Yeah, I agree with @goingfor99th. I listed the GPA that my college gave me. That being said, I really think law schools only care about the LSAC GPA, which is what affects their rankings. I honestly do not even know how law schools would know what y…

Yeah, this is some great news. While I do not think that many people want to take the test more than 3 times, unlimited takes is a great option for students who have worked hard but had a couple bad/premature tests and want another shot without havi…

Hi @GabrielMarquez, Very good question. The answer is that it depends on the question. Every section has some easy questions that you should only spend about 40-45 seconds on and some brutal curve-breaker questions that can take over 2 minutes. The…

@Sami said: Congrats everyone!!! @"Daniel.Sieradzki" I can't believe you finally made it! lol Haha. I finally did it! Thank you for encouraging me all the way. http://www.gifmania.co.uk/Movies-Cinema-Animated-Gifs/Animated-Action-Fi…

Thank you so much! I would always look at this thread and dream about making the cut. Take note, dreams come true! Congrats everyone! Now time to celebrate... https://awesomegifs.com/wp-content/uploads/nintendos-world.gif

As @TheoryandPractice explained, the differences are very subtle. The core skills tested by the LSAT (logical reasoning, reading ability, argument analysis, and more) are the same across all modern LSATs (1-80). There are just a few new/different wa…

Yeah, as @AllezAllez21 said, mastering LG is all about just practicing as many games as possible. Foolproof LG from PT 1-35 and any other PTs you have done. A lot of people hope to find a key insight to mastering LG (there are more key insights in L…
-
It is absolutely possible! You are in the best possible position with fantastic LR and RC scores. LG is just a skill, anyone can master it with sufficient practice. As @akistotle mentioned, just foolproof all games from PT 1-35, try Pacifico's stra…
-
Yeah, insight into RC skipping strategies would be awesome. I have come to realize that it is one of the most important skills on RC. This is especially true now that the LSAT writers are commonly placing a 5-star difficulty question in the first pa…

@Sami said: @"Daniel.Sieradzki" said: @Sami. That makes perfect sense. Ultimately, it should be up to a majority vote. It would be fine to use some 50 PTs if that is what people want. I thought I should just point some stuff out ba…

Great story, @"theLSATdreamer "! I am sure the June test takers really appreciate it. Are you taking in June? If so, I wish you good luck and all the best!
-
I also think that most parallel flaw questions do not take long with practice. Often, you can eliminate several answers because they have a completely different conclusion or argument structure. This usually takes you down to two answers. From there…

@"Alex Divine" Yeah, I have the same problem because of my short nails. Also, my watch pin sometimes gets stuck, which is the last thing you want on test day!
-
One thing you may want to consider when purchasing a watch is the time reset feature. Most watches require that you pull out the little knob to rewind time back to the 35 minutes sign (noon). If your LSAT proctor quickly transitions between sections…
-
Haha. The first citation of you in the first paragraph is also connected to my second paragraph.
-
@TheoryandPractice Thank you very much for sharing this! I feel that so much focus is given to question types and logic, that a lot of other things are overlooked. Grammar and argument types are two big examples of this. These underappreciated topic…
-
Great advice on this thread. While I think having a clock is important, you do not want to worry about it. As @twssmith pointed out, recent LSATs are including more difficult questions early on (Question 8 is the bane of my existence on many modern …
-
While I highly doubt that admissions officers read writing samples with a critical eye, it might still be worth practicing a few writing samples. First off, whatever you do make sure you take the writing sample seriously. Writing "screw this" or dr…

@shk12345 I think a retake makes a lot of sense. Your GPA is fantastic. A few more points would open up some amazing opportunities. You can get a full ride at Columbia (like you mentioned), Chicago (if they still offer the Ruby), or NYU. That would …
-
@"Gary NYC" I would not worry about a different test. The LSAT writers go to great lengths to try to make each test approximately equal to each other in terms of the difficulty of obtaining a certain score on the test (this is done by adjusting the …
-
I think this is a great development. The open calls were great, but like @"Alex Divine" pointed out the times did not work for many people. I know there was always a struggle between accommodating West Coast vs. East Coast 7Sagers. Hopefully, this w…
-
@Sami. That makes perfect sense. Ultimately, it should be up to a majority vote. It would be fine to use some 50 PTs if that is what people want. I thought I should just point some stuff out based on my experience. I can't wait for this to start! 7S…

While I am not Muslim, I want to commend you on your commitment to your faith and the LSAT. I read your other thread on the challenge of balancing Ramadan, your other commitments, and your studies. That is very impressive and speaks to your characte…
-
Hi @TheoryandPractice, I really hate questions like this. Yeah, it is the most strongly supported answer because the passage says he preferred that type and used it. Technically, there could have been another type of poetry that he thought would be…
-
Hi @nyc2dc2ca, Those are some great questions. As for question 1, law schools really only care about your top score (Yale might be the only exception). Thus, canceling will hardly matter, if at all, to law schools. That being said, it might impact…
-
That does seem strange. Can you tell us more info? What model of Mac are you on, what OS are you running, and what browser are you using? There are a couple of things you could try. First, open up Activity Monitor (built-in application on Mac) whil…
-
I agree with @"Alex Divine". I think the 50's are challenging and make for great timed PTs. I think the 40s would be a nice mix of new material and material that we are not afraid to use up.
-
That is a great question. I look forward to seeing the responses you get. One thing I noticed with MSS questions, is that the correct answer is often a very weak answer. For example, if the stimulus talked about a new supplement for weightlifters a…
-
Yeah, you are not alone. That is a common trap! We have all been there. To answer your question, that is almost always a wrong answer. It helps to look at the nature of a sufficient assumption question. You are presented with an argument that is on…

Haha. I know who he is. I have talked with him and attended his webinars. I was just joking, but thanks for reminding me that he turned down Yale and Harvard.
