Yep, I used earbuds. And I did also make use of the white noise/distractions part. When it comes down to it, you're not going to be able to 100% re-create test day environment. But you're not going to panic on test day because you don't have earbuds…

I also like testing at the public library. It's quiet, but also slightly higher noise level than actual test day, which I think is ideal for preparing yourself. I like switching it up some too, to make sure I don't get too content and used to 1 env…

I think my PT went up just a couple of points after finishing the cc. I think really, the cc lays the groundwork, but it is indeed the drilling and BRing post-cc where you make the gains. That seems to be pretty typical. You need the foundation in o…

Ok, that helps! You're on the right track here. Since the task at hand is identifying the flaw, basically you can ignore the part that's not flawed. Also, in this question, I sort of think there's a slight tricky sub-flaw here. I think it might be …

Can you let us know which question it is? I'm not really following the set up here. Copyright rules mean that you can't type out the actual text, but point us to the PT/section/question # and we'll try to help!

Classic Ticonderogas for life!

The general advice around here is 1 per week is all you really need, as far as full, timed PTs go. 2 is the very max I recommend, and probably only if you are studying full time. The reasoning is that the PT is really just a tool to gauge your prog…

Especially for those working full time, beware of burn out and don't push yourself too much. Learn your limits. Working too hard can be self-defeating. For me, that meant 1 weeknight off - making sure I did nothing LSAT-related and spent time doing …

I started at 155 diagnostic and have an official 168. Only 1 official test, though I’m now back to studying and planning on retaking in June and possibly again in September. Also for Sept v Nov, both would certainly be ok. But if you are ready and …
-
Yeah honestly, I wouldn't bother with it. You can if you want, just to see if you got a higher score. Particularly if you weren't able to finish sections. You could work through the questions you didn't get to. Otherwise, not that big of a deal. It'…

@jkjohnson1991 I will fully admit that my prep has been all over the place, and I don't think I'd recommend doing what I did haha. Before I found 7sage, I had already purchased a lot of the tests, so I didn't buy the Ultimate+ but began with Starter…

Wow, what an interesting mix on here! It's cliche, but I really do listen to a little of everything. Granted, a lot more podcasts than music these days. But, I'm a sucker for anything 90s dance/pop, alternative, indie pop, straight up top 40 pop, Br…

Everyone here gave wonderful tips. But just reassuring you, it is perfectly normal! I think my first PT after the cc only was like 1-2 points different from before the cc and I was bummed! And after that, my PTs were wildly inconsistent. Repetition …

I really don't think there's anything magical about 1-35. Before I took the LSAT in December and when I was studying last year, I didn't work through those at all. I've started FPing those recently though and man, there are some weird and tough game…
-
@AudaciousRed Have you paid the CAS fee? They don't issue a report until that is paid. But also, I don't believe they will compile a report until transcripts for all schools are in.
-
@"Return On Inference" Agree in theory, but 100-300 mcg does absolutely nothing for me. That's such a tiny dose. But I've also discussed with my doctor (who is a naturopath) and she encouraged 3mg every night. More than that (on a regular basis) and…
-
I think there's definitely a middle ground of some sort. In the last year or two, I've been doing some self-reflection and learning more about what I need in general, and particularly to be happy. And the answer to that a lot of times revolves aroun…

I like Trader Joe's sleepy time tea. It's a mint and chamomile blend, very soothing. I discovered a new thing that helps me though! It's maybe a little counterintuitive, but probably depends on why you have trouble sleeping. I now often fall asleep…

I thought about this for a while preparing for the LSAT and wondered if I should try prepping. But then realized no - it's definitely not necessary. I think the only prep you really should do is just read several of the prompts from the PTs to see w…

@mimimimi Hi there, and welcome back!! Thanks so much for stopping by. I'm 34 and just went through the application gauntlet, but decided to push back a year and reapply. It's really encouraging to hear from you! That's one of my concerns going in…
-
Yes, they definitely can consider a higher LSAT for scholarship negotiation purposes. The only real downside is that yes, some schools will not review an application if you have a pending LSAT. (USC was one for me. All other schools I applied to wer…

@"nicole.brooklyn" said: Assuming you are a typical applicant, you’ll pay for 2 LSATs, CAS, and 10 apps. That totals $1020 paid to LSAC. I wonder if they’ll see a drop in registrations for upcoming test dates. $190 seems prohibitively exp…

Oh man, the dry erase idea is genius! Brilliant, guys. Printing double sided helps. The cheap Brother laser printers are incredible and a fantastic value too. I have a $90-100 printer from them that I use at work and it is a champ. Going strong afte…

Thanks everyone! It's so helpful to keep hearing additional perspectives. So glad to know I'm not the only one haha. It's probably just extra frustrating because I know I can do better than I am right now, but I need to be patient. Hoping that RC wa…

Not the best photo and pardon the stacks of things around my desk, I just moved to a new apartment recently haha. Used to share a 2 bedroom townhouse with a roommate and now flying solo in a studio, so still playing tetris to figure out how to store…

Thank you all for the encouragement and advice! Good to hear experiences from a couple others who have felt this way too. Ugh. Really disheartening to feel like I've taken a few steps back. But going to try to keep focusing and hopefully it will all…
