Thanks for the post. It happens to everyone, but some try to push through. You brought it to light that its not only okay to feel this way, but it will invariably happen at some point. Your post shows that its okay to take a break and necessary at t…

@Beckhama I sent you a PM as well.

@DumbHollywoodActor said: It’s an iPad app called Elevate Its a great tool! I noticed a difference over time while using it.
-
Well... Bye. Not everyone has dreams of settling. Glad you found yours.
-
I've had to face the harsh reality of postponing as well. If I write in October, I could maybe get to where I want to. But why risk a dream with a maybe. Its better to postpone and score better, than to write when you know you're not ready, score lo…

I would include ALL colleges attended. If you don't, I think it could shed the light of purposefully not disclosing something, whether that was your intention or not. I sent LSAC every transcript that I had.
-
In my experience (which is limited), outliers are normal and to be expected, up AND down. I think it would behoove you to pay attention to the average of your PT over the long run of 20 or more tests. Celebrate your victories and this counts as one,…

I try.

I'll refer again to a favorite quote of mine by Confucious, "he who says he can and he who says he can't are both usually right." Make up your mind and do it.
-
I've been doing something similar. Have you noticed any differences in gains in taking the PT in once sitting versus doing a section, reviewing it and then doing another section? Which has worked better for you?

I'm 32 and will turn 33 in December. I'm 12 years disconnected from my undergrad in Business. I built houses for a living until the poop storm of 2008 and immediately got into law enforcement. I had a successful career in it at a medium sized depart…

The first thing I think you need to address is whether YOU want to go to law school or if you're doing it to appease your parents. If you look long term, this test is just the first obstacle of many that you will face. You still have 1L exams, the b…

Great advice.
-
Due to the time factor, am I correct in assuming that one wouldn't BR as thoroughly on a retake and he/she would on a frest PT?
-
@juan_name I agree completely. The problem I'm facing is my proximity to Atlanta (Emory and GSU) versus that of UGA. My family and I are very much established in the area I live and moving all of us to Athens is complicated. I'm not down on GSU at a…

168+ Emory or UGA, Georgia State if less. @Pacifico said: FWIW a 171 will possibly get you into better schools than UGA (e.g.- NU, Emory, WUSTL) so don't sell yourself short unless you have other personal reasons to go to UGA... I follow you here…
-
@nicole.hopkins @Pacifico Would you call a mid to high 150's avg with a 172-175 BR average a problem with fundamentals or time constraints? (15 PT)

From my experience, the thing that helped my RC most is RC passages. Similar to the weight lifting mantra "if you want to lift more, you have to lift more", it stands to reason the best way to improve RC is by reading RC passages. While the magazine…
-
It's unwise to attempt to jump to any kind of conclusion based on 1 single test, much less just one section. Take four or more RC sections and compare. That should give you a more accurate view of where you are at.
-
Yep. I totally agree. I stay positive about my progress but it's important to be realistic. I have 10-12 points to go and I feel as though I have a much better shot by trusting the process until December instead of rushing for October. And, I'm only…

I find myself in this predicament as well. I have two schools in the area that I am really aiming at. One, a private school with a lot of reach in the southeast, has a median in the mid-160s with a 75th around 168. The other school, my safety school…

He did. One of my favorite non-Biblical quotes.
-
My first reaction is to say calm down. You're only three tests in. Don't start panicking about improvement until you have at least 10 tests down. Then you can run the analytics to see where your problem areas are. What you're going through is all pa…

I initially went through the full curriculum and then PTed 36-45. I changed course a little bit and am currently going through the Trainer. I took 52-54 from my PT pile to drill along with part of the Trainer's study schedule, but am saving the rema…
-
If its the same schedule I am using, 52-57 are used for drilling sets, 58-60 are used for timed sections, and 61-74 are strictly full tests. Is this any better?
-
I can sympathize with this. I'm about 14 tests in with a 175 average BR lately, but my timed tests are still lagging waaaaaay behind. Its not unheard of for my timed tests to be 20 points behind my BR. Extremely frustrating because I feel as though …

@c.janson35 said: After all, understanding why an answer is incorrect is as important to your studies as knowing why an answer is correct. Absolutely! Well put!

Have you read The Trainer? If you haven't, I would highly suggest in doing so. Prior to my reading it, I rarely used POE. But, after reading the Trainer and letting Kim's statement that almost all high scorers invariably use POE, I began to incorpor…

Thank you all for the comments. I find myself in a somewhat frustrating situation. My BR is right where I'm happy with (174-178 avg) but my timed PT is lagging way behind (mid 150's). I am still in the -5 range on LG so I know that will close the ga…
