Strategic skipping would probably help you on LR. It helps to remember that skipping doesn't guarantee a loss of points -- you can always go back to it if you have extra time.

What do you mean by a splitter position?
Some schools are more likely than others to accept "splitters" -- those who are below the school's typical GPA but far above the typical LSAT. For example, someone with a 3.5/174 is a …

@"alex.e92" @JustDoIt thanks for the responses! That helps a lot! I'm a little low on the GPA unfortunately. I went to 2 separate schools but finished just over half of my degree and graduated from Texas A&M. I'm thinking m…
I think this person should drink a coffee (and use restroom) beforehand. He/she should also be well-hydrated (from drinking plain water earlier in the day) prior to drinking the coffee. Caffeine is a proven performance enhancer and could restore the…

If all someone has going for them is a 99th percentile GRE and a 4.0 --- then I wouldn't bet on them getting in.

LSAT will still be heavily weighted into LS rankings. If you're a normal applicant, you'll still need a high LSAT score to get into HLS.
What this policy allows HLS to do is accept certain URMs, well-connected individuals, and others (ex-military, …
I also think it depends where you are scoring. It takes longer to BR when you're scoring 160 than it does when you're scoring 175.
If you have the time to thoroughly BR two tests, then 2 a week is better IMO. But if you don't have the time, you're …
It's definitely possible. Do core curriculum, take PTs (the max that I can properly review is 2 per week, but some people can do 3/4). Save the 70s for last. There is also a lot of good advice throughout the forums.
Based on LSAC search,173 puts your chances in the 25% to 35% range. 175 raises this to around 50%.
But I'd agree with the above comments. Get your score first and then think about school selection. Thoughts like "I need X score for Y school" could…

what is the best way to prepare for this? should we treat all the sections as if they're the real thing which means we need that level of focus for 5 sections. should we PT with a fifth section starting from phase 1 post-CC @"C…
On my first take, I scored 3 points lower than I was PTing. It's common to score a few points lower on the real thing.
Nerves, distractions from other people in the room, and the extra experimental section all play a role IMO
Breaking 170 is tough. When I took the LSAT, my last 3 PTs were averaging 172. I scored a 169. It seems like it's common for people to score 1-3 points below their PT average on the real exam.
If you really want to get it right the first time, you…
I remember JY saying in one of his videos that pretty much anyone can solve the games with enough time. Meanwhile, I'd bet that the average person (who hasn't studied for the LSAT) would miss a ton of LR and RC questions even with unlimited time.

Hey, a 169 is a great score! Congrats!
Thanks, Dillon! I hope I can contribute to some 7sage BR sessions between now and my June retake

I'm really not positive about this, but it has been my understanding that all tests except the ones that will be published as official Practice Tests are undisclosed.
You're right -- LSAC has confirmed to me that all tests…

Congrats 169 is a great score but you deserve much higher one, do not settle for anything less than your target score.
Thanks for the kind words! I meant that I got what I deserved at the time (no sour grapes!) -- I'm goin…

Hey, congrats on your 169. That's an excellent score, especially for such a short schedule. A 172+ in June is definitely within reach. Best of luck as you prepare for June - sounds like you got this in the bag.
Thanks, stgl !
I think it's still worth foolproofing old logic games. If you can crush the 2 standard games in 10-12 minutes, then you have 20+ minutes left to attack the the 2 games that are more challenging. If you haven't foolproofed the old games, then you'll …
Unless you're getting the Alcohol Free version, keep in mind that ZZZquil is about 10% alcohol by volume. You might feel a tad groggy when you wake up -- but you'll probably still feel a lot better than if you hadn't slept. I'm going to use ZzzQuil …
Like Sami says, it's about the strength of the claim. None, Some, Most and All are the most common for quantities. For probability, there's "Could occur" "Likely to occur" and "Will occur".
In the context of LSAT prep, it seems that "Modality" is…
