Also it's worth noting that the increase in applicants with 160-170+ correlates with an overall increase in the number of students taking the test. Also remember that law school class sizes are not fixed. They can make more or less seats available i…

If you take a look at the numbers one thing which jumps out is that the declines occur around what you might consider boundary scores. At the top end, the scores which saw declines in applicant numbers were 178, 170, 159, 150. Aside from students ge…

I feel violated. Good thing I pre-booked Feb. Edit: mine was nondisclosed. Experimental RC. Knew I was screwed when I realised my first LG wasn’t the experimental. It was brutal. Like all the worst kinds of stuff from the old games. It felt like it…

@MuhammadXII said: But yeah, it has been just very difficult for me to apply what I learned during the course to my prep tests, especially when it comes to RC and LG. I feel like I have spent a lot of money, but not seen any results. One ot…

I see you've got the Starter course. How much of it have you completed? If you've already gone through it, perhaps going through it again would help. Also, are you strictly following the blind review process for your PTs?

Going to ask a dumb question but... when do you fill in all that demographic info on your answer sheet? Will you be given instructions for all that stuff?

@kayyyy95 said: @"Alex Divine" @"Rigid Designator" I'm in a similar situation at the moment. I'm currently PT'ing around 166-167 average and I'm aiming for 170+ (I BR around 175-176, so seems like timing/thinking clearer under pressure is what…

For me personally the key was to really try and pin down what it is I wanted to communicate with the statement, or what my narrative was. At that point it's easier to cut things out. I think the fear of cutting something good out is perfectly normal…

@skrishnan said: @"Alex Divine" @"Seeking Perfection" Thank you for this, I'm still about 8-10 points away, I've been Pt'ing between 160-162 and BR'ing between 173-178. 170+ is the target. I'm inclined towards taking the December test since I'…

I also found this to be a hard PT. I had the hardest time with the games and the last LR section where I went -4. As for the games I fully butchered one game where I had a rule flipped by accident, so that helped nuke my score. RC was about average …

@"adi.pickles" said: So I took the Sept. test and scored 5 points higher than the latest 3 PTs I took before it.... so make sure to be calm and eat properly the day of the test This gives me hope. Lol.

I think this goes in to the category of 'write one if you can write one well'. I'm kind of in the same boat as you. I'm a US citizen but have lived abroad my entire life, so in that sense I have a different perspective from most applicants, but it's…
-
I think you'll be fine. I've gone with 2-3 LORs all from grad school professors.
-
Looking at this from an outsider's perspective, I'm a little surprised to see that you BR your PTs on the same day you take them, especially given that you are doing two PTs per week. Do you usually have very few questions to BR? What is your BR pro…

I have done confidence drills but I am a bit like yourself and I actually have a hard time judging my confidence, so I don't feel I get much out of them. Sometimes I think you do just have to bring the attitude of 'cut your losses'. Or maybe look at…
-
This is only a little nugget of help, but watch out for LR questions where you quickly zero'd in on the right answer, felt confident, but spent a lot of time double checking regardless. For some top scorers having the confidence to pick an answer ch…

If you're working on the test full-time, I think it's possible to crack 170+ in 9 months. If you're not full-time on the test I'd maybe plan for a full year of study if you want to get 170+ (unless you're a genius, which some people are). If I were…

For another perspective: http://leiterlawschool.typepad.com/leiter/2017/11/republican-tax-hikes-target-education-michael-simkovic.html To answer your question, my understanding is no, but only on the assumption that scholarship money is not deliver…

Thanks guys. I've just gone ahead and emailed them. Suppose there is nothing to lose!

Congratulations!

Do you usually get the questions you come back to correct? Are you getting -5 from questions which you never return to? My guess would be that you are going too quickly through the section.
