I definitely know the 164 was a result of a lack of focus, given that three missed questions were due to misreads and three others were the result of inexplicably eliminating the correct answer choice (I mean, I don't even think I actually read the …

That's a really good plan to work with. I think I'm going to go with that. Thanks much! This will help a lot
-
@ellie1991 That's ridiculous. Do you know if you are going to contact LSAC about this? I'm not sure if it is recommended to do so with an issue like this, but that's a huge deal. I'd be livid.
-
@ellie1991 That's awful. Was the time at least eventually extended?
-
I second the Alleve recommendation, though I've had to take Nexium periodically as a result of taking it. I've had chronic back pain since high school (I'm 24 now) and was in pain nonstop unless I ingested loads of ibuprofen. With this test, I most …

Thank you both. And I didn't think about keeping an LOR for potential wait lists. If I decide to pursue a professional LOR at all, maybe I'll use it for that. But I'm quite convinced I'll be just fine with my three academic LORs. Thanks again!

More personality v. shorter length - Do admissions officers prefer a clean and concisely met minimum (two pages, for example) over a half-to-full page longer personal statement with more emotion and personal background to it?
-
Obviously outside the immediate realm of movies and shows but the entire Ace Attorney series is an awesome video game series. I think the original trilogy is in iOS.
-
This was pretty much how you could characterize my progress. I guess our brains gradually and subtly synthesize everything together and a major boom in scores results. Definitely not a fluke and don't stop what you're doing!

@DaveH162 Thanks! I actually have the app and thought they had such a feature... but forgot about it entirely. Maybe I thought I had only dreamed about it? Who knows. But this will be a huge help. Thanks again.

I would definitely focus on providing a variety of settings, but not necessarily in terms of noisiness. I actually thought about purposely finding a noisier environment, but there really isn't anything to gain aside from a potential, psychological …

I think the consistency in your RC and LG sections puts you in a very good spot. LG, I think, is best studied for through the Cambridge packets. I do them untimed and try to review and grade every ten I do before moving on to more. This allows me to…

I agree with your point on full pages being more visually appealing, which is a secondary reason as to why I noted my few lines on my third page. And I also agree that they can always be whittled down (mine was at about four as well). I had it just …
-
I already did, haha.
-
If the desired length is "around two pages," do schools look down on statements slightly longer than two and/or view favorably those right at or under two? My current draft (which is close to my final) is just a few sentences over two pages, if that…

By "everything" they only mean certain sectors of law. Fields including lower-income families, families with special needs, et cetera, are relatively understaffed. There are alcoves hidden from big law, government jobs, et cetera. Besides, markets e…
-
Haha, @badgalriri they do supposedly offer coupons from time to time, though I couldn't find one that worked.
-
I would actually rather not use a watch at all than use anything other than The 180 Watch. Fidgeting around with a tiny gadget proved to be too distracting and anger-inducing for me. Then again, maybe I'm the real problem.
-
I'm totally with you @DumbHollywoodActor, or at least was. I don't like the purchase I made, but I figured even if it were to end up being completely useless, I would be out $60. For me, the decision to buy the watch was a risk averse one. For other…
-
Excellent tip. Is there typically just one per section?
-
Exactly the same as @alexandergreene93
-
I'd say it's very possible, given I reached a 168 in less time and with a score worse than a 158. You will get faster with time, don't worry. But it happens without you really realizing it. Everything you do in regards to studying for the test gradu…
-
Thanks for the input, guys. Usually, it comes down to the specifics. The abstract I nail. The generalities are fine. Often, it's silly mistakes, such as missing an EXCEPT question along the lines of "all of the following are mentioned in the passage…
-
Drilling has always improved my score more than anything. The Cambridge sets are good for that.
-
I love articles like these. Ever since I was a 10-year-old holding mock trials during lunch hour (yes, probably everyone hated me after a few days of that schtick), I've wanted to be a lawyer. With the right intentions and passions at hand, I am ful…

Thanks @"Dr. Yamata"

Are you able to use sharpeners even electric during the actual sections? Or do you have to wait for breaks? I recently beat mine to it's death... became so angry and just couldn't take it anymore. I took a unhung chalkboard to that little bastard.
-
I don't think I've ever caught that subtle difference in the question itself. Interesting...
-
Yeah, I think I'm going to have to rewire my route to obtaining the correct answer, rather than nixing choices with different quantifiers. I do fine with these questions overall, but there are a few that have introduced something like I mentioned an…

That's a perfect answer, thanks! I've totally forgotten to consider the ambiguity of "many" or "some" to potentially be consistent with "most." Thanks again!
