Different notation styles work for different people. I started off underlining or bracketing a pretty decent amount of stuff. I always had timing issues then. I decided to try notating a lot less, and my speed vastly improved without any drop in sco…

Guys, I finally just broke 170 on a PT today, first time everrr! Woo! 171! June 11, here I come!
Congrats I also noticed that you said you've been scoring better on RC recently are you stu…
Foolproofing can really be done with any games. It's nice to have 1-35 so you can save the other games for full PTs. I did most of my studying while I only had the Starter course, and foolproofed using various tests in the 50s and 60s. But it might …
So since you have the Starter course, I'm guessing you aren't able to see JY's explanation on this. He actually addresses that this is a poorly written question.
To sum up, the way it's worded, it looks like we are supposed to assume that the law d…
For the most part, I subscribe to the general theory that you shouldn't take the LSAT until you are ready. As background: I ended up postponing twice (June and September of last year) and didn't sit until December, when I felt ready although not yet…
While I think generally the idea of pushing yourself to do sections in less time is good, you may have the opposite issue here. With this extra time plus extra breaks, you are looking at a 6 hour and 45 minute test. That is an extremely long period …
Yes, it could potentially help in negotiating scholarships if you apply to other schools. Stetson won't know if you applied elsewhere, but what happens is that they will make you an offer, and you can negotiate with them. In that conversation, you c…
I agree with the others above. Difficult games can take a lot of different forms. It probably would more involve being aware of how much time you're spending on something and realizing when it is taking way too long. But also, it's definitely an ano…
While I think it's possible this is a trend, I'd stay away from creating any strict rules like that. The LSAT loves to throw curve balls. It's a lot more important to know how to just work through the problems. It's possible that could be a hint, bu…
Yes, I really think the best way to do it is to just go through the order is it laid out, top to bottom. The lessons flow really well in building a foundation first, and then learning new skills and how to approach questions as you go.
I wouldn't w…
AHHHHH amazing!!! I'm sooo excited for you!!!
(And if there's something you can do for the community, I'd also say - please come back and visit! We always can use more 1Ls and up giving advice!)
Yaasssssss!

Honestly, I've tried the JY approach of reading 1 passage and then tackling some questions but it just didn't really work for me. I took way less time by reading both passages and then going through the questions just once. It feels to me like a typ…
I recently re-started studying for the LSAT after deciding to push back a year and re-apply. After several months completely off of studying, I was very rusty and kind of panicking about it.
However, I finally got my mojo back and am back to scorin…
I don't do this myself, but I think that a lot of people who are gauging time spent on individual questions do it by recording video of themselves doing a section and reviewing it afterward. I do sort of gauge my time by checking my watch when I tur…
Honestly, that to me looks like a solid upward trend with just a couple of outliers. I think you're doing great!! We all have certain tests that we bomb for one reason or another. My weakness is RC so any test that has a really hard RC section, my s…
@AnxietybyDeath Another option actually, is you could apply on the day that it opens and the school will see you have a pending LSAT. Most schools will hold your application automatically until the score is released. If you want them to do that, you…
Agreed on what the last few folks are saying about WUSTL's portability. However, I would note that while the place they have the largest percentage of students getting jobs is Missouri, that number is only around 25% of the class. That's followed by…
It might not hurt to give LSAC a call and discuss with them what the options might be and when you would need to apply for them, in case you think your hand might heal up before the test.

First of all, I think you should be aiming to take the LSAT in September. While it's noble that you want your applications in as early as possible, applying in October would be basically the same as applying on September 15. And you would be much be…

Thank you so much everybody for sharing your thoughts Loving the fruitful discussion!
@"Leah M B" your explanation in terms of "at least 1" really cleared things up ! Really helps since I was struggling to explain the l…
If you do make it into the 170s, I think you should have a solid shot. T3 would be tough and certain other ones like Chicago that place a lot of value on GPA. But if you blanket the whole T14, I think you should have a good shot. Just focus on the L…
You are correct, that they essentially mean the same thing.
"Not all skilled artists are famous"
This means roughly, of all the skilled artists, at least 1 of them is not famous. If you take out the "not", you would have just "all skilled artists …
I don't believe you would be considered URM. Typically, URMs are only black/African American, Native American, Mexican and Puerto Rican. Obviously you would be a minority (and I could see you writing a really interesting personal and/or diversity st…
