Do you finish 5 minutes early? Or do you finish right on time? If it's the former then I think you just have a mental block on these questions whereby you are overestimating their difficulty. If it is the latter then whether it's conscious or not, y…

@"Mister-eeee" said: Why do exercise during break? Is that supposed to help with keeping you awake or something? Sitting for prolonged periods of time promotes lactic acid buildup in the body. Studies have shown that higher levels of lactic acid i…

The last time I sat for the LSAT sit-ups were the only authorized exercise and they had to be completed behind your desk/table with the chair pushed in and nobody is allowed to hold your feet, but YMMV.

I don't actually write anything down, but a lot of people do. If I did do this I would just open a Word document and type it in because I type way faster than I write and it's much more comfortable.

Both suggestions from @pizzaqueen are good ones. But even with those strategies, the types of mistakes you're talking about are still bound to happen to even the best test takers given a large enough number of games. Your brain usually does a good j…

No problem, good luck!

If you're using 7Sage these are both classified as Pseudo Sufficient Assumption (PSA) questions and there isn't much difference to them except where the gap exists. JY talks about PSA questions as existing along the spectrum between strengthening an…

Science passages usually aren't that hard, it's the lack of familiarity with the subject matter and certain terms that makes them intimidating and more convoluted than they need to be. Anything you can read or listen to on the topics of biology, che…

Audiobooks/podcasts for passive learning across the spectrum of subject matter. If English is not your first language then that's really one of the only times I recommend reading generally recommended materials like The Economist, Wall Street Jour…

@mes08 they haven't seen anything so you're good to go. If you're super worried about the dates just have your recommenders change them and resubmit them, but it's not a big deal. @sarkisp Many adcoms will absolutely pull your old file to see what …

Do you warm up before each test? Also, why are you taking the test at the same time if that time isn't the start time of the LSAT? I know life can be a factor in this, but to me it seems like you're trying to make your conditions almost too ideal an…

Factors in order of importance in reapplying to law school: 1) Higher LSAT 2) New PS (seriously do it, it looks super lazy if you don't, you literally had a year) 3) Update your resume and get something more significant to add to it if possible 4) …

Since PT retakes as a whole are valuable learning tools, then RC passages can be as well. I guarantee you're not going to be getting 100% right off of memory, so you'll still have to put all the work in just the same, it will just be slightly easier…

As has been mentioned above in various ways, the value is not in the scores themselves but in the value added to the learning process. Don't take them as a predictive indicator of your current level of skill/potential. Just take the scores with a gr…

Yes, or you could peek at a 10 actuals book for the imperceptibly different actual size.

Right but it's free. Most ED programs just take away your negotiating power, so if you're cool with around 200k in debt then go for it. Personally I finished UG with 90k and that shit sucked so I'm glad I'm not doing that again and when people ask f…

Is it a 50k a year boost?
-
Early decision is pretty worthless outside of NU since it gives you little if any boost and takes away all of your negotiation leverage. It never ceases to amaze me how stupid most ED setups are for law schools. 7Sage and the Trainer work incredib…

Just test out some adult diapers when you take PTs and then use whichever one works for you come test day.

I'm on my phone and out and about so I will post longer advice later but two glaring things need to be addressed. First, lose the ego. This test has nothing to do with how smart you are or how great a student you were in UG. You need to get out of …

I've only taken 3 PTs from the 60s and I've averaged around -5 or -6 but I also had some crazy circumstances and interruptions surrounding some of those PTs (e.g.- childbirth) so I don't think they were an accurate reflection of my abilities.

Usually it is one month per upgrade. And then if you need more time you can always just buy an extension separately. There is a note somewhere on the upgrades page that will explain it a bit more.

99% sure he'll tell you to clear your cache but I'm on my phone so I don't have the link to do that for you. He should be along soon.

@"Dillon A. Wright" to the rescue!

Given the way the forums are structured here I don't think this would really be the best use of anyone's time. Everything just gets lost in the shuffle because nobody checks the categories and everything is driven off of the most recent conversation…
-
It is reasonable to think that, and that is the delicate balancing act that everyone must deal with on their own to find the right equilibrium for themselves. Personally I prefer to read the passage in under 2:15 and spend 6 minutes or so on the que…

If you're not blowing bubbles throughout the experimental section then I'm sorry to tell you that your diaper game is weak bro...

Great advice here from @c.janson35 and to caveat off of his advice, you shouldn't be reading the stem again and you shouldn't be reading the ACs twice, or even once for that matter if you don't understand the stimulus. Read the stem, draw a quick …

Think about the 15 in 15 this way: On average there are 15 easy to medium difficulty questions in any given LR section, and then there are 10 harder/hardest questions. For most tests, 9 out of those 15 are going to be in first 10 questions, but that…
