I want to go ahead and see them. If there are any curveballs on the most recent PTs, I don't want to be finding out about it the week or so before the test!

I tend to think of my strategy as reading deliberately and effectively. Don't focus on speeding your way through to compensate for the more lengthy blocks of text.
Yeah, second this.
I've found that newer tests tend to use th…
I've found that recognizing when to split is particularly important for In/Out. If you split when you shouldn't it's going to be a huge mess. If you don't when you should, it's going to be a huge mess. If that's part of your issue, maybe take a l…
What is your target score? So much depends on what your goals and expectations are. I mean, if you're aiming for a 145 then you're probably good to go with just a few improvements to your study strategy. If you're looking for 170+ then that's a w…

How do I improve my weaknesses if I only have the answer choice for LR and RC.
So I only use the videos as a method of last resort. If I'm watching a video then I have reached a point of frustration and desperation that I feel like …

I actually didn't BR this test. I know I know, it's the key to a higher score, but I only had a small window of time to take the PT and since it was my first PT out of the curriculum I was a little anxious to see how I did. I absolutel…
So with those stats, your GPA and LSAT will kinda cancel each other out. You will up their GPA median but lower their LSAT median, so it's kind of a wash for them. If you hit their median then you'd enormously increase your odds of getting accepted.…
Seconding everything @"Alex Divine" said. The most immediate steps to take are first and foremost, stop taking PTs. You may as well be burning them. Once you've done that, scrap what you're doing and find a new approach. It sounds like you really ne…
@"Jennifer N" I think you can actually withdraw the day before, there just won't be even a partial refund. 8/30 is the last day to withdraw with a partial refund.
I mean, your target score is only a few points above your diagnostic. It's too late in the game to make major improvements before September, but you don't need major improvements. 30 days out, I really like to see people already averaging at or ab…
Yeah don't PT until you've finished the curriculum!
And yeah, hope isn't the best strategy, lol. I've been there and it doesn't work. Your PS won't do anything to offset a bad LSAT, but a strong GPA might depending on how far off the medians you ar…
Yeah, the videos are definitely not ideal. With the ban on PDFs though, it's the best anyone can do. Only thing I can think of is take screen shots and then edit those into a single doc. It would be tedious (and maybe illegal) but that'd be the only…
Good call! The opportunities a strong LSAT score can create for you are enormous. It is a determinant factor on the trajectory the rest of your life takes, so really, what's a year? Not much.
@"Jennifer N" , I know we've already discussed the issues central to the lecture on committing to a score not a date, and that your particular circumstances kind of make it moot. That being said, I'm still really uncomfortable with you taking in Se…
Yeah, aside from even the superior quality of the curriculum, there's just a fundamental difference in philosophy which I think is arguably even more important. There's a very widespread mentality out there that there's just only so much one can im…
