  • Logic doesn't change, so your 2015 version will be just fine.
  • That's a pretty big jump in one month, but doable if you BR 2 PTs a week until the exam date. Also helps to mix in some LR and LG drilling. For your second question, yes, some Latinos get a URM status boost, but I think it's only Mexican Americans. …
  • Did my PTs in order from 1-83 and A, B, C, and C2. Personally had the same score range after about PT55 then at PTs 72-78 my scores died. From 79 til the end I reached my highest scores but underperformed on my first LSAT. Retook four months and dur…
  • @ParisthePrince , yea I think you should start with the Starter Course since you're currently on a budget and you can always upgrade later for more content. You will probably take 1-2 months to relearn the basics and build your foundation with the c…
  • Hi @ParisthePrince , I think I can give some advice on studying for the LSAT on a budget since all my prep materials together came out to about $120 and I did not use a course. I mentioned this on another thread, but I was one of the beta testers fo…
  • It's determined by the experimental sections before the test is even administered. Though there are rare instances where LSAC had to adjust a curve after the exam is taken.
  • Yeah np and good luck in September!
  • The RC questions themselves have been getting tougher with more "most strongly supported" types of stems. The passages have been fairly consistent throughout all PTs but you'll find that PT 79 and 82, for example, have questions that leave an uncomf…
  • I think you should skip the 60s since you only have a month before your LSAT and go through 70s and 80s as your full length exams. Also, PTs 55,57,61,62,66,68 had some tough LG sections if you wanted to test yourself. I personally noticed that the L…
  • Part of the difference in your LG score difference for PT 36 and 52 is that PT 36 had one of the toughest LG sections. In general the LGs in the 30s are the toughest in LSAT history while PTs 39-54 had the easiest LG sections. Since you're rushed fo…
  • Yeah it's pretty nice of them lol. Good luck with the app process!
  • Hi @ccuestas22 , sorry for not being more clear. Yes, LSAC considers an A+ to be 4.33. My university awarded A+ and counted them as 4.0 but after sending my transcripts to LSAC, they recalculated my GPA with A+s as 4.33s.
  • LSAC recalculates your GPA when you submit the transcripts
  • June 2007 is actually considered PT 50.5 and it seems like OP has not started fool-proofing yet. I would recommend spending a few months fool-proofing LGs from preptest 1-40 and then drill LRs by question type. Accuracy comes before speed, not the o…
  • I only used 7sage for fool-proofing LG with the free LG explanation videos and prepped with some external prepbooks which were great for getting my fundamentals down. I imagine that just using CC is enough for getting the same results on drilling fu…
  • I retook PTs and found it to be very helpful. Sure, your scores might not be accurate, but you'll be learning and reinforcing concepts that you might've missed the first time you took it.
  • This link might be useful: https://blog.powerscore.com/lsat/bid/335508/The-February-2014-LSAT-Post-test-Analysis
  • Looks like the powerscore guys were right about this being an old PT. Confirmed to be Feb 2014 exam.
  • I took PTs 1-83, A, B, C, C2, and F97. PT 84 was the actual test for me. I was doing about 3-4 PTs a week and BR'ing each of them. I personally didn't feel a burnout, but my first time taking it I scored a decent bit below my PT average. Before reta…
  • I also can't access the questions since I never purchased a 7sage package but willing to help explain questions if provided the access.
  • If you have a 4.2+ then I'm pretty sure you received the card for your GPA. Law schools use a index score based on a equation calculating your GPA and LSAT into a single number. So WUSTL most likely found that your index score was high enough to war…
  • I think personalized LORs are only effective in avoiding yield-protection, but if you're already applying ED then I don't see that being an issue.
  • I think you're going wayyyy too fast for the LR sections if you're at question 19 at 17 minutes. Realistically every question (hard or easy) is worth 1 point so take time to look over every answer choice in LR, even if you feel like you found the ri…
  • Got the same hand-written note about off-setting costs, but mine specifically congratulated me on the LSAT. Did yours mention anything about your GPA? Also found an article about the person who wrote the note linked below. https://law.wustl.edu/mag…
  • Hi @zackrynhold, B is a classic trap answer which would be good practice for you to recognize for future assumption family questions. You have to pay special attention to what the conclusion is saying. The conclusion simply claims that "Activite mus…
  • I don't because the board you used for question 1 might help answer question 5. In the end, I don't think the time you gain from recycling the same board question over question makes up for the additional speed and help you gain from seeing all the …
  • Yeah that's pretty much what I did
  • ^Those Casio watches are nicee with great value.
  • @ebalde1234 , I would just fool-proof 60-80. Take them as part of a normal set of PTs with LG and LR and BR them. Then, in a couple weeks redo them as single sections.
  • Yeah, I'm glad you guys mentioned that. So I've taken every PT at least once and BR'ed each at least once. I once counted the question types to find out why I thought the RC in the 50s and 70s were so much tougher, and I found that the proportion of…
