Imagine being drunk and taking an LSAT... I think I'd make it to like question 3, get sidetracked, then order pizza

@montahar hahah the struggle of those who can't do math
-
Yeah, if anything it can make you more unique. I'll be one of the droves of Political Science majors entering law school *so different*

@combsni In light of your previous thread on here, I'd highly recommend taking a quick step back to evaluate your study strategy. As others have touched on, LSAT improvement is extremely difficult to brute force no matter how innately intelligent …
-
This is a pretty interesting concept. I guess if I had to actually describe my reading, it's efficient and deliberate. I make sure that in my read I read at a steady (not "fast", but efficient) pace, making sure to "touch" each word. You definitely …

I also scored a 164 on the June LSAT, looking to get up to 170, and have taken all of the PTs..here are my thoughts on retakes: While it definitely sucks to not have as many fresh takes left retakes in general can be extremely useful. When PTing in…

In my opinion, and I know others share this view, getting -0 on LG is a huge part (but not required) for scoring 170+. The LG explanations on 7sage are flat out the best around. While I'm pretty sure that all of the LG explanations are available on…

@twssmith Great post. A lot of good lessons here and I'd want to echo how important it is to be honest with yourself about under confidence. For anyone in the PT stage, you're doing yourself a disservice to circle a question during PT being 90% co…

Lots of great advice here. I'd highly recommend the Splitting the Boards webinar! Definitely helped me nail down a strategy
-
Seconding what @BruiserWoods is telling you. Can't beat BR with actually talking out/deep diving your answers. Sorry to hear your June take didn't work out exactly as planned..I'm also in that boat. I'd definitely recommend the BR calls if you don'…

@mantel123 shout out to you for having ambition. You're in the right place to make the strides from 165 to 170 if you're willing to work for it. I personally increased 18 points (146-164) from diagnostic to my recent June LSAT using 7sage and I'm a…

I'm also giving a shout out to My Cousin Vinny. Definite classic
-
I would not advise this. In reality, probably wouldn't be THAT bad..Id just recommend moving in some form of chronological order. If you're worried about time just skip around starting with the 30s and move up from there making sure that you finish…
-
@ClarKent I'd recommend timing yourself on individual games and then working your way into full section LG drills. As far as games that you remember..I'd say put those aside and practice others until some time passes and you don't remember them as…
-
I would recommend taking stock of the PTs and planning to do 2 per week up until September. If I'm not mistaken, I think that comes out to roughly 20ish? PTs between now and 9/24. I used a calendar to schedule out my PT days. I always did PTs on Tu…
-
Just to echo what everyone else said: I generally just watch videos for ones I get wrong or got right on a guess. Other times I'll watch a video for a question that I'm confident I got right, but just to hear why J.Y. says a certain answer choice is…
-
How long have you been training on LG? Generally this skill develops in time and you instinctively visualize a game board set up while you're reading the stimulus. When it comes to LG there are only a handful of different "templates" that game board…
-
How long have you been at it? Generally, people report the slowest/least amount of gains on RC. Maybe try thinking of RC passages as an extended LR? While it's obviously a different type of section, many of the skills you develop in LR (ex: ability …
-
Just to elaborate on why you should never erase: Sometimes something that you sketch out but don't need for a certain question may be useful on a later question in the set. If you try to draw out a certain board/combination and realize it doesn't wo…
-
Pretty solid deal. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!
-
@cal6005 Quick question: Which section # was your -6 LR? I'm asking because I also had a -6 LR section and it was #1 for me. I think a bad section early indicates test day nerves even if you say you don't feel anxiety. Especially if -6 is an unp…

@stepharizona where can I find the pt37 live take? Sounds pretty helpful
-
Looking at FSU's site, their 75th percentile LSAT is a 161 and GPA is a 3.68. Typically, applicants who are above both 75th are most likely to get the big money offers. What's your GPA? (Don't have to post here, just consider) If you're sitting at …
-
Have you checked out the webinars? I found those really helpful in supplementing. I'd only think about revisiting the curriculum if you have blatant identifiable weak spots. You got a 166 and have hit 170+ on PTs, you understand the fundamentals. M…
-
I think it's definitely possible to see a 9-10 point increase with the starter package if you have minimal expose to the LSAT at this point. However everyone is different
-
@joecarterruskey First off congrats on the 169, that's an excellent score! Second, to echo what others have said, take some time to decide what your plan from here is. I would definitely recommend not ruling out the retake entirely, but if you thin…
-
First of all, I'd recommend taking a few days to digest everything then reevaluate where you're at. But, what was the average of your last 5 PTs right before you took the exam? Honestly I think the decision to retake varies from person to person. I…

Did you get your score in email before pdf uploads? Asking for those who are still waiting

Congrats!
