what I do is take notes when I BR - break down the arg, break down what's write/wrong in the acs. then I write down my recollection as to why it is that I circled the question for BR, what it is that I struggled with. Then I write what I learned fro…

I don’t think you would be considered an “international student” since you are getting your bachelors in the US. Not sure if law schools put any weight on whether or not one is a citizen...

@ChaimtheGreat said: I would like to second this question. I just searched through 7sage and found -- Johnathan Wang - Presence of comparative reading and substitution LG question means post-December 2008. Past that it's impossible to k…

I BR by just reprinting the passage and doing an untimed take. I read the passage and do a low-res summary, then go through the qs. I try to answer solely based off my low-res and memory, and then I write down the line number that the answer relates…

I’ve been taking the PTs at random but my very first PT upon redoing 7sage was PT38 and I got a 170. Then I took PT70s and got 163-165. PT61 i took after taking a few PT70s and I got a 168. Then took more in the PT70s and my score dipped back down t…

@kimmy_m66 said: I don’t think anyone is scoffing at the idea of taking time off, but rather at OP’s seeming inability to understand why everyone doesn’t take the time off. As I’ve said, if you have savings or parents to pay for your time off,…

But at the same time, for those 5 years you spent working in (for example, a 30k/year paralegal job) while studying for the LSAT, if you have had just gotten the LSAT done in 9 full time months, you could've already finished law school and been m…

More power to you. Just note that a lot of schools do have a section asking you to explain any gaps in your work history. So ultimately if you don’t score well in the percentile range of the schools you want to apply to...it really won’t look good t…

I’m plateaued af at 165. it’s an improvement from a 159 on the lsat last year so its something.

nope

no. thankfully, nepotism doesnt work for LORs. LORs should be from professors who can speak on your academic success. admissions wants to know how you'll do in school, not who you know.
-
Why wouldn’t you be able to bring prep books with you and take the lsat while you’re in the peace corps?

Really doubt anyone got a 170+ with little effort. And if they did then they’re in for a big surprise in law school when they realize they need to study and aren’t just going to naturally know the law. You’re at an advantage by dedicating yourself t…

I do it once timed, then redo the whole thing untimed immediately after. Then watch the videos and if there’s anything diff between my set up and JYs, I write it out along w JY and pause the vid to try to make my own inferences. Then do it the next …

Vitamins. Exercise. Healthy eating.

I slowly BR over the course of a week while still drilling. Probably takes me an hour+ per section. I’ve started handwriting notes to force me to slow down and really catch all the nuances. I agree that in the long run it’s probably better to go thr…

Should you visit the school before applying so you can write a solid why X essay? Do this for each school? Just for your top choice? Just for reach schools?

@s_jricke said: I think the distraction tool is awesome. I've been testing for months with distractions at seven or eight on the app and I'm pretty sure I could score a 170+ with someone's head getting chopped off in the next room at this poin…

If you're studying full time then sure it could happen. But, like LastLSAT said, if you are able to hit a 166+ by July, why not aim for 170+ at a later test date?

There were some schools that I applied to which did not require a "why law" component. But my coworker joked that upon reading my PS one would wonder why I dont just surf professionally instead of going to law school. Not really the question I want …

I think the 7sage app is really extra. Unless you live in a dead silent neighborhood, PTing with a window open at home should be fine. I PT on weekends and my neighbors are always out and about making a lot of noise well beyond what you would hear…

@Rtwrtw8 said: For T6, I'd say it might matter and even then barely. But for tier 2 schools definitely not. Edit: I'd also check their websites to see if they have a FAQ on this. I know some t14 schools like Cornell and Berkeley do have …
