@BruiserWoods 3 full timed drills as in 3 sections per week night? That sounds like quite a bit of studying, but if you're comfortable with it, do what works for you. However, I'd be weary of full PTs Saturday and Sunday..I think BR is more impor…

Got it, thanks again!

Thanks Nicole! I've never taped myself LSATing before..what exactly does that help with? Seeing where I spin my wheels/flip flop on answer choices? And should I position the camera facing me or above like in JYs timed videos?
-
@Addistotle funny that your guess answer is always C. More of a D guy personally. But good for you getting the lesson learned out of the way
-
@"Cant Get Right" That's a good suggestion. I'm still going to keep an eye out for any test center change availability through the lsac site though. Regardless, I sent a really really nice email to lsacinfo/whatever their test center complaint emai…

@BruiserWoods @KWoulf13 good to see that Boston is well represented around here!
-
Just checked the lsac site, all test centers in my area are full and you can't change to be on a waiting list somewhere. Does anyone know of anything I can do? Or am I officially rolling the dice at this point? I guess I'll just have to make sure t…

Inspired by this thread I decided to check out my test center today. Roxbury community college in Boston (first take was at Northeastern, they packed like 65+ of us in a room..I found it distracting and it made administration longer than I expected)…

First thing's first, I strongly advise you against taking the exam in June. You're going to waste several PTs by scoring way lower than your target. That's counter productive to your progress if you already have your eyes on September. Trust me, I'v…

Personally speaking, there are a few things that trigger my internal alarm to skip a question. 1. If I don't grasp the stimulus after my first read. I'm not talking about slight confusion, as that's common with this exam. It's that feeling of "what…
-
@BruiserWoods I feel your pain haha. I think it's important to really nail the easy questions and implement a good skipping strategy. I'm trying to focus on getting through all the questions and making sure I'm getting every piece of low hanging fru…

I noticed a similar thing with the 70s LR. The test evolves over time, and I think you're speaking to the slight transformation that has occurred between the 60s and 70s. I've also been having trouble maintaining my usual LR score during these most …
-
@westcoastbestcoast I guess what I'm referring to by "accepting the truth" is the idea that you need to focus on making this paradox "work" by choosing the correct AC which will resolve the paradox. So by accepting it, you're committing to the task …
-
I used to have tons of trouble with Resolve questions: I started to get better at them by changing the way I thought about them/approached the questions themselves. You must accept the truth of the paradox that the question is laying out for you. T…

Haha well put @runiggyrun

Unfortunately 7sage doesn't have a rankings system for whole PTs. Theoretically, they should all be of the same difficultly since it's a standardized test. However there are certainly some that are harder than others and opinions about that will var…
-
I have a similar problem sometimes. As some sages have told me, this can happen deep in your prep..you're used to the exam, understand the fundamentals, except sometimes you go through the motions and don't read as critically as the lsat demands. I…
-
I'd say that while taking the PTs in the room is a definite luxury that could have some advantages, it's not worth it if it can be detrimental to your progress/performance. In my opinion, taking PTs in the room is a matter of getting comfortable and…

I'm currently in finals week, fortunately my last final is on Thursday. My plan is to PT as normal today, study tonight, BR my PT (64) tomorrow morning, then study again Weds night. Basically, I'm keeping LSAT in the morning so I can maximize my me…

I changed my photo, can confirm that it takes a phone call to get it done
-
I guess the 6 months has passed..because I definitely remember viewing the pdf at some point. Oh well, 76 is only $10 on Amazon. Thanks for the help!
-
As far as remembering questions, I'd just be cautious of getting to the point of where you begin reading a stimulus and instantly think "oh I know that B is the answer because blah blah blah". I think that defeats the purpose of the process you're g…
-
To echo what everyone else is saying: above all else they're useful for getting in the early repetitions on questions. Once you work your way to the most recent PTs you're aiming to refine mastery on the skills you've built during those early tests.
-
@"Quick Silver" So before your 165 second take you were averaging high 160s with a few low 170s? That's basically me exactly, and my gut tells me confidence on test day could be a big factor in ward off the test day penalty
-
@"Cant Get Right" Thanks for the feedback, your points about getting used to the LGs are really on target. I would absolutely be demoralized if my last PT before game day were lower than usual because of an unconventional LG. I might get used to 72/…
-
Thanks @BruiserWoods and @"GSU Hopeful" I know the group would be helpful, but would waiting until mid may to get through PTs 74/75 for example be waiting too close to the actual LSAT? I see a lot of people posting about acquainting yourself with …
-
Haha I thought I was the only one with LSAT nightmares... One time I had a dream that my dad was the proctor of my LSAT exam, he messed up the timing so we didn't get a break.. Talk about the lamest/weirdest stress dream of all time
-
I've also started thinking about lead up plans, here's a couple things off the top of my head: Stick with only 2 PTs per week. I think it's important to maintain a healthy PT schedule and I believe that 2 is the perfect burn out prevention sweet sp…
-
I'm also considering other options. As much as I've already put into this LSAT business, I'm about to graduate undergrad and have job offers at start-ups in front of me. Feel like those are exciting opportunities and going right back to school may b…

I think that the answer to your main question depends on personal preference. Are you someone who will definitely remember to come back to the question you skipped? Or are you better off putting an answer down because you don't always give yourself …
