BRing the whole test might sound like a good idea but I think it's a waste of time because you don't learn as much about the mistakes you can make due to confidence errors and the like. Plus there is really no need to BR the incredibly easy question…

Y'all need to chill and treat yourselves to a few White Russians...

I haven't come across a single school that actually requires them, have you?
-
It all depends on the amount of free time you have versus how much time you must dedicate to other commitments. It also depends on how stressful taking PTs is for you. If you have unlimited time and PTs are enjoyable for you then I would say 5 would…

Please don't post anonymous nonsense from TLS. Here is LSAC's policy from the horse's mouth: http://www.lsac.org/jd/diversity-in-law-school/racial-ethnic-minority-applicants As I have said previously, anyone who isn't a Caucasian white person is a …

Depends on the school. Some do a straight numbers game but others do the whole holistic thing so it's a bag of feathers on the scale. And it's not necessary to write a diversity statement about being an URM if you have a better topic for a diversity…

Not really... Evals are pretty much bullshit so don't waste your time. A half decent LOR is always better than even an eval with top ratings across the board. Plus LORs are required while Evals are not so its just some extra garbage that you're forc…

1 game/1 passage/10 random questions from an LR section is my go to when I actually do a warmup.
-
Take more PTs... You ideally want 20-30 at a minimum unless you're a 170+ diagnostic unicorn.
-
So skip ahead... There's nothing saying you have to go in order, and in fact many of us prefer to skip around.

@badgalriri said: I actually had a question about BR too so I'll just throw it in here. I'm obviously doing BR wrong, because what happens is that I go through the questions and reaffirm my initial thought process. Sometimes, I'll realize I missed …

Just be properly prepared so that after the LSAT you can finish studying as much as need be for finals. If your load is light it really can't be that bad. Just do all your work all semester and do your LSAT prep at a decent pace and you'll be fine.
-
You're most likely spending way too much time on the easiest questions, and a bit too much time on the hardest questions. You need to force yourself to move on and keep a steady pace. Circle a question you don't understand and come back to it later.…

If you BR the tests you took instead of a clean copy then you will be fighting your ego to change the answers rather than taking the time to really delve into the reasoning/argument structure and parse everything out that is necessary. Believe me, y…

I can virtually guarantee if you use the "25 previously wrong LR questions" as your 5th section and you do it first, you will think the other two LR sections on that PT are insanely easy by comparison no matter how difficult they actually are. Even …
-
Have you not taken any PTs yet? I would say 2-3 per week is the best rate for most people, but that's not really going to do much for you for October and I would highly recommend postponing until December if you're only now going to start doing PTs.
-
You're in great shape to improve, just keep plugging away on the PTs, do excellent clean test BRs, and use your analytics to point you in the right direction.
-
@nicole.hopkins why would you want a spreadsheet of all the questions I got wrong? What're you up to?
-
You really need to dive into your analytics to figure out where to focus for LR... And that -4 should really be a -1 or better before you're testing or you're just giving points away. Go back over the last five tests you took and take all the LR qu…
-
It depends on the game... If it's a shelf game or a building game with three shelves/floors or less then I like to do it vertically... If it can be interpreted more easily as just a double layer sequencing game then sometimes that can override my de…

I've never seen any stats on specific types of URMs pitted against one another. I really don't think it matters what type of URM you are as long as you are one. I know at UCLA Asian URMs are at least a plurality of not majority of the student body b…
-
You've already seen a lot of material from 1-35 from going through the curriculum so it's really best to use those for subsequent drilling to complement your PT work in 36+. Everything 36+ is guaranteed fresh at this point and that's the best way to…

BR with a clean copy or it didn't happen...

I make spreadsheets of every question I get wrong in LR and then once I reach 25 I make a new LR section to use as a fifth section and let me tell you even though I reviewed all those questions and watched the videos they are still the hardest LR se…

Ask them again?

Great birthday present to wake up to! Thanks to everyone at 7Sage for making such an awesome community!

Hmmm I feel like I've read that before.... 7Sage copy pasta?

It's not about getting to know your professors on a personal level, it's about getting to know how they grade, what they're looking for etc. Some teachers just want you to regurgitate their lectures as it relates to spotting the issues on the exams …

If you switch an answer from wrong to right you get the extra raw point for BR. If you switch from right to wrong then you lose the point on BR. So if you switch one right to wrong and another wrong to right it's a wash as far as your raw score and …
