I think it would also just depend on where you're at in life. If you're coming straight out of undergrad, for example, it would probably be good to include every job (although there is strategy in selecting when not to include a job). For me, I'm ol…

Yeah, so my excercise was to find my "natural speed." So instead of taking it under timed conditions and manipulating my pace to the time, I tried to reverse engineer it and think about how much time my pace took. So, I went at what…
If you've got the means to hire a pro, yeah, do it.
And plagiarism is a tricky thing. There's a lot of things that are technically plagiarism that most people wouldn't sweat in an undergrad paper. Like, if you make a mistake in your bibliography/w…
To be honest, yeah man, that's going to hurt. It's the academic equivalent of having a felony on your record. That being said, if you've got strong numbers, that is still the most important factor. I imagine it's going to come into play mostly as a …
I wouldn't burn any prep tests until you're comfortable with games. Use PTs 1-35 for drilling materials to keep fresh on your RC and LR skills, but save everything beyond that for timed, simulated tests.
I think your best starting place is delayin…
Can you push your test back to fall? Especially if it’s your third attempt, you’ve got to be ready, and you’re behind. Push back to fall, and just focus on the curriculum for now. You can use PTs 1-35 to drill, but don’t look beyond that until yo…
LSAT scores are a big factor in determining a school’s ranking, and the highest score is the only one that matters for that. So they do have strong motivation to overlook weaker scores when deciding when to make someone an offer or not.
I’m guessing you’re probably not reading actively. Here’s an exercise.
Go outside the available RC material and get some scholarship to read. The introductions in the ubiquitous Penguin Classics or Modern Library Classics make great material for …
Wow, nice job on those PTs! My target timeline is similar to yours. I’m aiming for the first 15 in 15, and then the remaining 10 in 15-20. I like having the 5 on the end mainly to give me more confidence in skipping something if I need to.
I act…
Yep @skaplan9190. Remember, you’re creating binaries- dividing the world into two all encompassing pieces. "No people" is the polar opposition to "All people,” not the negation. For a negation, you just slap a “not” in front of whatever it is. W…
Right on @brianoleaga. You will need the preptests regardless, at least if you’re going to follow the 7Sage prep in addition to Blueprint. Is taking the September test in addition to June an option for you? You can cover a lot of ground in three …
I’m not familiar with Blueprint, but for 7Sage I think the Starter will take you all the way through the curriculum; you just won’t get explanations for medium or hard questions. Something like that. How long have you been studying? Three months …
The better you get, the harder those extra points become. The questions you have to answer correctly to jump from a 150 to a 151, for example, are much easier questions than the one/s required to jump from a 170 to a 171. The difficulty increases …
When I get to the drills, I do a few of them and then move on. Then, at the beginning of each study session, I will go back and do one in order to be continually reinforcing old skills to stay fresh while I’m adding on more. It’s worked well for m…
The conventional answer here is, as much time as it takes for you to feel ready. And that truly is the correct answer. But I get what you're asking. If you're serious about studying and really doing the work and don't just gloss through the curricul…
Do both. Unless you have already applied and accepted an offer somewhere, why not? If you can't pay for school without working, then you've got to work. So your real decision is are you more committed to your one year timeline or to the opportunity …
