The other circle game is from PrepTest B

Now I want to know how this bold approach works out for you. I love that you are willing to embrace the consequences of the approach you think works for you. Just because it is not "the usual" doesn't mean you can't do it. I think the responses you …

DO NOT TAKE. Maybe you are a complete outlier but if you plan to apply to Harvard I would know what you are doing on the LSAT first. I would prepare for the LSAT properly (5-9months) and then take the June LSAT. You would then apply to start LS in F…

Since you have Ultimate+ you will be able to get a good feel for how these sections are generally laid out once you start PTs by using the Analytics. They start with easier questions and progress to hard one as a general rule (but there are a few ex…

Be appropriately respectful of the test and utilize the skipping strategy. That will help prevent such wild fluctuations. Timing is very important for preventing drastic drops.

Try @"Nicole Hopkins" for tutoring or recommendations of others. She is awesome.

I think that should be enough time. The key is to take the LSAT when you are ready. If you are hitting your target by December that would be fine. If you are currently at 150 and your goal is 178 you may need more time. It depends on the individual.…

Some of my best scores have been after breaks so I would say getting recharged trumps all other considerations. Do not worry about 76-78. If you have time to glance at the games to make sure you are comfortable with them then that's cool. But I woul…

I think your plan sounds like a daring adventure. There is however a fine line between daring and foolish depending on your application quality and the norms for Top 25 schools. However, I doubt that you meant you were applying with a 2.9 GPA and a …

Do them even if it means just going through them without "taking them" as a timed PT. Just getting familiar with them is helpful. Obviously doing them as an "real PT" is better but if you are short on time at least going through them to understand t…

I would also say that this is not "typical" of this question type (necessary assumption). NA questions often have a little different flavor to them because the key piece does not appeal to analogy. Thus, this is particularly difficult if you are loo…

Well explained by @"blah170blah". I just did this PT and missed this question because I did not understand what they were getting at. The key is the fact that the reasoning appeals to analogy so the situations must be similar (i.e. analogous). Thus …

I would just BR/Review all the stuff in the 70's to really get a feel for HOW you are making mistakes and WHY you did not get questions you "usually" get right. That has made a big difference for me in similar situations.
-
I would personally rather take the LSAT when I felt ready versus rushing things to "get in early" but that is more about my personality and wanting to feel good about what I did on my end of things and has nothing to do with what is most advantageou…

Good to know. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.
-
I have never seen such a hilarious march of consistent progress in LSAT scores! That's great. It looks like you need to take 11 more tests!

There is a 7sage webinar you should check out on when to split
-
It depends on your schedule. I am a full-time teacher and a parent so when I get 3 hr 15 minute blocks I take PTs even if they stack because BR can be done in smaller chunks and I don't get a lot of large chunks. So it kind of depends on your schedu…

Statistically you are probably somewhere in the middle. Jumps have happened in my studying but they are rarely (read never) 100% sustained. They tend to show an overall improvement plus things going well on a particular test. Keep working hard and k…

I would encourage you to be more firm on the 9 versus 10. Aim for 9 and you will get to bed much earlier than aiming for 9 or 10. The ambiguity leaves too much wiggle room and you will end up in bed much later on average. Or at least that is how it …

@"Cant Get Right" I love that you brought all of our training to your post! So much fun to see it in use. It gave me a good chuckle. Thanks for the moment of levity!

http://lawschoolnumbers.com/application-prep/law-school-letter-of-recommendation Check out the above link. I think it might help you and your supervisor. I don't know how accurate it is in terms of what Columbia "REALLY WANTS" but hopefully it will…

Definitely focus on just doing one RC passage at a time instead of doing a whole section. Seeing your time is important. Watching JY's explanation videos can help you see specific things that help as well (it just takes a while for these to make a d…
-
Something that 7sage is very helpful with also is seeing what types of questions you are struggling with. If you can identify specific weaknesses then focusing on the CC for those as well as doing some practice questions just in the areas you need w…

I have no experience with law school but I imagine like most things in life there are a wide variety of people who succeed. That doesn't mean you will be great at every individual part but "success" come in many flavors, textures, and varieties. I w…

Thank you @twssmith for the help.

Just different. Shift in the feel of some strengthening/weakening. Shift in the feel of some MSS. Different wording on some miscellaneous questions.

1. Qualifies - to lessen; to add reservations to 2. You have it right 3. Phenomenon can be used for any "event" or "occurence" which may or may not include a relationship of some sort. Usually the interpretation of the "occurence" is what the LSAT q…
-
@"Kateryna" Yes doing that will help you immensely. Especially take the time to review the videos with JY after the games because that helps with speed so much in the long run. Do them over and over and keep reviewing the videos. You will get sooooo…

Take the LSAT when you are ready. Since you are not afraid of taking it again you could go ahead with the September LSAT and cancel the score if you know it went south. But in general I would say don't rush things.
