What you laid out sounds about right. I'd recommend not focusing on your score as much when taking PTs, you absolutely don't want to see a lower score that gets you rattled right before the exam. Assuming you've taken the recent PTs, I tend to thin…
-
Ehhh hard to lay out which ones exactly. If you buy the "10 actual" book that includes PTs 19-28, that should cover a lot of the older games. That's a book that I leaned on heavily to drill my LG to the level that it is today. Here's an amazon link…

@rmshirk22 said: Maybe the anxiety is coming up because the test date is inching closer This. I say if you're hitting your goals and think you can be mentally recuperated after the move and before 9/24..take the test! good luck!
-
I'm going to take a slightly different approach here. When will your move be done? Where are you current PT scores in relation to your goal? I think that these 2 questions can help you make the most informed decision on this. In my opinion, if you'…

@frankl10 December is absolutely not too late to apply. That may have been true when admissions were through the roof (think mid-late 2000s), but that's not the case anymore. Many schools accept Feb. exams for fall admissions, and certain 7sagers…

@"Tina Cho" Similar to what @"Cant Get Right" says, if you examine new era weird games, the set up is where the bulk of the difficulty lies. Make sure to take some breaths, set up the board, and understand how the rules and game pieces interact. …

Seconding @Addistotle. Even though my mic died during my big moment, the webinar was really helpful to just listen to. Got the wheels turning, thanks David!

1) My name is Kevin, I'm 23 years old and just graduated from college. I'm currently working full time as a paralegal and have been interested in law school since I started college. I have 2 years worth of undergrad internship experience woking in v…

I always go Warren or Khalil during fresh takes, but JY when I'm drilling times sections. Makes me feel like I'm doing reps with coach

@BruiserWoods @allison.gill.sanford I'm game for this weekend! It's PT 78 retake day too, should be quite the LSAT-urday

Very common question. You'll be absolutely fine to apply for fall 2017 with a December score. As many others will tell you, it's always better to postpone if you're not ready. By taking in December you even have the February take as a backup if you …

What everyone else said. Keep in mind that while the writing sample doesn't affect your score, admissions people can see it if they want. Don't get anxious about writing it, but do put something coherent together
-
I think it's really important to get your LG to a consistent -2 or less. Most of the recent exams have been 101 questions and you need 88-90 correct for a 170. With ~10 questions to play with between 2 LRs and an RC, a 170 is doable assuming your fu…
-
I agree with @montaha.rizeq. If you're stressing about getting applications out early, just make sure everything is ready to send by the time your 160+ score comes in
-
I'm going to take a somewhat opposite stance here. I'd lean primarily on the newer tests. Yes, make sure you're mixing in fresh takes with PTs you haven't seen, but I think relying on PTs before 50 might make you have to readjust to the slight diff…

Take the diagnostic blind, that's the purpose of it/like you said, don't waste material prepping for a diagnostic
-
If you think that you can score higher by doing 3 passages and guessing on the 4th, do it. However know that this strategy can't be your long term plan if you're aiming 165+ and definitely not at 170+. It's an ok strategy to help you develop mechan…
-
Have you taken a diagnostic yet? And when do you want to start law school? These will be the major determinants, along with how hard you're willing to work. I'd say that Decemeber could work given the time you have. Even if you started the 7sage ci…

@peteyj42 Kick off is going to be closer to 2:45 today, heads up

@montaha.rizeq I've used it since Julyish 2015 so a full year. At one point this past spring the pin (little windy thing on the side) popped out, but the watch has warranty so I just sent it back and got a new one free of charge. Obviously at ~$2…

@KWoulf13 Sounds good. We go through each question and compare our answers. If we disagree, we work through the question, discuss the ACs, then decide individually whether to change our answers based on our discussion (sometimes we agree to disagr…
-
Yeah, @KWoulf13, our game plan is taking the PT on our own and just being ready to BR at 2:30. We like to take the PT then BR immediately, but if you took the test tonight then just met with us tomorrow that's cool too

-
I'm going to agree with @blah170blah insofar as it's highly important that you approach each RC passage the same in terms of how you annotate. Some people like the way @"Nicole Hopkins" goes about it in her webinar on RC: - But in the end it's all …

@julsnet2 A few months ago 7sage put on a Webinar with Mike Spivey about the law school admissions process and it's available here: While it doesn't directly answer your question, the webinar is super informative about the admissions process and…
