you can still get into a good school with money if you take in December. it really just depends on the school and how that cycle is going by the time you apply.

I wouldn't say "study" the words, but if I find a word I don't know the meaning to, then I google it :P

waive your rights. it is theist preferred thing to do because it shows that the person writing the LOR is a credible person. how would it look to a law school if you didn't waive your rights to a LOR because maybe you wanted to check it to make sur…

ask them for 1 general LOR and then you send their 1 letter to different schools. if you want a school-specific LOR then you obv ask them for one regarding that specific school. but general LORs is just 1 from them for all schools, not a different …

I say go with 7sage find out what your weaknesses are and then I'd say get a tutor if you want. but def know your biggest weaknesses so you can use the tutor for that. tbh, just self-study, it is the best way to go so you can just focus on what y…

I don't know if that indicates you being naturally good at LR. Diagraming is supposed to just make things more visually clear, it's not at all necessary and is only there to assist you if needed. Tbh, I think it is so much easier to diagram stimuli…

@"vanessa fisher" said: @TheMikey Can I ask how much time you had in the interval between your 140 to 170? I have a hard time believing you jumped that much in a month, which is how much time vtm has, but hey you could always be an anomaly…

there may be a PT that plays more to your weaknesses, thus lowering your score. or maybe even the environment you're in can impact you. also, your mental state plays a huge role in how you do on a PT.

I think 7sage is sufficient enough to improve on games, especially if you just watch their free videos. Watch how JY sets up the games and just try to notice the patterns of the game boards for each game type. It takes a lot of practice, but you nee…

I've gone from a 140 something diagnostic to a 170 on my most recent PT, and I'm an idiot, so yes you can def improve. Drill the crap out of your weaknesses and when you PT do BR and target your weaknesses from that PT then drill the crap out of it.
-
lol yeah the LSAT sucks and makes me cry. it makes me feel like an incompetent moron but then I remember that LSAC banned LSAT specific watches for idiotic reasons and I don't feel as much of a moron anymore
-
I would say 2 PTs a week, 3 max. Def take at the very least a day between each though.. I've done back to back days of PTs and it wasn't my brightest idea, but that is just me.
-
used to happen to me with the 7sage proctor too. idk how I got over it, but I eventually just did.. I think it is just having quiet and then all of the sudden hearing something and getting startled. When it happens, just stop, take 5 seconds and tak…

hmm.. I've used 7sage at sbux before and never had a problem... it has to be their wifi if 7sage works in other places for you
-
I would say do at least from 70 and on before you sit for the exam. the ones before it you can use, but def have 70+ under your belt

CC --> Drill corresponding CC lesson --> PT --> Drill weaknesses/refer back to CC if needed --> PT
-
You can get good money with a score from either take. It really depends on the school and how that cycle has gone so far for a particular school.
-
harder ones are typically put in the middle or end of the section. there are PTs that have hard ones earlier on though, so just keep that in mind.
-
skip it then go back
-
just drill them
-
If they are heavy in logic that can be diagramed then I usually do (if it has a crap ton of most, some, only, etc statements). But if they aren't heavy in them, then no I usually don't.
-
If I feel 100% on a question, I just choose an AC and move on. If I don't feel confident then I circle the questions number and go back to it later.
-
@nathanieljschwartz said: I think its just a time sink for me. I cannot seem to get faster w them. So i end up skipping them. But then i get in my head that i cant solve them in time... and the rest is history Well, maybe try using intuition…
-
Well, what is it about these question types that makes you struggle? I would assume if you're doing well with formal logic and you go that route with these question types, then you should be doing fine with them..

You can for sure improve to a 160+. I've been in your shoes for a long time, so I know how it feels to not do so well and want better. What I did was focus HEAVILY on LR since it is half of the test. You want to be very very very strong in LR becaus…
-
GW is a reach, but I believe they place decent in IP although it may just be self-selection. On that note, don't go to a school for specialty rankings, go to a school with good employment stats for a good price. Also, mylsn for sure. Good luck!
-
Although this is true, I would say don't leave the context completely to the side. There are definitely questions where there is referential phrasing to something in the context, so you definitely want to keep it in mind is all. But I agree, there a…

I used to read a bit carelessly in LR, but tbh what worked for me was reading the stimulus slightly slower. If there are keywords, I typically circle them since you have to be extra careful with them (most, only, only if, some...and so on..) Also re…

Yeah, I typically do try to predict what the answer could be. But with your pre-phrase, you still need to keep an open-mind because the right AC might be something completely different to what you anticipate.
