@"Cant Get Right" I really appreciate the response. I figured that unless somebody is an extremely fast reader it would be difficult to have much time at the end of a section. If you don't mind me asking a follow up, when you say that you "treat eac…

If you feel that you learn better at the library, I don’t think it would hurt to go over lesson there. For PTs, though, I think it’s best to take them in the environment you’ll test in. After all, as you pointed out, testing at the library isn’t an …

Don't choose a major solely because you think it'll boost your odds in admissions. Law schools care far more about your GPA and LSAT score than what your major was. Choose a major you want to pursue and that you think you can do well in.
-
Generally, yes. I think one to two PTs a week is reasonable. If you’re scoring high, you could probably do three a week. If you’re doing more than three a week and taking a break day each week, you don’t even have a full day to blind review each tes…
-
I recommend taking PTs after completing the curriculum. Some people take PTs at regular intervals throughout the curriculum. It’s just personal presence and whatever you think will help you learn best. Regardless of what you do, though, I highly adv…

@bananabo that is super helpful! Thanks for the input.

Post fool proofing I think you're good to start PTing. Towards the end of fool proofing you may want to start doing some LR and RC problem sets and reviewing any CC lessons that are rusty. I think it would be pretty difficult to get through fool pro…
-
I recommend doing half of the problem sets. For each question type, I did every other set. I'd start with set one, then go to set three, then five, etc. Like you said, this leaves sets for you to drill later when you identify your weaknesses. I did…

The general wisdom is that your GPA and LSAT scores constitute about 80 to 90 percent of your application package. This isn’t a hard and fast rule, but if you look at admissions trends since data has been collected, your GPA and LSAT matter far more…

Which question?
-
I agree with @samlsat- . Making a solid study schedule and sticking with it is one of the best services you can do yourself. Additionally, I'd recommend focusing on sections you're weakest in. With a 150, I'd assume you're missing multiple questions…

@"basma.moustafa8" I'm glad to hear it! With consistency you can make a ton of progress!
-
I recommend going through the lessons before PTing. In my view, if you haven't even gone over a section in the curriculum, testing yourself on it doesn't mean much. Sure, you may intuitively be good at some things, but testing yourself on a section …
-
I generally advocate for trying to get through all of the questions rather than telling yourself to just focus on some of the questions with (the hope of) higher accuracy. In a logic game section, for instance, if you decide to do the first three ga…
-
Yes, I think both choices would work. The assumption being made in the argument, as you pointed out, is one of causation. For a strengthening question, since you’re not being asked to make the argument valid, an answer choice that makes the causatio…

Before I answer, I recommend that you don’t print games out anymore. Do them on your screen. The test is now administered over the computer so it’s not a good strategy to get used to doing games on paper. With that said, I’m going to paste a commen…

Totally feel you. I really think that once you're proficient with LG, the mental aspect is half the battle. I've found a couple of things help me with keeping my confidence high and not psyching myself out too much: First, I like to remind myself t…
-
A recommendation I’ve found useful is to view the passages as an opportunity to learn something new. Since it seems you already heed this advice (as you said you find humanity passages interesting), however, I know of one other piece of advice that …
-
@amyerusso totally understandable. Best of luck!
-
Currently, the test is administered virtually (which LSAC announced will be true through at least June of 2023) and you take four sections. Three sections are graded (one LR, one RC, and one LG) and one section is experimental. The experimental sect…
-
Have you watched the core curriculum videos on grammar? I think JY does a great job explaining the most pertinent aspects of LSAT grammar.
-
For LR, have you noticed any discernible trends with analytics? Like particular question types that give you trouble? If so, you may want to take the time between practice tests to drill the types troubling you. If there’s no real trend, meaning you…
-
It will be online. LSAC announced they plan to keep it that way at least through June 2023. And you’re correct, the test is four sections, three of which are scored, and one is experimental and unscored.
-
@jessica8871 Okay, I think I'm grasping what you're asking now. Thanks for clarifying. I certainly didn't answer your question, but I'll give it another go. Again, please just let me know if I'm missing the point. Apologies for the hassle! You said…
-
I read on some subreddit months ago that he got a 173. That could be totally untrue, but it’s the only time I’ve ever seen someone mention his score. I just remember because it was totally unrelated to what was being discussed. Regardless of his ex…
-
Also, though it will probably take longer, you can go back to the stimulus to verify something is supported. It’s worth remembering that for all MSS questions, including the harder ones, only one of the answer choices receives legitimate support. Be…

If I’m understanding what you’re asking, it’s possible for the records to not sell well and you still become famous. In your scenario, the records selling well is the sufficient condition and becoming famous is the necessary condition. If you deny t…
-
@AlexgLSAT @RaphaelP both of your responses make a lot of sense! I appreciate the added perspectives. I’ll definitely keep one. Thank y’all!
-
I think it's totally fine to skip a section of the curriculum if you're already scoring where you'd like to score in that section. This is particularly true for LG and RC. The curriculum doesn't really introduce any outside knowledge or theories to …

Edit: my apologies. I was totally wrong.
