Your situation is highly dependent. If you're dead set on attending Yale, for instance, then yes, a 173 versus a 176 is a huge difference. The 176 is above their current median while the 173 is a couple points below, so your odds of getting in would…

Congrats on being done! Go crush admissions.

Do you have to take the test in November? Like, could you push back to January? Additionally, is your BR score usually at least as good as -5 on LR and -6 on RC? To go from -5 on one LR section, which is considered a good LR score by most, to -13, …

Amazing score! Congrats!

Remember, some questions basically have to be brute forced. Watch JY's explanation and if he brute forced it as well, odds are you didn't do anything wrong. As for what to do about brute forcing, the best strategy, from what I've seen, is to do two…

Congrats!

Yes, I do a warm up before PTing. Typically, I'll do one of the easier games from a recent PT I've completed (that was at least a week or two before; I don't want to redo a game I did two hours before), one of the more difficult games from a recent …

@"mikalyn.greenzweig" @"Hinde Sophia" No, nobody knows when exactly the changes will take place, nor what exactly the changes will look like. If it's any comfort, though, every reputable prep company I've seen comment on the possible changes has sta…

I’m no legal expert, but the only way I could see it noticeably altering apps is the possible elimination of URM status consideration. There’s no way to know how the court will rule, nor how far their ruling will go, but if they do rule that race ca…

For necessary assumption questions? Or a particular question? Or something else?

Depending on where you are in your studies, I'd say once a week is about average. If, however, you're earlier in your studies (like still working on learning the fundamentals/going through the core curriculum), I don't think it makes much sense to b…

Since you only have a couple of weeks left before the test, I’d advise that you redo any game that you struggle with/miss questions on once or twice. Then, if you feel you’ve got the game down, focus on other games. You should remember most of the t…

Which question?
-
Yes, there is. In the core curriculum, you can edit any of the problem sets to give you unlimited time. Just click on the clock dropdown logo in the top right of the screen before starting a problem set and choose "unlimited time." You can also go t…

I think that's a great approach. As you said, you'll be simulating the randomness of test day as closely as possible. The only thing I'll add is that you may want to take a test or two on LawHub. Though 7Sage's interface is similar to the actual LSA…

For a place like uPenn with a 170+ median LSAT, I'd imagine an addendum is in order. If you don't think your LSAT score reflects your true abilities, you may want to point that out. With a GPA as high as yours perhaps you could leverage it, along wi…

Have you identified any questions types in particular that are troubling you? Are you running out of time on the section and not getting to attempt some of the questions? Are you attempting all of the questions but not having time to revisit any? Ar…

I think @blanklaw nailed it. I'm sure the tutors or sages could explain it better/give better advice, but I think it largely comes down to figuring out how best to approach each section and learning to bet on yourself. By figuring out how to approac…

There are a few things that have helped me a ton with this: Read each rule at least twice, maybe more. The first read through could be just to get you familiar with the rules and the game, the second read through could be to write them down, and t…

I think it largely depends on how quickly you feel you're grasping LG. For some people, they may have LG totally nailed down after doing the games from PTs 1-10. It's totally possible! Others may need 1-20 or 1-35. You may even need 1-35 plus most m…

No, there hasn't been any update on LG. And, really, there is no general consensus. I'm sorry it's not more definite! There's a few things to consider that I think will help to ease your concerns, though: Most prep companies that have officially c…

Huge congrats! You earned it.

When you miss a flaw question, really take time to analyze the flaw. Though flaw questions have been less formulaic in recent years, you still see routine flaws come up. Also, you’ll often see similar flaws across tests, even if they’re not identica…

I’m message each of you now!

My general rule is I only diagram when I have to. If you intuitively understand the problem or you can just see how the lawgic works in your head, I’d advise against diagramming. If the stimulus is too convoluted to grasp or the answer choices are d…

You may, and should, have five sheets of paper and a pencil. Though people use paper in varying amounts, almost everyone uses it for at least one or two of the sections. And yes, the 7Sage interface is simple. Flagging questions, striking through wr…

@Better_Late_Than_Never awesome. I’ll message you now

If this school is the "safety to [your] safety schools," I'm going to assume you're well above both of the school's medians, maybe even both of their 75th percentiles. If this is the case, it's' possible they're considering waitlisting you for yield…

Glad to hear everyone is interested! I'll message you each individually.

I made a 181 on my most recent PT. Finished the games sections with 37 minutes to spare. Beat that.
