A 4.03 GPA plus a 170-173 LSAT makes you viable for Yale (have multiple friends who had a 4.0 GPA, 172 and got into Yale). I would HIGHLY recommend taking since you clearly have most of the chops to get a 170+ score.
Also, somebody mentioned Berke…
4.0 + 165 will probably get you into some Top 10s, but I don't know if you'l break into the Top 6. Those schools (YHS, CCN) tend to love traditional splitters and tend to seek out 170+ LSAT.
Solidarity Amanda. My plan moving forward is to only do the BR groups and limit PTs to 1-2 a week and not throw the rest of my life by the wayside. I know how much this test means to you, as I too feel the weight of the test, so just trying our best…
@"Dr. Yamata" Perhaps my post was a little misleading. I've actually been studying off and on for 2 years, and really going hard for about a year. I do agree that it's worth it to immerse yourself in the test and to put in the time and sacrifice. Th…
@brna0714 I should have read your thread first before I posted my discussion, which deals with the "philosophical" component behind why we both tanked on the LSAT. TL;DR it's our mental state and we blew the test out of proportion (aka as something …
I didn't actually use anything other than blueprint for LG and had been scoring consistently -0/-1 (though we'll see if that trend holds true.. Curse you PT 75)!
I used the Trainer as a refresher to fill in any gaps in knowledge left by 7sage or Ma…
I'm going to push back a little and say you should drill by question type as well as taking timed sections. Drilling by question types helps solidify muscle memory (so to speak). It'll help you develop a game plan for specific question types that wi…
Congratulations! Use this test to figure out what went well for you by comparing to a test you didn't do as well on. Did you notice that the stimuli were shorter? That the answer choices were more predicable? Were the NA/ weaken questions you usuall…
The best they can do is give you a refund so you can retake it. Unless proctor/testing center is absolutely egregious, nothing else will change -- at least from what I've heard.
Yes, I was averaging in the mid 170s and fell to a consistent 168/169 until I could adjust back up to a low 170. The greatest advantage to mixing up your PTs is the psychological component. In my opinion, the last thing you want to experience is tak…
A couple of notable changes:
1) Ordering of LR questions has changed such that the difficulty is less predictable. It's not so cookie cutter as "10 in 10."
2) The stimuli have gotten longer, meaning you have more convoluted language to parse through…
I would HIGHLY recommend mixing them up. I mixed up the 30s, 40s, and 50s and felt really prepared because I felt like I could tackle any twist LSAT writers threw at me. Then, I got owned by the 60s and REALLY wished I had added those into the mix.
I wouldn't write an addendum for June, maybe write one for December. I think it's really hard to write an addendum that doesn't come off as whiny or as a way to save face. You have a compelling reason for why you decided to cancel December. If I was…
I actually think that approach is dangerous. It's sufficient for easier weaken questions but the most important thing about weaken/strengthen question is to tackle the assumption, and it's relationship to the conclusion. Harder weaken questions will…
All I could think this time around was, "What is my life?" Felt solid on RC which I never feel and felt destroyed by LG and god knows what on LR. What a topsy turvy day! And I got a parking ticket to boot!
Excuse me while I drink myself into a stup…
Careful with timing, super quiet and respectful, and hyper efficient. Didn't spend more than 30 minutes setting up and 5 minutes packing things up. The only downside is that they didn't give a 5 minute warning. Some might consider that a blessing be…
There will never be a modifier or quantifier shift between the passage and the right answer. It's actually one of the fastest ways to eliminate wrong answers.
