I think others have got you covered on asking for letters. They won't think much about it. Most people just do generic letters anyway, so where they're going won't even matter. And as far as your dream schools, get the LSAT score you need to make y…

This is a really great question. So first of all, rewatch the BR section of the CC and make sure you're following those methods exactly. After every test, I use a clean copy and transfer over all my circles so that I know which questions to review.…

I think I might call this flexibility rather than ambiguity. I don't think our understanding of the relationship is in question; only our logical expression of it. I don't think the placement of "written" changes much. It certainly doesn't lend to a…

The typical understanding is that accuracy decreases as speed increases. If you do it right though, they can move together. Glad things clicked for you on this one, you've taken a huge step forward.

I'll take a 175 all day everyday. Nicely done! Now to stay fresh and build consistency!

Hey guys, I just updated the title and body of the post to hopefully make it more immediately clear to everyone exactly what this is and what they need to do beforehand. For all the regulars out there, it will be the same format as before, so just k…

Sounds like a classic case of burnout to me. An inability to maintain interest is the number one manifestation.

I subvocalize everything I read. I don't even comprehend how it would even work otherwise and don't understand why it is often framed as though it were somehow a remedial practice. It is unlikely coincidental that the overwhelming majority of human …

@TheMikey said: I feel like it's still risky business to use the PS watch though because some proctors are misinformed about certain rules, and may pull some BS saying that it's banned. Yeah, that's not at all an unreasonable fear. And hones…

Hey, glad you found my comments useful! As far as speed goes, it's not something you need to be too concentrated on right now. I elaborate in my webinar, but basically, speed is a function of understanding, and until we're there on the understanding…

PT 40 has one as well, I believe.

I think that's a good plan. Those types of drills are exactly what those older tests are best used for.

The Perfect Score Watch is cheaper/still allowed because it doesn't function any differently from a regular wrist watch. It has no start/stop/reset feature other than the dial on the side that every regular wrist watch has. The only difference is th…

31 here, haha. I think a great litmus test for how much to listen to family and friends is to base it proportionally on how much of your debt they're going to take on, and how similar their goals were to yours when they studied for the LSAT, went t…

One thing that's important to me is making sure I show up on test day mentally and physically sharp. If I'm sleepy or hungry or anything, I definitely see a drop in my performance. So make sure you're bright eyed and ready to rock once the test star…

Hmm. I'm not where I can check it, but maybe try it on windows and let us know if that makes a difference.

Also, remember that we can't weaken a valid argument. If the conclusion is properly drawn, it is impossible to weaken it without changing the premises. So even before we weaken it, the question type has already precluded validity!

Just be sure to guard your fresh material from the 70's very closely. Save those for when you've proven yourself on earlier tests and even earlier drills. You'll be fine. Take particular advantage of the drills for each lesson since it will be targe…

I could elaborate a lot on this, and do in the webinar that @"Alex Divine" posted above. That's the general overview, so I'll let that speak for itself and only comment on specifics to your situation here. First of all, great job on an amazing diag…

For LR, I typically do all of what would be my BR within the time limit, leaving me 0 circles once time is called. For RC I'm usually in the 3-4 range. Obviously that is derived from mastery of the material, but it also comes from highly aggressive …

It's Yale, so even if you had a 180/4.3, it wouldn't be a sure thing. That said, I think you've got as good a shot as anyone. You beat their LSAT median, which is a stat that is much more difficult to come by these days than 4.0 UGPAs. Plus, your so…

Not a dumb question at all. I was very hesitant for a long time on this because I thought it sounded kinda dumb. I think Michael and Alex covered the specific benefits pretty well. More broadly though, it's something that pros at all different kinds…

Most schools grant these based on your LSAC fee waiver status. Have/Did you apply for a fee waiver through LSAC? If you get that, most schools will extend you a fee waiver. If not, you will have to apply to each individually. Not sure how that norma…

@nicholasthomas127 said: It is also the fact about exhaustive BR being the key to improvement instead of the quantity of tests you take. I would focus on the number of PTs you think you can finish while doing exhaustive BR and review weakness…

@"Alex Divine" said: I would spend my time completing the CC. Then fool proofing games while also drilling timed section and BR'ing those section. Use 1-40 to drill and fool proof and 41-81 for full tests and more sections as needed. I wo…

Right on, @"Color Me Grey" ! He lives in my town and I see him at the coffee shop a lot. Actually, he gave me my copies of "yanns" and "you are now less dumb." Next time I see him, I'll say hello for you!
