Ratings are based on performance. One thing to keep in mind is that the ratings can sometimes seem "off" to some users. You may find a 2 difficulty rated question incredibly hard. On the other hand, a 5 difficulty question may seem like a cake walk …

@"Cant Get Right" pretty much covered it. Many of us have been studying since last summer. At this point, it's a matter of remaining focused and not letting this seemingly long process bring you down. That explains why you want to take the June test…

As a general rule of thumb: The more time you spend up front, the less time you'll spend on the questions. Part of this has to do with how confident you will feel about your board and rules if you spent a fair amount of time setting them up. Your …

I doubt it would look bad If you apply, they reject you, and you reapply. In the other scenario, you may have the option to defer matriculation. Some schools will allow you to push your start date by a year. There are a few articles online that dis…

@Mookittyy is right. Going from 159 - 165+ may take some time. However, this begs the question, which section(s) are you having trouble with? If it's LG, it's likely possible that you can boost your score quite a bit in a not-so-significant amount o…

6-8 months straight? Try a year. If your goal is to get into a top law school, and you are motivated to do so, a few extra months worth of studying wont hurt you. Remember, you are always welcome to take a few days off. Some even recommend taking a …

Awesome, thanks again 7Sage crew!

10-4. Can't wait!

Oh boy! Princeton is finally opening up their law school. It's about time...

If you have exhausted every method, then take an educated guess. By that I mean, eliminate the ACs that you are almost certain to certain are incorrect. Then, provide your best guess for which one you believe is correct. On a separate sheet of pape…

@only3months said: I don't think reading 5th grade level books is going to help much to be honest. If I missed your sarcasm, I'm sorry. Be gone, muggle. Sorry, I've always wanted to say that...and I'm not even a Harry Potter fan. To the original …

Don't translate based on question type. Translate when doing so would provide you with a better understanding of the stimulus. That said, in my experience the question types that demand the most diagramming are SA and PFlaw. NA and Flaw questions m…

Personal preference. Here is my take: It depends on my reason for skipping. If I read the stimulus and ACs, and I feel somewhat confident about an answer, I will bubble it in, and mark the question as "skipped." If after reading the stimulus the onl…

Yup! Couldn't agree more. I took a different course. When I finished their curriculum, I was only slightly pleased. It certainly wasn't worth the $1000+ spent on the course. Started 7Sage 2 weeks after completing the other course. Within a month I …

Found this out the hard way. After months of using mechanical pencils, I randomly took a PT. Half way through the LG section I recall thinking to myself, "Gah! I need at least 8 pencils to take this test..."

Not knowing which set of variables to use as the base v. the game pieces is a strong indicator (the two will seem interchangeable in terms of their role in the game). I tend to use a chart when the variables are either doing something, or they're n…
-
I would do at least one PT to gauge where you stand. You may find that you still need to work on LG, and that you're fine in the RC and LR department. Or, the opposite. Figure out where you're lacking, and drill those.
-
@"Darth Jurist" You got it. Yes, many of the flawed arguments use an analogy improperly. They'll analogize X to Y. However, what they'll fail to consider is that although the two have SOME point of comparison, they are incredibly different. Like the…
-
Your explanation of a counterexample is spot on -it's simply an example that counters the original claim. For instance: "All fish can shoot lasers out of their eyes." A counterexample would be "Paul the fish cannot shoot lasers out of his eyes" - yo…

Second to last question...well done, J.Y...well done...

Oh my gosh! Congrats @"Nicole Hopkins" you deserve it! My cousin graduated from there...you'll love it.

Sure thing! Best of luck!

I concur with the fact that prospective students should focus on becoming well-rounded and great writers. However, adding an additional year means adding an additional $20k-$60k + an additional year worth of living expenses...it just isn't practical…
-
@mimimimi Sure thing! You probably already know how to submit a LOR via the LSAC, so I won't go over that. Regarding the school, contact their admissions office. Tell them what you told us here (you submitted an application, but one of your LORs was…
-
There's some psychology behind it, so yes I tend simulate real testing conditions as best I can. The ideas is to prepare your mind and body for what is to come. If you're going to be taking it in a large auditorium where having few students in the r…
-
I doubt it would hurt you. You can mention that you requested that she submit it at her earliest convenience. The admissions board will probably know that deans tend to have incredibly busy schedules - at least that has been my experience with the o…

2 BRs a week sounds like a happy medium! Let me know if you ever need help setting it up.
-
I really don't like offering advice when given a time limit. You shouldn't be scheduling the test, then studying in hopes that you'll be ready in time. Study first, then when you're ready, schedule the test. That said, I would use the next 3 months…
-
I haven't noticed a pattern. The more difficult questions tend to exploit ones inability to find the flaw and use it to weaken the argument in the first place.
-
I quickly skim through the test to see if there was a BR question I forgot to circle. I usually PT at a University. So, when I'm done, I grab my lunch, drive up to the roof, and eat while enjoying the city view. I know, sounds odd but it's a nice wa…
