@sakox010 said: I think this mostly comes down to each person and what works best for them. I've been taking practice tests for a while now and generally don't eat or eat very little before taking a test and that seems to work best for me, whe…

I had a similar issue and fool-proofed games for about 2 months! It did wonders for my score (from low 160s to high 160s). Even though LG started out as my worst section, I look forward to games now because I feel confident I can get a perfect or ne…

@xadrianas6x said: I plan on donating mine to the library after all this is done. When I first started, that was the first resource I hit, and there was absolutely nothing available. Maybe someone else will benefit. That's what I did with a…

Congrats on an amazing LSAT score! Echoing others here, I would just apply RD early in the cycle. While you are a splitter, LSAT seems to be weighed more heavily versus GPA. If you craft a strong application overall, I think you have a great chance…

I definitely second what @cstrobel said -- protein (eggs, nuts) to keep you full with a mix of complex carbs (whole grains, veggies) that will digest slowly and simple carbs (fruit, esp. bananas) for quick energy. That said, I wouldn't recommend ea…

I'm leaning towards something that combines international/cross-border work with corporate law since I have experience abroad and did my undergrad in Economics. Since I'm also interested in aspects of criminal law, international white-collar crimes …

That's awesome, hope you get a positive response! Congratulations!

I agree with most of the comments made so far. Just want to add that, along with the power of name-recognition, there's something to be said about alumni networks that higher-ranked schools have established. A strong alumni connection can be a gat…

Bursting your bubble here but that is the strategy JY introduces for MSS -- finding the conclusion in the ACs. But it's pretty awesome of you to figure it out without going through the lesson yet! As @"Grey Warden" said though, it might be support…

@e_217Cas said: Does the 7sage course follow a specific order in where you start your lessons? Or is it just, you sign up, and have access to a bunch of videos and you select what order you want to start?I need order and guidance. Yes, ther…

Definitely graduate first, then take a gap year. I'm taking a gap-year right now (graduated June 2017), and am volunteering part-time. I interned full-time in the summer while working through the CC, and stopped working just as I took my first post…
-
I also recommend working through the CC as it's ordered. It might also help us if you give us an overview of how many point you're missing in each section. Getting a perfect score in LG is definitely attainable, if you haven't gotten there yet. LG …
-
First off, it's awesome that you're keeping at it, even 10 years later. And the LSAT is most definitely not a reflection of your intelligence, so don't let your score get you down. It's very learnable. I started out with a diagnostic of 147, and am …
-
I also believe either is okay in this situation. As for how to label in the future, it's most important to use labels that you understand, provided that they're an accurate translation of the sentence/concepts. It doesn't really matter wether you …

Congratulations!!!!!

Congratulations!!! Thank you for all the help you've given us in this community!

I had this happen to me after my first week of PT-ing, too. This is what helped me: I'm a runner, so here's a quick analogy: Let's say you want to run a 5k. You've never run a 5k before, but say your goal is to complete it in 25 minutes. Do you ru…

@goingfor99th said: 25+ point increase incoming! That's what I'm planning on!

I personally found the curriculum well-structured and I saw myself improving as I studied each section, so that was extremely motivating. But more than that, the community here is fantastic. I've made some amazing friends through blind review grou…

Congratulations!!

@lsatplaylist said: @"Habeas Porpoise", This is an awesome story! Great job on your accomplishments and getting to your goal range and staying dedicated to this process. Thank you! I'm still working on it -- I'm a splitter so the higher I ca…

I think it's more prudent to take the test only when you're ready and scoring where you want to be. Delaying a cycle is a tough decision, but I recommend applying next cycle and taking the June exam. The February exam is undisclosed, so if you don't…

I diagram ~2-3 questions per LR section. I agree that intuition is built-upon and if you can catch the gap in the logic without explicitly translating (whether on paper or in your head), then great! But when I clearly need to diagram a question, I c…

I started considering law school during my sophomore year of university but was still unsure. After having the opportunity to meet several lawyers to get a better understanding of the field during my junior year, and taking a couple law-related clas…

Hey! Sorry for not getting back to you sooner! First, I would see about spending enough time up-front on the passage, and then assess whether or not I'm struggling to retain information. Go through some old passage and see how you do, and tell your…
-
Welcome! I think it would help if you gave us a little more information. What was your diagnostic score and section breakdown? Have you studied for the LSAT before? Do you have a goal score, or are you looking for improvement on a specific section?…
-
No problem! I recommend you drill the PTs you've already done for practice, starting from the oldest one. Retake the RC section timed, then do the outline for BR. If you can record yourself that would be great, since you can see how you're using yo…
