  • Even if you could find inference type questions, you still have to read the passage. Doesn't it just make sense to drill passages in the category that you struggle with? Most passages will have inference level questions anyway
  • Just use it as another PT. Gain as much as you can from it and try to see if there are any inconsistencies that you can clean up in the next week. It’s probably better that you scored below average because it can point out some mistakes that you wou…
  • I think you need to postpone, find a tutor, and restart the CC. It’s tough but I guarantee that you can score well above 150 if you do this.
  • Doing timed sections over and over again helps with this. You become more automatic, like a machine, over time. After a while you stop thinking so much about the fact that you are “doing a test” and become absorbed in the material. Granted I still g…
  • I think that you should try to regulate your sleep schedule and your morning routing in the week leading up to the exam. Make sure that you are eating a big meal in the morning so that you will have the energy to get through the whole test. Personal…
  • To make it simpler, we can see the argument as... "If what you're saying is true, then we would not be seeing what we're seeing. Since we are in fact seeing this thing, we have to conclude that what you are saying is not entirely true." What is sta…
  • They will have some differences but they are definitely valuable. The same fundamental skills are being tested. I'd recommend that you drill sections or question types from anything under 40, use 40-50 for section drilling and then anything above 50…
  • It can be made valid if you say, All actions are illegal or not illegal. Therefore any act is either legal or else not legal. But it's not really an argument, just a statement of fact. In LSAT world, they'll probably give you something like - "Jimm…
  • I think this one is physiological and not a superstition, but if I meditate right before a section then I feel much more confident and collected. Also, probably physiological, if I don't eat before a PT I can't concentrate. In the realm of supersti…
  • Thank you to everyone who posted, I genuinely appreciate the support and feedback from all of you. Also, I know this can be hard for some people to share so I applaud those of you who had the courage to make a post about this. Don't get me wrong, J…
  • One of my letters was from a professor that transferred schools to a different country. I expect this is fairly common practice. Also a tip for getting LOR's from a professor that you don't know super well is to ask them to write a letter that is f…
  • @"Leah M B" thank you for taking the time to share. It actually means a lot to hear from you and everyone else. I guess these feelings are pretty common. @lsatbeastmode that's an interesting take on depression. Also, I am happy with 7sage as I know…
  • This is amazing! Keep up the excellent work
  • Only take the September LSAT if you would be happy accepting the score you get in September. The strongest argument for taking in September is that it acts as a hedge for a doomsday scenario in November (fire alarm goes off during the test, you get …
  • I studied (and still am) full time while studying for the LSAT for the last year. In my experience, the best strategy is to take it little by little. Do some LSAT work early in the morning. Just enough to build on what you know but not too much, so …
  • Obviously your first priority should be the LSAT but I am guessing that you are taking the steps in that area that you need to. Just make sure when picking volunteer work that you are not prioritizing that over study time. The key to getting into No…
  • If you played D1 football then yes It can totally work. Usually sports essays are a bad idea but that's more due to the fact that they don't speak to a unique experience or characteristic. D1 definitely sets you apart from others because this is a v…
  • Quantifiers as in "some" and "most"?
  • You are not alone. This is something that we all experience. A great way to increase study time is to reward yourself with something after you finish studying. For example, if I study for an hour and a half I will reward myself by playing a video g…
  • Haha I think you're overthinking this. It only takes a few seconds to say "turn the page and start working now" it won't make a difference. I would assume that once he says "turn the page" you turn the page and by the time you look at the question h…
  • Not sure you should worry about timing your first pass through the CC in any case. Make sure that you are reaching an understanding of the question and confirming why the correct answer choice is correct. Also there’s no uniform timing in LR when co…
  • If you consider “reading philosophy books on the side” to be entertainment then yes. I don’t think that anything outside of actual LSAT passages is a reasonable replacement though. Read whatever you want outside of the LSAT but you will see by far t…
  • In my experience everyone I know has been extremely positive! I’m usually the realist that brings everyone back down to earth. A few of my friends and family have been telling me “Yale or bust” lol
  • It is definitely possible but it will depend on how much quality time you invest. Also it depends on you BR score and the strength of your fundamentals.
  • Your best bet is to score above a 168 in November. This will make you a pretty clear admit for Michigan. If you want to practice in Michigan this is the best school hands down. With a 165 you are going to be considered, given your GPA, but they will…
  • So for a 165 you need to shave off 1 point from LG, 4 points from each LR and 3 points from RC. Seeing that 8 of the total 12 points that you need to shave off are coming from LR, it seems pretty obvious that this should be your primary focus for no…
  • It sounds like you are improving! I think that a huge part of success in RC is linked to concise low resolution summaries. Once you find the balance between the details and the broad strokes, you’ll be much less reliant on returning to the passage. …
  • I’d like to know what your BR score is. This will tell us more about your potential improvement for November than your high 150’s will
  • I’d drill from older PTs untimed. Do it like a BR and really try to gain a deeper understanding of these questions. The more deeply you understand them, the less likely you are to miss them when you are doing them timed.
  • Always was hoping the best for you man, you made a big impact on the forums and i'm sure you will have a bigger one at Northwestern. You deserve this
