Didn't apply during this cycle, but let me share one regret because it's Monday: not finding 7Sage earlier. I could have saved so much. Thanks a lot, past me.

Just a thought here.. but I could think of a reason why this could and would be used: rich applicants with sucky scores. A school could let in a rich and/or famously connected applicant without requiring a test score, right…
Not to my knowledge. I never tried to find out how, as it defeats a big reason for taking PTs. Maybe @akistotle or @studentservice might be able to prove me otherwise...?
This is the ABA taking the easy and irresponsible way out of the whole admission test controversy. IMO, it should really learn to take a stance or kindly hand over its accreditation authority to another institution that will actually do some work.

But wouldn't Law Schools still favor the LSAT due to the USNW ranking?
That's assuming the USNW ranking system will still consider LSAT scores.
@"gerth.brooks" That's difficult... I never tried to rank composers. The three that come to my mind at the moment are Berlioz, Saint-Saëns, and Tchaikovsky.
Is it just an issue of improving on timing?
Depends. If you scored 169 because you ran out of time, then it would be a timing issue. If you scored 169 because you made some errors, then it would be a different issue.
I do not like being generi…
Classical music and concert band music. Some of my favorite works include Symphonie fantastique, Tchaikovsky's Piano Concerto No. 1, and Perthshire Majesty.
I am wondering how long it typically takes students scoring 165 and higher to answer these questions?
That is statistical information that no one may be able to answer with confidence ("typically?"). Different people may react differently to th…
The real question is, why would you prepare for it?
Seriously though, I'm giving it a few shots weeks before the test. As long as I know I can write a coherent argument within 35 minutes, I'm good to go.
I'm thinking the increased number of LSAT administrations at least partially contributed to this fee hike. Each LSAT administration has got to cost a fortune. Creating and proofreading questions, securing test locations, printing and preparing test …
This has nothing to do with studying, but I heard those books are more than capable of causing back pain. If you have a serious back problem, that could be something to think about.

Has anyone here ever come back to LSAT studying after a long break? I'm talking, several months.
So my assessment is: I've definitely lost my edge on LG. And while I've been scoring ok on LR, my BR of those sections hasn…

Why are we to ignore the conclusion? Is it because of what the question stem is asking?
Right. The question stem should dictate your approach.
Right, demolition is the one that precludes the possibility of renovation.
The question stem asks you to pick a principle that would decide in favor of either (1) demolition or (2) rehabilitation (forget the conclusion in the stimulus - that is jus…

Will the longer amount of time between my college years and my law school applications help alleviate my less-than-impressive GPA (3.65)?
Probably not.
Even if it does, there are plenty of others who have +3.7 and took off +3 years.
We're only told that "these studies... seriously flawed in their methodology." We aren't explicitly told that therefore this experiment failed to prove the claim. Aren't we making an additional assumption that flawed methodology = failed to prove…

Don’t most schools make you agree to not work during your first year?
That's what I heard too (Penn, for example). But OP seems to be talking about PT programs, which might operate differently from FT programs.
