I didn't try to guess my exact score, but my gut told me that I wasn't going to hit my goal and it was right. I didn't, but I was within -3 of my average. Regardless, if this is your first take, you'll be fine. If you don't hit your goal, you can re…

Congratulations! That's great.

I would do everything timed. It's helpful to be aware of how long things take you as you go. Ideally, timing things won't hurt you at all because after you give each early RC PT section a go, you'll have all the time in the world to blind review the…

I will try to help. I see the stimulus as basically saying that people get online to look up medical information. They often can't tell the difference between actual scientific information and appealing nonsense, so when they rely on the Internet to…

Since I seem to be the odd one out, I'll explain why I read the stimulus first. First, most of the time after I read the stimulus, it's obvious what the question stem is going to be. Even when it's not, I never feel lost or blindsided by question st…

Well, I hope it turns out better than you think. I would recommend the Starter package. At 169-171, you have the fundamentals. More than curriculum, unless you have a real weakness in a certain area, it might be a good idea to focus on doing PTs.
-
Why do you think your practice scores are going to be so different from your score on the Dec LSAT? Also, what are your strongest/weakest sections?
-
No. I don't think either way is better generally though. I read the stimulus first because that works a lot better for me. It helps me focus. When I did 7sage's curriculum I began reading the question stem first and my LR scores got worse. When I we…

maybe 10 but hopefully fewer

I think it depends on how badly you think you did. Either way, it's not that big of a deal. Just study more and prepare to retake. If you think your bad score is just a point or two below your goal school's median, I wouldn't cancel. It's your firs…

The conclusion of the argument is that the chess program contributed to the students' academic achievement in other areas because through playing chess they exercised spatial reasoning, etc. C undermines it by implying that many of the students wh…

I'm still doing whole PTs (one Friday) and maybe one Saturday as well because they help me chill. It's something to do and my test is Sunday. PT76 just arrived this week for me so I thought I'd just do it.
-
@Nicole.Hopkins So far and only in LR, yes. But it's also only true for a few PTs, not 10. I created this discussion two weeks ago so not enough time has passed to really put me to the test. I don't expect to go -0 on the real thing. That would be…
-
I'm updating this because I think that what works for me could be helpful to a few others, but I also caution against others blindly following me as my method goes against standard 7sage advice. I got quite panicky as seen in this discussion becaus…
-
I'm in a similar position and I'm going to take in Dec. but my averages are slightly higher than yours and I must apply this cycle. Given that you're not applying this cycle and that you think that you need at least a 172, you should wait. That way…
-
Good luck! Unfortunately, while a 167 is possible, it's unlikely. In preparing, though, I think you must trust yourself and continue doing what's helped you best.
-
If it's just one PT where this happened, perhaps you were tired and didn't focus as you should have. I wouldn't worry much about it unless it's a pattern. I found that I stopped "misreading" when I stopped PTing in noisy cafes.
-
I am going to go for something really light (like eggs and toast) and water. Whenever I have to do something important, I avoid caffeine like the plague.
-
That's great! Congratulations.

@Sheri123 Overall, I think the idea of doing a clean copy BR is excellent and what people should stick with. I'll tell you what I did, though. As I went through each section during a PT, I naturally marked the questions I wasn't 100% sure about. W…

@Pacifico said: You don't do POE in LG. you might have to brute force questions based on a lack of inferences, but that is still not pure POE. I understand this. I should pick the answer based on the inferences I've drawn or brute force until I f…

^ Thanks for the advice. I am doing that while testing and I think that's going well for me. It's helpful. I just have issues with stupid mistakes where I am sometimes doing the opposite of the task assigned or eliminating answers too quickly due to…
-
You did help. I appreciate it. I learned what a clean copy BR was and I will do it more consistently with LG instead of randomly as I have been. With LR and RC, the reviewing of the questions I marked hasn't been a problem. I think it's going as i…
-
I feel like I'm not being clear. I always BR all of LG because LG is a real problem for me. Outside of that, most of my mistakes are careless confidence errors. I'm not doing that much changing of my answers or learning during LR/RC BR.
-
^ I have inadvertently done it with LG and it's made no difference because I remembered. I'm an emotional test taker and if something is funny or in this case obnoxious/ frustrating, I'm definitely going to remember.
-
Thanks for clarifying what a clean copy BR is. I get what you're saying about real understanding, which is why I thought I was doing BR wrong. I just worry that a clean copy BR isn't going to make any difference. If I circle something for BR it's …

I'm not looking for instant gratification but I am still a bit awkward with the test and have pacing issues where I feel compelled to go quickly even though I have time. I thought that doing more PTs would help me with my pacing because that seems t…

I planned to join this, but I oddly can't get Skype to work even though I've tried various things.
