@stepharizona pretty much covered it. Yes, drill with games that you've done. Remember, LG is incredibly repetitive. On the surface some of the games may look novel, but at the end of the day they all test the same thing in a similar manner - your a…

Anyone else smell that? I smell burnout. The June test is a few months away. Since you are in the PT/BR stage, try taking a few days off. See if that helps you. There's a chance that you're feeling anxious, especially since you're so close to your i…

Save your PTs. My biggest mistake was PTing before I had a tight grasp on the fundamentals. I ended up wasting 11 precious, semi-recent tests. Until you take the LSAT and accept an offer, those PTs should be treated like gold. Once you're consistent…

I think @runiggyrun meant to say "correlation does not imply causation." Don't worry about the name, just know how to recognize it. Truth be told, for many of the flaws, their explanation is their name...I believe that is the case here. There are a…

Congrats! Contact the school and ask them who reads said emails. Explain to them that you would like to reply to the acceptance email that they sent you, and would like to know who it should be addressed to. Worst case scenario: "Dear admissions co…

Should I even say it? Awesome webinar, as always! Thanks Nicole and Corey!

The entire point of a diagnostic is to tell you where you currently stand. Taking one now that you've studied a bit would still be highly beneficial. Just because you have been studying, does not mean that there is nothing that you'll need to improv…

Awesome! Congrats. Honestly, I would apply with your current score. Given that many people report scoring 3 points below their average, a 171 official score is not terrible at all. However, you certainly can retake.
-
Awesome! Congrats and best of luck in law school.

Congrats! Best of luck in law school!

It would be in your best interest to submit an addendum explaining your story - essentially what you posted here. Whether or not a high LSAT score will make up for a low GPA depends on the school. I've heard it go both ways. However, most of the re…

Stick to the syllabus. You're not going to master any one part simply by watching the lessons and practicing with a few questions. That takes time, drilling, and particular questions types kicking your butt while you PT. Do you feel like you could …

Welcome! First thing's first...stop taking PTs! Go through the 7Sage course, then hit the PTs. You'll do great. J.Y. does an incredible job of both educating and entertaining.

If you want to imagine the future, do so. Use that to your advantage. Imagine where you'll be 5+ years from now if you bust your butt studying for the LSAT and get into a top school.

Don't try to increase "speed." Rather, aim to increase your efficiency. There's a good chance that you're spending too much time on those pesky trick questions. A buddy of mine mentioned that when he knows that he won't have time to finish reading …

@stepharizona I think you may have a bias, stephARIZONA! Kidding :]. Really looking forward to see the new rankings.
-
You're pretty much border line with many of those schools. If it helps, I know Iowo really pushes the holistic admissions approach. In any case, retaking probably wouldn't hurt you. Given your screen name, I would retake in either June or October. …

Congrats @"Nicole Hopkins" !!! Now, if you'll excuse me, I believe someone downstairs is cutting onions...
-
@Pacifico and @stepharizona pretty much covered everything. Business casual is ideal. You may also want to put a face to your application. So, if it isn't going to be a burden on the school, be sure to introduce yourself to a few people. Do resear…

Oh my! Thanks so much 7Sage crew!!! I truly do appreciate it!

I would just use your phone, assuming it has enough storage space. I don't remember where I bought it (probably eBay) but I have a "gorilla pod" type tripod that's designed to be used with most phones. Works well and I can easily adjust the angles.

A family member of mine recommended the PS trilogy. Although I do not regret buying the books, I do regret spending money and time on them. In my opinion, they over complicate the simplest of concepts. I switched from another prep company + self-s…

When you fail the sufficient, the rule falls away. In other words, assuming that just the sufficient was failed, everything to the right is now "free" - no longer bound by any rules. When you fail the necessary, the sufficient must also be failed (t…

Don't change what you're doing. That is exactly how skipping works. You skip with the intention of coming back and completing all of the questions. Have an answer for every question. In the event that even after skipping and returning to a question …
-
@nader.parham If you're goal is to increase efficiency in reading comp, then I can see reusing the passages as being somewhat helpful - albeit, not as helpful as using new passages. In the interest of not wasting precious PTs (36+), I would certainl…
-
Rule of thumb: With and or, or in a conditional statement, you contrapose by flipping, negating, and switching the "and" to an "or," or the "or" to an "and." So, for your statement: A or B --> C and D Note: The A and B can split since both…

As Allison stated, start with the games. Once you've got those down, work on LR question types that you're not doing exceptionally well on. That should bring you up to the 155+ range. For RC, read passages. That's really the only way to practice.
-
Good job!
-
Here's your mindset for all LR questions: Just answer the question. I know, it sounds like I just wasted your time. But, trust me, eventually you'll get to the point where you won't even have to think about which "method" you should use. That said,…

Semi-formal seems fair. I always wear nice khaki pants and a polo. A buddy of mine would wear something similar, but always kept a pair of dress pants and a dress shirt in his car.
