@"Alex Divine" hmm I'll need to take another look at my last couple of sections to see why I circle them. From the top of my head there are probably 6 or 7 that I skip and then go back to during my second pass. I go over all those questions even if …
Thanks for the replies! My BR is usually -1/-2 from a confidence error. For 95% of the questions I circle and place a dash next to I can get through and reason why each answer is wrong/right. For BR I do a quick write up of How to approach that qu…
@Sami thanks for outlining your approach with such specificity! I am able to do 25/26 in 25, but always felt like what now with the ten minutes remaining. I'll be making sure to keep my pacing up during my second round and to prioritize my circle…
@"Alex Divine" varies on how much time you have. I'd say anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour/1.5 is typical. Last time I went I was there for almost 2 hours since I also added cupping ($10 or 15 can't remember), which was another 10 minutes.

@"cfield.3" Thanks for the link to the video! I'm definitely going to try these out.
Acupuncture does me wonders! There might be a community acupuncture spot nearby usually more affordable. Also, some health insurances cover the cost of acupuncture…
Thanks for post! Our mindset towards the LSAT is so important! I was googling around before BRIng today and found these TED videos on self-confidence: https://magoosh.com/blog/5-ted-talks-to-boost-your-confidence-before-test-day/
I might try the po…
If you only have 5 vacation days to spare I would consider splitting them up. Use three along with Labor Day weekend and then the other two for the Thursday/Friday before the exam.
@MichaelTheArchAngel in your syllabus it should be at the very end right after the section on "Grouping & Sequencing" games. The heading for the new RC seems to be "Reading Comprehension - Science."
@mcglz_64 I wouldn't pay any mind to that professor. I've encountered so many folks who say "don't go to law school." It usually has nothing to do with me and everything to do with there own thoughts on the legal field.
The question bank is amazing! I'd add that another way to gauge improvement is to analyze the time spent on each question. Does it take you 50 seconds to correctly answer an easy Main Point question? Can you bring this down to 20 seconds? Saving tim…
I was consistentlty getting the author most likely agrees questions wrong due to my approach. I was looking for an answer choice that seemed likely to be true instead of having the mindset of this more or less must be true. Once I switched my approa…
@Mellow_Z thanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately, the tests are only being offered in the States. I'll be Oaxaca Mexico and apparently in a really remote area. Well at least I'll be eating some yummy food. I actually shortened the trip to make …
@jimmyrivera201 If Manhattan Prep doesn't work out let me know what time you were thinking and we could meet up and I'll get us into the Fordham Law library. It's been pin drop silence there since folks are studying for the upcoming bar exam.
Also, Manhattan Prep on 25th street off of 7th Ave. does proctored exams on certain Saturdays and Sundays. You just need to RSVP on their website under free events.
I started looking around and found this article that came out pretty recently. It has some numbers/% I hadn't seen aggregated that's pretty interesting:

Hey! As a URM it has been so tricky to get a somewhat accurate sense of what my cycle could look like. A friend of mine, URM (Latina) graduated Yale with a 162 (or maybe a 163 can't quite remember). She had a 3.9+ GPA from an Ivy league and six ye…
We do one one tutoring. He's helped me immensely with my strategy for RC, helped me make a study schedule, and is so helpful with keeping the confidence and momentum going. He's one of the approved 7sage tutors listed. He truly cares about his stude…
I've been trying to remind myself that on the tough questions I probably won't love the correct answer choice and that's ok. I don't have to love it it just have to match the task and the argument.
