@"distasio.madeline" What helps me is looking at it like a challenge This helps me too. I really approach it like a game or puzzle. I am not so competitive with others as much as I am with myself. I HATE walking away from a puzzle that I could…

I will be a retaker this year. When I look back on my first first round of preparation, it was a superficial approach without much comprehension of the underlying principles. I didn't BR (didn't even know what it was) and I just figured "If I keep …

Definitely agree with @"Alex Divine" . Guard that 4.0 and put your best foot forward at that attorney's office. I can't imagine you will have enough time to study in a meaningful way with those other commitments in the fall. Do what you can this sum…

I can absolutely relate! The feeling you describe has come to me several times during my prep. The worst of it was last year leading up to my first take. I wasn't preparing well -- just taking PT after PT -- but i was working really hard. I couldn't…

I started out in the 140s too. I would venture to say that a decrease is probably the combination of (1) possessing more information about the test like Lawgic, tactics, question types, etc and (2) not being comfortable deploying this info appropria…

Thanks for sharing. Looks interesting in it's own right!

Hi lizpil! You're not alone. LG has always been my weakest area. When I first started studying, I was missing around -16 under timed conditions. Now I miss between 4-6 after having foolproofed a nice chunk of PTs 1-35. I think my experience is fairl…

@JDtobeeee What is your target score, by the way?

I think doing ~3.5 hours of lesson/day, I finished the (Ultimate +) CC in just shy of 2.5 months.That did NOT include fool proofing. It DID, however, include all the problem sets / video review though. This was my experience as well. I also be…

UPDATE The double-barrel palomino blackwing sharpener lives up to the hype. The difference I see between the Staedtler Noricas and my Tri Blacks is that the latter write darker and sharpen better. The eraser also works better (I know I shouldn't bu…

Another issue is making sure you truly understand the ideas behind necessity and sufficiency and what how they logically work. This was the key for me. I spent a lot of time in the CC going over logical arguments, diagramming logic for question…

What about financial aid? I assume there is no prospect of financial aid for the higher ranked school one would transfer to... correct?

@LSAT2017123 I am in a similar position. Graduated UG in 2012, worked until 2016, travelled for 6 months, then began studying and working part time. I did just what @"david.busis" suggest regarding former professors. My professor did remember me an…

No surprises here! Welcome, ya'll!

I believe you can also request a "grading by hand". That may make sense your case if the machine does have difficulty reading it.

: I don't define diversity for you, you write about your diverse experience." Short to say is you get to write about what you think is distinct/unique about yourself. The officers do not limit you. You can only limit yourself. I really like tha…

hahaha! i'm enjoying this thread so much. This writing sample sounds a hell of a lot more interesting than mine was last year.

I just had to learn why we use a standard grouping diagram vs a grouping chart, so I might as well add it in. Standard grouping games are more restricted. Game pieces can't go in more than 1 category. That goes for the highly restricted in/out game…
-
Then what about the negation...? Am I thinking correctly? Ah I see the path you took to get there. You are definitely on the right track, except we don't need to negate both of those statements to reach a negation and in fact, when we do negate…
-
are you starting to notice that a lot of the games repeat inferences. The most important aspect of fool proofing, shared by @"Alex Divine" . The idea behind fool proofing is that we brute force inferences, strategies, game setups, etc into our …

PT average of 165-167 would put you at the low end of the median LSAT scores of incoming T14 students. If your GPA is super high, making you a splitter, maybe you've got a shot if you score the upper end of your average. Many people see a drop on te…

MIC DROP @"Cant Get Right"

Does this likely mean that I won't be ready in time for the September sitting? That will depend on a bunch of factors like what you are scoring in the remaining sections (and how many PTs you've taken to establish a reliable baseline), your tar…
-
It took about 6 weeks to fool proof the bundle? @"Alex Divine" nah man lol I'm on PT 24 and I haven't technically met my personal bar of "fool proof" for the each game I've seen so far. In order for me to mark a game full-proofed, I need to com…

Are you referring to these: https://www.amazon.com/Staedtler-Norica-Woodcased-Pencils-Black/dp/B00HK8TSCG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1497051036&sr=8-2&keywords=norica yup!

Check the admission ticket. Pretty sure it can go in your ziplock bag.

Despite the panic of not feeling your phone in your pocket, leave that sucker in the car. Also, before you leave the house quadruple check you have everything you need and nothing you don't. If you drive there, quadruple check again before leave you…

This was a major flaw in my previous approach. I wanted 100% confidence on each question. But that's totally inefficient considering the time restraint. I was never able to finish an LR section because of that approach and I never learned to trust m…

After wrestling with my $0.99 sharpener from Walgreens for the past 10 minutes, I have given in to a full makeover... Then I switched to Staedtler's Norica's HB 2's with the Palomino Blackwing sharpener, and I must say, I AM IN LOVE WITH THESE P…
