I started it basically immediately, and used the process to figure out what types of games I was weaker in as I went on!

My pre-law advisor said the same thing––based on the initial view-over (I'm guessing much of this has to do with scores), you get put in one of three baskets––definitely yes, definitely no, and on the bubble. From there, some are reviewed more or le…

@"paulmv.benthem" said: Dear @hawaiihi, last evening I spent about an hour and half stalking your posts on the 7Sage forum related to RC, taking notes, of course. Normally, I go at about -3 to -4 on RC, but I drilled an RC section this morning…

@michael_theodore @tylerdschreur10 i'm glad you find it helpful! RC can be a real beast but we can definitely conquer it! Good luck to all of us!

I've always done pretty well at RC-- I got -3 on my diagnostic, for example, and now I'm getting -0. But there's a lot of things that I've done throughout life and that I do now that I think really help. I'll bracket off each paragraph and on the …

Maybe go back and do some easy LG sections! Or do some games that you know really, really, really well, because you've done them a million times and you could do them in your sleep. Just to get your brain remembering how to go down those paths again…

Don't take it!! Even studying for only a month and a half, my LG went up by like +7/8 questions. Progress in a short time is possible, ESPECIALLY for LG.

Don't worry about your worst test. You're the product of your best PT. If you did it once, you can do it again!
-
I don't think you would be amiss sending an email, ESPECIALLY since it wasn't you who messed up, it was LSAC. It's a big GPA difference, and in my mind, if I were an admissions officer and saw the GPA jump with no explanation, I would be confused. B…

I'd put an addendum! Just heard a law school admissions officer speak, and she said it was better to put one––better that you can be upfront than give the admissions committee a chance to use their imagination, as they might come up with something f…

@"Mia Fairweather" said: @hawaiihi what is the PT'D? section for?? It's just so I can note whether or not I took a section on its own or as part of a PT!

Thank you everyone @westcoastbestcoast @PARHAM1373 @"Alex Divine" @LSATcantwin ....just took a few days off, took a PT, and felt WAY BETTER. You guys rock!

Great reminder!

I love this Theodore Roosevelt quote that goes, "Comparison is the thief of joy." And it's true. You've (we all have) no doubt made huge gains since we started studying. Just like some people pick up, like, table tennis super fast doesn't mean that …

@kshutes13 said: Thank you everyone for the advice - it is really helpful to see how other people felt 2 weeks before the LSAT or after burnout in general. I'm happy it's common to take a break this close to the LSAT. My mom is a powerhouse ma…

Yes! I think also a lot of times, JY doesn't split because the rules aren't particularly restrictive. I wasn't able to see this when I first started, but as I've gone on it's become easier to see-- "ah, with these 3 rules, even if I do use Rule #1 t…

I was in a similar place to you about a month ago (165 diagnostic, and I struggled to finish LGs too), and I've been scoring in the 170s on my PTs. I think you can do it, but don't be discouraged if once you really start studying on LR or RC, that y…

@"Mindful Monkey" said: @hawaiihi That's awesome! As someone not extremely familiar with Excel or Google Sheets, how do you extend the formatting? Say for the LG's how would you "drag" the formatting downwards for more PTs? Personally, I jus…

Here's mine! Actually my master sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1yK-ux9iLzRF8c4zfJieZC7cXNuzPaAWEJtwT6BWVzxA/edit?usp=sharing LG fool proof sheet (+ a column for blacking out/tracking which of the PT1-35 LG's you've done) PT tracker…

@nvakhshoury said: how did you guys format this on excel? Here's my column headings: PT # S# Q#, Type of Game, Target Time, Attempt, Date, Time, Score. I kept the rows grouped together for question, so it would look like this: PT5 S1 Q3 | …

@"Alex Divine" I've done worse on probably 5 or so sections, overall. I think that the sections where I went -2 (versus -1) are probably not as significant, since one question isn't probably an indicator of my whole ability. Still, I almost feel a…

I think your timeline is definitely doable! Like you, I scored in the 160s on my diagnostic about a month ago. Since studying beginning then, my PTs have been in the low 170s and my LG (originally -8, similar to you) has gone down to a -1 or so. It…
