Are you pting? If so, you should get some work on all sections during BR. You should of course work on RC but, as Samantha mentioned, we need some more info on your RC score to get a better picture. Are you going -3 and you want to be at -1? That st…
I really think PTing helped me more than drilling. That being said, if you do not want to take a full pt or worry about running out of pts, I would suggest doing sections. Sections allow you to focus your energies on a certain subject, for instance …
As had been mentioned, GPA is the second most important aspect of your application. For some however, it is a part that is no longer within their control (unless they are in undergrad). There are schools that favor reverse splitters and put an empha…
I would really suggest starting with LG. That is generally a section where you can see real improvement. I would consider fool-proofing, at least for more challenging logic games. Start pting but don't ignore how helpful sections can be. Just make s…
For question 1, the only application I have seen personally ask for it is Chicago. I also know people who got in without adding hours to their resume so... shrug?
I think the most genuine, best advice here is to retake the LSAT. This is an entirely different conversation if you have a 162,165, or 170 in your pocket. This is a learnable test and a better LSAT score may help you achieve your goals of being a la…
Yeah I would at least alternate, do one PT a week then two PT the next week. I wouldn't do two PTs every week. Not only is it not great for you, you get less out of the test, but you will run out of PTs faster. They are definitely a valuable, finite…
Yeah, I guess the benefit to doing that would be to show them they have competition, to show them they need to give me money or what not. I think it may be different from person to person. I am applying to 8 schools so my approach may be different t…
Like everyone said, January. There are some schools where applying late matters less (I think Yale is one), but I would consider staying out a cycle. You may have better options with more scholarship money down the road.
Haha this made me laugh. It is true that there is a vacancy after the LSAT, but admissions quickly takes its place. As LSAT Wrecker said, I will likely feel some withdrawal issues when all my apps are in.
I have heard maybe two or three of their shows- which ones rag on 7Sage? I am a huge question-stem first person and think 7Sage is the best out there at knowing how to approach the test. From the episodes I listened to, they are also super anti- T14…
First of all, congratulations on re-embarking on the LSAT journey. I really believe you made the right decision and I am sure you law school options will improve. As some others have mentioned, you are in a really good position with LG. LG is the ea…

@tekken1225 I believe it was a -16 for a 170. PT 23, I think it was. The only more recent exam that I am aware of that comes close to that is -14 for PT 71 and -14 for PT 65.
Edit: for newer examples
I have to th…
Yeah- I would occasionally do the JY "pencil down and breath" strategy. I found it helped; even 10 seconds recharged me and let me get over the hump of a hard question.
At this point it is about confidence. Please limit PTs and if you have to take them- don't grade them. I would suggest doing easy sections to stay sharp instead.
My diagnostic was a inflated 161 (took logic in undergrad- the course was kind of geared toward LSAT). My first take was a 169 which was 4 points below my PT average. Retook the LSAT and got a 177. I read the Powerscore LG bible but besides that, it…

When you have taken the LSAT multiple times, you have to walk in the room and establish the relationship between you and the test.

I might even not work on weaknesses and instead focus on strengths.You are not going to be able to really improve markedly on the test with the time remaining. What working on your weaknesses may do is destroy your confidence which is crucial on tes…
