It is best to read the stimulus first, imho. I was reluctant to admit this until the end of my training. If you're going for a 170 or better, on test day you should be so good at reading stimuli for arguments that whatever parts of the argument are …

I went from mid-140s to 169 official. You can do it, bud. Train effectively. PM me if you want some pointers.

@kvento said: Thanks everyone for the comments @goingfor99th @Sami ! @"Kennedy Smith" Will you all be applying for Fall 2018? I've already applied to 12 schools. One more left. I will hear back from Duke by Friday.

Self-honesty is important, too.

Nerves improve when you become more confident in your skills. Diaphragm breathing, box breathing, and meditation help too.

If your story is emotional, it's okay for it to be a touch emotional. I think above all, though, you should focus on making an argument for yourself. If your story is personal and you think it shows schools why you will succeed at law school, show t…

Awesome! Congratulations, Amy!

I typically found that my second choice was wrong and my first choice correct. Of course sometimes it works in reverse, but I'd say only about 25% of the time. I'd imagine it varies from person to person and has a lot to do with mindset and confiden…

Do timed sections exactly as you plan to approach the timed sections on your official exam, and lots of them. It really is that simple if your fundamentals are sound. You want to beat the process into your brain so that when you walk into the test …

From September of last year to June, I'd say about 700-800 hours of strict study. The LSAT was always on my mind, though. Always... :P

Congratulations! Duke is a great school. One of the most underrated in the T14, imo. The history of the school alone makes it worth attending. Good luck on the rest of your applications!

T20 or bust. T30+near top of your class if you want to do regional and not be crushed by debt. Don't ignore the stats, and definitely don't ignore the potential stress of living under $100k+ worth of debt. I say this because I care, not to be spite…

I did 3-5 LG sections a day about 4 days a week for the two months leading up to the test. By the time I started that segment of my training, I had already completed all LG 2-3 or more times. I found the steady pacing of timed sections a great way t…

"Box breathing" helped me a lot. Mindfulness meditation (Google: 'mindfulness') is another big one. Pick some forms of meditation and practice them for a while. Sooner or later you'll find your life slowing down, in the best possible way I'd say.

Could have something to do with their major/s or graduating institution or section scores? I don't know for sure. All I know is I've received a ton of contact from schools that don't normally contact students below their medians, and especially not…

Never mind.

Little late with my response but thanks for this, whomever it is that makes the decisions. Hope I wasn't too much of a noob for you guys. Congrats to the other winners, especially @"Alex Divine". Where's the thread we use to brag about our unsolic…

I think it does start to click after a while, for some people. You just need to put in a lot of diligent practice to get to that point. You never want to become arrogant, though.
