Chances are you'll end up scoring a 155+ on one or two PTs. Is that enough to justify sitting the test in September? Absolutely not.

@"Cant Get Right" This is probably the best advice you're going to get regarding this matter (sorry, Josh, I think I've been quoting you all morning). Out of curiosity, what is your target school? My advice has always been not to bother registering …

Your PT score is essentially what you can expect to get, +-3 on the official test. As @"Cant Get Right" mentioned some time ago, your BR score is what you can potentially score with more practice. If you feel comfortable with the core curriculum, a…

Everyone here pretty much covered what BR is. The way I see it, it's essentially an untimed, full-length PT. The steps are quite simple: 1) Take your PT 2) As you're taking a PT, circle questions that you have either: A) Didn't answer, Guessed on, …

@"Cant Get Right" Pretty much covered it all! Don't expect your highest PT score to be your likely official score. Ideally, you want to score at or above your target score at least a few times (5-10) prior to taking the actual test. That said, with …

If your primary concern is your LG score decreasing, than keep drilling the games. Focus your attention on LG, but don't neglect LR and RC.
-
Probably a little of both. I'm assuming you did the earlier ones first, and are just now doing the more recent ones. If that's the case, your ability to see and utilize inferences has probably improved.

If you're choosing between a LOR from a HS instructor and one from an employer, go with the latter. Ideally, you would want to get another from a college professor. If that isn't an option, a LOR from an employer should be fine.

Welcome to your first dose of LSAT-induced burn out...let's hope it doesn't strike again. When it comes to the LSAT, preventative medicine trumps curative medicine. In the future, if you feel that you're about to burn out, stop studying, and take a…

The best way to improve your RC score is to practice using real RC passages. I would go as far as to say that you're better off rereading RC passages that you read in the past, as opposed to reading random articles. RC tests your ability to read li…

@"Dillon A. Wright" Thanks for the correction! I think I was mistaking the "free lessons" for the "core curriculum"
-
So to clarify, you understand how lawgic works/looks, but don't know how to utilize it for SA questions (sorry, I didn't exactly understand the question)? If that's the case, I would review the lawgic lessons and go through the drills that J.Y. pro…
-
Selfie works, but I took the passport photo route. Just remember that the picture should show how you'll look on test day (glasses, facial hair, etc.).
-
@"Cant Get Right" given the PDF band, this method is probably the most ideal. If you have paper-copies, you can scan the pages that contain the question(s), cut them out, and use them like you would flashcards. I would't recommend said method...but …
-
First off, good call postponing your test. Second, don't freak out, it happens. What exactly is the reason why you think your score dropped? Was it a timing issue? Were you having trouble with a particular question type? Did you lose a good chunk o…
-
The reason why you can't find any solid answers is simply because the answer is "however many you need" . Here's my rule of thumb: Unless I can utilize J.Y.s methods for said question type, and see how the skills operate to get me to the right answ…
-
@sison.bonifacio Glad it worked out for you!
-
I see J.Y.s memory method as more of a training tool, designed to get you accustomed to RC. The Trainer and Nicole offer incredible advice (as does J.Y.) when it comes to RC. At the end of the day, you want to focus on the main point of the passage,…

Everyone should listen to this (wo)man. I wish I knew about 7Sage 2 years ago...that would have saved me well over $2k!
-
First, the answer to your last question is a simple yes. They are worth it, especially when you come to a question that you missed both initially and during BR. It's nice to hear the explanation from another individuals point of view. - Am I allow…
-
Yes, it's under Misc. @"Alex Divine" is correct as well, although that particular question type does appear on the LSAT, you don't see it as often as many of the other questions. In fact, I don't think it appeared on any of the last 3 PTs that I too…
-
The question isn't whether you should reduce your time or not (the answer to that is, you NEED to reduce your time. 11:30 per passage is far too much time). The question is, why are you spending so much time on the passage? 5:00 per set of questions…
-
Haha wait a minute, I never told buzzfeed that they could post a timeline of my life over the last year.
-
Does anyone know if @Pacifico 's meditation webinar is posted here? I think it is. OP, you would probably benefit from watching and utilizing the techniques mentioned. Try relaxing. Remember that the only difference between test day and your PTs is…
-
The difference between older games and newer ones seems to be somewhat trivial. All games primarily test one thing, your ability to spot and utilize inferences. If you can do that on the older games, you can certainly do it on the newer ones. Oh, a…

Are you uploading them for others to see? Or for your own personal benefit (e.g. viewing them later)? If the former, go to a local coffee shop or university and upload there. If the latter, consider investing in an inexpensive external hard drive. I…

Normally I would suggest studying as much as possible, since the September administration is just around the corner. However, risking burnout is not an option, at least not this close to the test. Try taking a day or two off...maybe even 3. Do some…

None of us here are doctors (at least, I'm assuming that no one here is a doctor), so we can't offer you medical advice. Speak with your GP and ask her/him to refer you to a specialist. You may need to speak with a psychiatrist. A friend of mine su…

I've applied for a few internships at local firms. None of them asked me for my transcript. The interview process was identical to yours, "What are your grades? Volunteer work? Okay...sounds good." Even if you do end up having to hand over your tran…
