After every RC passage, after every game, after every two pages of LR (which means each time you turn the page). After a bit of practice, it becomes second nature, and provides you with a couple of breathers throughout the section.
Unfortunately, every school is different. Georgetown, for example, does not update the status checker after the application goes complete. TLS is a great place to find out information about this, especially in the What to Expect When Expecting threa…

One factor that is interesting is that I'm applying in January. My application is in, but I took the December LSAT's. It looks like UNH gave out all its bi…

I started in Summer 2015 with a diagnostic somewhere in the high 140's. My official scores are:
Oct 2015 - 163
Dec 2015 - 162
Sept 2016 - 170
Sept 2017 - 176
Two pieces of advice:
Don't expect t…

This may be silly, however I can't remember if the real test paper is thinner than the single tests available on amazon. Does anyone know if the paper is that thin delicate stuff? Also, was LSAC releasing Dec scores earl…

@Lsatkayy I think most schools will just give you a scholarship offer a few months after admitting you/right when they admit you.
I know Cornell has a merit application after you've been admitted though, but it's more …
Very realistic with your diagnostic, if you're willing to work. But if you are set on NYU, Columbia, Harvard, or Yale, I'd aim a bit higher -- in the 172-175 range.
I don't really get what kind of studying there could be for someone who was PTing at 178. I can't imagine someone with such mastery of the material would somehow forget it in a couple of months. Just keep your skills sharp with timed sections; there…
It's amazing that a thread about runny noses has become so popular. Can't wait until I get the e-mail next week about top discussions in the 7Sage forum and see that runny noses rules the roost.

When do people think they'll release the next volume?
The "Next Ten" series are generally released every 3 years or so. I'm guessing you can expect PTs 82-91 sometime sooner since th…
Different strokes for different folks, obviously. It does seem, however, that a larger percentage of test takers find that reading the question stem first is very beneficial. And from this forum, it seems that many test takers swear by liberal skipp…
Sleep is also important. Sleep deprivation, so tempting when working full-time and studying for LSAT, adversely affects one's mental, physical, and emotional health in myriad ways.

I'm aware of the irony here, but it's the first stepping stone on my path to a financially secure life in the United States.

I want to work in fashion law. My cheesy goal in high school was to make it illegal to sell things made in sweatshops in North America. So, something along those lines still, just more realistic.

There is a marked difference between schools in the ease of filling out applications. I wonder if some of the more red-tapey schools like Cornell and UVA are negatively incentivizing applicants on purpose.
I'm going to be blunt: You're clearly not ready to take the test, and it would take a miracle for that to happen in a few weeks. Taking as many timed PTs as possible is not a good strategy at this point. If you are serious about scoring to your pote…
