Part of the point of BR is to only do the ones that you circled so that you learn where you're over and under confident. For example, if you thought you got a question right and you didn't circle it, but then you got it wrong, what happened? Stuff l…
-
That is definitely not advised. It takes away from the true review. Also, if you're PTing in the low-mid 160s I think it's a little unrealistic to expect 180 BR scores. Are you going over every single question in your BR or just the circled ones?
-
It sounds like maybe you have some misreading errors. Try forcing yourself to slow down a little bit while you're reading. And like @Ohnoeshalpme said, your BR score will help to figure out what you need to do moving forward.
-
Skip the really hard questions so that you have more time for the ones that you'll be able to get. Let's say you skip one question per passage (obviously you should still bubble in an answer, but just pick a letter). That gives you -4. Having the op…

@"Michaela.Pratt1" said: I don’t really get it lol 180 is the highest you can score so people were telling him to get a 180 but take a 180 means turn around...so he didn't get to the testing center...
-
What is your section breakdown (like, what does "pretty solid" mean)? Try skipping the really difficult questions to give yourself more time on the easy ones.
-
A couple of things. First, when you say that you're rushing through the CC and PTs, do you mean that you're doing them at the same time? If so, you really want to go through the whole CC before you start PTing. Second, is there a particular LR quest…
-
Definitely agree with the above! People spend months solidifying and really understanding logic games so I'd try not to get too discouraged after only a week or two. You'll get there!
-
If you have a good amount of solid work experience, then you could leave the TA part off. If you feel like you need to pad your resume though, you might want to leave it on. I think that'll just be a judgement call for you.
-
If you can get that LSAT score up to a 169-170 (which, based on your 165, seems totally doable) you'd have an incredible shot at UofM. Your list looks pretty good. You can also look up where most grads of schools end up, so that might help you if yo…
-
I would not include it if I were you. If you didn't get the degree, it's not much of a soft, and they don't care too much about graduate GPA anyway. It might make them wonder if you'll do the same thing at law school.
-
I agree with the commenters above, and I have a couple tips to add. I tend to go slower when I don't take the time to make inferences/split boards/understand the rules right up front. If I'm anxious about time then I tend to rush onto the questions …
-
If you want to drill but also want to leave PTs 58+ untouched then you'll have to redo those older problems, but that shouldn't be an issue at all. If you really really wanted problems you've never seen before I guess you could buy PTs 1-20 but that…
-
I'm applying next year but also considering requesting my letters this school year, because I'll have easier access to my professors and I want to give them plenty of time. I think it's okay to have them a cycle early. You're probably aware of this …
-
No problem!
-
This video might help. If you're having trouble with understanding complicated grammar, I'd maybe try diagramming sentences (obviously not while you're PTing, but as extra practice)
-
You shouldn't be taking PTs as you work through the CC. Also, most people only get a couple points increase immediately after the CC because it takes time to practice and implement what you've learned. If you haven't made improvements yet and you're…
-
It's nice that it's giving you a boost! I know several kids who took classes they knew they'd do poorly in at a community college so that it wouldn't mess with their gpa, and now it's hurting them in the law school process
-
Warm ups are short problem sets that you would create for yourself by printing/cutting out a few problems that are easy for you and maybe a simple logic game. The twenty point gap really isn't that surprising since you didn't get to so many question…
-
Whether or not you have to disclose depends on the wording of the application's questions, but I'd agree with @Kermit750 that it's generally best to disclose. I really don't think you need an addendum though. I feel like that would just draw more at…
-
I'd hold off on PTs until you are done with the curriculum. You really want to solidify those fundamentals before you start putting in the timed practice, and although it isn't completely new to you, you're switching to some new methods and you need…
-
I only have the starter course, but from my own experience and what I've gathered from others, no, you won't do every single question set. I always did a practice set after I completed that section of the CC, and now I go back and do problem sets if…
-
I think that community college class is the explanation! Usually transfers from community college aren't factored into your school's GPA but LSAC does include them
-
MBT. MSS would be something like "which one of the following is most likely to be true given the information above"
-
Yeah, go with the first one and don't worry too much about their job title.
-
You could think of it like when people say "I extend my condolences." They mean that they are giving their condolences to someone. The "extension" is science giving characteristics (description and explanation) to the humanities.
-
I'm an athlete and I stretch/exercise very frequently; I'm definitely not just "popping a pill" because it's easier haha.
-
Thank you guys for all of the great ideas! I think I am going to stay on my low dose and try to up my sleep game with melatonin etc.
-
I think you need to take a PT to see where you stand. If you only need a few points to boost your score up to your goal, then November gives you plenty of time. If you need a 15-20 point increase, it might take longer.
-
That's only about five PTs worth of games so I wouldn't get too discouraged yet. When people are "finished" foolproofing they've done well over a hundred games. It's definitely normal.
