  • Skip around, don't wait until the week before the October LSAT to take 70+ because it will likely be demoralizing as most people report 5-10 point drops in their scores and you don't need that stress right before the real thing. If you can mix a few…
  • I started with 7Sage and it really is the gold standard for LG. The LR is great as well and while I think their RC is a bit lacking since their approach didn't really apply to my particular needs, I think that their LR stuff really pays dividends fo…
  • Need more information. Have you taken a diagnostic? If so, what was your score? Are you using 7Sage or just the Trainer? How much time do you actually have to study? What other resources do you have (e.g.- drilling materials, PTs, etc.)? You can hi…
  • This might all sound a bit harsh but it is not intended as such. First of all you need to relax. There's no reason you have to take the October test. Stop wasting PTs immediately and go through the full curriculum. Read pretty much anything you can …
  • I would agree with you but methinks Baylor would beg to differ hahah
  • Once again @c.janson35 is absolutely correct. To illustrate his point you could have five LORs and you could rank them 1-5 by your preference and name them accordingly so you know that the best ones are going out first. Or you might have two general…
  • Don't take any PTs until you finish the entire curriculum or else you'll definitely be wasting them by not having your toolbox full of all the skills you need. Don't worry about getting to every single one before October. Let your prep determine whe…
  • @c.janson35 nailed it with his first sentence. Only a handful of schools really like the targeted letters enough to make a difference anyways so it's not going to be that big a deal and it's definitely more of a pain to get a recommender to target l…
  • Yeah if you're serious about becoming a lawyer then you should take the LSAT seriously and not create unrealistic and untenable scenarios for yourself. Also, please don't joke about suicide on here or in general. If you're serious and doing it as …
  • Yeah I hear the old Branch Davidian compound is lovely this time of year :P
  • She forgot to mention it's in Waco...
  • Yes they are built in. Hover over the video and the left side should show a bunch of speeds from .8x (I think) to 3.0x.
  • She has taken more than most on here that's for sure...
  • Your BR is supposed to be higher than your timed score, so if you think that is a "problem" then yes almost everyone has that "problem". Not sure how many PTs you've done but it sounds like you have some issues with your fundamentals if you're getti…
  • @brna0714 said: P.S.- It sounds like you may need to take a break. This.
  • My only advice (aside from keeping at it) would be to not drill 25 questions of the same type because you're setting yourself up for failure. Sure it's good to drill a question type that you're struggling with, but I don't think a timed 25 question …
  • Learned through practice. I started with 7Sage and then did the Trainer afterwards so I had already picked up notations from 7Sage and just made a few adjustments. There aren't nearly as many notations as the Trainer makes it seem like since it is s…
  • February is definitely late in the cycle, but that is long after the December LSAT and December is not late in the cycle.
  • No, they update it as you go. I submitted my undergrad transcripts and got a LSAC GPA back within a few days and then a couple months later remembered I took some college classes during high school for credit, hit up the schools and found my transcr…
    in LSAC GPA Comment by Pacifico July 2015
  • You can retake in February for most schools and still be fine. I can't think of any law schools off the top of my head where you can start in January. You should take the LSAT and then fill out your apps and submit them, or if you want to do them be…
  • Don't bother applying ED unless it's NU or another school that grants a significant scholarship for ED admits. Binding ED takes away almost all your negotiating leverage and provides only a little boost (if any) in most cases. There is still plenty…
  • 1. No 2. It varies but for the most part it seems easier. I know June's experimental LG was easier than the real one though. People seem to be able to figure it out one way or another. 3. Yes if it is a different type 4. At least one of each type as…
  • Generally I just read the stimulus and maybe put a little notch when it appears to help locate it more easily when going through the ACs. I guess it depends on the length of the stimulus. But I wouldn't get in the habit of finding it first just beca…
  • I found this in the syllabus and if you watch the video, JY specifically says there is no logical indicator in this sentence and he threw this question in there to test your ability to recognize sufficient and necessary conditions without it. He use…
  • Most schools will run a report and see that you're registered for another LSAT and will likely place your application on hold. I'm sure some schools vary in their reaction to another LSAT registration depending on the scores you already have, but in…

  • @"mc_meatt" said: - So, once I've set up the LSAC account now (Summer 2015), paid for the CAS, and have sent my transcript, LORs, then my LSAC account information, CAS record as well as my transcript and LORs remain for five years? So that when th…
  • I feel you... I'm weeks away from being out of the Army and then I'll be playing stay-at-home dad until law school pretty much.
  • You don't need to do that since the time extends your current expiration date. If you're going to wait, you might just wait until the day after your account expires, then just pay for the ultimate package and get the full year.
  • It's definitely worth it because it is basically giving you a private tutor for every single question covered for a fraction of the price of a personal tutor or any other prep course. It is an insanely small investment compared to the costs of your …
