@username_hello said: what are LRS? I think she means low resolution summaries for RC

@shegotit said: Is taking the LSAT in November considered too late? The answer is no! I’ve heard this from reputable admissions consultants. Early cycle is before November mid cycle is through December, late is anything after December

Do you all think that intensive LR training translates into RC score increases though?

I'd like to add that based on a Spivey post, the personal statement can be that one place where you don't talk about law at all. If you choose to leave it out make sure that you give them a story that demonstrates your ability to succeed in a legal…

Yeah don't score your test until after you're done with your blind review. It's super tempting and we've probably all done it but it doesn't help that much in the long run.

I'm in a really similar spot. I recently filmed myself taking a PT and found that I wasted around 8 minutes on a few questions that I got correct, but refused to move forward until I had eliminated all of the other answers. I also burned about 5 min…

@Nunuboy1994 said: What is meant by “big law?” You mean for like people that become senators and presidents? Big Law refers to law firms in large cities (namely NY, DC, LA) that have 500+ lawyers and pay $180,000+ for first year associates

For anyone who is in the same situation or is considering recording their pts on an iphone, make sure that you convert the video to a horizontal mode. If you record vertical and try to upload that way it will get all messed up. You can change from v…

It depends. I can say for sure that it doesn't make you look better by applying a second time - if you've already been accepted once. However, if you can make a compelling application that suggests that their school is the one you really want to att…

Yeah, GW is a good school. Remember that T14 schools are the elite class of schools. Generally the 20-30 ranked schools are considered good schools. Whether it's the right school for your personal goals is a more apt questions to ask. If you want t…

With a -5 RC, you should see it as a great opportunity to improve. You can probably drop LG to a consistent -2 or better before July but probably can only net a few LR points by then. In my opinion, if you can move from -17 to -14 in LR and -7 to -2…

For tier 2 it won't matter even a little bit.

All of this is really good advice. I'd be happy to take a look at your resume if you'd like

According to the required ABA employment disclosure for 2017, 63% of Buffalo law grads secure a job requiring bar passage. Paying sticker at a school where employment outcomes are this uncertain seems to me an unwise decision. That being said, I d…

Part of the goal of a personal statement is to elucidate the rest of your application. If nowhere else does it indicate an interest in law, omitting such an interest from your personal statement might be a mistake. More importantly, try to ensure t…

@"paulmv.benthem" @ebalde1234 @keets993 @eRetaker Thank you all for your feedback and for being so encouraging As some of you recommend, I'm going to film myself taking PT 47 today. I hope that it reveals some useful information!

Make flashcards, review the lesson every once in a while - build this into your daily routine. Exposure and repetition are often the best ways for us to commit these fundamentals to memory.

@btownsquee said: 2-3 hours for me. It takes me multiple days to BR an exam. Most sages recommend that you finish your BR for a given PT within 24 hours of taking the PT.

I'm terrible at RC and I usually spend like an hour BRing it. My avg BR for the section is -3/-4

Fool-proofing LG took me about 2 months. You can definitely go faster but life got in the way of my 1 month timeline.

If your goal is Chicago Big Law, anything below T14 is gonna be a stretch. At a 3.0 GPA you'll probably need a 172+ to be considered at most schools. In that case, continue studying - postpone even - until you feel you are able to score above a 172…

Is this your first PT ever or is this your first post-CC PT?
-
I recommend that you do every one of the flaw problem sets in the CC. Go through them slowly, write out explanations if necessary and get to 100% certainty for each one. I am guessing you'll see improvement if you do this.

The University of Miami employment outcomes are not horrible, not great either. About 75% of graduates get jobs as lawyers after graduation. Among those, 76% stay in Florida. If you want to practice law in a small-mid sized firm in Florida, there's …

It’s not a thread, but the post-cc webinar goes over filming yourself. I think the words that he uses are “be creative” with your setup. If you don’t want to watch the whole thing, I believe that when he talked about this he told everyone to “get an…

We don’t have enough information to say “take the GRE” yet. It’s just too risky. The LSAT is a winnable, tried and true method for admission at top schools.

Haven’t seen anyone say Abraham Lincoln yet. He’s at the top of my list.

Hey, so I’m just about one step ahead of you. I’m almost done fool-proofing logic games 1-35. It’s important that you fool-proof LG first so that you’re not wasting time in your PT stage thinking about that section. You just have to put the time in …
