  • Update my GPA actually dipped 0.02 because of a transcribing error they made - I caught it, emailed them about it, and they updated my records. Glad I went over them haha

  • Not sure if this applies to you, but I know that the CC heavily stresses diagramming just to teach it, but you definitely shouldn't be diagramming the majority of LR questions. That could possibly be a source of slowing you down?
  • LSAC finished processing my transcripts today so wanted to contribute to my own thread - my GPA dropped 0.02. Due to my institution counting A- as 3.7 instead of 3.67 and having a handful of those.

  • You can find written explanations frequently in the comments! I know it's not exactly what you are looking for. Unfortunately I don't believe they have transcripts for all (any?) of the video explanations yet. I don't really think your method seems…
  • I've also had that experience. What I will say is that having those "duh, that's obvious" moments has trained me to be more literal and to make less of these mistakes. On each question I will ask myself does this have to be true. Can the answer be r…
  • Unless you have to wake up at noon for work or some other important reason, I would suggest changing your sleep schedule now to make it a habit. Maybe not necessarily waking up at 6am, but try 8am? So that waking up at 6 won’t be such a shock For s…
  • I could see why you feel that way, I'm also PTing around that score and find my answers to LR don't typically change in BR. I do see value in BRing LG because I usually get 1-2 wrong during PT and know I can get -0 in under time. If you're comfortab…
  • Thank you!! I didn't think they would but I wanted to save myself the embarrassment of having to ask for the same LOR twice in case CAS was weird haha

  • Hi! How was your diagnostic? Did you feel comfortable taking the test and with the types of questions? If you're in a good position, I would maybe suggest jumping straight into PTs. Take a PT on the weekend then BR each section throughout the week. …
  • Also want to clarify - by so many different types, I don’t mean the basic types like sequencing, grouping, misc, etc. There aren’t too many of those. I mean there are so many games that will feel slightly similar to ones you’ve done before because t…
  • Yes it would be unwise to push off studying games. If your diagnostic was June 07 like most people’s, I think those games are slightly easier than the average section. Even if your diagnostic was a different test, there are so many different types o…
  • Get a part-time job! I don't think anyone can productively study 8 hours a day/avoid burnout.
  • I thought the July cancellation wouldn't count too! I could be wrong.
  • If you have a specific example of a "math" question I can try to walk you through how I would approach it! I don't personally use any kind of process/equation for questions involving math. The ones I have encountered seem to just be testing your kn…
  • ^^Yeah personally I'm not studying with a fifth section because I don't want to waste one knowing it's fake.

  • I feel like there are a lot of components that this depends on! For example, I work a 9-5. I can't really do PTs until weekends so how much time I can study in 3-4 weeks is less than someone who isn't studying/working full-time. You definitely aren…
  • What I have read on here is that you need to just pick a separate PT and sacrifice one section from there. Not sure if they have updated the digital PT to allow you to add a fifth section. My problem with that method is you obviously will know the l…
  • Ok just got the email from LSAC that we can generally sign up ~45 days before the date We can do this guys!!
  • Does anyone know when we can sign up?
  • Thank you!! But we can't register for them now correct? I just tried and those dates aren't available, wanna make sure I'm not doing something wrong!

  • And thank you everyone who has been saying congrats!!! Also just wanna add that the first ever diagnostic I took ~2 years ago was a 157. I took the diagnostic and didn't bother studying/taking the LSAT because at the time I didn't fully want to go …

  • @chisal17 Sure!! I honestly don't have a really special/interesting study routine. I went through the CC on here pretty quickly a couple of months ago. Since then, I have been trying to PT 1-2 times every weekend. Two times is hard because that mea…

  • "After going through the 7Sage Curriculum and taking a Kaplan live course, the highest score out of three LSATs was a 140." Are you doing full-length PTs as part of your studying? Passively watching videos isn't enough to develop the test-taking sk…
  • Thanks!! Sounds great!

  • @"J.Dizzle" said: They lower your GPA if you have withdrawn from a course? No. Only if the withdraw is punitive (withdraw fail)

  • Are you rushing through the passage and then finding yourself going back to it a lot? You can save a lot of time by reading the passage more slowly/carefully so you only have to refer back for line-specific questions
