  • @amanda_kw So see if these errors fall in any particular pattern... this is best done by tracking them... you could do this via an excel doc... then drill those question types... if you're still getting it wrong on BR then the issue could be that yo…
  • Lol @"Dillon A. Wright" it was actually me telling @emli1000 that I used "he/him" pronouns
  • @"Dillon A. Wright" umm actually I use "he/his" ; Sorry - my bad if it seemed the other way :P
  • Before that I was getting like 18 or 19 right... and after that, it never dropped below 22 and was closer to 24 - 26 except for the actual exam when it dropped to 20 because I RAN out of time and missed one full 7 question passage...
  • Yes they are new passages and the guide REALLY helps out.. it gives you a system to approach the RC... how to create a structure... what to look for in a passage all of that kind of stuff... also how to rule out some answers and how to zone in on ot…
  • 1) Pitfalls - I'm a bit of a nervous wreck and have insecurities about the future... I also suffer from chronic depression... so every time I used to not understand a concept or my scores used to oscillate.. I used to over-analyse and go into a shel…

  • I found 14 as easy though... arbitrary essentially means "based on random choice or personal whim, rather than any reason or system" - C) is correct because if "democratic governments appeal to moral principles in effecting compromises between thos…
  • @alexroark5 I also cut it down later on... but that was way into my prep...
  • @A_Iheduru23 Alright.... so question 10 basically asks why it is flawed that the Athenians thought themselves overly inclined to allow people to escape the punishment they deserved in the name of misguided mercy: I'm going to go over the WRONG answe…
  • If that isn't time consuming enough... I used to BR and then had a note book in which I posted cut out copies of all the questions that I got wrong from extra copies sets... this was a huge waste of paper... (well I used to recycle the scraps) any I…
  • Or the distribution could be anywhere in between
  • If anything, it might be a correlation... and even then, not that... given that these are the pencils that sell most for the LSAT, there are chances that those people who purchase these pencils get more 180s than those who do not... but it could als…
  • They may be willing to negotiate if someone plays one offer against another... there are people who got increases in money all the way into June last cycle... but admittedly it gets harder as the purse shrinks
  • Yeah... you're going to need to provide a little more detail... with answers to all the questions above... because at this point of time the best advice available for anyone on the forum will be extremely general in nature... you know : drill questi…
  • Yeah my ex-roomie did Kaplan... their explanations were unclear and in some cases outright faulty... I tried to get him to switch to 7sage but he wouldn't listen... he didn't do well on the exam. Also they apparently make up questions (this I do not…

  • @christopherblair which sport? I used to swim competitively when I was younger but a back injury put an end to that !!!
  • @nicole.hopkins hardcore!!! Slow clap... #respect !!! I guess I'll spill the beans on my schedule as well. I spend an a little over hour at from 7:30 - 8:45 in the morning - on the days that I'm not lifting I'm doing cardio... 30 min treadmill 10 mi…
  • so sometimes Lawgic will apply directly, sometimes not... sometimes it won't be sufficiency necessity, but rather causation... sometimes truth-validity... sometimes some-most-all, but it will apply... formal Lawgic is just one of the tools on the LS…
  • try do something during lunch break... maybe cook all your meals on a particular day and leave them in the fridge.... I typically do that (though for workout reasons so that I have 6 odd meals a day... but it saves time)... cook everything on a Sund…
  • you do it over a period of a couple of days I think... JY says do 7 - 8 times on a particular day and a couple of times the next day to ensure that you have it down... @jdawg113 @blah170blah @emli1000 @nicole.hopkins @ddakjiking is that it? I know t…
  • I know.. just couldn't pass over the chance to have some fun
  • @emli1000 No... no you're not... that would probably be a tree... Elm, Pine, Birch... the like... ... Sorry I know its a groan-worthy one... but I really couldn't help it!!!
  • Lol I'm guessing that's you @emli1000
  • @nicole.hopkins in this case I'm sure its the former rather than the latter and yes it is too cool for law school... thought they do have a very strong fellowship in Law and Public Affairs where people come after they've established themselves... I…
  • Dear Prof. X, I write to you to follow up about the status of the reference letter that I had requested from you. I just looked up my LSAC account and it shows that said letter has not yet been received. I apologize for bothering you but I would be …
