All right! Thanks!

Reviewing questions you're unsure about (and only those you're unsure about) allows you to really test your reasoning. If you still answered incorrectly any one question even after BR, your reasoning was off, and you are able to more clearly see tha…

@"Cant Get Right" Please don't hate me, everyone! http://25.media.tumblr.com/e16c9944294abfb9f38bc46629cf9413/tumblr_mz7ybdPPuK1sv6zdro6_r1_250.gif

@montaha.rizeq The individual minute marks are a bit clearer, in my opinion. I think this is because of the larger marks as well as the completely white face. This never really bothered me, since I only need an approximate time (within a minute or t…

Mastermind. The 180 Watch does a few things better, but the Mastermind watch can't be broken by accidentally hitting the reset button while the watch is going.

No problem. If I were wholly selfish, I'd still be all about answering your questions. Attempting to arrive at any meaningful conclusions is honestly very helpful for myself. Try browsing through 5-star weakening questions to see if you can find any…
-
Hmm... of that I'm not sure. I suppose it could theoretically and depending upon the question, but I can't think whether LSAC has used something like that. I imagine a weakening question like yours could look something like this practically: "Brow…
-
Good questions. I would say yes. If, for example, you were attempting to show that it was possible for Person A, who is suspected of having telekinetic abilities, to actually have these abilities, a strengthener could provide you of a case where it …

I remember wanting to so badly eliminate the correct AC. Since the question came down to three different ACs, all dealing with outside examples, I figured the question was doing something relatively novel. Really, the correct AC is demonstrating ot…

Are you only BRing questions you aren't certain about? Definitely do less if it's an issue. I don't think your struggles with BR are particularly unique. Honestly, I only BR a few questions at a time before taking a break or something. I go at it p…

@Daniel.Sieradzki We all want me to be wrong! I could of course argue people are overemphasizing the degree of difficulty, hoping they receive a generous curve, but it could just as easily be argued that I'm unconsciously preparing for the worse and…

I like how the December test is listed as "PT 80."
-
Yeah, if you couldn't even bubble in eight questions, cancel. If any law school actually cared about your two cancels, they'd probably just assume you were going for a near-perfect score and cancel if you didn't feel 100% about your performance.
-
Would you not be able to write an addendum for a messed-up score if it is the case that you messed up the entire section? You also don't know what you did. Unless you're certain or think there's almost no chance you bubbled in your answers correctly…
-
Are you planning on going to law school and not waiting out a year no matter what? If so, and if you're relatively close to where you would like to be, I'd recommend December. You may underperform, but if you're only willing to apply for next year, …
-
Aside from what's already been mentioned, try to make guaranteed selecting correct ACs for SAs and PSAs. Once you've mastered those, 9 out of 10 should take 30 seconds or so, especially a lot of the ones on newer tests.
-
Haha, gotcha. First read of a few of these comments, and they made it seem to me initially that it was the same test. I couldn't believe it.
-
This is crazy. I never knew this was a thing.
-
So they have to administer the same test, right?
-
Effective time management comes with PTing and time, along with a few learned tips along the way. You're in a good spot with your knowledge, it seems, and the biggest key to timing well is to know the material. Don't bull-rush through full-PTs or …
-
Is this the Alberto I've seen on BR calls? If not, definitely give them a go. I'm not one to do what many people call "socializing," but I eventually realized it was all but necessary to doing well during prep and staying positive (and perhaps most …
-
By how much are your scores decreasing? I imagine you're attempting to apply that which you've learned from the curriculum, and doing that is at first very unnatural, difficult, and mechanical. This often results in a decrease in score, as you aren'…
-
Ahahaha, I can't get over these. Thank you for posting this.
-
-10/-11. Would've gone -9, because of the easy 3 LG, but the last game did have six questions, as opposed to the normal five for weird games. Also, it seems LSAC is straying away from the extreme curves, both low and high, though I could be off on t…

@montaha.rizeq *Sigh*... I had someone from Kaplan tell me something similar to this as well - this was after a proctored practice test at my university and hosted by Kaplan. The instructor claimed I should expect a five-point increase and that ther…
-
I've been studying for about two years, and after about a year, I had increased my score by over twenty points. I don't think I'm a rarity in this regard, and if I am, it's because I had studied longer for the LSAT than have most other people. I r…

You'll be able to use the newest tests for retakes, so don't worry too much about having already used them. You went all in for September, and that's fine. By the time you get back to them, which I imagine would be mid-October/November, those tests …

@Micaela_OVO was extra time needed for everyone to go to the bathroom? If so, did the proctors give it?
-
PT 72. And I actually did relatively well on that test, but still a really brutal one. It is also the only test I've taken three times, and I've learned a lot from each take.
-
Yes. Definitely start/finish your personal statement, LORs, et cetera. Make an account on LSAC.org, which is where your LORs, transcripts, and scores will be. LOR requests may be sent via your account. Ask your university for an electronic transfe…
