  • Just from seeing the little icon preview of the youtube video for an LG explanation I dislike it already. That harvesting LG is pretty simple and straight forward. Whatever is going on with the way they diagram is super confusing/messy/hard to follo…
  • Start the CC again from scratch unless you were scoring a high 160. If you were scoring a high 160 and aiming for a 170+ then I would just start drilling and figure out your weaknesses, go back to the cc as needed. Don’t start PTing again until your…
  • It is the national government that must save the environment. Can be read as: the national government is required to save the environment. In order to save the environment, the national government is necessary. Just replace must with “is necess…
  • I've been working for almost 5 years and my resume was at a page. You really shouldn't need more than one or two bullets per job description. Just include the most important sounding tasks you did, any awards/recognitions/major achievements. Re volu…
  • I didn’t cry when I totally bombed an RC section lol and just took it as a sign that I need to actually finish the RC curriculum so I can maintain my 170. Maintaining a positive attitude throughout all this is new for me
  • @Hamaseh_S said: Thank you all for your advice. The reason I asked this was because ... I've been studying hard since January but unfortunately in this last month I've burned out so much that I literally have no attention for the test. I'…
  • People whisper/talk/hold loud meetings/generally do whatever they want in public libraries. It's fine to have your app low volume on speaker. But, I dont think headphones will have a tremendous effect on your adjusting to the real LSAT conditions. J…
  • you're probably just running out of black ink lol
  • I just want to throw out there that accepting a plan means absolutely nothing definitive. Any comments on this are entirely speculative. This may as well say they are strongly considering possibly one day in the next 2 decades enacting the decision …
  • I second what ellewoods and everyone above said! After you keep practicing low-res summaries and the memory method, you can pretty much still have that same disinterest, but you'll know to hone in on the important parts. For now just pretend to be i…
  • @"Leah M B" thank you for your comment! I’m gonna FP like 35-60 for now. I saw a comment that @Alex made recently emphasizing that the questions are structured a bit differently from 50 and up so I think it would be better to get more familiar wit…
  • This is kinda tacky but I use sticky notes Anything around the questions can be erased easily and then just put a big sticky note or two at the bottom of the page where you drew out any gameboards. Just put a fresh sticky note whenever you do a r…
  • @LindsMitch said: @"surfy surf" Just so you know, you can buy the cheaper package with Spivey and then upgrade to the full $5,000 package if you do end up needing additional help with scholarships or waitlists. The upgrade is just the differen…
  • If you can afford it and you have a decent amount of time to perfect your app and apply early, then I think it is worth it. I dont think it's worth it to pay for a consultant it in like November and then try to get your apps in within a few weeks. I…
  • get a good lsat score, apply broadly, negotiate, and only accept the school that gives you a full ride.

  • Yeah I agree happiness is overrated and I think in certain nations it’s something really overly promoted and it’s detrimental to people’s emotional wellbeing. Like the American dream. You have to be deliriously happy all the time otherwise there’s s…
  • @NotMyName said: @"surfy surf" then they will re-evaluate my app and send me a new scholarship offer. I think this is in accord with what I posted. I'm not of the belief that more scholarship money has never and will never be…
  • Retake the game along with JY. Watch the rules/initial game board set up. Pause the video. Try to figure out the inferences yourself. Play the video, figure out what inferences you missed. Pause the video, draw out any possible worlds. Play the vide…
  • Around a month and a half. I did one new section twice (2nd time to review), then repeated the section I did the day before, and repeated the section I did a week before. 3 sections a day. ~2 hrs a day.
  • Yes they can take a retake into consideration after being accepted and yes you can get an increased scholly from it. And yes it can even get admissions to reconsider a rejection and it has happened before. Tbh above commenter is misinformed. There…
  • IDK what political correctness and Indian accents have to do with any of this but good for you for wasting time in your life to hassle someone over the phone. There's no reason to think that someone named Jeffrey working in DC cant have an Indian ac…
  • Everything you said is accurate. You either gamble on June with only a few 170s under your belt, or you take September with a solid amount of 170+s, pretty much ensuring you’ll score close to your PT range. I'm on the same boat as you. I'm thinking …
  • @FixedDice said: @"surfy surf" said: Don’t most schools make you agree to not work during your first year? That's what I heard too (Penn, for example). But OP seems to be talking about PT programs, which might operate diffe…
  • @"m.c lshopeful" said: Lots of people work full-time and study for the LSAT. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but schools are not going to care at all and I would recommend against writing to that effect. Yeah it would be really odd for s…
  • Don’t most schools make you agree to not work during your first year?
  • I think after a certain period of time you can’t add anything additional to your app through LSAC. I would contact the school directly to see what your options are.
  • @"Cant Get Right" that 80% confidence level mind-set is gonna be tremendously useful to me, thank you. Although I am really at my first PT since going through the CC for my 2nd time ( @LastLSAT was right to point that out), I had been focusing on LR…
  • @"Return On Inference" said: @"surfy surf" said: If you have additional time during your PT to go back over some questions you circled, do you still leave them for BR if you feel certain about your AC? Yes, always. Because if…
  • @LastLSAT said: I basically went about BRing the same way as you, and I am almost always somewhere between - 0 and - 2 on LR (combined, both sections). Got a 172 on the real thing in Feb., but currently planning to retake for 175+ in Sept sinc…
  • @"Return On Inference" said: My BR is pretty similar, usually doesn't take me any more than an hour to BR my full PT. I'm a lot more cautious with my BR though and I'll circle anywhere from 7-11 questions per section. Usually all that's r…
