@Joy_M_LSAT Sorry for the late response! To answer your question, yes. Keep repeating the game until you get every single answer correct, in or under the recommended time. Don't worry about memorizing the answers. Rather, focus on making the same i…

@lianaf92 If you're operating under the assumption that more questions missed for 170 = more difficult test (which, I believe most are), than the Dec test would be more difficult than the June test. P.S. Thanks, OP for crunching the numbers togeth…

I'm almost positive it's going to be a different test. Did they tell you why they postponed? I'd assume it may be due to weather conditions or unavailability of the testing center.

@"Cant Get Right" said: I love retakes. Of course, fresh takes have certain advantages over repeats, but repeats have their own subtle advantages over fresh takes. I find RC to be particularly useful on retakes. This is excellent advice. Retaki…

1-2. Many people will suggest 3/week. However, I find it incredibly difficult to PT and EFFECTIVELY BR/drill more than 2 tests per week. If you're PTing 3+ tests/week, don't expect to BR all 3 (more more).
-
@runiggyrun and @DumbHollywoodActor covered it all. I'm in the same boat as you, BRing high enough to be within the HSY median scores, but PTing too low to even consider applying there. Just keep PTing and figure out what it is that's hurting you. A…

99% chance that the 152 score isn't indicative of what you'll likely score on the next test. Awhile ago I score a 160 on one PT. Took 2 weeks off from PTing to focus on LG and a bit on RC. The following PT score was a 154. To no surprise, my LR scor…
-
@"Alex Divine" Solid advice. Many of us here studied/have been studying for a year or more. The majority of said individuals scored in the 168+ range. The trick to not burning out is timing your breaks properly. Don't ever say, "If I take a week off…

@desire2learn This is spot on. This is one very important thing to remember with in-out games. When they ask you for a complete and accurate list, any variable that is NOT mentioned in the provided list is a variable that is "out." Since O was not m…

I don't have much knowledge on the matter, so I'll just pass on what little I know, and have heard. If it's mentioned in your PS, I wouldn't bother mentioning it in an addendum - it's redundant. Another thing to consider is the fact that law school…

@stepharizona That's a relief! At least I know I can retake in Feb, if I have to. However, I was operating under the assumption that the OP is probably going to be apply to plenty of non-T14s.
-
Cancel, and apply with that 173.
-
@Daniel.Sieradzki Covered it well. One thing that I do want to mention, which Daniel implied, is that it doesn't matter which of the conditions you choose to be the sufficient or necessary - so long as you negate whichever you've chosen to be the su…
-
You mean via the problem sets? You're probably better off starting your PT/BR phase now. I'm almost positive that the majority of us still have a handful of unfinished pre-36 questions. Save those for drilling, if you need them.
-
The same way I review LR, but with a twist. I try to review RC immediately after PTing, since the passages are still fresh in my mind. I go through the passages with the lowest number of circled questions. I'll read the questions, and if I can answ…
-
That's a tough one. When you said "bubbled 22 out of 23" the first thought that came to mind was, "So what? It's just 1 question." However, if you mis-bubbled a bunch of questions, that could really destroy your score. How early did you skip the que…
-
@beth.flanders This. All of the problem sets can be found under their respective lessons (under "Syllabus")
-
Are you kidding me? AGAIN? Jeez, LSAC needs to stop focusing on people stealing (illegally downloading) practice tests and direct their attention towards those stealing actual tests.
-
You MUST figure out what your weaknesses are. Given your initial scores (~148) I would have to say you lack an understanding of the fundamentals. If you're consistently scoring in the 140-150 range, you need to stop wasting your PTs. Focus on learni…

Relax a little more a few days before and leading up to the exam. There's a "trick" that I used during UG to help me fall asleep in spite of pre-test day anxiety. Not sure if I'd recommend it for the LSAT, but here is what I did. 1) 2 nights before …
-
@"Cant Get Right" This. Most of J.Y.s methods will work on every question of the type they were designed for. However, many times they work better on some questions, as opposed to others of that type. You'll also notice that he's able to clearly de…
-
Pros: Less stress since you have more time to study If you put in the effort, your chance of getting a higher score increase More time to work out a better plan of attack if your current one isn't working Cons: Many schools won't accept the Februar…
-
Most schools will accept December scores for the upcoming cycle (Fall, '17). In fact, I can't think of a single school that wouldn't (if anyone can, please post here). Some schools will even accept the February exam for admission towards Fall, 2017…
-
@Kateryna This is probably the best way to go about it. Or, you can screenshot the questions, paste them into a "Paint" document, and label using the Paint tools.
-
Take some time off, then start studying again. If, come score-release day you find that you did get a 169+, great. If not, then continue studying. The more you expose yourself to LR, the more likely it'll start clicking.
-
@montaha.rizeq Read that discussion, OP! Most of the 170+ scorers here mentioned that at some point, the thought of cancelling crossed their mind.
-
@"Artak Mamikonyan" You seem to know what you're doing. Focus on your weaknesses, and you should be able to make that 5 point jump by December.
-
Regardless of whether you plan on retaking or not, I would recommend AT LEAST a 2 week break. Your brain needs time to recover from the trauma that is "LSAT." When I withdrew, back in December, I took about 2 weeks off - 1 day was spent working out…

But wait, aren't they afraid someone will screenshot the test and distribute digital copies? I joke, I joke. Can't stand digital tests...I don't understand how anyone could stare at a computer screen for longer than a few minutes and not feel like …
