Glad to hear the webinar was helpful for you! Yes, start drilling LG right away. It doesn't matter much IMO if you drill initially by type of game, I think I started off by foolproofing the games I was exposed to in the core curriculum and then movi…

Yeah, you should pursue discovering the cause of that lack of focus. Try to maintain the active reading all the way through the test (stamina training, mostly). You'll do great, it's up from here!

"Try to reach your very best score..." skip it theme song is on point for LSAT Preppers. See you all on Tuesday night!

First of all, way to tackle the core curriculum! Congrats on hitting that huge milestone! I appreciate your dedication to mastering the fundamentals, you seem to be approaching much of this in what I consider to be a smart way. Your next phase of pr…

Take your last five PTs, average your score. Unless you have a real outlier and you know why (you were very sick when you took it or something), that is the most indicative of your current level of performance. I had two plateaus, high 160s for a wh…

You can do it! It is a lot... but remember why you want that awesome LSAT score!

Yeah, if you follow Pacifico's method you'll be in good shape. If you need to drill games more than 4x, do so, just be sure to spread it out. I began to work through the bundle as I learned how to do certain games in the core curriculum (so I would …

I titled mine, though only because I knew the title early on and it helped me shape the piece conceptually. My PS was on the literary side, so it seemed appropriate. I don't think this is a big deal at all. However if you include a title, make sure …
-
Yeah it's really about memorizing how to make the inferences, and you test that by returning to the same games you have already drilled on another day. Then do it again after two weeks or so - Pacifico's method is pretty solid. You can tweak it for …

@MrSamIam thanks for tuning in!
-
Thanks all for the encouragement everyone! I'll watch the video and send those PMs.

I second the yoga recommendation. If you can get to a vinyasa class 1-3x/wk, it could really help your back. I felt awesome when I was consistently doing yoga and taking 3 PTs/wk.
-
It's just practice. Follow Pacifico's attack strategy, and once you are done with the whole LG bundle, you will either already be pretty fast or you will just need to push yourself to pick up the pacing if you are double checking answers or somethin…
-
Yeah, I would say don't worry, you seem to have a decent handle on the games and you probably need practice with unanticipated "twists", as well as working an entire section at once. Sometimes you just have to push yourself to move to the next game …
-
Have you done the entire LG bundle (games from 1-35)? Were you eventually able to do those games under JY's suggested times? Maybe you haven't had enough exposure to the diversity of games, and now it is catching up. I would suggest interpreting thi…

I finished it a couple days ago. My gut is unsure on Avery, but that poor Dassey kid... My thoughts: - We did not get enough background on the EDTA test; obviously a positive finding would be conclusive, but is a negative finding conclusive?? Why w…
-
Thanks! @BruiserWoods my diagnostic was 156.
-
@noobie1 I remember feeling like I was taking far too long on the core curriculum. I pushed back my PT start date 2 times. For reference, at 40-50hrs/wk, the fundamentals took me about three months to master. That is including the time to memorize a…
-
Thanks @nicole.hopkins this was a helpful read.
-
Can you be more specific about you personal goals? Would you be happy scoring around the same as your diagnostic score? (have you taken a diagnostic yet?) If you want to improve, you need to push back when you take the test and actually study. Your …
-
Untimed tests basically don't count as actual PTs. Having all the time in the world completely changes your score. Don't take any more untimed tests; take them timed and then BR them afterward. Your current untimed scores are probably closer to BR s…
-
I would recommend going for a short run when you wake up (20 mins will suffice). Exercise is better than coffee to wake you up, though usually I still have coffee too!
-
It always depends on who you talk to. I think it is more likely that the test didn't click with you or play to your strengths. The 70s are a bit different and do take a little adjustment, but they aren't necessarily more difficult (with possible exc…
-
I think it's worth it for the practice. You'll probably score at or somewhat below your current average. Or you could get your best score on test day - always possible. So it doesn't seem like there is much downside for you to take it in Dec. Also i…
-
You are close, but you probably won't score that 172 unless you're at least averaging around172... you need to often be hitting above that to expect it on test day. Have you taken before? You could sit for December, see what happens, and plan a reta…
-
One specific piece of advice: If you are very solid on games but occasionally screw one up, I would suggest ALWAYS double checking your rules on each game. I started doing this and my accuracy went way up. You will never misread a rule and go into t…
-
Hmm maybe that is the case... if the stimulus in LR is more likely to be simpler (by that I mean only one issue) in earlier tests, then yes you can go into answer choices with a little less clarity and hunt for the right answer. It might be more obv…
-
75 is also my best score so far, though I noticed it played to my strengths and went easy on my weaknesses... more difficult RC and three relatively easy LGs. For LR, however, I think there is more precision in the 70's series, rather than vagueness…

Are your LSAT score and UG GPA not taken into account in the transfer process??

@knringrose @"Julia L" count me in if you BR together! Tacoma's not so far, maybe we can meet up in Federal Way.
