@fifthending said: @"Seeking Perfection" Thanks for the advice, it's amazing that you got a 180. I might just do what you said and apply asap and see where I'm at with studying come December. The thing is, I've already taken the lsat 3 times..…

I think that the LSAC software might convert to a pdf or some other format when you upload so I'm not certain the hyperlink would work.

What are you missing the most? If there are points on the table in logic games I would make sure to finish foolproofing before taking the real test since there is such a clear way (foolproofing) to fix it. On the other sections if you have any spe…

@"nicole.burdakin" said: The problem with anecdotal answers like “Kamala Harris went to Hastings” is that sure, we all can name one person who went to Hastings. Maybe some people can name 2 or 3. But Hasting’s IL class size is 348. What happen…

@tylerdschreur10 Why wait till the week of the test to catch the disease? There are plenty of diseases out there to be sick with from now until the test. Oh and you will study, not because you need to, but because it is the only thing that will di…

@Sammie215 said: @"Seeking Perfection" Oooooooh interesting, I'd never considered the "super test" but sounds like that could be really helpful. Thanks to you both! Yep, the only drawbacks of it I've been convinced by are that it burns …

@jkatz1488 I'm not saying skipping has no use. I'm saying their usefulness decreases as you get better at any section. At -10 or more the return to a good skipping strategy is probably huge (me on games at first). At -5 it may still help you eek o…

So you have two problems potential mental fatigue and lower confidence. I have pushed this a lot, but it woked for me and I think it really is the solution to both problems. Take PTs back to back. Take a four section test, with no breaks, then a 15…

I don't want to dismiss any of the above strategies. It's always better to be healthy if you can and you should replicate test conditions to the best of your ability to avoid stress. However, sometimes neither is attainable. I caught a strange vari…

@jkatz1488 said: Not a 170-er... yet. But I'd like to add a very important piece of advice I was recently given. My LR scores are anywhere form -2 to -6 and so I need to get consistent. My tutor told something like this "Are you trying to go -…

@Broccoli180 said: @"Seeking Perfection" Did you also improve your scores by doing that? I improved my score from a 172 to a 180 (and my PT average from a 173 to a 177), but the improvement may have been more the result of the combination o…

Do longer prep tests to build endurance. I mostly Pt'd by taking one 4 section test with no breaks, a 15 minute break, and then another 4 section test. Endurance wasn't a problem on the real thing. Instead it felt sort of short and light.
-
I'm not sure there is a lot to do at that point. Do you blind review your tests? If so do you pick up these mistakes in blind review? If you do then I would definitely go into a blind review like mode during any remaining time especially for any pa…

@amedley88 said: I'm not shocked at all, but I'm maintaining a degree of skepticism! That's all... I guess I'm just not maintaining any skeptisism. I just don't see the motive for a journalist to lie and claim a 75th percentile score. I'd li…

@amedley88 After studying for this test I am increasingly aware of the fact that it tests an attainable set of skills not simply intelligence or ability. The fact that a journalist has obtained some of those skills through the course of his work …

@westcoastbestcoast I agree with everything that you said with the exception of your name.

The sky is always the limit. On the other hand I think that when analyzing a diagnostic, it really depends what sections the person is missing in. Mine without studying was a 168. But, the really promising part which made it worth retaking the 172…

@westcoastbestcoast said: The bimodal distribution concern is valid. But, I do recall numerous articles rating the life long pay off of a JD at about 1 million; presumably these schools are tier 1. There are also non financial reasons for choo…

It depends why you want it. The main reason that I think LSAT gives takers the copy of the test is so that they could challenge any incorrectly scored questions. You don't have much of an incentive to do that since you cancelled and therefore such …

It varies by section and depending on how much time you have like you implied. I'll take whatever way I can get the answer first in logic games whether that is elliminating the wrong choices or choosing the right ones. In LR I proved all the right…

@LSAter170 said: How are you all fool proofing? Are you doing individual games at a time or are you doing it by section? I always did it by section. I felt it gave me a better sense of timing.

The question here is whether it is worth the money. If the cost is nearly $50,000 a year in tuition, then the sad truth of the matter is that these schools may not be a good financial investment. The law school job market is very bimodal. You eithe…
