I agree with pretty much everything said above. You can raise that score! Especially if you haven't really been studying too much. While transferring is always an option, that's a dangerous mindset to have going into your 1L year. You'd be putting…
First of all it's not bad that you scored a 145. It's not ideal but I scored a 147 on my diagnostic so I've been there. Best advice I can give you was already said. Don't aim for a 180. Aim for a 155. Then Aim for a 160. And keep moving closer…
Sounds like your logical intuition is kicking into gear so sometimes your gut answer choice is correct. But if your fundamentals aren't strong enough then you can't tell why the answer choice you think is right is correct and that's when you start …

So I also work full time and because of that i've been forced to space out my studying. I try to study when I can during work and I …
I don't know your money situation but I was in a similar boat not too long ago and only had the Starter version of the course. I decided to upgrade to Ultimate+ (should've done it waay earlier but better late than never). The sheer amount of print…
As a philosophy major I'm going to say the advantage we have comes more from application of active reading. I think once you learn proper active reading strategies, getting through the dense material will be much easier. I tried reading the econom…
I was in a similar boat. Honestly what they say about LG is true. But for some people it takes a lot more time. I'm still not perfect and panic occasionally but I'm a hell of a lot better than I was 3 months ago. I had to push my test date back …
That's good advice! I think I have sooo much room for RC improvement. I'm going -6 on average but with BR I can easily go -1/-2. I'm positive I'm underperforming in LR as well but I obviously can't guarantee things will click for me in the next fe…

1) Sometimes when a question goes wrong in the first round, I know it's a matter of a bad read and not because the question was actually difficult. It's hard to explain this feeling but it would usually happen at least once …

I should clarify that my scores died from PT 72-78 lol Some of the toughest sequences of LR and RC I've seen.
that sounds terrifying. Did they rebound in the 80s? I still haven't hit the 70s. So I'm trying to brace myself.
This man was without a doubt the single biggest inspiration I've had during this lsat journey. His story and the stories he shared in his book really just put everything into perspective for me.

For sure. I went from -22 LR diagnostic to -6 on PT 30, then -16 on PT 60, and -20 on PT 65. I have absolutely no idea what is happening.
UGH. I went -12 on 65 and 2 months later -…

I agree with what is stated above, the earlier sections overall seem easier to me and that is reflected in my scores as well.
Have you been able to adjust yourself to the newer LR sections or are you still working toward …
Thanks for all the feedback. I'm currently still figuring out my skipping strategy. The only questions I skip without reading are the later 15-26 parallel flaw questions. Otherwise I'll read the stimulus and if I have no idea what the correct ans…
From reading dozens of message boards I can say your certainly have a shot. Worth applying but keep in mind Yale is one of the toughest schools for splitters (aside from being the most selective in general).

I skipped right to it and ended up regretting that. It's probably not going to hurt you but the course is probably best done in order. Also Logical reasoning makes up 2 sections! Don't worry too much about LG. You'd get there and you will see si…
