@msk12345 said: My average for reading comp. is -1 to -3. Some sections I go -0 and some I go -4. I've always read a lot, and my strength on past standardized tests has been reading comprehension. While I agree that reading comp is the section…

@unclesysy said: Yeah, you're not going to like my answer. I got -1 on my diagnostic and pretty much stayed in the range without much "studying." I never did the RC core curriculum. I did have a little inconsistency during PTs, and the only…

@NotMyName said: I never went -0 in RC but I did go from -8 avg to -4 avg. What helped me most was getting better at identifying the function of paragraphs (support, competing view, authors recommendation etc) and building brief (less tha…

@tekken1225 said: My friend who read these things for enjoyment over the course of years, is basically a reading comprehension savant. Thinks RC in this test is a joke. Well, that's just unfortunate for me.

I made it a habit to switch pencils every section so that I don't have to think about it. I sharpen them during the break as well. I bring 4 new pencils and 3 old ones to every test, and typically use them all by the end because I need 4 or 5 for th…

Ok, at this point in LR, you're basically set. After you've finished flaw question, you only really need to go over Necessary Assumptions (basically the hardest and most important type of question on the LSAT), and to refine your weaknesses, which y…

@keets993 said: @keepcalmandneuron if it makes you feel better, and I think it will, most people drop like crazy on PT72. Like it's notorious for being one of the toughest PT's out there. Hahahaha, this didn't apply to me... actually, the op…

@oshun1 said: You’re not a fraud and you shouldn’t get so down on yourself. Not to bring negativity into this post but I think this is a serious fundamentals issue or over/under confidence issue which you need to work out. If you sporadically …

Record yourself, and use the analytics to recognize your weaknesses in question types, and behavior and timing. Use intensive sessions to focus on question types, and takes notes on bad behavioral and timing habits to try to fix those problems. Pay …

I hear it's pretty casual, and that the goal is to test your rapport with current students. So while it is good to be professional, your goal shouldn't be the answer every question in the most optimal way to tick off as many boxes on a criteria on p…

Smart casual. Smart so that you look presentable, but casual so that you're comfortable. It's important to be yourself, since they want to see who you are, of course, unless you are an unpresentable slob. In that case, don't be yourself, lol.

Woot! Q's: 1. What's the one thing you wish you had known going into 1L; What's the one thing you wish you had known going into 2L? 2. What's your favourite books? 3. Are you pursuing public interest at Harvard, and if so, has the process/outcom…

I think one thing that helps is to develop your own notation process. As the questions get harder, the stimulus gets longer and more complex, so it becomes more important to link sentences that refer to the common subjects together and to divide sen…
