How much are you studying every day? Is it a lot? Do you take full days off? I wonder if there might be some burn out involved here. I think you maybe should do more work in timed sections instead of by question type. I think the question type thin…

I think perfect score watchis allowed, but there were reports of some proctors taking it away anyway. ::shrug:: Proctors can be weird and inconsistent. The Casio with the rotating bezel is generally going to be a safer bet. I believe they consider …

It’s really not necessary, and from what I’ve heard, doesn’t make a huge difference if LORs are geared toward a specific school. If I were you, I’d have them be general, and apply to not just that school but several of its competitors as well. If yo…

The good news is: most people don’t improve a ton of points immediately after the cc. It takes a while of putting all the concepts in practice for it to really sink in. I’m on my phone at the moment so not super easy to directly link, but I highly …

Not familiar with that exact scenario, but last year a good number of people got emails from WashU asking to schedule an interview even though they hadn’t applied haha. I think it’s just a unique way of recruiting. The interview request worked on me…

... I’m confused here. What do y’all mean by ties? I’m lost on what is being discussed here haha. Is there something new in the cc?
-
Yes, agreed with the others. I think it’s best to try it on your own once. That helps to show when you’re improving. It’ll push you to try making all the inferences first. Then watch the video, then do the repetitions. It’s definitely painstaking, b…

I sat for the June test and scored about 5 points below my average and 4 points lower than my official test from December. For some reason, it seems like this test got a lot of people. There’s always going to be an outlier here and there. Try not to…

Business casual is perfect. When I visited UCLA, there was a pretty big spectrum. Some in nice outfits with jeans, a few students in suits. Shooting for the middle is about right. It’ll likely be hot though so no one will judge you if you dress for…

I think ideally, full PTs should be done about once a week. That’s what I think the majority of students around the board here do. Doing a full PT is helpful to gauge your score and build stamina for test day, but if you do them too much, you’re goi…

@MelindaDee said: I don't really have big worries about how I'll do once in law school -- I'm more worried about getting into someplace I want to go. I saw some stats that older students are accepted at lower rates than younger -- even with co…

Just saw this and was going to suggest Sage Advice but it’s been nominated! So I would also second that haha. I wouldn’t hate Just Admit It haha. And De Facto The Matter made me lol. Sage Wisdom Judicious Approach

Well, I can't speak to the relationship aspect (suuuuuper single lol), but my schedule of studying while working was typically that I would try to study during my lunch break (and then eat while I'm working). On weekdays, I'd put in about 2-3 hours.…
-
Well, this is a pretty wide open question. Do you think you are sacrificing accuracy in favor of speed? I'm wary of saying that speed isn't a problem but accuracy is. It's better to go slowly and carefully and work up on speed than to rush through q…

Whoaaaa that goose neck holder is awesome!! I haven't seen anyone recommend that, I might get on the recording train now haha. I was too lazy to figure out a way to do it haha.

I'm not sure how much this applies to Canadian schools, but generally it is considered a "soft". It's nice to have, but won't have a drastic effect on your admissions cycle. The GPA doesn't get calculated in to your official GPA, but they will have …

This is also a really great overview on how to handle it on your end: https://classic.7sage.com/admissions/lesson/how-to-get-the-best-letter-from-your-recommenders/
-
There's also a section on this in the Admissions course! https://classic.7sage.com/admissions/lesson/rec-cheat-sheet/ The whole section on LORs is really helpful, if you haven't gone over it yet. And shoot, I had a link to that University of Utah …

Hi all! I'm in a slightly different spot from most of you. I'm 34 but single, no kids. My challenges are a little different. I'm thankful I'll be able to move to wherever school works best for me, but not having a family means that I'll be looking t…
-
I don't think so! @"David.Busis" would be more the expert on this, but I think the disadvantage he's specifically talking about are those things which you said really don't apply to you. If a school is trying to evaluate a student with a vague non-c…

You're in good company! I didn't drop that much, but I took the June and it was 4 points lower than when I took the December test, and about 5 or 6 points lower than my current average. For some reason, it seems like more folks than usual bombed thi…
-
I'll offer my perspective as someone who was kinda in your same situation. I started out with just the Starter package here because I had already bought the majority of available tests. With that package, you get the entire core curriculum (every l…

Also @CardsnHogz - please keep us updated! It's always helpful to have these threads to reference once folks figure things out. I'll be very curious to see what happens, and hoping it's in your favor! It sounds like it should be, but LSAC can be tri…

Was just about to say some of the same things as @"paulmv.benthem" did here. 10-15 points on top of where your PT average is would be tough, but if you truly bombed June, then it might be possible to come up 10-15 from that score. If you feel comfor…

If you have the funds, I highly suggest Ultimate+. It makes a huge difference having all the problem sets available, as well as every single published LSAT with video explanations for every question. It's such an incredible resource. It's going to …

Congrats on finishing the cc! I highly suggest you watch this webinar video: https://classic.7sage.com/webinar/post-core-curriculum-study-strategies/ It'll give you some ideas on how to study, and how to know when you're ready to move into differen…

Since you're looking at CA schools, I'll mention that USC specifically would not review my application if I had a pending LSAT. So, if you are planning on applying there, keep that in mind. I was registered for February this past year to try to do t…

There's definitely a good shot! I'd highly recommend watching this webinar: https://classic.7sage.com/webinar/post-core-curriculum-study-strategies/ It'll give you some tips on how to study and gauge your progress.

Wish I could join, but tough time for the west coast, I'll still be working. Looking forward to having video explanations down the line!

What a fantastic story! Thank you so much for sharing with us. So excited for you! Congratulations!!!
