I think that November is the clear winner here. If you have proven that you can score above a 160 on PT's and your goal score is a 162, I see no reason that you can't get there by November. Just keep grinding and try to mitigate stress inducing fact…

Apply to schools where your score is above median, like UMinn or Notre Dame and wait until you get your November scores back to apply to T14. As this is going to be a long cycle, an app in December is not going to be late at all.

This is gonna be a long cycle, I am guessing that ED applicants will have an especially tough time this cycle. You're most likely better off retaking the LSAT and applying at above median. Also, if you are 7 points below median, 100% do not apply E…

What is the lowest rank school you’d be willing to go to? Where are you scoring currently? If you can answer those questions, I can give you some feedback regarding next steps

I think that this concern can be minimized if you film your PT's. If you see yourself making the error in real time, it legitimizes the error. You can respond to it with the expectation that it will happen again. Keep track of these errors an LSAT j…

Have you ever filmed yourself or gotten the timing for individual passages/questions? I think that reviewing RC footage is often valuable for diagnosing some obvious timing and strategy errors. RC success also comes from a strong understanding of th…

Yes, this is fine. As long as you let them know that you won't be applying until next year it is okay. Remind them that they will need to submit the summer before you apply, send them the email link a few months before you plan on sending out apps …

I started wearing a watch at all times so that I’d become accustomed to having it on my wrist.

You definitely can foolproof 1-35 in that amount of time. Just do a section a day until November and you’ll see massive improvement.

I actually don’t know very much about international student scholarships, but a higher lsat score than 175 won’t increase your chances as you are already in the 99.9th percentile and scholarships are awarded to the top students. You wouldn’t be pass…
-
175 is definitely good enough. Seeing as how HYS don’t give merit scholarships and 175 is well above all other T14 medians, you should have no problem getting $$$

I think it hinges on the necessity or importance of corroborating witnesses or evidence. The lack of corroborating evidence in this case makes it hard to prosecute, however the general trend in cases like this is going away from the need for corrobo…

It sounds like you just need more practice doing these problems. Grind out a few hours of main point questions, break down each argument into premises, sub-conclusions and main-conclusions. You'll learn these ones by doing; there's no real strategy,…

Generally you want to include at least 1 academic letter, ideally 2 academic letters. For applicants who have been out of school for some time, however, a non-academic letter is often stronger. In this case, I would recommend that you include 1 acad…
-
I have never heard of an admissions rep stating that 2 takes was bad. I am surprised that they would say that. It might just be a deterrent for students that think "so what if I score bad, I can just retake". Otherwise, admissions officers usually d…

Also, by skipping questions properly, you should be able to get to every question. Once you start skipping effectively, it gives you the flow and the confidence that you need to get to every question. For now, it sounds like you need to invest the m…
-
I skip if I don't immediately understand the stimulus. If I understand the stimulus, read through the AC's and can't nail down one AC, I skip. If I space out at any point during the stimulus, I skip. If I can't concentrate on a given question, I ski…

Try out the 7sage curriculum. I can't say much about the material that you have listed, but this curriculum is going to help you break through plateaus.
-
I found that general LR competence preceded confidence with parallel method of reasoning questions. Don't focus on timing for these at first. They can serve as a good untimed practice tool for LR.
-
Parallel flaw is the "hardest" because it generally is the most time consuming for me.
-
From my experience, the question bank is generally supplemental and not meant to me drilled all at once. If you notice a weakness in your PT's, you can use the question bank to focus on that weakness.
-
Don’t worry too much about it, A+ grades are still very rare.
-
Admissions officers have a “pile” of applications on their desk. Applications with above 75th percentile scores get pushed to the top of the pile, regardless of when they are submitted. If you score above the 75th in January, no it’s not too late. I…

No, I don’t think that this is a good excuse. When people include an addendum for GPA it usually involves an extrinsic factor. This can be a health-related issue that made you miss classes, a psychological problem or a death in the family. Something…

@"Leah M B" I generally agree with your last comment regarding BR score. The only exception I think is for those who manage to score 170+ on their first PT. In my case, I got a 149 timed diagnostic but a 170 BR score. Despite my BR score, there were…
-
First of all, I'd shoot for next September. The priority for you at this point is your GPA. It counts almost as much as the LSAT does, so don't take it for granted. If you try to study for early 2019 tests, or even June 2019, you'll have to do 100% …

It's hard to decide what counts as a fundamental skill, and what counts as a necessary skill. I think there are a lot of skills that are necessary for high scores that fall outside of the realm of the fundamentals. These would be things like skippin…
-
I know this is hard to hear, but my honest opinion is that none of these in themselves is enough. You want to focus on a fairly specific story for your PS, some experience that portrays you in a positive light. Do you have any specific stories from …

I'll be 22 k-jd. Definitely feel at a disadvantage to the folks who have real work/life experience
