Once the letters of rec are in and you submit, there isn't any considerable lag though. I've only submitted to one school (WUSTL because they invited me to an interview before my applications were submitted) and I submitted the day before the interv…

@"Paul Caint" said: @"Seeking Perfection" Transitional phrases generally use referential phrasing back to the latest statement. You know, so you don't sound like a robot with disjointed sentences. Additionally, recall the note I received …

@"Paul Caint" said: @"Seeking Perfection" It's a transitional phrase. Which probably isn't a good reason for it to be awkward or stilted. Again, I'm not seeing it in context. It's possible that it flows beautifully. It just seems unlikely t…

I doubt the word is too complex. I think what is more likely is that the two commenters are just trying to critique the wording in a polite way (it's easier to criticize it for having a big word and make you feel smart than criticize it for being wo…

I'm not sure. I would recommend checking Top Law Schools Harvard Law applicant forum from either this year or last. They likely have a list of frequently asked questions. I do know that the interview is a very good sign for your chances.

@"jack.igoe" I wouldn't do it. The average age is 7 years older because law schools systematically prefer applicants with more experience in the real world, not because there is an under abundance of young applicants. The schools actively select ol…

@Nathaniel said: And what do I need to foolproof? I have PTs 52-71 I think You can foolproof any games. You need at least 4 maybe up to 10 clean copies of each game. There is a video on it. Most people foolproof 1-35 to save later tests for …

@eesLSAT2017 said: I'm taking the December exam. My last PT was a 172 with -2 on every section (PT 78). This is pretty representative of what I do on individual practice sections and on PTs lately, with the exception of games, which is gener…

@"Leah M B" said: Yeah I think part of the problem here is that all the gains you really make are in review, not the PT itself. Not just doing BR, but even after BR and you see what you got wrong and where you incorrectly changed your answers …

@"laura.w918" said: Hi, what do people normally do the day of the test? Does anyone do a few questions or should I avoid looking at practice material? Thanks The main thing I thought was important was to make sure I was thoroughly awake by …

Maybe wait a cycle? Don't admissions cycles start a little earlier in Canada? If so February might be too late. I'm pretty sure that as far as 7sage is concerned I tended toward the less high side of the studying because I started out with a good s…

That is an astonishingly high blind review score. Over my last 20 tests my average blind review score was a 178 and my PT average ended up at a 177. I scored a 172 on my first take and a 180 on my retake. If you are blind reviewing at a 179-180 you…

Technically no, but practically maybe? There isn't any reason to. Just bubble in any you left blank all the same letter in the last minute or two of the section. Even if you got away with bubbling them in later, you would just be carrying your ne…

@tylerdschreur10 Actually I just reread my fee waiver from Northwestern. It expires December 15th. They are using them as an incentive to get people to apply early and you can fill out the info anytime until December 1st. If you aren't going to ap…

@tylerdschreur10 said: @"Seeking Perfection" That's my goal! I just need uChicago, northwestern, and I think one more! Hoping my 175 in December will bring them running! Northwestern is giving them out automatically. They won't run to you, b…

I'd say it actually only made me faster not more accurate. I was never missing questions that I thought I had right on the games section. It just took me a really long time to solve some of them to the point where it was infeasible during the test a…

I got emails about all of them, but I had heard that it happens. On the TLS (top law schools) forum, they have a guide for checking for hidden fee waivers. If you want to join me in collecting all the merit based fee waivers, I have managed to get …

@StephenASmith It works out to 2hrs 20 mins, 15 minute break 2hrs 20 mins. 5 hrs of PTing on a Saturday won't kill you. Of course getting through the blind reviews the same day so you can find out your scores makes for a long day of LSAT prep. B…

I bet they would understand without it, but a very brief adendum probably wouldn't hurt. As I understand it that's sort of the rule of thumb with these kinds of addendums. Keep it brief and it can't really hurt. It might rven help a little.

@FerdaFresh I just do them like any other passages reading the passages first and then doing the questions. I try to keep in mind how they relate/ compare/ contrast when I read the second passage. I didn't miss any on on the RC section of the Sept…

I didn't have a ritual food the night before. Both times I tested, the morning of I had a chicken wrap and during the break I ate chunked cheese. The cheese is small enough not to divert much energy to digestion and it doesn't have the huge spike a…

@Euthyphro said: Are you close to -0 on sections now? Not as close as some get. But as close as I'm ever going to get since I have no incentive to retake. On my last twenty PTs I averaged just over a -1 with a median of -1 and mode of -0. Th…

It sounds reasonable. Maybe something with the questions though? Unless you just want to focus on the passage memorization. I doubt it will ever be as foolproofed as some people get to with logic games. There are just so many more varied structures…

42 days. I did as Alex recommends, one full new game section a day. I also redid that game section the same day after watching the explanation video, did it again the next day, and did it one last time 1 week after the first take. It's 42 days beca…

@CurlyQQQ said: Jeez, this makes me feel so insecure! a 172 and a 3.4 is a splitter? My odds are worse. I thought a 172 was amazing. I think a splitter is just anyone below the 25th in GPA and above the 75th in LSAT score at some school. So …

@"Heart Shaped Box" The topic of my post was whether Top 14 or bust is a good idea. I with some reservations believe it is, but would narrow it to Top 14 or bust if at full tuition. You posted about success saying mainly that the school you go to …

@akistotle and @"Cant Get Right" are exactly right. I used the Powerscore Bible and prep tests to study for logic games on my first take and the 7Sage curriculum and foolproofing logic games to study for my second. They are different, but the core…

@"Heart Shaped Box" said: @"Seeking Perfection" Here is the conclusion of my original comment: "Generally, I do believe T14 would make a difference, but it certainly isn't the end of the world if it's not. I believe we should all jus…

@"Heart Shaped Box" said: @"Seeking Perfection" well, I believe at this point this discussion has many layers and you and I seem to have a different focus, which is fine. @"Seeking Perfection" said: No one is arguing that th…

@Broccoli180 said: @"Seeking Perfection" You are perfection. Nope, I still missed 1 on games. But, I got close enough.
