@"Alex Divine" I definitely have started to look for structure more. It is one of the things that is a constant battle for me to do but it also probably will give me a bit more focus reading. Thanks for the tips!
-
Congrats! I think you made a great decision!
-
Thanks for the advice y'all! @Shivani that is what I am having to do a lot of times. It does take discipline sometimes not to move to the AC's in the sake of time; that is when I usually miss a question and waste more time. @jkatz1488 I'm definite…

Thanks y'all! @ppcoelho1 yeah its during timimg. I'm usually at starbucks when I work on this so I'm usually loaded up on caffine haha. Under no time I'm ok because I can slow down a bit, something I can't do under timed conditions. @RafaelBernard…

That would beyond suck! I don't think it would be this year though. I think LSAC is smart enough to understand the gravity of a change like this. I would expect some sort of major anouncement with at least a year notice. That way, no one who has bee…

I agree. Thanks again for the information and advice! I appreciate hearing from someone who has been there and done that.
-
Well I'm about to start the mastering phase. I wanted to have a few sets that I haven't seen at all since having seen a question before causes some bias. Now there are a few sections that I have used them all up because nothing was clicking. I just…

@AlexanderCM said: My advice thus far, as a fellow newbie who is also studying for the September 2017 test: A ) Leave the example videos paused in the Core Curriculum and try and solve the question first to 100% certainty (use the Blind R…

I think that fits me quite well. However, I haven't had alot of opportunities to do volunteer work during undergrad because I had to work to support myself on top of school. Are they looking for volunteer work or would a great personal statement be …
-
This is a decision I recently made. If you honestly don't think you'll be ready to score your goal score then push it back to September. I had to be really honest with myself and realize I wasn't even close. Don't waste an attempt when you're not ab…

@danielznelson thank you for the insight! I really appreciate it and am encouraged! Real quick though, what is the "type" of student UVA is looking for? Also, how do employers evaluate students without rankings? GPA? @thisissparta thank you for put…

I hear you on the struggle to read effectively and quickly on LR; that section has always given me trouble speed wise. I think from what I can tell, you are getting stuck on the time sinking questions that just eat up precious seconds. I don't know …
-
Ahhh ok! Well dang, looks like UVA will be a stretch for me. My goal for the LSAT was about 168-170 though its not too far away from that.
-
What do you mean by a splitter position?
-
@"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 my combined GPA will pr…
-
Thank you @TheMikey and @apublicdisplay for your help! I agree with the conclusion part. It has been a focus of mine to better understand those on LR across the board and it has helped tremendously. I think it is an interesting approach not to pred…

@mnr12345 Anytime! Yeah, LSAC likes their money. They'll nickel and dime you as much as they can haha
-
I feel like there is a fine line between frustration and burnout though it varies person to person but I feel like that line hovers around your sense of drive. Frustration for me usually happens in a case similar to yours. For example, SA questions…
-
I'm glad I could help y'all not feel bad about pushing it back. It shows maturity and a true grasp of where you are at. Studying for school and this is tough as well. I actually was in that boat a year ago and ultimately decided to push the LSAT off…
-
Thanks! I appreciate it!
-
I'm interested @"J.Y. Ping"! Should be able to get off work for this!
-
Thanks @sarahmelton6 and @spitzy11. Its tough but I know we'll all fare better when we take it when we're ready.
-
I would definitely say read the passage first and not the question(s). First, your main focus should be on the passage and understanding it; its redundant to me to read a questions 2 separate times. The other part and probably most important part in…
-
Thanks @JustDoIt and @"Alex Divine"! I appreciate the support! I definitely feel better about being able to get a high score now with a couple more months to master everything.
-
@DByrne07 this is great! I'm taking the same path myself and am definitely encouraged by your results! Keep it up!
-
@attalla253 Exactly! You only get a couple of shots at this. I'd rather bet on myself and my commitment than take a test in June that I may not be prepared for because I rushed myself and left a ton of potential on the table.
-
Thanks @"Not Ralph Nader" I definitely hope I don't have to push back law school back another year again. I'm extremely focused on applying this fall. I'm almost done with the CC but I know the mastery part will be next and I just know with 2 months…
-
I'd be interested but as a server at a restaurant, and entire weekend at night is almost impossible to get off. If there are any workshops offered later on during the weekdays, I'd be down.
-
Dang my work schedule won't let me do this; I work nights as a server. Definitely hope there are more!!!

picks jaw off the ground again even better!!!
