I believe accounts turn grey in the afternoon with scores being released from then on out. You may have to wait a while before you actually get yours. I doubt LSAC will notify when accounts turn grey, just when your actual score is released.
-
Icons regarding your take and it's score will go from green to grey, indicating your scores are about to be released. In the past, people have proclaimed the day by stating they've "gone grey." It is also a very fitting name aside from the very lit…

@orangebeer Sorry I wasn't clearer. Firstly, you're right that a larger test room is better; I meant to recommend a test center that will likely have few people. I knew, for example, that my test center would both have a large room and perhaps 30 pe…
-
It probably depends on how much, which may depend on the center/proctor. I was given at my test center an entire table which extended six or seven seats. I unfortunately have chronic back pain as well, so it was much to my benefit that I was able to…

There are some people on 7Sage with GPAs at or below yours, yet were able to make it into great law schools, even T14 ones. Your diagnostic was several points higher than mine and many others. I and these many others have managed to increase by 20+ …

@combsni Will that professor be writing a letter of recommendation?

This is a bit off topic but definitely get used to whatever it is you decide to eat on the morning of the real test. I tried eating something I had never eaten for breakfast before, and combined with my adrenaline, it was all but impossible eating m…

I was as well. I thought for sure we'd have to wait until Monday or Tuesday at best. But I have my hopes up given they sometimes release over the weekend. And I have my issues with PowerScore, but their blog has a lot of valuable information not s…

@draj0623 http://blog.powerscore.com/lsat/bid/153643/LSAT-Score-Release-Dates-Scheduled-vs-Actual-Comparison-2004-2016 Honestly, based off of this, I think we'll have to wait until at least the weekend. But I hope I'm wrong.

I definitely wouldn't try to cheat at all with the formatting. Even a slight difference could stand out among the hundreds of other personal statements. Whittling down is tough for sure. But you'd be surprised how much you can reduce just by rewordi…

I would vary it as much as possible, if only for the psychological benefit of feeling like you can be ready for anything. Go to the library, where people will inevitably be talking and to an empty college classroom. Sit in an environment where peopl…

I think you pose a good question when you ask what "reading for structure" looks like practically. That term is used a lot, though it's hard to define. One thing I more or less implicitly do is consider what certain terms, definitions, sentences, c…

How do you do on LR sections specifically? Are you making a lot of overconfidence errors, errors you catch in blind review, or errors you don't catch at all?
-
@legal_name I do not think there was one in the real section.
-
Basically what @"Cant Get Right" wrote, as I now see, haha.
-
Yeah, it's tough to say for sure, since it's gradual. Also, LSAC obviously doesn't view their tests so in neat, 1-10 ranges. "Common knowledge" is that 65+ is where things begin to change. But I must say, I really began to underperform on PT 70 on b…

I'd be happy to check them out! PM me, and I'll try to give a good opinion on your PS direction.
-
@"Cant Get Right" Hah! If that curve is what most are saying, I think I will. I can't imagine I'm the best for an RC webinar, but I think just about anyone could just follow verbatim @"Quick Silver"'s webinar and be just fine. Again, I'm happy the …
-
Wow, thanks guys! I would not have guessed my post be so valuable in the eyes of some. I may post an even more substantive and clearer version in the future. Some of what I mentioned could be explained better I think.
-
Aside from the more obvious tips like continued practice and engaged reading, I would recommend actively telling yourself you're interested in the passage, if you are not already. Acting the part can be a big help in your mind actually believing it.…
-
I think the biggest factor is whether you want to practice in-state or not. If you do, and if you've gained admission into a top state school with money, waiting a year probably wouldn't make much sense. Otherwise, you have little to nothing to lose…
-
As far as losing focus particularly in LR, I try to take each section on my own terms. I do this primarily by picking and choosing which questions I want to tackle before others as opposed to automatically going in order. I would only recommend this…

Plenty of people like the LSAT Trainer for RC. It does approach RC with the right mentality, in my opinion.

Finally found what I posted a while ago! Here are some specific strategies I use for questions. Also, there is a webinar led by QuickSilver I think regarding specific strategies for specific RC questions. *** As probably everyone finds, I see RC a…

Keeping up with RC worked best for me. I know that seems obvious, but increased familiarity with passages will do you wonders. Try drilling a passage or two a day with an occasional break (maybe once or twice a week) alongside PTs. Don't be afraid t…

Ahahaha, @"Cant Get Right" just saw that gif
