There's not a real reliable pattern for question difficulty, other than the fact that the first 5 questions seem to be quite easy. Sometimes they'll throw a 5 star as early as question 7, other times the first 5 star won't appear until Q20. My advi…

@Tonyk215 Doesn't that mess up the PT for you though? For example lets say I choose section 3 for PT60 to use as my experimental for PT61, when I put that section into the exam I'll see what order the exam is, and I'll know which one is the experim…
-
@tylerdschreur10 Yeah I do 4 section PTs. I haven't figured out a way to do 5 section PTs without robbing myself of some aspect of the exam. If I create my own 5 section PTs, then I end up knowing which is the experimental as well as the order that…

@Kateryna I grade after I finish the PT and blind review
-
@keets993 Only LR/RC and it doesn't seem to follow any rhyme or reason. If it was fatigue I would expect it to be my 3rd/4th sections but those are usually my best sections

@"surfy surf" said: If you have additional time during your PT to go back over some questions you circled, do you still leave them for BR if you feel certain about your AC? Yes, always. Because if I circled a question, then that means it gave …
-
My BR is pretty similar, usually doesn't take me any more than an hour to BR my full PT. I'm a lot more cautious with my BR though and I'll circle anywhere from 7-11 questions per section. Usually all that's required for me to get to 100% confidenc…

If you went to Uni in China for a year and a half, then you're required to submit those transcripts and yes they will help bring your GPA up. As with all splitters, the best thing you can do is score a high LSAT and apply early in the cycle. And ye…

This has been my full time study schedule for the past three or so months. Non-PT Days: 6:15-6:45AM - Wake up, I budget 30 mins extra sleep in case of a bad night's sleep. 6:45-7:15AM - Meditate, headspace app. 7:15-8:45AM - Study Mandarin Chine…

@Ohnoeshalpme Usually don't feel nervous but I do get tilted when I feel I've bombed a games section. Though it doesn't seem to matter whether games are 1st or 4th section

When I went through the CC I just timed myself with a stopwatch, just to have an idea of how I was doing while working through the questions. That way I didn't have a hard time limit that would make me feel rushed, but I still had timing data that …

Congrats on the 170! Looks like you might have a 180 in your future if you're scoring 170 with -10 on LG! Unrelated but in the future you should really try to BR first before you grade -- knowing how many mistakes you have in a section really poiso…

In my opinion the core curriculum is sufficient to get you to the answer of any LSAT question. Whether you decide to supplement with other materials is up to preference.
-
Yeah meditation and exercise are part of my daily routine because of the LSAT, and I do think they've made a difference. It's not a huge one though, maybe an improvement of 1-2 points mainly in the form of less reading/overconfidence errors.
-
On topic: I think you've got a great attitude towards the test, and that probably has contributed a lot to your crazy scores! Off topic: Do you collect any data while PTing that you'd be willing to share? I've actually never heard of someone cons…

If you are certain that you would withdraw from U Michigan and attend Harvard if given the option, then stay on the wait-list. Otherwise, I think it would be better to withdraw. While I agree that Harvard is unlikely to do anything to enforce the p…
-
Personally I would retake and apply next cycle, and I don't think you need to quit your job. Depending on your lg, you could improve to 160+ just from locking down that section. If I were you I'd register for september and just focus on LG.
-
I diagram some of the more difficult parallel reasoning/parallel flaw questions that lend themselves to being diagrammed (some parallel questions are weird and don't fit well into conditional logic). For example PT45 S1 Q25 is a fairly difficult pa…
-
I found PT45 Passage 2 to be a killer. Nearly all the questions have a trick AC based on a subtle misreading. You can easily go -5 without marking a single AC for BR.

@storm said: If that's unclear to you and you're interested, I'm happy to send over some literature recommendations. No, that's okay. I wasn't trying to suggest that the opposite is true -- rather just trying to draw an (admittedly weak, as yo…

@goingfor99th I don't think they're saying this, but worried that it might be misinterpreted that way. Personally I don't know how admissions officers would interpret the DS. Online I've seen a lot of identity politics "if you're not a minority, t…

Unfortunately, I do think that the low GPA will be a hindrance to you when applying to law schools. As frustrating as it is, LSAC counts your undergrad GPA against you no matter how long ago it was. That said, there are still great opportunities fo…
-
I agree with @jkatz1488 and @akistotle . You need to do Blind Review first before you look at the answers. I do understand what you're getting at -- and I think another way to accomplish this is to retake some past PTs after you've had several mont…

1) PTs with deep BR 2) Drilling problem areas 3) Continue FPing Logic Games 4) Ironing out timing strategies, bubbling strategies, etc. 5) Trying to get into good habits, like meditation and morning exercise 6) Trying to avoid burnout as m…

Personally, I want to do transactional work/M&A in China and the Harvard name actually goes quite a ways in China. I think that the prestige factor might even be a bigger factor over there than elsewhere; the Chinese really value education and m…

There's an AMA with 7sager Accounts Playable on the 7sage youtube where they talk about this situation for a good amount of the AMA. I'd go watch that video and see if that gives you some direction. You should be able to find it just searching on y…

@LastLSAT Yeah, of course there are plenty of seats available for those who score less than 175. I regret my clickbait title now, as many people seem to have misunderstood the purpose of my post. The point I'm more trying to make concerns how the …

@Brian_LSAT said: It will be interesting to see how things turn out next cycle. I would not be surprised to see a significant number of applicants from this cycle with great numbers and disappointing results try their luck again, which ironica…

Just would like to echo what @"Leah M B" said. The sections within the exam often vary within difficulty. I believe if you go to LSAT Analytics you can actually see what the difficulty rating for your section was, from 1-5. The games from PT36, for…

Unless the 3.7 will jump you from 25th percentile to 50th or from 50th percentile to 75th, I wouldn't stress too much about the difference. Apply early and notify schools of the grade increase asap.
