  • Typically, scores take around three weeks. My guess is that they aren't committing to a time frame right now because of the switch to digital. They probably don't know exactly how long it will take to complete the process.
  • This is all really great advice. Another thing that my Dr. mentioned to me was that exercising wakes you up so if you have trouble sleeping you might want to not plan your workout for only a couple hours before bed
  • Congratulations on your acceptance! Did they specifically tell you that you needed a 157, or did they just say to raise it, or are you hoping to come to them with a higher score for negotiations? At this point, it's getting pretty close to test dat…
  • @Alchemy98 Sorry, I misunderstood!
  • I think it really just depends on how much you can afford/are willing to spend. I would recommend the Ultimate. The core curriculum takes two to three months to complete, and there are no questions in the drill sets or lessons that would ruin recent…
  • As you are doing the problems, you want to circle (or if you aren't printing them out, just make a note on a post it) the ones where you aren't completely sure/confident in your answer choice. Later, you will go back and redo those questions, giving…
  • You shouldn't be checking the answers before the blind review
  • I typically go in order unless there's a question that's giving me a little trouble. I think that the idea behind doing local questions makes complete sense, but I also think that you should do what works for you. I typically get between -3 and -0 f…
  • Any PT that you have on 7sage can be taken as a digital test. I believe that LSAC's website has some sample digital material as well. As far as blind review, you can flag questions as you go and use that to go back for your review. The only issue wi…
  • The jump from mid 150s to the 170s is really hard, and it takes a lot of people a year or more. You could be really gifted and pull it off in 4 months, but it’s going to be difficult. I think most people here will recommend 7sage’s curriculum, but i…
  • Yeah, they’re harder. But I think you’ll still be in good shape for this cycle- I would take July, and then take advantage of the free cancel/retake if you don’t score how you want. The core fundamentals that you’ve learned are still the same, there…
  • It will let you do more than three! I’m not sure what the limit is though
  • I think it’s okay to use a year old one, just maybe give the professor/recommender a heads up or ask if they’re okay with it?
  • I think that that is most likely your answer, and you should try to work on your speed so that you can get to more questions.
  • It's going to be a little tricky without purchasing anything at all, but there are still lots of things that you can do. If you can't afford anything at all, that's understandable, but if you can save up and spend a hundred bucks or so you'll be muc…
  • How long is it taking to load? Mine typically only takes a few seconds, so it really doesn't throw me out of the groove too much. If it's taking a super long time, I would recommend switching browsers to see if that helps
  • Don't start PTing until after you're completely finished with the CC, but after that, one PT per week is a pretty good pace. The PT per week helps you see where you are, what your weaknesses and strengths are, and how to improve for the next PT.
  • Mine experience was similar, as well. Even if your thinking doesn't feel extremely different, you have learned a lot and comfort with the test/speed is a big help as well. Don't doubt yourself, you've made real progress and it isn't just a fluke!
  • Are you getting to all of the questions when you PT and then correcting the wrong ones when you BR, or do you not have time for some of the questions and complete them in BR?
  • People here do PS swaps all the time! I'd be happy to give it a look if you send it to my inbox

  • I would go for October then! If you have your other application materials ready to go, you'll still be in great shape as far as timing goes
  • Get the ultimate plus!
  • What was your score and what is your goal score? It’s going to be hard to give good advice without more background info
  • I would lean towards October, but I’d say it depends on what your goal score. A jump from 145-155 or even 155-165 is going to be a whole lot easier than 160-170. If you are low on logic games, you can definitely scoop up 5-10 points there in a month…
  • I emailed my professors and explained that I was applying to law school, when I hoped to have my applications completed, and told them that I would be happy to meet in person if it would be helpful. If they know you reasonably well they might not ev…
  • I did them by PT in order. I think it's important to be able to switch between game types. Now, having said that, if you noting a particular game type that always gives you more trouble, maybe take a day or two to really focus on understanding those…
  • Typically, I would say postpone. HOWEVER, because of the opportunity to cancel and have another test free of charge, I would say go ahead and take in July. If you've never taken the test, one cancellation and one score really won't give anyone pause…
  • Definitely keep practicing full length tests. It's definitely easier to nail one section at a time, because mentally you won't get fatigued, you won't be psyched out from previous sections, and you'll often know exactly what type of section you're a…
  • If you only started the CC one week ago, you shouldn't be taking prep tests. Wait until you've finished the whole course to take another one. If you aren't already performing at a high level, a range of scores is pretty typical. Maybe one of the oth…
  • @SCLawbae it could take up to a week or two. Mine only took a few days. You can find it under "academic summary"
