I'm not sure that you need to do LG every day. I am at PT30 in my fool-proof journey and I still feel like i'm not as strong as I expected by this point. I'm gonna go back and do all of the games as sections and then review the games that trip me up…

All that anxiety and whatever is your brains way of telling you that you will feel even worse on test day, if you don't study hard enough. So use it as a motivator.
I agree with the principle here. Be sure to have a positive …

Good call! You'll probably get what you want with a 173, but if not, an extra year of work experience never hurt anyone in this crazy admissions game. I might be a Yale re-applicant this cycle (I'm retaking a 172 after a reject…
I think that for those of us with the luxury to study this exam 4+ hours a day, the 4-5 hour per-day mark is solid. I also agree that you need at least 1 day off, but two days might be too much per week. I think over the next month or so you can sel…
The disappointment is hard. The frustrating thing about this test is that you can finish something like the CC, feel really good about yourself, and take a PT to find less progress than you hoped for. It's important that during the process we are ho…
I agree with what is stated above. I think that for many of us, the first impulse (with no training) is to work slowly and methodically through the section. Unfortunately, this method doesn't work because you simply run out of time. Eventually we re…
4 hours a day is a maximum for me. Even if I feel like I can do more, I cut it off at 4 hours. I am taking in September, however, so that changes my attack window. I think that we would all have a better sense of what you can be spending your time o…
I know that there are several people on 7sage who want to pursue JD and MBA degrees simultaneously.
Why are you interested in getting a JD and a Masters at the same time?
Try your best to be ready for September without burning out. Getting those applications in by October is important. Even though December applications won't hurt you too much, October is much better.
That being said, if the PT average of the last 3 …

The word "without" is a "group 3" word, meaning that you take the two terms: No crime and law. You set them in any order, in this case No crime----> Law. Our group 3 condition tells us to negate the sufficient condition. In this case,…

For number one, you need the "/" on both items be…
From what I hear, it doesn't hurt to stay fresh. Probably do some light studying and rotate around sections from day to day. Definitely don't overdo it but it's a good idea to keep up with those skills in case you need them again.

So I took the LSAT last Monday, and I am fairly confident I got the score I wanted. I thought I would be able to relax once the test was over, but I seem to be just as anxious as ever, if not more. At this point I don't k…

@"Freddie Mercurys Mustache" Thank you so much for your insight! I agree that it is important to have a higher ranking in law school, which may be more difficult with the students in T14. Do you think if someone was to …
Wait until after the CC to take PT's.
Inevitably, part of the PT process is to become comfortable with the timing of the test and to become comfortable with the length of the test. What is more important than these, however, is the content of the t…
I think that having to reread the stimulus is different from the strategy for a given question type. It just sounds like you need to devote more time to the LR section. Once you get more exposure you’ll be able to see patterns in LR and it will make…

I'd also like to add that high stakes aren't the cause of unhappiness or a void of meaning, but rather a sense of autonomy and connectedness are what provide these things. Part of the reason that Big Law associates are so depressed is because their …

Suffer now so you can live like a king later. Also I actually read that trial lawyers are the most depressed lawyers. Think about it, losing a case can mean a life sentence for the person you are defending. The stakes…
People with work experience have an advantage over people who just graduated. I'm 21 and my resume is the weakest part of my application. If I want to get into a good school I have to overcome that part of my application. An older applicant, however…
Don't assume that you'll have to cancel. If you feel like cancelling again, it's not the end of the world. It might be better to just keep whatever score you get, though. Jury is still out on that one.
Big Law is not the only answer to loan repayment. Find out what the loan repayment process is like at any given school before you consider attending with a substantial amount of student loans. Some allow for a good standard of living, even if you ma…
Are you talking about a direct contradiction?
Like: Author states that all bananas are fruit.... then later concludes that it must not be the case that bananas are fruit.
I'm sure these books are great! Unfortunately, many of us have a finite amount of time to study for the LSAT each day and it might be difficult to read 3 complicated books on top of all the other LSAT stuff that we're doing. I think that the fundame…
If you study for this test for an entire year and you genuinely believe that you've invested the effort and time that is necessary to do well on the test and you still do poorly you are faced with two options. Wait two years until you try the LSAT a…
