Lol, congrats on your 180. I really hope to get there soon. Though... I think I'll have to mark this down as a coincidence, instead of any causal relationship. Hahahahaha. Or maybe it's a third factor, either dedication, or…

Here's what I did when I was in your situation. I re-did the 7sage CC. Takes a long time (about 2 months), but it works. If you don't have time for it, maybe get a tutor to get some guided weakness recognition and practice…

Okay, where do you get them? Amazon? More info, please.
Amazon! They're called "Staedtler - Black Wopex Graphite Pencil". They come in a pack of 6 (with eraser etc.)
On a related note I can highly recommend the 7Sage editors for any personal statement work. I worked with them on mine and was very happy with the process and end result.

My only worry is that the why law and why Columbia addition will feel "copy and pasted." Do you have any tips for avoiding this?
It does just sit by itself right at the end, but as long as you make a concerted effort to wri…

From my understanding you circle the ones you're entirely unsure of and you review thoses before checking your answers.
This is correct.
Personally I don't recommend re-doing the whole test. First off, you're re…
For Columbia I added a final paragraph to my PS. In the non-Columbia version I give reasons why law school is right for me in the final paragraph. In the extra Columbia-paragraph I pivot to why Columbia specifically suits my interests and goals. It'…

Not quite right when it comes to medians. When a school has X median it means that when you put all admitted students' scores in a line, from lowest to highest, the middle score is X. This means that it's possible that >50% of the class has X or …
I would count Spanish as European and therefore Caucasian. But I understand this might be different in America. Unfortunately these terms lack universally accepted definitions, so you might just have to pick whatever feels 'right', or otherwise go w…
In terms of overcoming the plateau - and this might sound dumb - I tried going through sections as though I was J.Y. You know how people ask "what would Jesus do?", I ask "what would J.Y. think?"

My LR average is -2.1 Range is -6 to -0 (10+ PTs). Very rarely do I feel I totally crushed an LR section. I think that's partly because you don't have the luxury to answer every question with 100%, bet-your-life-on-it certainty. This means that for …
Diversity is defined differently by different schools. Some defined it broadly whilst some define it narrowly. You should check with each school you want to apply to.

If you're still in school your main goal should be maximising your GPA. Don't worry about the LSAT just yet, especially if you're going to have a gap year.
EDIT: I'm a bit confused too. If you're still in school, but planning on a gap year, how wil…
I can recommend getting the 7Sage course so that you have access to PTs 1-35. By following the foolproof method for games you should see big improvements. There should be a section in the syllabus on that method. J.Y.'s video explanations are very h…

That being said, I wouldn't let the fact a test is non-disclosed stop me taking it if I believed I wa…

@"Rigid Designator" Thank you for your reply.
Do you mind answering one more question for me?
Can
A->C, B->C
be written as
A/B->C ?
Because 'or' here is inclusive!?
Yes, definitely.
You can split it in to two sentences.
A --> (B v C)
B --> /C
Your "weird" translation is correct though. I'd just use whichever feels most comfortable.
I'd err on the side of disclosure. But as others have said, I would avoid a full-blown addendum if possible; you don't want to make it seem like a bigger deal than it is.
Either way you have my sympathies because these situations show the inanity o…
Will it help? Yes. Do you need to? No. Will it be fun? Maybe. Would it be a valuable use of spare time? That depends.
If you'd like any philosophy reading suggestions then feel free to message me.
You need to do a deep dive on exactly why you were wrong each individual time. So you’d want to go deeper than “it was a trap AC”. You’d want to examine exactly what made it a trap and why you fell for it. After that you just need to internalise tha…
