Hi! I've never participated in a BR Group but would love to participate on Saturday if possible! I can join at 8:15 EST, is this ok?
PLEASE JOIN US!!! Totally--we'll just be chatting and doing introductions at that point

Is it possible to record this?
Nope—sorry! BR groups have been going on for over a year and not once have we recorded them and can't start now due to licensing and other concerns.
I never took PT's in the room, but I did take the test twice in the same center and in nearly identical rooms. I was definitely extra comfortable there the second time around.
Sweetness!
Unfortunately we won't be doing any Canadian content. I know exactly nothing about Canadian schools or curriculum. While there will be some overlap as both countries are common law-oriented, once we get out of common law matters (like in…

I just found these and would really like to download them for printing but the links aren't working? Can someone fix that? @"Nicole Hopkins" @"Dillon A. Wright"

And as uncomfortable as it may be to admit, luck becomes a bigger factor the higher you score.
It is uncomfortable, isn't it—that such things may just actually be beyond our control.

I think it does matter if you get above a school's 75th percentile vs. falling between 50-75th percentile
That unequivocally matters—and it matters A LOT. That's where a one point difference can mean an admit vs a WL. But, one mus…

you'll see that you do need to be in a certain echelon (174+) to get at least a half-ride from Columbia and Chicago, to use a couple top-tier examples, and usually a little higher (176+) to have a good shot at a full ride.
Are any…

My question is: how to move from a ~170 to a 180 score?
You don't.
Or rather, you just get lucky.
I typically tell folks that you can possibly prep up to the 175 range. Anything above that is luck.
Furthermore, literally …

But then I saw your other post and it looks like it was granted for you, even though it was after previous administrations.
