@hawaiihi That's awesome! As someone not extremely familiar with Excel or Google Sheets, how do you extend the formatting? Say for the LG's how would you "drag" the formatting downwards for more PTs?
You highlight the…

Here's my two cents:
I like to watch my favourite tv show before I start a PT. This honestly helps me distract myself from the anxiety and it's safe to say, it has actually worked for me!
I also started to work out …
I took the normal September test as a retake and ended up with a 180 with a PT average going in that was similar to yours.
Did you end up with the same test as normal September takers?
If so the games shouldn't have been hard. They are my weakest …
Yes, time spent up front is almost always more efiicient than time spent later. If you are struggling through a question because you are not familiar with all the pieces or missed something in the setup it will take a lot longer than that reread.

Others have found meditation or breathing exercises relaxing.
Right before the test you are just filling in the other parts of the scantron so I had pract…

No. I have a similar Casio bezel watch, and you can hear it tick only if it's held up right next to your ear canal.

I’m under the impression that schools emailing you to apply are doing so just to get there apps up, and therefore, have a lower admittance rate (although it’s obviously a business that needs attendees, too). I haven’t real…

The thing is you will be competing against people with actual out of college work experience. No amount of extra curriculars can make up for that.
So like me you should probably count your blessings that LSAT and GPA are the main factors and that s…

Hi everyone!
I'm pretty much set on beginning my LSAT studying using 7sage - yay! I'm hoping to take the test in either September or November. However, work will be very busy for the next ~4 months, so I'll have less time …

I assume the Dean's List thing only takes up 1 line.
Mine just says something like

I think it would probably not be wise to study that much during the school year. If you do, keep a close eye on your classes to make sure you don't tarnish your GPA.
During the summer however, even if you have an internship there will be a lot more…
First of all, if you are PTing at 163 don't expect a drop on the actual test. It is reasonable to expect to score in roughly a bell shaped distribution around your average of 163. That means you are probably roughly equally likely to get a 161 and a…
In my opinion, score potential is probably not real. If you spent long enough prepping you could probably get high into the 170's. However, it also probably gets harder and harder to improve as your score increases since you have already improved on…

@"Seeking Perfection" did you check your score? People have said not to check your score the weekend before, right? Trying to get a strategy for the last two weeks as well, I feel pretty burned out.

I would do at least one or two PTs just to make sure timing is down pat. It is usually hard to really improve skills in such a narrow timeframe so I would focus on the PTing and just do some very light drilling on your non-PT days.
But I didn't fol…
I started feeling a slight bit burnt out 2 weeks or so before the September test and basically stopped studying both because of the burnout and since classes started and I out scored my PT average.
I just ended up taking a single PT the weekend bef…

I am curious towards your approach on ordering and structuring the course content.
Did you follow the syllabus and do it chronologically?
Or did you jump between the sections and PT’s?
Did you put heavy emphasis on …

It is normal. It can start to take a little less long over all once you get more confident on more questions and get more right.
However, the per question time should remain really long. There is a reason most people don't blind review intensively …
I guess it probably depends on how slow a reader you actually are. If you literally cannot make it through the passages and questions then your reading speed needs to be boosted. However, it is very difficult to increase reading speed without losing…
