Obviously when you're taking a test you can't know before hand what the difficulty is. However, it seems that the general rule among high-scorers is to skip a question that throws an unusually large wrench into your plan. P…

I personally haven't found 5-star questions to be particularly different conceptually from "easier" question -- often it's just that the stimulus is more confusing, more cleverly worded, has more distracting fluff, or …

If you can get the 170 you ought to get into a Top 14 if you blanket them.

I've heard that if you apply to the law school that was your undergrad, you have less of a chance of getting in. In my case, it's my graduate school so I'm not sure if it still applies but I'…

This is unrelated to your question, but is the MFA in creative writing or another field? A Michigan MFA in poetry is my DREAM. I'm applying for it alongside law school this year, and would love to hear your experiences.

The bump depends on what type of URM, too. Not all URMs are as underrepresented as others. The more underrepresented, the bigger the bump.
True

If you do make it into the 170s, I think you should have a solid shot. T3 would be tough and certain other ones like Chicago that place a lot of value on GPA. But if you blanket the whole T14, I think you should have a good s…
@FixedDice said:
Depends on which T14s you have in mind (Yale and Stanford, for example, might be a liiiitle bit of a stretch), but I think you will have a decent shot if you manage to score 170+ (or equal to or above a T14's median). 3.5+ is …

@"Cant Get Right" Hey there, your BR format sounds so helpful. I was wondering do you use this primarily for all answers you got wrong or all the questions in your LR section.
Thanks …
I go to Michigan as a grad student now. The resources are great, a lot of space to study, faculty is accomadating. The only thing I truly hate is the weather. It's tough, obviously Columbia is gonna be cold to but, when they say the Winter's are gon…

You're not actually BRing, so that's definitely going to be why you're not improving between the timed take and BR and why you're not making any gains more broadly. You've got to write it all out to hold yourself accoun…

I think you should defintely start to type out or write down during your blind review. Re-write the stimulus, label as you please and write down your anticipations and then write down why you think the four …

Is it specific question types? What about difficulty level? In addition to what has already been stated, I'd suggest trying to anticipate the answer choices. So when you're done labelling the premise and conclusion, cover up th…

I ask because if you're getting questions wrong without the time constraint, then it suggests that there's some issue with the fundamentals that you're having. If that's t…
