I have a friend who got into YLS (and many other T-14 this cycle) who would be interested in helping you. His driving belief is that the conventional wisdom on softs is way off, since he got in on a 171 and what would be labelled T3 softs.

Personally I prefer not to have to worry about bubbling. I also find the digital interface much quicker for identifying questions to hit in subsequent rounds. I do wish you could see what answers you picked for the rest of the…
Thanks for a great topic @EagerestBeaver ! Like many here, I am participating in this cycle and have a few thoughts about what is likely driving the trend. Since 2015, I have been considering law school and only got around to applying this cycle; ye…

After doing the LG and RC parts of 7Sage, I'm struggling with LR questions. It's only been a few weeks since I finished LR but I'm having trouble remembering the question types and tactics. Currently, I'm going back to each q…

Hi folks,
I just registered for the June test, so that's 3 months away. I've been studying since Jan and PT avg 158 (goal of 160-165). LG is actually my consistently highest score (avg -5 or so) with LR and RC between…

What form of studying does the majority of your practicing consist of?
Is it times practice, with blind review after? Or is the majority strictly untimed, with an additional blond review right after? And for the prepte…

I came across this one over 6 months ago, and I'm not sure if I can accurately answer it even now. It just feels like a ridiculous ju…

According to LSAC statistics, applicant LSAT scores are way up this year, so I’m guessing that the shorter test is preferable to most people.
Not be a pain, but that's assuming causation from correlation ;-)

Take a break. It looks like maybe you have? I think RC is trickiest to study for because there are diminishing returns to studying intensively. The passages are purposefully written poorly and so even very dedicated students end up playing proverbia…
@XihangYang said:
I think you definitely can take a break. The goal of blind review is to know your real ability to solving those problems. A break will give your more potential to try your best.
This is right. From the question, I am concer…

Hey guys I need some advice. I have been studying on and off since October 2020 for the LSAT due to military deployments. I took one diagnostic and scored a 140. I really need a 165 or 170, any advice on how to study for t…

One big moment for me was recognizing that the "arrow" has meanings in both directions, not just one. Yes, SC leads to NC, BUT SC "demands" (from your example) the NC. "Writing requires a pencil." is enough to conclude. W-->P.
Let me know if tha…

I like Tony's strategy. It's not bad advice since the time invested in improving RC could likely help you more on a point for point basis in other sections.

He read everything. Arts&Letters I got from him. So, he read that. But also book-length stuff on economics. The important thing wasn't what, it was dedicating time to reading like it was a job. But of course, you'd also need to ask certain quest…
This is the right idea. Let me also add that you might want to up the ratio of normal reading to RC reading. There are in my view sharply diminishing returns on studying RC repetitively, in short because the passages are meant to be difficult. The m…
Thanks for checking out so kindly ToniB! Can't wait 'til you get back! I did not know this, but you can actually still use the discussion boards and a lot of the content here without a paid membership.
From the way you ask the question, I think the answer is yes. I believe I am in the same boat, but allow me to explain my thinking.
There are more lawyers than stable jobs requiring JDs. Top law schools have therefore become a selection mechanism f…
