@Lets-Get-This-Done First of all,I think you should take. Best case you get the score you apply with. Worst case you get more practice dealing with the stress of the real test. If you purely need to boost your confidence before the test take a PT…

Here is the way of looking at the LSAT which I have always found most motivating. The decision to go to law school is the decision to take part in a two stage high stakes competition. The first is admissions. GPA and LSAT score are the most import…

@oberdysz I assume everyone who doesn't finish a section does this with their blind guesses at the end. There definitely is no penalty. That said, for most people I doubt it is a good solution. For one thing I doubt it saves much time over just b…

@"Paul Caint" At my location in September they made someone put their watch on. Actually, they more just intimidated the guy into putting it on by asking why he didn't have it on. They never explicitly commanded him to put on the watch. Then agai…

I did if I needed to but not everytime. I needed/wanted to fairly frequently (maybe half the time).

The first time I tested I got 1 point less than my average taking two PTs a day until Friday the week before. I scored 1 point below my average. The second time I took one Saturday and one Tuesday and scored 3 above. If I had to do it again I wouldn…

I hardly ever had that happen, but what did happen to me is that when I prephrased the answer too much in my head, I would overlook the correct answer. I nearly always figured it out since I would also reject the wrong answers, but it would waste ti…

I think the important thing is to get the full section times under 35 minutes on average or maybe under 32 or 33 minutes if you can. For me, it was the opposite. The hard games were nearly impossible for me to meet the recommended time, but by the …

That's tough. Confidence is important as is rest and not burning out. I would take individual sessions until you get a good score in each section. Then just rest/review those good sections riding the artificial momentum into the test.

@kayyyy95 I just want to make sure my emphasis was clear. If you make 168 your line I think you have to absolutely commit to retaking if you get a 167. I'm not saying this for everyone, just for those taking before they feel like they have done e…

It happened to me too. If you focus intently enough on something for long enough it starts playing a role inyour dreams.I have also had this happen with foreign languages. I know dreams are an important part of our learning and memorizing process, …

I would say that there are very limited drawbacks as long as you are certain you will follow thrpugh with seriously studying for and taking a retake. Schools don't really average, but as @"Alex Divine" pointed out they still see and may consider th…

I included my LSAC number. Your name is already on there, presumably in a fashion which reveals it to be a resume. So I wouldn't include name and resume unless specifically asked.
-
They will follow US News in the end. If it means a fall in the rankings not to treat the GRE as the equal of the LSAT, then law schools will fall in line and treat them the same. If taking the GRE hurts schools in the rankings, then they will priori…

@bethbeth It's too bad that you are finding this out with short notice, but including the experimental section seems to be the right call on LSACs part. Accommodations are about creating a fair playing field. Everyone has an experimental section a…
-
Have you tried doing full sections? I would tend to go over the estimated time on the harder games, but make up for it by being even faster on the easier games. I think JY's time guidelines might be a little skewed toward 8minutes and 45 seconds. T…
-
@DawnHenry That's always been the problem of skipping. It can help a little if you skip the right section or question at the right time (which with practice you can probably get better at). And it will hurt you when you skip the wrong section or …

@annadale There is an abbreviated foolproofing strategy recommended to me that @pacifico used where you print 4 copies of each game, do the game twice the first day (do it once, watch the video, and then do it again), once the next day to make sur…

Of course, as long as it's not on the scantron.

Remembering the old PTs does cause a little bit of a problem. It's one, I never faced, but thought I might if September didn't pan out. What I concluded was that it was okay for me to burn through my PTs anyway since fresh PTs only seemed more valu…

I'm not sure if this is specifically pertinent to LSAT reading comp since I never really struggled with the section. But, in my experience I have always had better retention of passages and readings (whether in undergrad, highschool, or on standard…
-
@Nathaniel I think timed is best right now as long as your planning on taking in December. What I mean by focus on the timing is try just keeping an eye on the time as you take each section (maybe checking your watch whenever you flip a page). Tak…

I shaved mostly to avoid the itchiness of my beard for the test, but also to match better. Plus, no shave November will be over anyway. On a serious note, do whatever makes you comfortable. There is no right answer(other than the comfort of a clean…

@victorwu The way I see it grinding is a description of what you are doing to the test. It's a long grinding battle, there is no knock out blow, but at the end of it, the test loses. Sure you suffer with the boredom of studying for the test, but …

I'm sure it's likely there will ever be too many. I PTd using 79 unique tests and wouldn't change a thing. I'd say that if we get to 200 it will definitely be too many. I think the yest format will be changed before then. Fewer than 50 and it seems…
-
@Nathaniel I can't say I have much other advice other than to make your chance count. You shouldn't have a problem running out of tests in the two weeks so I would start with the newest and begin doing foolproofing backwards through the tests you…
-
@jkatz1488 @"jack.igoe" An addendum might be perfect. First of all, it would automatically let them know you are aware they normally see your age as a negative and then you could immediately and concisely get to the spin (that you have known what…
-
At this point compared to the quantity of prep you have already done anything in the next two weeks is going to be negligible. So the goal is not really to improve. It is to walk into the test comfortable and score at the top of your current ability…

I did 79 of the 81 that existed before September. I discovered 7sage after having taken the first 35pts + 10 more recent ones and the February test. After 7 sage I foolproofed and did the rest of the PTs except for two. I'm not sure I would consider…
