Congrats! Great job.

Good luck with the law!

Yup. You can write whatever you want in the booklet. They don't look at it.

I really don't know much about these things, but some snippets of your question seem determinative: "But i remember doing this years ago and it was pointless." And the clincher: "And I don't know anyone else that's going " As for the $50: the co…

Here's some stuff that worked for me: 1. I first tried a lot of marking. I eventually settled with very minimal underlining/marking etc.. It may have helped force me to focus on absorbing the main points as I was reading instead of feeling a false …

I don't have the text of the question in front of me. But, judging from your post, that answer seems correct. Your analysis also seems right. In order to advocate sheep-counting to induce sleep, it is necessary to assume that doing so would not keep…

That's the spirit. Keep up the good work.

I think you'll be alright. Go ahead and use those tests. If you feel afterwards that some answers came more easily because of your memory, maybe discredit the score slightly. But as for learning, it's still a good process.

Hi, The recent tests have easier LG sections and harder RC sections. If you are using old tests, I'd recommend getting familiar with the new RC. As for the LG, you should be equipped to do the recent ones since the old tests are harder. I think t…

@The 180 Bro: Yes. TheLSAT writers may mean something else, but then again they are strange people
-
I'll mention what I've said previously on this forum. A lot of times when something engages a person fully, the person loses a wider perspective. While the LSAT is very important, its important to retain a wider perspective to reduce stress and anx…

Necessary assumptions are distinct from Sufficient assumptions. In sufficient assumption Qs, you are looking for an assumption which is sufficient to allow the conclusion to be drawn from the premise. There may be many potential sufficient assumptio…

I don't think it will lessen your chances.

Yes, 4 AM is thankfully not the time LSAC administers the test. I wouldn't hesitate too much in chalking up a poor performance due to the factors you mentioned. Remember not to be nervous on a preptest! The goal of prepping is to find the mistakes …

Hey EmergingAttorney180! Your approach seems good. I would only point out that the recent tests are a bit different. Specifically, RC is harder, and there are one or two new types of questions in LG. You should include a couple of these recent test…

Drill. But do each test many times. The second time you do the test, it will be quicker and clearer. As the clarity increases with each test, you will (hopefully) enjoy the clarity of the logical deductions and applications. This will, in turn, make…

No problem. I wouldn't focus too much on the unscored essay. When I received my score from LSAC, they sent a copy of the essay as well. I had a hard time making out my own writing and I don't have too bad of a handwriting. It was more the fact that …

If you're certain that is what works best for you, go with that. But in general, it's better to rest the day before (no preptests, review, no LSAT thoughts...) and to do a little bit of each section the morning of the test. Even if you feel you ne…

@David Michael-1-1 I didn't read this whole conversation but your LSAT ability is visible from a cursory reading. The referencing you do to other LSAT questions reflects a thorough familiarity with the LSAT. I'm sure you'll do awesome on the coming…

It should be ok, especially if you are content with 164 (an increase of 3-4 points). I guess it might depend on how you're progression has been so far (i.e. how long you've studied and the trajectory of your progression), but should be doable. Worst…

The office at U of T should know. You would probably need their permission to sit in their room for three hours so you should ask anyhow.
-
Take a break and do whatever you enjoy. If that is reading "a lot of articles from the economist" - sure, go ahead. But I'd assume a movie, a jog, etc... might be more conducive. You're almost at your goal score, you've earned a break - enjoy it wit…

As you said, it will vary per person. But +/- 3 is normal.

@gi-lsat2014-1 - I'm happy I could be helpful. PM me if you'd like to talk more. @dustinkei - I totally get the frustration at the expended time and effort. I wouldn't look at it as an irretrievable and pointless loss just because your score did n…

Any advice I can offer will only be secondary to the benefits of practice and investing large amounts of time into LSAT prep. Repetition is a huge element in LSAT progress. That being said: LR: You say that you are struggling with difficult questi…
-
It would depend on the person's study path. If there is drilling and studying of techniques between tests, there will most likely be a bigger discrepancy than if one simply does another test. Don't worry if the jumps are not as high and as quick as …

Yes, it is a not both rule. Your diagram is correct. A or B do not have to be selected. But if one of them is selected, the other is not.
-
I don't have access to the question, so I'm not sure I have enough information. But as for diagramming: "For without health, happiness is not obtainable." No health -> No happiness or the contrapositive: If I'm happy -> I must be healthy …

Ya, you're fine! You're utilizing the PTs well. (Even if you use it all up, it's not the end of the world. You can still improve your score and progress further.)

Oh, that's nice. Welcome! We're glad to have you. Let us know if you need anything.
