It’s different for every school. I asked this question to an Assistant Dean of Admissions of UVA and she informed me that it does not hurt to get rejected and reapply.
My girlfriend talked to the University of San Diego and they told her that apply…

nice. thanks for sharing. i'm seeing score dips and having difficulty focusing. thinking about taking a break but those things could also be a result of new techniques i'm trying to implement.
It’s possible it’s both. Prior …

I think having a long break helped me a lot. I was burnt out.
how long of a break did you take?
I didn't touch LSAT from Sept 17th until like October 20 something. So like a full month. And now…

It sounds like you've made progress on how to go about cracking these open. Keep pursuing that in review to refine the process and you'll find that you'll do better under time.

Let me just add my anecdote to what @"Alex Divine" said. When I started studying for the LSAT in May of 2016 I thought I could just hit the major points and get a good score. I did it with the SAT and ive always been an okay test taker. I sat down f…
@"J.Y. Ping" said:
@LSATcantwin Yeah, you're getting there. Think about it some more and post back tomorrow. I think it'll click.
Thank you so much! It’s already starting to.
Basically answer choice E exhausts other possibilities while B do…
@"J.Y. Ping" said:
@LSATcantwin You're thinking about this correctly. First step is to distinguish between the two answers.
(B) says X is heavily influenced by Y
(E) says X has much more in common with Y than with... well anything else…
@"J.Y. Ping" said:
@LSATcantwin How would B weaken?
Thinking about it more, I’m not sure I even understand HOW E weakens the argument. I just know that all the rest of the AC suck.
@"J.Y. Ping" said:
@LSATcantwin How would B weaken?
The same way E does. Is there really a distinction between
“Heavily influenced”
And
“Has much more in common with”
If the later music is heavily influenced by early jazz then it has a l…
LR section 4 question #14 good lord help me with this question ☹️. I got it to 50/50 B and E. What in the world....HALP!
How do they both not weaken? How are they not almost saying like the same thing?!

@LSATcantwin Do tell!

Actually, if you want to discuss, please post in this thread:

Hey LSATcantwin,
I don't think it's as beneficial as other PTs since the questions are so fresh in your mind... that being said, congratulations on that 180 blind review! I just ran through the first section myself; didn…
This is a bit hard to answer, especially with only 4 weeks before your test. I would consider starting in the section where you left off and moving forward from there. Then if you feel the need to supplement a section (for instance NA/Flaw questions…

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 …
Your story, like so many others on here, is the reason I haven't given up on my dream of going to a T-14 school. I have even narrowed it down to the exact school I want to attend. Congratulations for such an amazing success!

TL;DR: The test day point differential is not a mysterious, unavoidable effect. If you can replicate it and repeat it, you can learn to cope with it through repetition.
I think that a big reason for the "game day" po…

Interesting - I just E-mailed @"Dillon A. Wright" today about a similar mistake. On PT32 Section 4 - questions 24 is missing completely. I wonder if this indicative of a bigger issue?

If I can ask, what is your new outlook on RC?
Nothing really crazy, my original approach was to read it and use memory to attack the questions.

It takes about 3-4 weeks to get results back. We took the test on Sept 16th and got our scores back on October 11th. In the mean time I just took time off, and it's probably one of the best things I have done. I did not realize how burnt out I was o…

Dude, I'm experiencing something very similar! I've scaled back to roughly 2 hours of studying 3 days a week, plus a 5 section PT on Saturday. And I've beaten my September score on every one. I cut back to work on appli…

I don't remember what test or question number was...but the stimulus talks about COMMERCIAL airlines and a trick answer choice just says AIRLINES or something. Which made the entire AC wrong because the stupid stim only talked about COMMERCIAL airli…
