Agree with @BinghamtonDave . I came across a question yesterday that I just straight up don't understand, even in BR.
Really curious about what question you’re referring to. I’ve also come across questions like this.…
There’s a Harvard Law podcast called Leading Questions (preciously “all rise”) and the hosts interview Harvard Law professors. Might not help with the LSAT but it’s interesting and certainly inspirational.

Well this is discouraging, I had two RCs and was hoping the fish passage was experimental lol.
Same, man. I totally bombed the fish farms and felt like I did quite well on the experi…

Is the LR section with a question on manufacturing a product if and only if a CEO approves real? That section also had a question on how female characters in fiction work only if there's a mismatch between that character's pers…

Does anyone know if the LR section with the spiders in Guam was real or experimental?
Real. Do you remember an RC passage about Brooklyn, Illinois?
Great improvement and wow it must feel incredible scoring a 180! I've only even managed that during BR. Definitely don't think I'll ever get there timed but I think I'm ok with that. lolol.
I scored about 4 points below my average back in November. This past week I revisited the exam and let’s just say I feel like a totally different test taker. Me on my worst today is still far better than me on my worst day in November. I’m sure the…
I'm a native speaker so I don't think I'm the best person to give you advice however, JY did a podcast episode with a non-native sager "Grey Warden" and she talks about how she overcame RC difficulties by reading the Economist and using it as RC pra…

Will September and afterwards be fully digital? I’m writing in July, but concerned I might need some extra time. For admission in 2020, what is the most commonly accepted absolute last LSAT date?
September and afterwards …
Damn straight! Think I’m doing an LG section a day. And going over some of my weaker LR question types mostly to solidify my approach with those questions. Nothing demanding. We know the material. Time to trust the process.
Once I learned to stop wasting time on hard questions. Sometimes you just miss a small detail and don’t know where to find it. That’s just bad luck but it’s not worth searching for it and wasting precious time.

The plus is, you get till Sept 4th to decide, after you see your score, to cancel. And if you cancel, you get another test as a freebie. So, there's that.
Correct me if I’m wrong. But Im guessing we wouldn’t be able to us…
I already took my last full length PT. It was 82 and had a pretty intense RC section imo. I think all the LR in the 80s is a bit wordier so drilling from any of those tests might be beneficial. (If you're worried about wordy LR just focus on identif…
7 Sage is the way to go! That being said, I wouldn't even think about taking the test until you've been scoring close to your target score consistently. Most people typically underperform on test day so by taking it in July you're only going to st…
There are so many different pieces of advice on RC and a lot of it depends on what your main problem is. I improved my RC from -8/-10 to the -4/-6 range. The first and most valuable steps you can take is learning how to read for structure. Instea…
Thanks for the advice everyone! I'm definitely leaning toward coffee or tea and a short power nap. I've also been testing exercise and I've noticed getting the blood flowing to my brain really helps! pushups, handstands, etc.

@"Pride Only Hurts" Are PTs in the 80s different from those in 70s? If so, how different? Thanks.
I think if there are differences, then they are very subtle. I feel like the LR in the 80s are filled with more fluff. So th…
I would say yes these drops are normal however you need to expose yourself so the more recent pts before you take the real deal in June. Thankfully the problems you’re facing with LG probably won’t be much of an issue because the most recent Pts hav…
Where you want to live after law school is the real question here. I chose Houston over Emory for you because of you see yourself staying in Texas, Houston almost certainly has a better network. For example (I went to Emory for undergrad) a lot of …
I’m in a similar boat. Average for last 5 has been 167 and most recently I had the worst LR section I’ve had in months. I also average able -6 on RC. What are your BR scores on the tests where you underperformed? If they aren’t well into the 170s …
I had an ex admissions officer read mine and received feedback that didn’t really follow the approach David and his team suggest. I prefer their method as it makes sense to me so I will have them look over it and then maybe an old professor of mine.
Best thing you can do is use the next two weeks to learn how to skip properly. I find that once you can go 25 in 25 or close, you have enough time to review about 5 questions. And unless youre shooting for a perfect score you really only need to ge…
would say focus on your problem areas and drill them under timed conditions (I found doing the CC LR drills with a stopwatch next to me helped.) If you're missing easy questions those are considered overconfidence errors. Figure out why. Then, id…
