I agree with what everyone has said above. I am also a fast reader so it felt really weird to spend more time upfront, but it really did help. The way I like to think about it is that the extra minute you spend up front saves you time on each questi…

@Mellow_Z If you are still online, can you please restart the call. We lost @sweetsecret (our only organizer). Also, @"Dillon A. Wright" if you see this, can you please restart the call. Thanks!

@danielznelson Haha, that is because I am too busy being a Mentor and answering questions. I see threads about people dreaming about the LSAT, I dream about Rainbow Road. The finish line is in sight......All of a sudden a blue circle spins overhead.…

There is only one perfect pencil for the LSAT and it is literally called "Perfect Pencil." https://www.fahrneyspens.com/Item--i-118563S It is only takes $260 to get your hands on some of these pencils (i.e. just one). While this might seem steep, i…

@asdf1234guy This is a really great question. I started out by doing games by type. I think this really helps you identify games and the best game board for them. You start to recognize similarities between games of the same type (common inferences…

@JustDoIt You started PT 27 or turned 27? Congrats either way!

Hi @Euthyphro, I just did a little interesting research on the topic in order to help you. I found this helpful technical paper put out by the LSAC (For some reason the hyperlink does not work, please copy and paste the full URL into your web brows…

I would agree that the test has changed a little in recent tests in terms of how questions and answers are phrased. However, I would argue that it has actually gotten a little more logically clear in recent LR sections. These questions really demand…

As the above posters have stated, your UG is largely irrelevant (just a soft factor/feather on the scale). What matters is your GPA and your LSAT score. This issue actually reveals why the LSAT is actually a really good thing for most people. In th…

@Mellow_Z Thank you for sharing. That is kind of lame. I was hoping they were going provide explanations for each of the categories and provide an in-depth analysis of what they are testing for. It looks like they have very broad categories. They br…

@theLSATdreamer I agree with everyone here about taking a break. Even if it does not feel like it, taking the LSAT is mentally exhausting. I took a break after my first LSAT and came back much stronger for it, both mentally and in terms of score ran…

I want to echo what @Mellow_Z said about volunteering to speak during calls. It is intimidating for everyone, but it is the best way to learn. Listening to other people do problems is nice, but you really have to learn to break down arguments by ac…

@Katherine Welcome to the hardest part of the LSAT. Most people think it is the three hour fill-in the bubbles part. That is nothing, the three week wait and the struggle to maintain your sanity is the real challenge. I recommend a lot of video game…

@"Dillon A. Wright" @JustDoIt @"Cant Get Right" @jkatz1488 @"Heart Shaped Box" @Mellow_Z @Freddy_D @"nessa.k13.0" @"Alex Divine" Thank you all so much! I am so grateful for this community and am thrilled to continue to be a part of it. Also, congra…

@RafaelBernard I called the college's testing center. However, I got lucky and the women in charge of the testing center was also the proctor for the LSAT. She was happy to answer my questions and tell me about the testing center. I would recommend…

What are you worried about the September LSAT for? You should be getting ready for the Night's King and his horde!
-
@uhinberg That is a really good point I had not thought of. I wonder what the best way to deal with that is. Maybe a call to the college to ask where the test is taking place might help? When I called the college where I took the LSAT, I asked if I …

Yeah, that sounds like a great topic for a diversity statement. I have read some great DS's on poverty. You really want to highlight your unique experiences, what insights you have gained from those experiences, and how that will make you a great co…
-
Unfortunately, this is an issue that is way more common than it should be. I believe the LSAC has recommendations that it gives testing centers, but testing centers are not required to have desks that are large enough to place all materials, which i…
-
Hi @taylorwoodsloeb, I am glad you brought this issue up. I have given it a lot of thought. There certainly seems to be an advantage in getting the experimental as section 3 or section 5 because those are the sections where you would be the most ti…

Hi @combsni, I would call UChicago and ask. Usually commitment agreements mean that you agree to withdraw all your other applications. If you do not follow this, you can lose your seat and get in trouble with other law schools. However, you mentio…

Hi @trendnet12345, Very good question. I have heard mixed things from some people in admissions counseling. The reality is that there is no consensus regarding how admissions will look at 4+ takes. This situation has been very limited in the past b…

@"nicole.burdakin" Go with your initial gut instinct. I am sure you did great! All of us experience a roller coaster of emotions after taking an LSAT. You can go between thinking you aced a section to believing you went -10. In my experience from pa…

I am also really sorry that your proctor messed up that bad. Yeah, a little time at the end does not make up for calling time 5 minutes. Heck, most of that time at the end would likely be spent reviewing just to get back to where you left off. Plea…
-
@Freddy_D Yeah, Spivey has some great insight into the admissions process, which has helped me a lot. It is just important to gauge the strengths and weaknesses of different services.

@"Cant Get Right" Thank you for sharing your story. I was really impressed by @"david.busis" during his webinars. When people give him their PS topic, he does not just tell them how to write a good essay on that topic. He goes much deeper and asks …
-
@Mellow_Z Lol. People are eager to compere sections and figure out if the game involving quantum physics and sorting sub-atomic particles by mass, composition, and year of discovery is experimental. If this kind of game was ever on an LSAT, it would…

@"Dillon A. Wright" Oh no you didn't! We do not mention dinosaurs around here! http://38.media.tumblr.com/d51a8aa16dd9e4d40b718b1af803b9be/tumblr_n9kohlL3AR1tofduqo1_500.gif

@Mellow_Z and @"Dillon A. Wright" Not all virus games are bad. There is Pandemic, Outbreak, A Virus Named Tom, Contagion, Plague Inc., and many others that are fine virus games. They are also cheap on Steam.
-
@Mellow_Z Yeah, there is no way to know which section was experimental without sharing info with other test takers. Sometimes, you can tell an LG section is experimental because it is WAY too easy or it had like 4 of the same game type. The test wri…
