  • I'll be 22, although I did graduate college early and will have a couple years of work experience. Honestly, I'm jealous of the better work experience and ability to save more before law school. I don't think anyone will think that you're older or e…
  • Some schools have a diversity prompt that specifically mentions racial diversity, etc. Others are more open. I think that you can definitely write a compelling diversity statement about your service, just pay attention to the specific diversity stat…
  • https://lsatcenters.fandom.com/wiki/LSAT_Test_Center_Wiki this site has reviews for test centers!
  • I hate to be nitpicky, but the example above isn't quite accurate. If this were an LR question, "Timmy ate the cake" would not HAVE to be true. -Timmy could have thrown the cake away -Claire could have eaten it before taking it home etc.
  • I would also recommend postponing, unless your goal score is around 160. Note: there's absolutely nothing wrong with a goal score of 160, it just sounds like from your post you're hoping to get up to where you're BRing. If this is the case, I don't …
  • So, here's my 2 cents. The fact that you're a reverse splitter makes no difference at this point. To negotiate scholarships, you really want to be able to leverage a better offer- "I really want to go to your school, but X school offered me this muc…
  • One of my professors put it in a way I really liked: your goal in the personal statement is to make yourself sound like the kind of person that the reader would want to get lunch with. Meaning, you should be interesting. It's not necessarily about m…
  • A lot of people have made threads about this lately- I would recommend using the search feature and seeing if any of those can help answer your questions
  • Really just more practice is what you need. A ten point jump after the CC is great! Don't let the LR difficulties get you down. You'll be able to improve. I think that it's easier to answer problems in sets for a couple reasons: !), you're obviously…
  • I think it's really great that you're helping him with this, but I would also encourage him to do some of his own research. He might visit a school and think that the fit is better for him, or he might like a particular clinic and not even want to e…
  • Don't take in June. If taking PTs and getting low scores is depressing you, having an official score that won't be close to your goal will be really upsetting. There's no reason to take when you know for a fact you aren't ready. It sounds to me like…
  • Generally for people with foreign degrees, the LSAT becomes more important, but your LSAT is great so I wouldn't be worried. If you check out the 7sage predictor and the article they wrote explaining what goes into it, there's a portion about how in…
  • Do you have a reportable LSAC GPA?
  • The above posters have given you great advice, so I just want to add one thing- it's better to do three games accurately than two games accurately and two games really poorly. If you can make your goal to finish three games with accuracy, and maybe …
  • By current score, do you mean your average score or your highest score ever? In the last week or so leading up to the test, you won't be learning anything new. Now is the time to really get into your routine and mentally prepare. This means probably…
  • Like the others have said, and improvement is likely to help. If one or two points still puts you below the 25th, it might not make a big difference, but like @CantStopWontStop said, getting to the median would be huge.
  • I don't think it's too early to be asking- I mean, people studying for the July test only have a few months. Having said that, I don't really expect 7Sage to change/update the curriculum much (if at all). All of the logic, questions types, and conte…
  • Two things stand out to me: 1) there's an obvious confidence component. I think you probably were intuitively getting those answers correct before. Now that you know more, you aren't trusting those instincts. Your trust and speed will come back with…
  • How long did this BR take you? I would say if you haven't foolproofed, work on that during your non blind review time. Maybe even take a break from PTs to get through foolproofing PTs 1-35. My process looked like this: Saturday- PT Sunday/Monday-…
  • I'm really confident that you can score a 168+ by July. Keep up a steady but reasonable study schedule to avoid burnout. I would recommend about three hours a day. I'm assuming you haven't foolproofed yet- after foolproofing, I'd bet your score will…
  • What is your goal score and what are your current PTs? I would recommend doing one PT a week and using it to keep track of your progress and identify weaknesses, and then the rest of your study time should be devoted to BRing that test and drilling …
  • Take your time with your diagrams. If you spend the time up front, you'll go through the questions much faster. In my personal experience, you don't have to make every single possible inference for every game in order to do the questions quickly and…
  • Absolutely just stick with the test center that you know is good and professional. From the stories that I've heard, lots of proctors don't really know the LSAT or law school admissions or anything. They're just people doing a job. They don't care a…
  • I agree with everything @Alex wrote. You're at the point where you can confidently move through the easy questions without picking apart every single answer choice. I did this too- with the first ten or so questions, I skimmed every AC but once I kn…
  • I'm sorry, but if you truly are "bad" at 3/4 of the test (reading comp and two LR sections), you can't improve enough in two months to get a 180. I think a five point increase in two months is pretty reasonable. If you're working and taking classes,…
  • If there's a way to leave a review/comment/something that could be a warning for others considering the service, I would do that. Other than emailing them, I don't think there's really anything you can do besides cut your losses and be done with the…
  • Answer choice A is basically saying, if there is no overwhelming evidence for either side then we should not make a decision about whether or not the hypothesis is true. "As to its truth" is just a more confusing way of saying "we shouldn't make a d…
  • I think you can get a 170+, but it might take longer than six months. For some people, a twenty point jump could take a year or more of studying. It's also completely possible for you to do it in six months, just know that it is a really difficult t…
  • I agree with everything said above. When I first started, all I could afford was the Starter package, and it helped immensely. It's really a matter of what you can afford and how much time you're planning on putting into studying.
  • Typically, if you have a significant update to something in your application you can send an update- in this case, maybe just email the adcom an updated resume?
