Law school is more than exam performance. There are many students who are not on law review and aren't setting the curve on every test who may be able to get more out of their education through experiential learning opportunities like clinics. To an…

@Ohnoeshalpme Thanks for the comment! I have been balancing a lot of the financial factors that you mentioned and will be making this decision largely on how strong my offers are this cycle relative to my expected LSAT improvement after 3 months. I’…

Don't be so resistant to taking a year off. First, it will help you be more prepared for law school which could translate into a better job. Second, it could be an opportunity for you to continue studying and raise your score. Third, the combination…

You’ve made some interesting points. I agree that digital “bubbling” will be quicker, but I feel like taking digital notes will be slower and working with scratch paper will be difficult as you don’t benefit from having work space in close proximity…

Bombed first LG (very first section for me). Came back focused in the next couple sections. My last section was the real LG and I finished everything and had 1 minute left. Feels good! Also had amazing proctors and did not hear a single person cough…

Lol the monkey question prediction was dead on. Pacaque is a legend now

Thanks @LSAT_Wrecker!

And just to be a little more clear and answer your question, the question isn’t really any different. You’re still looking at the stimulus critically and running the negation test on answer choices. What I was trying to say using that example is tha…

By implicit NA you mean the assumption was already implied by the stimulus right? If so, the recent example I am thinking of is PT83 1-21 the question about archaeologists finding copper tools that are 5000 years old. The correct answer choice is im…

@parkervukich said: Okay thanks everyone. So when you suggest using the PTs/sections as diagnostic, then what would be used to drill? Previous problem sets? If you struggle with one particular question type or get stuck on a game or feel los…

Taking the practice tests is such a small part of improving. Sure, the more tests you take, the more familiar you are with different question types and the faster you are. However, the review after each test is crucial to actually getting better. T…

There are so many tools. Think about what you would expect to hear from a coach or a tutor. Identify weaknesses using the LSAT analytics resource and work on those. Go back to the core curriculum. Be honest about your blind review process. Look into…

The question talks about 2 distinct committees, and if one committee has a quorum that is sufficient to guarantee the general assembly will start at a specific time (6 for 1, 7 for the other). The incorrect answer choices include 2 fake contrapositi…

@BinghamtonDave said: the question remains one of only a few in LSAT history that I consider utterly ridiculous. The question makes me dizzy. I read that the LSAC LR writers get their questions purchased by LSAC (like subcontractors), but …

I just put the watch in my ear and can confirm that the second hand does not tick silently. When it is any further than 3 inches away from my ear, it is too quiet to hear. Good luck!

J.Y. almost perfectly paraphrases your objection in the analysis of the question, so if you haven't watched that already I think his analysis pretty much covers the watching self objection that you've raised. The conclusion states that watching your…

Also developer of Mastermind watch had to develop a new product. They claim to be 100% compliant. Color zones might give a suspicious proctor pause. I'll stick with the Casio at half the price. https://answerwatch.com/

@thejeebah 3-4 points is not a huge deviation from your average. You broke the 170 barrier but that doesn't mean you will achieve the same results on every test. The fact is that your scoring average is on an upward trajectory. There will be some up…
-
It depends on your other commitments, but if you are good at time management and put in an appropriate amount of study time on a consistent basis I think that is fine. Don't go too fast through the curriculum and don't blow through your prep tests. …
-
Get to the point where you embrace the over the top explanations that are way more in depth than what you need to answer the question. That's how deep you should strive to go when you review questions you missed or weren't sure about. That's the lev…

I'm not sure what kind of access you have to PT explanations, but J.Y. does RC Live Commentary on his fresh RC attempts for some of the newer tests. He talks about staying on top of your pacing and really working on it by recognizing when you don't …

Don’t try to understand the material. Focus only on the structure of the passage and knowing where stuff is and who thinks what. Spend more time with the questions and skip hard questions that eat up time. Your score might go down initially whenever…

Admissions committee person I met that is also on the scholarship committee and works in financial aid says binding ED with no guaranteed scholarship is usually not a good decision unless it is your dream to go to that school and you don’t want to g…

If you decide to go to Georgetown, or any of the T14 schools, you will have a bunch of great opportunities and you just have to figure out what sort of trajectory you want to take and work as hard as you can to get good grades/secure summer jobs. I …

@TylerPKP said: Can you explain why taking the undisclosed LSAT would put me at a disadvantage? You won't be able to see the test and review it or try to use it like a prep test and learn from questions you missed

Every school will see both scores, but they generally only consider your top score for admissions purposes. Taking the average of your 2 scores would mean potentially offering admission to someone else who has a higher average score but lower top sc…

Sign up and if you aren't ready for January despite your best efforts than you can delay until the next cycle. No point in committing to January as a last ditch effort and March is probably too late. Of course you can still earn admission to schools…
