Money always gives one advantage; whether it is with the LSAT or anything in life. This problem is not unique to law school admissions. This doesn't mean that we can use this as an excuse to not succeed. That is the worst mindset o…
I think your scores are dropping due to the shift in focus/difficulty of the more recent tests. A simple way to determine if your method is not helpful is to do several new sections in the same range of tests and see if you score differently. Always…

That doesn't mean a rich kid will never perform worse than a poor one, as you seem to imply
I certainly never implied that a rich kid won't perform worse than a poor one.
@odebs2797 said:
Sure, you were still able to succeed without much money, that doesn't mean more resources wouldn't or would've helped.
Never said they wouldn't have helped—just that one need not let their absence hold one back.
I'm just trying …

The fact that it's possible to learn the test via struggling through it yourself is not mutually exclusive with the fact that having someone there to guide you in your struggles and point you in the right direction is benefic…

But would I give myself a better chance with a dedicated tutor who I can afford to employ 10+ hours a week? Probably. Of course, I believe we should be focused on what we can do, not what we can't change.
I know this test much …

Don't they understand the LSAT is teachable with practice and favors rich students with a lot of money to pay for tutors and LSAT prep classes?
I'm gonna step in here and shut this down.*
Last July, when I was between jobs as a …

As I laughed, I told her that's manure and certainly not worth $250 per hour.
Wow this is pretty presumptuous. I always wonder why folks assume they have expertise outside of their, well, area of expertise.
@nweymouth said:
In my opinion, this over-emphasis on LSAT scores seems rather silly and doctoral programs never place so much weight on one's GRE scores.
Apples and oranges.
Look at the source of the rankings. It's a SURFING mag. And the conclusion is about overall, ACTUAL popularity. So yeah, likely to be unrepresentative.

My third PT after finishing the 7Sage curriculum was a 171 and it was probably the worst thing that could have happened to me. I broke through that psychological barrier you're talking about, and then subconsciously thought I was go…

I can feel that part of me doesn't even believe that it even is possible, to get into the higher 160s much less in the 170s.
Oh, of course you can. My diagnostic was a 152--not much higher than yours.
You just play the lon…

In regards to the 8-9 month timetable, that is neither sufficient nor necessary to get any given score.
Truth bomb ... BOOM.

But maybe that's just me. Your BR should do more than enough to teach you all you need to know.
Yeah I agree that if you use this kind of resource in the wrong "order" in your prep, you'd jeopardize your ability to be able to ident…
There is no such book but I've considered working on something like this. It would require a tremendous number of man-hours so it's back burner for now.

but in general you don't have to worry too much about the truth and falsity of conditional statements for the test (in terms of truth tables).

And no this is not just so my name can be attached to the project without me personally doing any of the work...idk why you guys would think that...

Semi, I'm almost finished with 7sage and I recently bought the LSAT trainer
May I ask why you're taking ANY full-length PT's having not finished a curriculum?
