Yeah I see no good reason to include an unfinished degree in your resume. The only thing that is a problem of not including it is the gap in the resume of however long it took you to do that. You may have to include it for that reason so that it doe…

Try to avoid the ones that you found really challenging. The return on investment for the ones that you totally don't understand is lower than ones that you skipped because you couldn't decide between two AC's. I recommend working with a tutor to h…

Generally you should ask permission from the professor to use the letter after a year but they almost always will say yes.
-
It would be better to e-mail them initially. You want to give them some space at first so that they can take their own time to respond. Professors get these things all the time. So don't worry if you took their class a long time ago. A piece of adv…

Also I should add that admissions officers usually weight these very low on the list. It's seen as a requirement that you have two professors that will write you a recommendation, but the content of a letter isn't going to make a difference in your …

Admissions officers will always tell you to get the letter from the person who knew you the best. They'd rather get a letter from a TA who has great things to say than the Nobel prize winner who barely knew you. In your case, getting the generic le…

I think that the Socratic method has some interesting applications but mostly it exists because it's fun for the professor. Teaching in this way is far easier and far less repetitive than conventional lecturing. Not an expert but that's my two cents…

@Gunningfor121 I have heard of people doing very well with 8 games a day and others with 2 games a day. I think that four a day 6 days a week is what someone should shoot for so that Fool Proofing only lasts around a month and a half. Obviously you …

@lawhopeful_13 my best piece of advice for LR is, push your BR toward -0 and the timing and section strategy will fall into place with much less effort. As long as you have a strong fundamental understanding of the test, regardless of time, you have…

If this is your last semester of University, when do you want to apply to law school? I am assuming that you want to apply to begin law school in 2019. It's a bit late to start studying, however if your only goal is to score above 160 it might be po…

I personally think that the inclusion of the writing portion is distracting to the purpose of the test, and frankly it's a waste of time. I'm not sure why they don't just remove the written part altogether.
-
I personally think that the 10 games thing is a little excessive. You should be able to finish under time after the 3rd or 4th attempt if you are really trying. I'd definitely say that after 4 attempts on a single game you should put it aside for th…

I think you need to be honest with yourself. Ask what you are doing differently than before. Just because you are focusing on the test is not enough. Your method has to be excellent if you want to improve a lot in a short amount of time. It makes t…

I’d recommend not drilling logic games by type. On the actual test, a big part of the challenge is knowing what type of board you should use. After fool-proofing a long time, the only games that give me trouble are ones with unconventional or confus…
-
I advise anyone in a plateau to find a tutor. They are going to be better at diagnosing your problems for RC by working closely with you and by understanding your methodology.
-
I think by PT 32 I felt pretty good. Then I transitioned to section drilling and had to put everything back together again. It takes a long time. The fool-proof method does work but it took me more than a month of daily studying to get to a reasonab…

You could volunteer for a few non-profits that you support and take some personal time to accomplish a life-long goal. If I had the extra time i'd write a novel and work as a volunteer at one of my local organizations.
-
If you haven't already, film yourself taking a PT and check your timing. You might just be having some issues with overconfidence. The LSAT loves to put trap answer choices in the first 10 questions. It might be an easy question but if you misread a…
-
The simple answer is that you take as much time as you need. During the test, you should mark the questions that you feel unsure about or that were exceptionally difficult. These questions are the only ones that you should go back to in your BR. But…

I recommend getting the starter pack from 7sage. It will walk you through the whole process. You don't want to waste time going down the wrong path or building any bad habits.

@"surfy surf" OP shouldn't worry about it at this point but I was replying to Broccoli's question. The truth is that multiple takes do matter, most admissions officers will tell you that scores that fall significantly below their medians (150's or 1…
-
I'm pretty sure that they can't see this. I've been told that you should only notify a school that you are retaking if your numbers fall below their 50th percentile. Otherwise schools might think that you are not serious about attending, or that the…
-
It sounds like you are probably a very strong LG scorer, and that you are efficient with your time in both LR and RC. You probably have a good understanding of the test overall and you have a solid foundation for those skills. In spite of this stron…

@Broccoli180 said: Really? I thought how many times you take doesn't really matter cause they only consider highest score It does and it doesn't. Top law schools generally don't care about one or even two retakes as long as they are both abo…

How much time do you have at the end of the section? Usually when I answer something really fast and then move on, I will put a dash through the number of the question and come back to it if there is any time at the end to make sure that my AC is co…

I personally don't understand how or why people study with music on, for me it's perfect silence. Occasionally i'll put on room ambience with shuffling of papers, sniffling or footsteps just because that's what the test is going to be like.
-
I think a good mark for you would be -3 LR, -5 RC, -2 LG. If you can get there by September, take the test. If you can't just cancel and continue to study for November.
-
I agree with Alex. A tutor can help solve this issue on a more personal level. They can get expensive over time but it pays for itself.
-
This seems like a good list. You might benefit from doing confidence drills, and some un-timed section drills. You want to find out where you are spending too much time and where you are rushing when you ought to be more discerning.
