Lol I love reading the abbreviation of my username as I read people's comments... It always takes me a second to realize people are mentioning me and not just brain farting "and x, y, z **BLAH** so and so" But to the point, yes, a breakdown of you…

Hey Matt! First of all, you're at a really great place -- do not be disparaged by your diagnostic score. Depending on what your weaknesses are, you could take the test as early as June (I have friends who had worse diagnostic scores and scored in th…

They have an inverse relationship, meaning that no valid inference can be made about the two (/A --> C is the inverse of A--> /C)

@emli1000 I'm right there with you. Making mistakes NOW means that I'm given a list of all the things that I can work on to improve my performance. How great is it that we're given feedback along with the TIME to improve ourselves?
-
Yes yes yes! And, if you were put in the situation where you had to guess on the real day, I'd be much more comfortable and more accurate when guessing the details since I already have an understanding of the big picture (I also tested this theory o…

I think it depends on 1) making sure you don't run out of PTs and 2) if you think you need to. When I took the real test in February, I didn't feel fatigued at all and I rarely took 5 or 6 section PTs. The reason my score was much poorer than I had …
-
I'm the same exact way too. I rarely notate, and if I do notate, it's only to get an understanding of what I'm reading, not really meant as something that I'm going to refer back to (except I do underline the author's opinion). After I read the pass…
-
I've done 2 back to back too but I felt it was personally an excessive way of improving my mental stamina. Instead, I took 6 section PTs -- usually incorporating one RC section and one LR section.
-
I don't read the question stems before I read the passage but I do read the question stems and skip around. I rarely complete RC questions in the order given, usually starting with the higher level questions first (e.g, MBT, MP, AA) and then attacki…

I've been having the same issue but honestly have tried to hard to find it. I know there is a study calendar option but I don't know how to create/upload one
-
studypal.co is a website that allows you to find study buddies who are studying for the same test as you and may be in your area. You can form study groups or share study calendars
-
Oh wow! The studypal thing sounds so cool. Can you link us? I think it'd be really neat to see how different people are studying and approaching retakes @ddakjiking
-
@emli1000 Those are usually variants of MBT questions. You can only fill in the blank what you can properly infer from the stimulus.
-
Even the ones that aren't common still have some discernible patterns. Make a list of the uncommon questions that trip you up and make sure to add to that list every time you take a PT. Once you see like 5 of the same questions, think of similaritie…

I'm more in line with jdawg. The difference between a 173 and a 178 is astronomical both in terms of acceptances and scholarship opportunities. The worst is you prepare to study, realize you're not averaging in the high 170s, and cancel, or cancel b…
-
@"Jonathan Wang" I've been pondering this counterargument for a while as I think the "slippery slope" argument is quite attractive. I want to address both points you made, starting with why we should have disability accommodations if leveling the pl…

“The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.” There is no time like the present
-
@emli1000 OMG am I right there with you...
-
Echoing what @ddakjiking and @emli1000 have said, I would highly retake if Northwestern is your goal. You could very well have a compelling personal statement and situation where Northwestern would make an exception to take you given their normal ad…

Manhattan. Went from high 160s to low-mid 170s. Echoing what Jonathan Wang mentioned in a different thread, "misreading" is still a product of not understanding LSAT fundamentals. The LSAT is designed to create "misreading" opportunities and exper…
-
I'd be down for that too -- I'm pretty amenable
-
@emli1000 I think GPA + personal statements help once you're within a certain band of scores. However, if you're below the 25% of top schools, they most likely won't look at other parts of the application.
-
@"James Dean" I know it sucks to have to delay the future. In my experience (I've delayed for about 2 years now), the worst is having to tell your friends and family who know that you want to go to law school that you're delaying again. Even if they…
-
EYOOOOOOOO checking in to this thread. SOLIDARITY GUYS WE CAN DO THIS!!!!
-
I also just saw your score for DC. You're in the 170s or close if you can bring that games section to a donut (-0). Do the foolproof method for games and look at games over and over and over again.
-
I'm so sorry to hear what happened. Think about what went wrong for you on test day. If you think getting a flat tire messed you up for the entire test, then this time around is all about preparing in all kinds of testing conditions to increase ment…

@pritisharma I scored lower too. We got this come June!

THAT'S MY WORST FEARRRRRRRRR @emli1000

Has anybody in California received their scores??
