I intend to watch Brooklyn Nine-nine soon to lift my spirits lmao
  • @TTurner24 said: Yes, PT 72, I found very difficult. Don't be to hard on yourself. I'm also taking the LSAT in Sept. Finish BR, realize what you did wrong and move on. It's just one PT out of many that you took. Everything will …
  • @eRetaker said: I thought PT 72+ was when the LR and RC both changed into "most strongly supported" types of questions which made things very difficult. Every section went terribly for me on that PT, sooo I personally thought it deserved at le…
  • @Chandymen said: p.s. I dropped 5 points. I went down 3 and it was just a slap in the face because I was getting closer to my goal but yeah it's made me feel a lot better too. I'm BRing it now and there's still a few questions I got wrong e…
  • @eRetaker said: @AshleighK PT 72 was a ridiculously tough exam. Here is a relevant thread where the rest of us were complaining about it lol. https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/17293/give-me-your-toughest-pts This makes m…
  • @"samantha.ashley92" said: My LR on PT 72 wasn't exactly my best haha. I went -17. To give you an idea of what that means for me, my diagnostic was -22. I felt like I hadn't made any improvement. However, LG was pretty normal for me (-6). I th…
  • @LSAT_Wrecker said: One LSAT is a single data point. It has value in that you should review the test AND your test taking processes to identify areas for improvement. However, one score, high or low, does not define you completely. Lebr…
  • I just drilled PT 71's RC and I found it to be very difficult. It has the famous mirror passage. If you wanted to challenge yourself and check it out, go for it while you're at it lol
  • Also keep in mind the different types of NA - Is it a shielding or a bridging type? This helps me with hunting for the correct AC. Shield: protects the idea Bridging: basically like SA And ofc use the negation trick. If you get stuck the easiest…
  • Looking forward to this to give me an extra motivator to kill the September exam
  • Congrats! Good to see another Miami local here. If I’m honest, money is a big concern to me too. I would go for FIU if it’s a make or break. Sure UM has a bigger name but if it’ll put you into a difficult financial situation, don’t do it. I think st…
  • Really needed this.
  • I think anything is possible. I went from a 145 diagnostic and December 17' score to a 153 timed and BR 158 post CC. It's all about strategy, how dedicated you'll be, and the amount of work you're willing to put in. Figure out your weaknesses and st…
  • @ChaimtheGreat said: I wish I could learn to sleep better. How much sleep does one get on average in Law School? Can't be good lol. Right?! It really depends for me. If I have an exam, crazy week, or a bunch of personal things going on, my s…
