@retaker2014 @NotMyName yeah good point. If OP is far away from Target range then definitely do not take. Just thinking about this now. I took in December 2016 without being ready, June of 2018 ready but underperformed, and finally July of 201…

As a retaker, I definitely think my first take helped prepare me for what's to come on my second take. I experienced a pretty significant score drop on my first test day and hit exactly my PT average the second time. I attribute that difference p…

I sit up straight on the edge of my bed and set my phone timer for 10 minutes. I like to imagine facing difficulties on a test and see myself responding to them well.

I kept mine on the desk.

I remember that question. It's tricky. Every sufficient condition is a hypothetical, though. I think what this question hinges on is identifying that the sufficient condition is in fact a conditional statement containing its own sufficient and nece…

@sx23 Have you heard from NYU by any chance? I have not and I don't have a shadow waiver from them either. Edit: Don't remember if I shared this already. Should have checked my email before replying... they said they don't provide solicited w…

@eRetaker @sx23 Thanks ya'll. I updated the spreadsheet.

I didn’t read recreationally until I was 22, but I’ll now 30 and I read a great deal since then.

@Nov2018Taker Got an email to apply to gulc, but no fee waiver. Wtf. Is that a bad sign? Nah. Not worth reading into in the least except for the fact that we're going to have to dish out the $$
-
@mew41195 did you receive a waiver from GULC during that round? If so, would you mind sharing your numbers? I was bummed to be denied a waiver from them.
-
@sx23 ah ok good to know. I just requested mine.

@"Leah M B" Not sure if you're in Texas, but I got the "Hello from a fellow Texan!" email, which is funny because I am definitely not from Texas. I thought maybe it was just about possibly receiving in-state tuition or something, but seemed very…

Texas sent out a wave of merit and residency waivers today.
-
I read the article and have a hard time believing the 30%+ boost in T14 they attribute to Sept vs Oct. In any case, you should send in your apps as soon as you can and no sooner. I'm waiting for my final LOR as patiently as I possibly can lol.
-
@"Leah M B" Also, who is applying this year from the over 30 crowd? (raises hand)
-
Even if you do t remember answers, the comfort of familiarity alone will boost your score. Retakes are useful and I had to use quite a few of them myself, but remember when scoring them that the scores are inflated. As others have said, be sure to f…

@Bamboosprout it wasn’t really a 10 point jump, I scored below my PT average in June and had a great day in July.

Pre-7Sage: 148 diagnostic (August 2016). 159 official score (December 2016) 7Sage: 164 official score (June 2018). 174 official score (July 2018).

@kimw2015 lol sorry http://www.top-law-schools.com/guide-to-fee-waivers.html

@kimw2015 I modified this template and included a little about my financial situation. Thanks!

Don't take PTs without time to review them. Your focus for this week shouldn't be learning but maintenance. Rest and drill lightly to provide the greatest chances of your best self showing up on test day.
-
But what system can I develop for not being an idiot? You can try circling/underline key terms in the question. That helps reinforce what you're actually supposed to be looking for. Slowing down is helpful too.
-
Your translation is correct. The double negatives cancel. Using Lawgic rules... Conditional Group: 2 (No) negate necessary Idea 1: H Idea 2: /A Translation: H->A or /A->/H
-
You did it once, you can do it on test day. Congrats and keep pushing that PT avg up!
-
What a feeling! Congrats!
-
@"Leah M B" I’m guessing they’ll still do the waivers, maybe will just take a bit. Didn’t realize they opened already. Also just saw the devastating news that NU ED is now $120k scholarship. Live look at me and my application strategy: LOL! I …
-
@akistotle ah sorry for the confusion. that link doesn't work for me either.
-
Execution in LG was a constant struggle for me. Three things really helped me: 1) Developing a consistent process without becoming mechanical. This reduces effort by standardizing an approach to games. Mine was: (1) Read the stimulus, rules, and sc…
-
@"Leah M B" Seems like something that would be good for us to have a spreadsheet/list of. I could start a google doc later, unless someone else wants to jump in. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/14CBJQgFgCJRi04udQTFzXS9Z4X2qBPe9OA5pyC4gE…

@akistotle Northwestern I get "503 Error This page is inactive" after I click the "JD Fee Waiver > Application" button: http://www.law.northwestern.edu/admissions/applying/ Is it just me or does everyone get the same error? It doesn…
