@"Mitchell-1" said: Hmm, I really hate this. I'm fine jumping through hoops myself, but making me feel like I should ask my recommenders to as well is...not cool. Sorry to OP for not answering their question, but I'm also a little irked by t…

I can say from experience that working on LR can negatively impact your performance, even when it's your strongest section. For me this was because learning good habits required me to unlearn current habits. But it was those current habits (or intui…

Although you are more prepared than I was when I moved over to 7sage, I was also doing pretty well on PTs. I had only used the PowerScore LG Bible when I was PTing in the mid-high 160s. I think I still benefitted immensely from going through the 7sa…

@AllezAllez21 said: @"Rigid Designator" Good question. I worked really hard to try to be able to sense when I was getting a question wrong. I think any time that you feel like it's a weird correct answer, you should be very suspicious. Fo…

I won't be able to attend due to time-zones but I'd love to hear how you dealt with over-confidence errors during your prep, or if you have any insights about them. They're killing my scores at the moment and given the stage I'm at in my prep, it's …

I agree with @10000019 it would be easier to give advice if we knew your rough score breakdown. If, for example, you are going -10 or worse on LG you could gain a lot of points by rigorously focussing on logic games for a few weeks.

Going from 146 -> 160 will be a journey in learning the fundamentals of the test, so yes, I think that sort of a jump in 4 months is possible. Each extra point in the 160s onwards, and in to the 170s, will be way more challenging to earn. But I w…

It seems entirely possible. I think sometimes we as students over-estimate how formal the admissions process is. Perhaps she will remember you a decide to take a look at your file? That's not unheard of to me.

In terms of what would be counterproductive, if the LLM asks for very different application materials to the JD, you might want to assess whether you have the time to get both applications completed to a high standard. For example, I'm having this …

@Freddy_D said: I just made another email account specifically for admissions/LSAC stuff. It took 2 minutes and now all my law school stuff will be contained within this one email account. I have one kind of like that too (an alternate Gmail…

Here's a thought which might lift some spirits. If we all know the LSAT is harder than the GRE, I bet law schools know the LSAT is harder than the GRE. If law schools know the LSAT is harder than the GRE they might give a good LSAT score a bump vs.…

I can only speak from the perspective of someone who investigated joint PhDs with Philosophy, but my impression is that unless you are totally committed to leveraging the joint-degree in to an academic job (tenure-track for example), the extra inves…

I vote Ultimate+. It seems like overkill, but having access to everything means you can properly target what you need to target.

Beautiful. Instantly bookmarked.

@crivera said: But it seems that being a centrist, especially in this politically charged climate, would hurt my chances. Am I correct in being concerned? No, not really. But I would still avoid stating any of this to an admissions committee…

I can also vouch for the admissions course! I felt I was in a similar situation at one point; I felt I did nothing throughout college except survive mental health problems. But even I've found a wonderful, not-"overcoming mental health" topic to wri…

I took the exact same bait as you @jkatz1488 - I chose E during a timed run. Worse though, I positively eliminated A and I spent all of 27 seconds on the question in total! My mental pre-phrase for the question was (roughly): the issue between S a…

I like to interpret this sort of news positively. Not because I think the GRE is a superior test of law school aptitude, but because it suggests that schools are struggling to find enough students with good enough LSAT scores. This suggests those wi…

I will second Alex's recommendation to aim for a score and not a test-date. You just don't know how long your prep will take and can't bank on being at X score in Y number of weeks. I'd also caution that 168-172 is a big score range. In my experien…

You can use the PTs but if you wanted to print/access just the games from 1-35, the bundle will save your hours of time going through each PT and printing the games out.
-
Law schools would be sent both LSAT grades. You can't chose to send one and not the other. For "application purposes" most schools will say they look at both scores, but the received wisdom is that they mostly care about your most recent score. But …
