Yeah you'll get an email!

Honestly even November is pretty soon if you're just starting to study, but for a 5-10 point increase you should be able to pull it off. Definitely don't take in September. Try to have the rest of your app ready to go for when you get that November …

What @Alex said. Another way to think of it is if either set of items could be the board/game pieces.
-
Have you thought about taking a gap year before going to law school?
-
Missing 5-8 means you're missing the equivalent of a whole game. Even though it's your strength, I would still recommend putting in the time to drill and foolproof games. It's totally reasonable for you to get down to -2 or better. And if it's the s…

YES to Anna Karenina, it's a good book and the convoluted paragraph long sentences are both good practice and tiring.
-
By reading all four paragraphs in succession, do you mean all four passages? So you're reading all four passages and then coming back and reviewing and doing the questions? Personally, this sounds like it would make RC way more stressful. Here's the…

I've found that even if I "feel" like I'm awake enough to take a PT/study in the evening after work, I do worse than in the mornings. I think it's good to study in lots of different conditions though so that you'll be ready for whatever happens on t…

I totally get what you mean about looking at a question during BR and being like how did I not get this. So frustrating! How long have you been forcing yourself to go to bed at 9? Do you still make yourself get up at 6? For me, trying to go to bed a…

These are all great points! I typically go back to my circled problems, but I have to be really cautious with this because I tend to change answers AWAY from the correct answer because of second guessing myself. So I really only spend time on questi…
-
No problem! It's really helped me to improve on specific question types. As a bonus, it makes me feel extra confident about them. Maybe your least favorite types will become your best after a while!
-
That sounds pretty much the same as what I'm up to. Good luck to you as well!
-
I average about -2 on RC. I usually have around five minutes left after bubbling, which is less than on my other sections. One thing that I've started doing is skipping to the last passage and doing it first. I HATE getting to the last passage and f…
-
Agree with everything above. Even if you're applying this cycle, November would be okay. There is no reason to take the real test when you haven't even had time to PT yet. It's definitely worth it to be patient and get a higher score. You'll also fe…

I think that subvocalizing is a great idea. Another thing that I do is if there is a word that I can't pronounce in my head, I don't waste time trying to figure out how it's supposed to sound. Just give it a sound or an initial or something as a pla…

I think that you should clarify (for yourself) what your goal score is. A ten point range is kind of big. If your target is 150 because 150 would get you into the school you want with the scholarships you want, then that's awesome! But if 150 is you…
-
I think you can kind of do both- since you want to be repeating a game several times over the course of say a week, here's what I would do. Let's say you just did the basic sequencing games lesson. I would do all of those games in the practice set. …
-
I would recommend creating your own cheat sheet as you go through the lessons. Keep a word doc or maybe even an excel sheet and write down in your own words what you've learned about each question type and how best to approach them. The process of c…

What @Ohnoeshalpme said. It depends on what you mean by "lower" school- if you mean non T14 but still a very strong regional school, then yes it is possible. Your chance of Biglaw greatly improves when you go to higher ranked schools though. I think…
-
I would definitely go back and watch the relevant lessons for all of those types of questions. If you weren't doing this already, attempt to answer the question before watching the video, that way you can see where you went wrong (if you didn't unde…
-
I think that any course you can afford would be enough to help you reach your goal (with enough studying/effort). To score a 150 you really just need to understand the basics and because the curriculum (which is included in every package) covers all…

I always bubble after a game, after an RC passage, and before I have to turn the page in LR. I’m also terrified of bubbling errors. It might be a few seconds slower to do fewer questions at once, but I think it’s worth it!
-
Yes; it's ordered the way it is for a reason. I can't think of any reason to skip around except if you're testing really soon and just need to focus on one section, but since September is a month away and you're just starting the curriculum I'm assu…
-
I think you may have answered your own question- if you are rushing through, then most of our advice is going to be to slow down and give it the time it deserves in order to work. If you want to improve your attention span on RC it's really just gon…
-
I think it depends on what you mean by peak. There's really no such thing (in my opinion) as a personal peak. The only peak is 180. Will you be able to get a 180 after 30 PTs? Probably not. Will you be able to get a really good score after 30 PTs? I…
-
Welcome! This applies more to the PT stage, but: don’t get too hung up on scores, especially when you’re far out from the actual test. Everything is a learning experience. And you can do it!
-
Your gpa is above their median but not by a lot. Their median LSAT is 166 according to law school numbers. If you’re really committed to Berkeley, I would aim for the upper 160s rather than 163ish. With all of that said, I would say that postponing …
-
I started doing the last passage first and it’s helped me with my timing because I think I was spending too much time on easy questions and then I was rushed for the last passage. It’s helped so far but I JUST started trying it so my mind isn’t tota…
-
What was your score and what is your goal score? What did you use to study for the last one? I’m sure most people on here will recommend 7sage’s curriculum, but a cheaper option that a lot of people seem to like (I’ve never read it) is the LSAT Trai…

This might seem like a silly tip, and it probably won't save a TON of time, but if there is a word that you don't know how to pronounce (this happens to me mostly in science passages), don't try to pronounce it in your head! Just skim over it. Or re…
