They way I think of it, there are multiple variables that can go into serval different groups. The variables can be used more than once and there's no fixed number of items that can be placed in your groups. Does that make sense? Also, as the above…

@DumbHollywoodActor I appreciate the insight. I think I'll put a lot of effort into analytics/weak areas and join up for a call when the group hits early PTs..like 37/38. As far as your other comments go, do you suggest BR on questions that I don…

@DumbHollywoodActor My BR scores for the last bunch of PTs fell in 169-171 range. As far as section breakdown I was averaging about -10 on LR (combined), -5 for LG, and -8 for RC. I was heavily burnt out at the end of my studies though, and I thin…

Quick question, I'm retaking in June so went through the 7sage curriculum last summer and took about 18 PTs averaging 162. Does it make sense to jump into the BR group as I work through the rest of the curriculum again. Or should I keep at the cirr…

Everyone, I can't describe how much I thoroughly appreciate the advice and experiences. I'm the only one in my close group of friends considering law school, and there are no lawyers in my family. Online research can only help so much when compared…

@alexandergreene93 , My hometown is just outside a large city and would fortunately be able to live at home/commute to work if necessary. Additionally, I have interned in IP at a big law firm and didn't feel that lifestyle was for me. The people the…

@nicole.hopkins I'm writing again in December, and in reference to the schedule you laid out above, would it make sense to follow that if most of the PTs would be retakes? The only fresh PTs I have left are 44-51, so should I sub those in for some…

I'd say the shift in difficulty starts to become noticeable in the 60s. Some say the 50s, depends on your strengths/weaknesses

I generally despise buzzfeed but that was perfect

Could I just resize and print out my LinkedIn photo on a nice color printer at my College's library? Honestly haven't thought about this yet. The LinkedIn picture is from the last month or so

Thanks for the advice everyone, feel like the untimed BR is the way to go

Would people say that it's better to be doing individual timed sections than full PTs? I had planned to take 75 tomorrow, but all this talk of confidence makes me nervous that a score on the lower end of my range might shake me before the big day. …

Hahah @nicole.hopkins correlation does not imply causation

Follow up question, can we use the bathroom during the break?

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm also an ENTJ. High 5

Found what I was looking for. http://lsatblog.blogspot.com/2009/07/logic-games-categorized-types.html For all those interested in a list of games organized by type

Here are the links to the Law School Transparency reports for both schools, maybe these can help you decide http://www.lstscorereports.com/schools/bc/2014/ http://www.lstscorereports.com/schools/bu/2014/

Here's how I approach each section as far as timing goes: LG: I assume you've thoroughly drilled different game types and are familiar with JY's timing recommendations for various game types/difficulty levels. It's important to know which game type…

I posted about this same exact problem the other day. For my last 10 PTs, all in late 50s-late 60s, I've been pretty stagnant at 163. As @GordonBombay put it, we may have peaked in terms of skill as far as the October exam is concerned. I think our …
-
I'd say it can't hurt because the fundamental concepts are similar, but make sure you just prioritize which games/game types you pay the most attention to. Usually J.Y. will specify when a game is outdated. However I'd rather be safe than sorry if …

@nicole.hopkins Could you please send it to me too! Flaw questions make my head hurt
-
@GordonBombay Nice to know someone else in my shoes. It can be frustrating at times to be stagnant in PT scores, but I always remind myself of the progress made since the diagnostic. I think I'm going to save 67-71 for drilling/fresh PTs in the ev…

I don't think you should assume you're going to do poorly and that you must cancel the scores. Take a deep breath. Yes, the later PTs are somewhat different than older tests but the fundamentals are the same. You still have about two weeks left, an…

You have to bring your own stuff. and I believe there's no scratch paper allowed

Jsohn, For many questions, especially the toughest ones, I think it's very hard to consistently and reliably predict answer choices (so I've found). For these questions, I think using process of elimination in your best bet. Just envision J.Y.'s v…

Ok great thanks. So I assume the same is true for letters of rec?

I tend to have 3-5 minutes at the end to look over answers. Powering through questions can sometimes cause me to get more bogged down than I realize. I've read in other places if you can't fully grasp the stimulus on your first read just skip and co…

I used to have a lot of trouble with weaken questions too. For these questions it's important to target the support that exists between the premise and conclusion. Try isolating the premise and conclusion and then selecting an answer choice that mos…
