Yes, if they have any idea what law school is.

One PT is more than enough. If you're doing it properly, doing BR, and analyzing each wrong question, and understanding your biggest weaknesses, then, unless you're PT scores are above 170 consistently, a PT should take you at least a week to comple…

The day before test day, I like to wake up even earlier than the normal routine, so that I'm pretty sleepy by the time I usually go to sleep, and get get a deeper sleep.

I basically cycle between 2 months on and two months off. Start every day with meditation on how to be good and what life means to me. Constantly read, exercise, and have at least one other commitment (either job or volunteering, or family, etc).

I think the cheapest course has the same amount of CC as the most expensive course. I took time off work to study full time, and the CC took me more than a month. That included at least 5-8 hours of solid actual studying time, with an hour or two of…

That's my plan also. Take it easy, don't stress the destination, and enjoy the journey, everyone. Also, I've started sleeping at 9pm and waking at 6am everyday to get me into the right physical condition.

Take them to get experience and get comfortable with the feeling of anxiety on a real test. Make sure you don't burn yourself out. I remember taking two PTs the week before my first actual test and that exhausted me. People often stress that you sho…

@180lsatgroup said: I've managed a handful of 180 PT's, a couple this past week. July score is a few points below. Re-taking in Sep. What? Why??? What can you do with a 180 or 179 that you can't do with a 177 or 176? I guess you have to l…

That's a good way to phrase it, and will fix your problems. My understanding of why this is the case is that grammar is different from logic. Grammar can have many discrete divisions when counting numbers, but in logic, it's necessary to have some …

Good luck! Hope we all do well next weekend. For me, I usually just read 30 minutes of philosophy. It's easier on the mind than doing practice questions, but still gets my mind active.

That's comforting to know. Phew.

Hello, it's my first time joining a gotomeeting call. It asks for a room ID. Do I just enter the number in the url, 879623125?

Historically, only 0.01% of people get that score... so yeah, it would make sense that perhaps a few 7sagers would have this score. It'll be curious to see what kind of people get a 180, and how big a component luck is on test day, and what other fa…

@LSATisland said: Haha @Bamboosprout! Well you gotta start somewhere. Crito is great and if you start with it, you might want to take a look at a great law professor's analysis of the Crito, law and friendship: https://bit.ly/2MGfZEA T…

Depends on if you have cash to burn. If yes, then go for it. Especially if you aren't confident you can get the LSAT score you want on your first try. Most people will retake and even take years of studying before getting a LSAT score they're happy …

Oh no. Don't be too hard on yourself. I remember seeing you on the forums before and seeing that you're definitely a strong lsat taker. I think I have two pieces of thought to share: First, burnouts (I assume depression leads to burnout, and is cau…

Woot! What a great feeling! Hope you get more opportunities to relive this sensation!

Thanks for sharing those two examples. The anarchy one was hard. I had no idea without your bolded explanations. I still have no idea how to approach them except to eliminate all other answers. I just can't focus on the definition of words while rea…

I think a common mistake for new students is to focus too much on PTs and BR. Those are important, but essentially useless unless you understand why you're doing them. To actually have a grasp on how to make the most out of PTs and BR, you have to h…
