Correct. It means you get rid of the 4 wrong answers and are left with the 1 potentially less awful option. Getting to answers this way is much tougher and often involves much less certainty.
Repetition, repetition, repetition and using the 7sage Core Curriculum. You should sign up now and bang it out. It is amazing. But then you need lots of reps and revisiting as well.
I would also make sure St. Mary's had reasonable bar pass rates. If their statistics are horrible it might not be worth it. But overall I agree with everyone else. Since you know you want to stay in the region the need for outside opportunities does…
Keep. I did the exact same thing on my first LSAT in Sept only it was the 3rd section of RC that I messed up on (which then bled over into screwing me on section 4). I was so mad at myself. Ultimately I decided to keep and I am glad I did. My score …
@tofuspeedstar You may be correct but I look forward to being in that boat if only because it would mean that my personal statement and resume would be finished.
If you are not applying this cycle then definitely skip the Feb test. Non-disclosed (which means they don't tell you jack) tests suck. You don't learn nearly enough from them. Aim for June. If you want another take after that one then you have Sept.…
I understand. Just because you BR a 177 once doesn't mean that is necessarily a "true" reading of where you are at. You will find that your PT scores show the same variation. Some tests play to your strengths and some expose LOTS of weaknesses. Gett…
If you are at a 177 BR level then I think you can definitely get there. But nothing is guaranteed. You will have to earn it. It sounds like you need to get much better at your timing strategies. Watch the webinar on skipping. Learn to not check more…
Do you have any advice on the order or timing of putting out apps for maximal benefit/scholarships/chances at dream school?
Also, if LSAC is already including a letter in my file explaining the circumstances of a low LSAT score, do I need to include…
It depends on what you think you scored and how acceptable/unacceptable that is to you. If you think you were affected to the point where you got a 160 but you are okay with a 160 because it will get you into some great schools then take your score.…
Just hammer your weaknesses over and over. Then repeat some more. You will pick up skills along the way. Especially if you let J.Y.'s wisdom be your guide for how to get faster. If you do 20 sequencing games with repeating and learning from J.Y. you…
It totally depends on how long you will be preparing for. If you are taking the LSAT in Feb I would not do all of the old ones. If you are taking it in June of 2020 I would definitely use all of them. Laying out a master plan from now until your wri…
They do not let you see your score before deciding. It's not fun. Curiosity got to me and I got my score and then also paid for the next administration because my score wasn't what I wanted. Curiosity is a punk sometimes.

Our proctor was super by-the-book though and I am sure if LSAC had said for him to jump off a cliff he would have
Greatest quote ever.
I took both of these tests on Mondays as I am a Sabbath Observer so my insights on the relative merits of the two tests probably are not relevant to most. On the general front though, my Sept LSAT had some crazy jack-hammering interruptions and I pe…
It sucks but ultimately their concern isn't "rectify" special cases, just to give "some" consideration. I don't know if the letter is helpful or not. I doubt it can hurt.
Two things randomly come up when I think about it.
1. Do I need to write a se…
Don't worry about it. You don't need to be used to it. Just be familiar with attacking different types of games. It is a very minor detail and spending time on it is a waste when you could be getting a better return on your time from other LSAT rela…
It all depends on how important Cornell is to you and what your score really is. I also hate making decisions based on limited information. Good luck. Don't be afraid to sit out a cycle if you are capable of more but obviously that has to be balance…
I went through a crazy distracting experience on the LSAT in Sept. and at least for our test they did not cancel for everyone. I filed a complaint and so did a few others. LSAC gave me the option of canceling without seeing my score and taking the n…
