It's a plus for sure. It suggests to the admissions officers that you are more than capable of doing graduate-level work. Since your UGPA is the only one calculated by the LSAC, your masters GPA will only be a "soft" factor, that is, one that is eva…

@Ohnoeshalpme seems like the returns are slim for someone who doesn’t grasp it .. time better spent on na / sa type perhaps
Generally speaking, yes. Obviously the strategies for a student aiming for a 160 are going to be di…

You should not skip a PR question
I think this prescription is too strong. In my case, I've found that I save much more time in a section by skipping these questions immediately on principle and then returning to them onc…

I actually regret not studying the LSAT more in my junior year. A year ago, I expected that I’d be more than ready for the September exam. I was definitely wrong. Now that September is looming right around the corner, my lax study schedule has left …

Sept-Oct is early, Nov-Dec is middle, Jan+ is late. You have the best chance in September, about 15% better odds (with same stats) than a student who applies after January, maybe a few percent better than November/December.
I wouldn’t worry about erasing as long as it’s faster than scribbling something out. Like if you have a game with a chart, then redrawing the chart is probably gonna take longer than erasing one error, for example.
I’m not totally against fool-proofing RC right now. Just like LG, RC is highly, highly repetitive. Redoing RC passages that give you difficulty will help to elucidate the internal structure in the passage, and give useful feedback for the structure …
There are a lot of good reasons a person might have for waiting a cycle. People who ask this probably just want to make sure that you have a plan. Just give them a detailed explanation and they will support you

@Ohnoeshalpme Thank you!! That makes perfect sense and you are so right...I have been looking at it wrong. I also know that if I think about waiting until say next summer, I will have the mentality of just pushing prep …
You’re in a great spot. Instead of having the mentality of “I need to take the LSAT in x month because I apply in y month” (like most students) you can take the necessary amount of time to prepare.
I’d study as though the next test deadline is the …

Should we rule out pts 50 and below for rc ?
I have this same question - for any RC experts out there
I can't imagine that PTs 1-50 aren't useful, however. They are fundamentally similar to the new stuff, even if they are…

Yeah, I mentioned this previously as well. I think most people consider LG the easiest to improve because they spend the most time improving it. Consider this. How many people have you heard fool-proof RC? Also people can check…

I've noticed that two things have consistently correlated with how well I do on any particular RC passage:
1) Whether I'm intuitively engaged with the topic being discussed (I historically perform better on non…

I'd like to throw in some strategy advice for you: apply to schools where the 169 is at or above median on their first day that they accept applications in September. You can always retake and notify them of a score increase later. In case you don't…

You definitely have a shot, you'll have to provide the LSAC proof that your undergraduate school considers those W's non-punitive. I have heard of people, for example, getting a dean's approval and sending that to LSAC. In any case, check with your …

Be consistent in your approach. You should be testing at the same time of day under the same circumstances every time.
Also, meditation, exercise and diet are all things that you can incorporate into your routine to shore up inconsistencies.
I think that admissions officers will doubt your ability to commit to a lengthy rigorous academic routine. You have to impress upon them your commitment to law school. Convince them that this is not another temporary pursuit.
I've heard great things about the full-admission course at 7sage. Another great service in that area is Spivey. I don't want to take away from the 7sage service because I trust it and believe in it, but either one of these services will guide you th…
