Some of the Canadian schools do take an average of your PT scores (since they're not bound by the US rankings (I think?). (I'm also assuming you're in Canada because you use the word 'write'). Also, Ivey's book does caution against a lot of takes, t…

I was up about 8 points from my average on that PT also.

A 169 seems too low for Harvard ... especially since they might also have deferments from last year holding a seat. You'd almost have to retake the LSAT and applying in February is really late in the cycle. ... But, I don't know your situation. ...

It really is! ... Although, sometimes I suffer an over-confidence error on passages that involve my background knowledge. I'm so grateful that because it changes so much from PT to PT, that I haven't gotten bored with studying. And even if RC is my…

Oh crappers, I just looked in my notes to confirm, but it WASN'T Kahn with this, it was KAPLAN. Kahn only had the seven method of argument types (which isn't really exhaustive, in my opinion ... ). Whoops! I must say, that there are some hidden gems…

A - assessments (not objective, assigns some subjective attribute) C - (analogy or comparative relationship); analogies have implications I - (conditional or causal relationship); 'I' for 'if/then' statement P - predictions = implications! R - r…

The only place I've seen conclusion types mentioned is on the Kahn Academy and in argumentation books (that discuss methods of argument in more detail). I don't think you need to be as focused on the conclusion type for this question. If you look at…

Watch this video, it has SO MUCH advice on how to proceed (it helped me to really define a post-cc goal path): https://classic.7sage.com/webinar/post-core-curriculum-study-strategies/ Also, consider starting to foolproof logic games. Ha!! @kilgor…

I think it also depends on the schools that you're looking at. Some of the "regional" schools have their early decision deadlines extended out into February! So if you have everything ready-to-go when the score comes in, no problem for those schools…

lsatstudy@gmx.com I'm taking 2-3 PTs a week though and I've finished the CC. But, it might still be possible to coordinate ?? Not sure, though.
-
My score dipped significantly with PT39 also ... and then went up 14 points for PT40!?! My actual/BR range for 39 was 9 points and it was pretty much even with the other PTs I'd taken. So that made me think of PT39 as a 'lesson-giving' fluke. And it…

5 weeks for me, but I worked on it every day (and it was over the summer) for as many hours as possible each day (min 6, max 12), trying to push for at least 30 hours of curriculum min a week (I never realized how much my note taking really slows me…

In the Admissions course, under the Résumé section, they mention that if you're low in the Experience section, that you need to really have a LOT in the Activities section. Especially for people still in school. For people out of school (non-traditi…

@"arunima.b12" I'm still performing in a 'wave pattern' on this section - and it's SO annoying. But, I'm trying to read more non-fiction at night (mostly history books: right now Simon Schama's History of Britain, he uses wonderfully 'didactic' voca…

Regarding retention of what you've read/7sage, if you've taken physical notes, you could maybe try to condense them into something that you can review constantly, every few days (or heck, every day!). I did this and it's helped me to memorize it and…

It is an interesting question also in addition that there may have been accepted students for Fall 2020 that chose to defer for Fall 2021, making fewer spaces available on top of it. LawSchoolNumbers does make it scary, there are a LOT of really ama…

Thank you for offering this! I have it on my calendar.

PT 75 is another 'self esteem killer.' If you look at the comments, a lot of people saw a 10-point drop after taking that one. Powerscore had a post talking about the 'toughest' logic games (and posts for the other sections, also: the LR one is int…
-
I can't do any more than 4. 3 is my 'sweet spot.' I spend the entire next day after a PT reviewing everything from the test and then may or may not do a drill day the next day (depending on how I'm progressing and if I feel like I need a refresher/…
-
Do you also have to take the GRE to apply for the joint MSW program? ... I know when I looked at a joint degree years ago, it required both the GRE and GMAT. But, there are some graduate programs that don't even require the GRE.
-
You might also find answers here: https://www.lsac.org/lsat/taking-lsat/about-lsat-writing ... I know from reading the post from the August LSAT on the Powerscore site, that most of the held-up tests were because of backpacks, and other misc prohi…

This is SO helpful, thank you for taking the time to put this together and post it. There are so many that I didn't even realize existed (the question type ones)!!!
-
If it's one that I either missed questions on or didn't finish in the recommended time, I'll: • watch the video to check my game board/inferences, but stop before the question discussion. • then retry the game and if I still miss a question, then…

I would aim for 2 PTs a week, with two in-between days (one for intense blind review, the second for drills on weak spots (you could even do a 'mini' foolproof of games in these days). S (PT), M (BR), T (drills/etc), W (PT), R (BR), F (drills/etc),…
-
@NicktheGreek no. Maybe if you're applying to Canadian schools. And maybe for the T10 schools - or for early decisions in most cases. But otherwise, the scores would be back by Feb 1st, and it might not be the first test taken for the cycle, either.

@"Lawyer Looch" I was previously signed up to take a Flex (but canceled and rec'd a coupon for a later test ... I was hoping these issues would have stopped by now!), and so I had bought a new computer for the test (my desktop doesn't have a webcam …
-
I don't know if you know this, but you might want to update your message to change the reference that the issues with the Flex tests started in August. They didn't. They started with the first Flex test that was in May (after the March and April tes…

Do you jump around with game types while you're foolproofing (working from PT1, do all the games and then go to PT2, ...) ?? I don't know if it might start to click if you focus on a single game type: take, for example, sequencing twist - start with…
-
Agree totally with @dazedandconfused-1 , you have some great PT scores and "hope for the 70s best, but mentally prepare for a mid-high-60s" Good luck!!! I know the PTs in the 80s start to get harder with LR wording (trying to be trickier with logic…

Are your BR scores consistent, though? (As that is an indicator of how well you know the material, just not necessarily how well you can perform under the timed pressure - as the timed score is) If your BR score is a consistent +/- one point range, …
