  • @"samantha.ashley92" said: Considering you already know the foundational information, 10 points is improbable, but I definitely won't say impossible. Take a week off to shake off the feelings (maybe fear, regret, doubt, etc), then approach the…
  • I’ve seen people move up points in a month , it really depends on the person and where the points are lacking
  • Depending on how many points you are missing the usual approach is to look at fundamentals , then move on to advancing your technique then employing timing strategies (adopted from blueprintlsat.com) figure out your areas of weakness , make sure you…
  • @PhDtoLaW said: I had that Casio watch linked above, and my proctor confiscated it. I would recommend just buying a no-frills watch with no date display and no rotating bezel. Would they actually take it if it has a rotating bezel ?
  • For Canadian schools we don’t get access to prompts till the new cycle opens and it’s posted on the site
  • @kimmy_m66 said: @ebalde1234 ah gotcha! Sorry, I'm American so that's where my mind went. No worries . The rest of the schools asked for profs which would have been easier to get , but I’m set on this school. Should I call admissions?
  • Thanks for sharing best of luck
  • @JustDoIt said: I generally think it is a good idea to let any school know, both US and Canada, that you plan on taking a test after you apply. If they find out the hard way, they won't be pleased. For example, Stanford emailed me and wer…
  • @kimmy_m66 said: I would strongly advise against using a high school teacher. K-JDs are already looked at as immature (I say that as one myself); getting a rec from a high school teacher only adds fuel to the fire. Have you held any leadership…
  • @eRetaker said: 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 …
  • Should we rule out pts 50 and below for rc ?
  • @eRetaker said: Yep, I legitimately believe if people spent half as much time on RC and LR as they do on LG, the section score distributions would be very very different for most test takers. Also consider that getting LG down to (-0) is easie…
  • @Ohnoeshalpme said: If they want a non-academic LOR you should probably choose someone who isn't a teacher. To be honest with you though, don't be too worried about the status or position of the the person who writes your LOR. The admissions p…
  • @keets993 said: Parallel the flaw type questions, assumption based seemed to be a trend ... br was higher by a few points then timed Hmm maybe you're struggling with understanding the nature of support? So for example, assumptio…
  • @ChaimtheGreat said: Is there a certain type you are struggling with? Also are your BR scores higher than your first round- is it timing or understanding that’s the problem? Knowing this information could help you reorientate your approach. Al…
  • @"jasmine.lsatter" said: A few months of what can only be described as half-assed studying. It was my second time taking it and I bumped up 10 points from the first round which I was happy about but that put me in the mid 150s. I read through …
  • @TakinginJuly said: @ebalde1234 Thanks for your reply! Do you suggest that I should just use PTs up to 40 as timed drills, and just continue on the 41+? I definitely will be going back to the fundamentals for the LR.. I feel that it coul…
  • Three pts a week might be far too much in my opinion. I think most students on here would agree 2pts a week is the max to stretch it , providing you’ve nailed the fundamentals down. If lr isn’t improving figure out where your weaknesses are , still …
  • Remember it’s the end goal that matters not always the means. Think of your life course as always bringing you closer to your future. Oh and always believe the universe conspires in your favour. Try to study moderately so you don’t burn out. I’ve le…
  • I agree to get to 170 plus you will most likely need more then 3 months to study. Finish the cc - then do a post cc pt to see where you sit at . Do not rush through the cc or you will have to go through it again. Once you do the above you need to ge…
  • @JustDoIt said: @ebalde1234 said: What general tips would you give to someone struggling with lg ? Remember that everything is formulaic. Break it down as much as you can before you continue. Be okay with ambiguity, but…
  • Update uwindsor said they will look at all lsat scores even if scores are pending , providing the latest one is November lsat for single jd 2ndupdate Ottawa has said the same thing as uwindsor (but not sure why on their site they said they would…
  • @kestes2 said: @ebalde1234 said: 4/5 avg isn’t bad at all . Review it later but don’t get hung up about it. In general, lets say on the strengthening questions I'm struggling a bit more maybe only averaging 50% correct. Sho…
  • @"paulmv.benthem" said: Wowzers, @ebalde1234 , you move quick. The only Canadian schools I'm anticipating applying are UofT/Osgoode/UVic/Dalhousie...So, I'll let you know what their responses are. Hahaha gotta be 2steps ahead, I’ll pm you wi…
  • 4/5 avg isn’t bad at all . Review it later but don’t get hung up about it.
  • Based on Lakeheads website it appears that they will evaluate all scores and take the highest - it says the score reports that get reported to them is what they will evaluate. I will be emailing uwindsor , Lakehead and Ottawa.
  • Windsor did email me back and tell me that they will take the November exam but like I said just because the school says they’ll take the latest one doesn’t guarantee that they will look at it in their final decision (my reasoning ) . Called uwindso…

  • You’ll notice the trend of people studying then stopping and picking it up again for various personal reason. Myself included. That being said it’s not so much the time as it is your strategy; you’ll also have to do an inventory on your burnout rate…
  • @"samantha.ashley92" said: Since applications are due Nov 1st (typically), can you take the LSAT in November? Yeah if the school will accept it . They used to take the December lsat. Because the December is now the November- it’s kind of a t…
