  • I wouldn't call. There is no way for them to find out on site that the photograph was taken earlier. Calling and getting told you can't take it would be the only way this could possibly stop you from taking the test. They just want it to be recogni…
  • If Big Law is the goal, I think you should aim higher in the rankings than WUSTL. That said, be very nice to them since they could be among your best offers next cycle too. Let them down easy maybe by making up some reasonable excuse for why you don…

  • @mes08 I think it is safe to say that if you have had a LSAT break for about 3 weeks or a month you should be back to your full energy reserves. At that point if you want to extend the break longer that is fine and everything will be okay, but it …
  • @Bomhillz Pump the breaks. If I were you I would study as normal until the weekend before the test. I would take 1 PT that weekend. If it felt like it went reasonably well I would blind review it and then do very light studying of any problems it …
  • @"surfy surf" For the LR one thing I thought helped me was keeping pictures of all the LR questions I had ever missed and flicking through them and remembering the right explanations for why each wrong answer is wrong and each right one is right. …
  • The good thing for all of you is that the fact that schools take the highest LSAT score basically means their is no reason to get to stressed by the test. If you are scoring in range of your goals you take it. If it goes well congratulations. If not…
  • Congratulations! Good luck with law school and both the real bar and the patent bar!

  • I would slow down the PTs a lot. You could be burning yourself out a little. You may find having fewer days taking actual PTs will enable you to have that clear headed sensation for more of them. If you still want to take quite a few PTs I strongly…
  • @"surfy surf" said: 3rd take got a 168 ughhh How did it break down? Additionally, don't stress too much about your score on any one test. There is always that 3 point margin of error which basically means the test takers thought you could s…
  • I thought that the difficulty for me was pretty unrelated to what others or the 7sage ratings thought. For example, on my real LSAT in September I found the first passage hard and time consuming and didn't even remember the judicial candor section …
  • It sounds like it might also benefit you to foolproof games by section that way you get more practice completing sections under the time limit. Do the section noting whether you complete it on time. If you don't conplete it perfectly under time then…
  • I think we need more of the actual wording to give you a good interpretation. I think a more natural wording would be public opinion favors blank. In that case I think you can safely assume that more people support blank than oppose blank. As point…
  • @levonm7 said: @"Seeking Perfection" @Ohnoeshalpme @btate87 @keets993 @Micolash @LSATcantwin So guys final question, I can study FULL TIME until September and as I said I have all the preptest (PT 7 to the latest) do you guys think I should go…
  • @levonm7 said: @keets993 @LSATcantwin my diagnostic is 150 I think my weakest section is LG and I am aiming towards 165. SO this is my situation. I have all the preptests so after i finish studying I can do them. But I'll be honest here im re…
  • I wouldn't take it before you are at least in range of your goal score. My goal was a 173 or 174 because with a decent GPA (3.8 ish) that was still solidly under Yale and Harvard's median I wanted an LSAT at least at and preferably above their medi…
  • @"trevor.sikes" said: So I'm new to LG -- I've already done the first section regarding sequencing games, and I've foolproofed all 10 problem sets from that first section. I feel like I've got that down; then I moved onto to sequencing games w…

  • It costs money so there is no reason to take it before you are somewhat close to your goal. Additionally a ton of takes to get a good score might look less good in the sense they might pick you later out of the people with your same final stats, bu…
  • @ya_he_ja_z1 said: @"Seeking Perfection" said: I'm done with the LSAT now, but I'm working on typing speed for law school exams. I just got so I can touch type as fast as I could type while looking before.So I won't face any more p…
  • Let's say you could get to 160 or 165 by September. That's quite a challenge, but I'm not prepared to say its impossible. So let's say for the sake of argument that 4 months from now you are scoring a 164 and have improved 24 points in 4 months. Th…
  • I'm done with the LSAT now, but I'm working on typing speed for law school exams. I just got so I can touch type as fast as I could type while looking before.So I won't face any more pressure to quit, take off my blank keyboard cover, and start look…
  • I didn't prepare at all the first time and regretted it a little. I didn't finish my essay since I wasn't used to writing one timed. On my retake I practiced it twice which was plenty.
  • @akeegs92 said: @Maximus4 Hmmm... I agree that is odd with USC. What I mean by mobile is that you can move around the country a bit more and people will recognize the name better. I slightly mis-phrased; I should have said the most mobile of t…

  • It will be just like the February undisclosed tests which I can tell you from personal experience are not radically different than the disclosed tests. The only small annoyance will be that you will never know exactly which questions you missed or …
  • Vanderbilt is the better school for Big Law. But it isn't $60,000 better. At either school there is a pretty high chance you miss Big Law despite your best efforts. In case that happens, you want to minimize your debt.
  • I get really used to things like my phone in my pocket to the point where I feel little waves of anxiety if it isn't there so I figured it would be best not to become acclimated to something that wouldn't be there on the real test day. I recommend …
