I can confirm that stress is building as the November 17 test approaches. I usually only feel stressed when I haven't put in enough work on any given day. To combat stress I am trying to wake up early every day and practice, so that I don't feel lik…

I work around 30 hours per week and usually only take 1-2 PTs per week. I would love to have more PTs under my belt but there are other important things to focus on, like practicing games and drilling certain question types. Everyone is different. P…

You will have to get a feel for hunting answers and your personal confidence levels. Don't try to prove everything out in LG if you've already found the winner. Sometimes choosing an LR or RC answer without eliminating the rest will backfire if you …

If you are asking about which package of 7sage to get, I would ask how much you're willing to invest into this (time and money). The starter package will be by far the best place to begin because it comes with the entire curriculum, and the curricul…

I don’t think there is a trick to fixing this problem, but I am improving by simply reading for structure and practicing. Once you review enough you will notice the types of author perspective questions that continue to show up. Actively reading and…

No tips or tricks that I can share, but unless you have enough time to finish section you might try skipping and coming back to these. BR your games and prove out the correct answer, then watch J.Y. work through the replacement rule questions and us…

I think I found it in the comments on one of his webinars? Can't find it in my dropbox, sorry.

Seriously not to pile on, but don't listen to someone who says there is no way you can go from a 160ish score to a 165 in 2 weeks. With better timing you can net yourself a couple of extra points here and there in every section. You need to drill LG…

Get to the 10 questions in 10 minutes benchmark. Eventually you will get through 15 questions in close to 15 minutes and have a ton of time left for the part of the section that usually has more difficult questions. Sometimes early questions can be …

Either approach A or B depending on where you think you’ll get the most value. You’ve increased your odds of guessing correct to 50% so unless you think you can increase those odds in a short period of time I would go to the other questions that you…

@KarateMaster Fair enough. Anything with advanced language that requires active reading will help you exercise your reading muscles. Novels are better at night when you’re trying to go to bed @lsatplaylist said: Thinking we have plenty of l…

Please provide more details so we have a better understanding of where you are in your prep. Have you read any books or just Khan classes? What was your previous score on record? January is really soon and very late in the admissions cycle. If you …

Does Columbia have a Why X essay? I’ve heard Columbia specifically likes to hear about ties to NYC or desire to live in the city for yield protection. Has anyone else heard this?

You could read actual law review articles if you want to read something law related, but they are really dense and get much further into the weeds than an LSAT RC passage. Most law magazines I’m familiar with deal more in legal business and legal e…

Follow up... Don't study while stressed, and don't be results oriented. Try to have fun. If you become engaged in a section and are having fun you are probably in the zone. When you read something and 2 sentences in you are trying to figure out how …

LSAT is long so it is bound to happen. There is a reason most lectures are limited to under 1 hour (people stop paying attention). Each individual section is independent of other sections in the test, so during each 35 minute section you have to try…

If you are studying and performing at a higher range I think a retake is fine. Focus on getting all As until you graduate and put together all your application materials. You're in good shape either way

Might be useful to take a PT at your Aunt's house like you were planning. Maybe something will distract you that hasn't distracted you yet and you can deal with it there instead of during the real thing. Since you're traveling just take 1 PT and rev…

@levonm7 said: @drbrown2 so ur saying i should familiarize myself with the test and then take a year to fully dive into it? Is that you did or is it possible to like study next summer and then after i finish my 4th year to continue on what I'v…

Starter level comes with the core curriculum which should take you some time to work through, but it has a shorter subscription time frame. I chose the ultimate package because it comes with every PT and has a longer subscription time. Whichever you…

@"Leah M B" said: I definitely would not check Native American. Tribes are very sensitive to claiming heritage without proof - could give a bad impression if anyone asked and you don’t have any real verification. Obviously beyond that, it…

@"Adam Hawks" said: Uh, I mean it's nice that the old webinars are on the podcast, but will there be novel content? Will it be consistently new content? I'd really enjoy it if there was a weekly podcast that was more than AMAs please. It w…

@Shanuchhetri13 said: I think I should get my vision checked. I used to wear glasses in high school and so, it might be the case that my vision is getting weak again. Thanks a ton. I personally have astigmatism, so my glasses allow my eyes …

@Shanuchhetri13 I’m sorry you’re going through some debilitating health issues right now. Focus on your health full time and practice when you feel well. I know you’ve seen doctors and specialists, but do you wear glasses or contacts? I was experie…

I re-read the passage and go through all the questions, which is different from my LR review where I only review circled questions. I think it is important to review everything on each test, including RC, so you can really get a sense of what you kn…

Amazing faculty (like every top law school) and small class sizes (less than 200 1Ls). Also looking at their admissions stats it looks like they favor applicants with higher GPAs (50% at 3.9 GPA) if that factors into your application strategy. I've …

Hope you crush it this year @LSATcantwin it sounds like you’re on the right track. What are your thoughts on outlining strategy? I’ve heard some say outline as early as possible and keep refining and synthesizing as you read more cases. Would love t…

I agree. Be positive and brief. Break down your GPA at the time of your injury and the GPA after switching majors to show the progress you made.

You can’t really cram for the LSAT. Progress is incremental and is usually accompanied with setbacks as you hone your strategies under timed conditions. If you are taking the test in November then you need to probably take 1 timed LR/RC section ever…

@ilovethelsat I totally missed the part where you said you will defer for one year. I think there is almost no upside to rushing. Just make sure to take the LSAT when you are ready, with enough time for a retake so there is no pressure. Get your LOR…
