  • When the time comes to apply, submit an addendum explaining your disability and how it effected your GPA. Explain what lead to the increase in GPA. With your GPA still being above a 3.0, you have a shot at some really good schools, but only with a …
  • In all seriousness though, talk to a specialist. The fact you posted here is evidence enough that speaking with a specialist would be beneficial. Good luck, and keep up the fight!
  • I heard cheeseburgers can help.
  • Burger, junk food?!?! Look at all the lettuce on that thing! It's basically a salad
  • I'd say that's accurate. I think the Powerscore LG bible and JYs method compliment each other nicely. JYs method is far superior to any I've came across so I would focus primarily on that. That being said, it is healthy to have multiple sources of k…
  • @"Alex Divine" said: Yale, Harvard and Stanford don't give merit aid, so if your friend got in with a 180/3.6 it must have been need-based aid. Definitely crazy someone got in with a 3.6 -- Must have had some crazy softs! It was an outside merit…

  • One of my best friends scored 173, with a 4.0 and was wait listed at both Harvard, and Stanford. He accepted a 100k scholly at NYU. Another friend, scored a 180 (Crazy right?) with a 3.6 and accepted a 50k scholly to Yale. To answer your question th…

  • They are out there, they just cost an arm and a leg. Not sure of the exact reasoning, but they are special for one reason or another. Seeing as they cost so much though it would probably make more sense just to upgrade your 7sage and garner other P…
  • I'll see you guys Sunday!
  • Thanks @"Jonathan Wang" for the write up. This is solid foundation building advice.
  • None of you whipper snappers mentioned The West Wing?! Tons of legal action with a political core. Bartlet 2016!
  • @civnetn Watch these couple YouTube videos BR overview: Step 1: Step 2: Step3: Good luck =]
  • Hello @"Tina Cho" Watch these couple YouTube videos. If you still have some questions after come back and ask again. BR overview: Step 1: Step 2: Step3: Good luck =]

  • @emilycyoung1 are you still able to edit the post? If you can just rewrite it following the format in #4
  • Hey Emily! Just a heads up, I believe this post violates forum rules 3. Do not post LSAT questions, any copyrighted content, or links to content that infringe on copyright. Not a good way to take the first few steps down a long road that is your l…
  • @"Alex Divine" From the article: Taking Two PTs back-to-back - Several high scorers recommended this, so I tried it when I was retaking PTs at the very end of my prep. I definitely think it helped; after taking 8 sections with a 20 minute break, th…
  • @"Alex Divine" While he did score a 161 diagnostic, Nathan took it to a whole other level. He did this by taking 85+ PTs; taking 1-2 PTs everyday leading up the exam; typing and printing out LR questions he didn't fully grasp, and taping them to his…
  • Blind Review! Learn it, love it, live by it. The test is hard. Don't be afraid to take time off. This guy scored a perfect 180 and made a very helpful write up. I don't know how many people on these forums have read through this, but it's worth a re…
  • Yes! Breaking down which parts of the argument are sufficient and necessary allows you to determine the evidence and conclusion. This helps you figure out potential flaws and opportunities to strengthen/weaken the argument. Conditional reasoning is …
  • @civnetn said: Personally, I've been scoring my PT's immediately after taking them, without BR. Then I walk away, come back the next day and retake the entire test. I know that's what most LSAT students do. Why’s that bad? Isn’t checking the …
  • The only way to combat burnout is to take time off. Take the weekend, or even the week. Come back strong on Monday. Do something enjoyable with your time away. Read, go to the pub, watch a movie with friends, anything you genuinely enjoy doing. Pers…
  • I'm going to give you a bit of tough love here friend. The consensus is that burning through PTs with out a solid foundation is not a good strategy to improve your score. I HIGHLY recommend Powerscore and the 7sage curriculum. @melloish said: Sure…
  • My advice, which may be contradictory to some other opinions, is sit down and focus on nothing but logic games for an extended amount of time. I would suggest 2-3 weeks. Longer if you need it. I'm currently working on my 4th week of nothing but logi…
