Yeah, I was really concerned with this issue and took it as a challenge. The ability to sleep the night before is a big victory in the mental game, and I took it personally. I synced my sleep schedule for a 9 pm bedtime for months, and in the last c…
Yeah, dealing with this is actually a big part of the test. Pretty universal, so we're all right there with you on this. The LSAT makes you feel dumb, it makes you feel incapable and inferior and unworthy. Managing and overcoming these feelings is r…
This is why it's so important to replicate test day conditions. I think at this point, February is probably going to be your best option.
So, you went in to the test having never taken a PT. What you did is called drilling, and unfortunately, it wa…
Don't worry about the essay. After taking the LSAT, most of us are doing well just to construct a sentence, much less an argument. They understand that this essay is written under enormous stress and is not representative of a whole lot. I doubt any…
Yeah, this is just how it goes. I have alternating waves of unwarranted optimism followed by 100% certainty of doom.
Relax and keep yourself occupied. Everyone goes through this, so it's just a part of it and everything is fine. I'm writing this to…
I've been thinking on this one. It has been conventional wisdom for forever: do not use unofficial prep material. Given the new LGs though, I've been giving it some thought. I've concluded that the convention still holds. Believe me, I understand t…
Yeah, that's totally possible. The courses who say it's impossible are the ones telling you that three months of studying is all you need to reach your potential. They have a huge incentive for people to believe this, because if it turns out otherwi…
So I definitely think there is some value in knowing what the questions are going to be as you read the passage. I guess my question is, why do you need to read the questions first to know what they're going to ask? You're going to get the same 5 qu…
@emilycyoung1 I don't think we can talk about it in depth enough to be able to explain how it works. I'm trying to think of a way to explain it that doesn't violate LSAC/7Sage TOS, but I'm not sure it's quite possible.
For anyone that's interested,…
Yeah, we're in kind of a transition. Lost a lot of good folks to law school, but there are a few people still around from the old group so hopefully someone has some openings. When September scores come out, hopefully a lot of new folks will have th…
I think shifting the time would be good. The time was set assuming a much quicker call than what we've been doing, so I think that could help. 8 worked best to accommodate the start time across time zones, but didn't really take into account how lon…
Yeah, I don't even remember what the word was, so can't be of any help on that even if I could. I think I got it in the end but will definitely be keeping an eye out for it when tests come back.
And yeah, it's probably a good sign that you don't r…
Agree with @Motivated . Take the time to respond to each test. That means thorough BR and returning to curriculum and drilling weaknesses. This is where the real gains are made, so by focusing on what you do between PTs instead of on the PTs themsel…
@Motivated , thanks for the link, that provides a lot of clarity.
My Logic-Spidey Senses did start going off at this though:
The test-taker interface was shown to over 100 potential test takers, with largely positive reaction.
Inadequate sample si…
Yeah, you can't sweat over a single answer choice. If you left the test center feeling good, that's excellent. Keep yourself busy until grey day and don't even think about it.
@beth.flanders said:
interesting, i didn't have any survey on my answer sheet.
Yeah, I didn't either. Proctor asked us if we had the ones asking about that, so she was aware that they were asking.
