Figuring out which board to use can be a daunting task. Typically, i'll read the stimulus and try to draw a board in my mind's eye. If it looks like something that would work, I put it on paper. You also have to note that the same game can be done w…

@"Cant Get Right" This. After one of my PTs, I tried watching the videos for every single LR, LG, and RC question. It took 5 days to BR that test...

That my friend is what we call burnout. Step away from the LSAT, celebrate Independence Day, and return when you're feeling refreshed and ready. See if that improves your score.
-
Pshh. Can you stop the LSAT? Because some of us are trying to celebrate 'Merica! Seriously, I haven't gone out on the 4th for the past two years...

Looks like @"Cant Get Right" and @stepharizona got you covered. Return to the curriculum and relearn whatever it was that gave you trouble on the June LSAT. Then, drill those section. Once you've nailed them down, start PTing again to ensure that yo…

Not sure if it'll be beneficial to go for another take, given that the student is already in 1L.

Try out the starter package for a month. If you like it, you can always upgrade. I've tried multiple prep companies. The only one I can honestly recommend is 7Sage.

Terribly sorry for your loss. With the LSAT, it's difficult to anticipate how much progress you will make over time. That is why most of the members here will tell you not to register until you are scoring within your target range (mid 160s for you)…

I'm inclined to agree with both @doneill3389 and @"Cant Get Right" . There's really no reason as to why members would misrepresent their results - it's not like the site offers some type of incentive for posting results. It's also important to note…

I would start with 2 a week for now, then when you're ready switch over to 3/week. You should take it easy in September - switch back to two/week. Like @"Cant Get Right" has stated, anticipate needing a break, because you likely will.
-
@BruiserWoods What she said! Start going through the problem sets in the curriculum. You would probably benefit from the medium and hard problem sets.
-
Postpone your test date. If money isn't an issue, cancel and don't register until you are ready.

A wise person once said, one man's LSAT prep material is another man's bonfire fuel.
-
Congrats buddy! Best of luck with the application process!
-
How about you just contact LSAC and ask if you can give me your score. I'll be more than happy to take it off your hands . In all seriousness, I would apply with that incredible GPA and LSAT.
-
With an official 168 score, you would be a great candidate for private tutoring. Breaking into the 170s entails finding out what your specific weaknesses are (timing, not skipping properly, etc.). That's something that tutor can help with. You'll al…

It helps solidify your understanding of the concepts covered in the curriculum. Moreover, it helps you understand what your weaknesses are. When you grade a PT and review, your reviewing with a "bias." Doing so makes it more difficult to think criti…

@"Tiffany barragan" Sure thing! Best of luck to you!
-
For the most part, yes. However, it's important to remember that there are usually some relatively easy questions towards the end of a section (18+) and a few relatively difficult questions in the middle (12+). Those numbers are just estimates - mo…
-
All of the above, paying close attention to the question types that tripped you up the most, the game types that you had the most trouble with, and the issues you had with RC (didn't like the subject so it threw you off, timing was bad, etc.). This…

The LSAT shouldn't be rushed. If a prep company says "You should have started studying way sooner!" there's a good chance that they're trying to say "Hey, you effed up. But, don't worry, you can remedy your eff up by taking OUR course." Nice marketi…

@legal_name You can always get in touch with one of the admins here. 7Sage is really good about taking requests . This site's all about the people!
-
Great post. You're absolutely right. I tend to do far better on a PT when I've eaten healthy carbs and protein prior.
-
@stepharizona Sure thing! I've found that I usually go through one pencil per game. In other words, my pencil becomes too dull to use on a game by the last question. Depending on how much you diagram, you can either reduce or increase the number of …
-
@"Nathan Turley" You are certainly correct about that!
-
I've learned the hard way (not really, I just listened to @"Cant Get Right" ) that your timed score simply tells you how well you will do under timed conditions. Your BR score is a better indicator of your understanding of the LSAT. Keep working on …
-
There are a couple of ways: -For non-conclusion/main point questions, I tend to use the indicator words. Try not to rely on indicator words for MP/MC questions - they tend to indicate subsidiary conclusions. -The "Why" method: This one is my favori…
-
I don't think there's a designated filter for such questions. However, focus on the sufficient assumption, MBT, parallel reasoning, and parallel flaw questions. Those will make up the bulk of diagramming questions.
-
Bring a bunch of pencils to the test. When I was taking group PTs, one of the other students would always bring 8+ wooden pencils. 6 were reserved for LG, the rest for the remaining sections. I usually bring 8 - 6 for LG, 2 for RC and LR.
-
Do it through LSAC, it'll be more convenient for both you and the recommender. Here is what I did: Contacted my recommender ahead of time and asked if they could write me a LOR. I told them to take their time and to get in touch with me when they ar…
