Nicely done, congrats!!
-
Definitely not. You've only demonstrated consistency and you don't want to give them anything extra to read for that.
-
Wow, congrats! You're at or above every median in the country. I'd say good luck with apps, but I don't think you'll need much!
-
Congrats man! Good luck in admissions and hope you crush it in school!

Studying for the LSAT is a really personal thing. Everyone will have their own pace and their own natural ability. An in class course has to teach to the center and is almost certainly not going to just happen to align with your personal needs. It w…

Congrats man! So happy to see things go your way!

They won't average your score (except maybe Yale, of course). They are incentivized to disregard everything but your high score since that's all that counts towards their ranking. They care much more about how you influence their ranking than is pro…

@Sami said: Also, on LSAC website I no longer see an Icon where grey day would appear. So do we no longer have grey day icons? It’s the end of an era.

Wow, nearly two weeks early. Good luck everyone!

@hlkoo1212 said: is this new for this cycle? I thought they had this type optional essays before It’s not new, it’s just always sucked, lol. I actually think it’s a good length. The restriction is what makes it a valuable writing sample.

This is similar to what I did for my second take, and my score actually went down a point. Obviously that was very disappointing. You acknowledge that this is not recommended, so I'll skip the explanation on that. Just wanted to report my own experi…

That’s a really tough timeline. Some people can make that jump relatively quickly, many people study for upwards of a year to break into that range. If you’re one of the people who can do it relatively quickly, you’re still cutting it really close. …

I’m working on the literary character one. Huckleberry Finn. Really tough. 250 words is either way too much or way too little to say anything.

I know a number of folks like myself who weren't quite happy last cycle that decided to delay in order to retake once the rules were changed to allow for unlimited takes. My 176 is definitely a score that would not be in the applicant pool this cycl…
-
A lot of time, the optional essays are actually "optional" essays and they really do expect serious applicants to write them.
-
Excellent!

The thing with strategy is it needs to work universally. Trying a strategy out the first time is always a bit rough, but the broader issue I see is just that your general strategy only works under certain conditions. Maybe doing the RC passages with…

I use "cognizant" all the time and have never thought a thing of it. Is it really that big a word? I say if it's the right word then use it.

For whatever it's worth, you are WAY ahead of where I was after a month. I'm not sure you have an accurate sense of the time lines of many of the top performers on 7Sage. I began studying in 2015 with a high 140's diagnostic. 163 took me about 6 mon…
-
Nicely done, you're way ahead of my first PT! The mid 170's are tough. Make sure you're BRing consistently in the high 170's/180 range as you solidify your foundations, and then shift your focus to strategy and fine tuning.

@TheDeterminedC said: Thank you @"Cant Get Right". That analogy clears things up. By the way, I sent you an email yesterday! I am looking for a tutor still. Are you available? Glad to help! And I'm actually going through my inbox right …

@keets993 said: sometimes I do have to go back and reread the stimulus for details, especially when I'm down to two answer choices. Thanks in advance! You and me both! So, we just can't hold the entire stimulus in our heads. The question the…

@"J.Y. Ping" said: I find it very challenging to do that so I don't presume that others can. Yeah, I'm definitely among the others who can't. I just don't have the mental capacity to track that level of complexity within the kind of time fra…

Conditional statements are always important, but indicators don't always indicate conditionality. You've got to use context and meaning to see if there is a relationship or not. I think you've actually provided yourself with an excellent example of …

Think of your time as a currency. You want to spend it wisely. Your footage and time break downs is kinda like reviewing your receipts from the last month and getting mad at yourself for spending $400 at restaurants. Look at where you got good retu…
-
Yeah, that's a good start. For good websites for self study, you found it. The 7Sage core curriculum is going to be the most comprehensive resource out there. You get the whole course with the starter pack, but the extended access time and extra mat…
-
Yep, not uncommon. Congrats!

I don't read that as any lack of effort. I doubt you need it, but probably fine if you keep it to about 3 lines or so. Maybe a good question for the admit webinar on Monday.
