@StopLawying Everyone learns at their own pace. It's hard to give you a straight answer. I can tell you from my own personal experience that I have been studying since late December and I only recently jumped up from the low 160s (161-163) to the…

The average doesn't tell the whole picture. It's more likely that people who were initially scoring in the 140/150 range see an increase of 10+ points (maybe even 15), while those who were scoring in the high 160/low 170s range only increase a few …

I think it depends on how your friend uses the time. If he uses the extra time tools down and comprehend what he's reading, than I think that his score will surely improve. The majority of mistakes test-takers make are due to careless mistakes (mi…

@Patroclus It is the exact opposite, I believe. The stimulus does not assert that students will be able to make their own decisions IF teachers make their own decisions in the classroom. What the stimulus is saying, however, is that students can't…

@guitarnara It sounds to me like you need to do more drilling and less PTs. There are only a finite amount of PTs and, taking them when you are not prepared is a complete waste of precious material. Watch the LR videos again and use the Cambridge …

You need to change your approach to how you attack questions. Have you read The Trainer? If not, please do so. It has worked wonders for me.

@7sagelsatstudent180 @Pacifico LR tests how you think-- your ability to reason and evaluate arguments. That's why it's imperative that you take new exams, and not recycle previously taken exams. Every LSAT tests you on the same thing. They are …

I took PT 51 and scored a 169! My highest score thus far. I felt like I understood the entire exam. I like the new exams a whole lot better than the old ones. I usually get -13/14 on the LR sections, but I only got 5 wrong on 51 (and 9 wrong on …

@7sagelsatstudent180 Truthfully, I am skeptical about the effectiveness of your plan. You will most certainly remember the answers to the questions; therefore, even if you analyze each question and look for ways in which answers are correct and in…

It depends what kind of school you want to go to. If your mind is set on a T14, it will depend on your GPA. With a 3.9+ a 165+ should get you into the lower T14, while a 170+ will get you into Penn, NYU, etc..If your GPA is below a 3.8, however, a…

@amanda_kw I'm taking 2 tests per week, and I will be taking PT 74 and 75 the week before the exam, so I should be set. The wording is much clearer and it feels a lot more natural. I just got so used to the convoluted nature of the older exams, so…

@amanda_kw @nicole.hopkins @ddakjiking @Pacifico @"Nilesh S" @emli1000 Surprisingly I scored a 164 (BR-176). Thanks for the advice. I guess the exam isn't harder, just different. In fact, after BR I found the exam to be easier than the old e…

Did you guys see a substantial drop in your PT scores? I'm currently stuck in the low to mid 160s, but I'm pretty sure I scored in the 150s on this PT, which is horrifying to even think about. If I have trouble on the newer PTs, will my scores eve…

Great. Of course.

@ashley3460 "my goal was to have my score investigated by the LSAC because it increased so much." ^Amen to that
-
@nicole.hopkins Wednesday is impossible for me until September. Let me know what the group's consensus is.
-
Lol at @pseudonymous. I just binged all three of the movies on Thursday.

It's simply a writing sample. While it is not graded, law schools have the ability to see whether you wrote something meaningful or left the page blank. You should take it when you are ready. There is not a set amount of time. It varies from per…

@Lumpkinmd I would recommend 7sage and The LSAT Trainer by Mike Kim for starters. After you learn the fundamentals, Cambridge Drilling Packets will come in handy.
-
I think you should take the test tomorrow and cancel the score after. That way you can get a feel for how test day will feel like (you can measure how much anxiety you get on the actual LSAT).
-
@nicole.hopkins Is there any way that we can have the BR group on Tuesday nights instead of Wednesday, or is Wednesday the only day that works for everybody else?
-
@hj060815 It depends where you live. I registered for Pace because I'm accustomed to taking the 4,5 and 6 train, and I don't want to go to LIC. I also heard good things about the test center.
-
@"B.L. Walsh" First and foremost I would like to congratulate you on your impressive accomplishment. If it's not too much trouble, would you mind telling us how you improved from the lower 160s to consistently scoring 175+? I'm currently scoring …
-
@nicole.hopkins I think starting in the 40s is better because that way we can BR two tests a week and finish PT 74 and 75 the week before the exam. @ddakjiking Hopefully there will be no need for another retake. 7sage has provided you with the to…

Biglaw isn't unrealistic coming from a regional school; however, those jobs are reserved for the exceptional students that manage to be in the top 5-10% of the class. T14 schools send more than half of their graduates to large firms, and many more …

@agathamelanie I personally split up game boards every time it says "H will be in slot 1 or 7" because it enables me to draw inferences on other variables' limitations. That way when I encounter a "which of the following cannot be in slot 6" quest…
-
@agathamelanie I suggest focusing on reasoning structure and not spending too much time on specific details. 85% of RC questions test you on reasoning structure, and the other questions tell you which paragraph or line(s) where it is drawing infor…

@jyang72 On BR I read the passage again and write down the author's assertions and argument on a separate piece of paper. I always make sure to write down his reaction towards the critics, such as how strongly he/she agrees or disagrees with them …
