Agreed with everything @"Leah M B" and @Sami said. I hit that point like you when I was studying, and it can be really demoralized. Walk away, take a break. I swear, it'll help you more than burning yourself out will. I did the same, and after walki…

@LSAT_Wrecker said: I have no idea whether they do or not, I just look at the exercise as a risk mitigation event. Why would I spend months / years studying for the LSAT and working on different inputs (resume/PS/additional essays) to my appl…

Yes, I think they do. At the same time, I knew a girl who got into Harvard, and she drew a hand turkey on her writing sample. https://thenib.com/beyond-the-hand-turkey-5c6fc85b5199

@LSAT_Wrecker said: Either way, call your mom and tell her you love her. That always helps. Or your grandparents! Usually calling grandparents is a good reminder that you're awesome and everything is gonna be okay (because it's true!)

@"Seeking Perfection" great points. I'm currently a senior in undergrad (not married yet), but I can definitely see how taking on debt and believing you're gonna work an 80 hour a week job can seem "not so bad" when you're young and single. Definite…

Thank you 7Sage for keeping the sale on until after we get our February scores back!

I read this book when I was writing my applications for college (https://www.amazon.com/Writing-College-Application-Essay-Anniversary/dp/0062123998) but honestly, I've returned to it since nearly every time I've had to write that kind of essay for a…

If you still have any work from any of the classes you did well in, send that to the professors as well! It may help them write a better letter or at least have something to go off of for you!

Yes don't worry! I had the same thing happen in LR. I think a lot of times, when you score really well on a diagnostic it's because you're relying on instinct. But that's not the same thing as real learning. Once you start developing a method to do …

Dave Killoran said Monday or Tuesday, probably now.

I had the same question! What I did was that on days where I had more time, I would just do like one LR/RC section and BR it the next day. Really easy, just enough to not get rusty and to practice my bubbling technique. I'd do the ones from PTs 1-35…

@FutureLawyer007 said: @hawaiihi how much did you improve after foolproofing games 35-33? So did you foolproof only from 3 PTs? I didn't necessarily see drastic improvement YET in my time and accuracy, but I saw what types of games I was wea…
-
I personally started with one PT a week. It was just so much nicer to have that kind of space to BR it fully and to review, and I don't think there was honestly a huge difference in my performance if I'd taken two a week. If anything, I'm of the be…

Another note I just thought of... one question that used to throw me was when a question would ask, "What is the author's attitude regarding X?" Usually one, of the choices is something "(adverb) critical." I used to get really thrown, because in m…
-
I'd say save the later PTs for exactly that... PTs, as they're much more similar to the real thing. As for the way I went about it, at first I foolproofed PTs 35-33 (chosen fairly randomly, honestly). However, after just a few PTs, I realized where…
-
I was pretty nervous! The first PT I took, I forgot to bubble the last two questions (i.e. one whole last page) of a section and made a few mistakes. But after practicing on several sections and getting in the habit of doing it while foolproofing, I…

Once I started reading the stem first, it totally changed my perspective in LR in a really positive way. If you know what you're looking for, it makes a difference. For example, on questions like "The argument follows assuming that..." I'd find mys…

The Yale admissions officer writes about how important it is to have two academic letters of reference, and how it can make or break your application. I know this may not be possible for you, so she also says: "If you really don't have someone who …

It's also good to know that you should ALWAYS waive your right for things––recommendation letters for jobs, scholarships, etc. Otherwise, employers or scholarship boards may regard the letter as totally useless and not indicative of the truth. And …

I agree with commentators above. Honestly, the way I work is that I set the number of times for each game at 4. If, for example, I nail it the first time––all questions right and under time, that will be the only time I do the game. If I don't nail …

@xadrianas6x said: I plan on donating mine to the library after all this is done. When I first started, that was the first resource I hit, and there was absolutely nothing available. Maybe someone else will benefit. Great idea! My library d…

I took the cold diagnostic and it was SO, SO helpful. For one, it helped me to see which sections I naturally was better at and which ones were way more of a struggle. It really helped to focus my studying afterwards. And if you do decently, it can …
