They are still very much common. There were a total of three on December test, and five on September test. Here are a couple links to articles that break down the distribution of LR question types for each for these two tests. Some names might be di…

Studying for the LSAT while working is hard, but it's possible and you can do it! It's a completely different experience compared to when someone can dedicate all their time to it. I've done both: studied full time during a Summer break in undergrad…

All great tips above for LG. I just want to add a note about mindset, because I believe that to also be important. I made it a point to remind myself that anytime I was seeing a new game, or getting stuck on one, none of it was new. I have done eve…

@goingfor99th said: I brought a completed PT I had performed relatively well on to the test center with me. I reviewed it up until the time I had to check in, at which point I threw it in the trash. Lol I did the same thing. Took PT 82 3 day…

@"sbc.mom_3x" said: Interesting advice. Not to check answers. I want to remember this come test day for me. Absolutely. You don't want any potential mistakes to be messing with your confidence on game day. A lot of people even suggest just …

@"jh.lee_jenny" Yeah I'd definitely change your testing spot sometimes. I actually took 90% of my PTs at home or in the office before work, but almost all of my time drilling in a Starbucks. I fully believe that learning how to process LSAT in such …

I used the Trainer, and I think that for the price it's a great LSAT textbook. However, I don't think it will do you much good at this point. You are already mixing two different systems between PS and 7Sage, and I feel like trying to mess with anot…

I second @"Alex Divine"'s last comment on writing out your own explanations. It takes a lot of time, but pushes you to understand questions much deeper, and sort of engrain your reasoning process. When I first started taking timed PTs, I would get b…

Oh man, I remember this question. The way I went about it is that the first four answers are out of score and can be eliminated pretty quickly, giving us E by POE. Now for the correct answer, note that the first sentence in the prompt says that dema…

@"jh.lee_jenny" said: @pioneer321 I've actually tried to shorten my time when studying for the December exam, sometimes ending the LR section with about 8 minutes to spare... But then again, on the real exam I still had difficulty emulating su…

Confidence drills, like mentioned by @"Alex Divine" sound like a great idea in your case. Just because you have already seen those PTs, doesn't mean that there isn't anything you can still learn from them. Since you will be taking the tests you hav…

Well... Spivey's team should know what they are doing, especially with regards to HLS, since they have Kate Buttenbaum (HLS's past director of admissions) working as a current employee. This article, to me, presents one of those hypothetical maybe a…

Hey so I know a lot of people already responded, but I figured to chime in too. It's pretty normal for people who have not taken the LSAT/applied recently to be completely misinformed. Although I only had to take the test twice, I also had to deal w…

+1 on @"Cant Get Right"'s point about confidence building. Although I never recorded myself, I got the idea to mentally gauge my confidence on answer choices for LR and RC after watching the video of his Q&A. Doing that definitely helped to shav…

@goingfor99th said: No. Not sure why this is. It could be because I'm not competitive enough, or because they don't offer it until you apply/register for whatever financial aid stuff you need to? I'll find out about all this stuff sometime n…

First of all I'd apply to all T-14 schools that send you unsolicited waivers. Your numbers are good, and it seems like the $30 for LSAC report is worth a better acceptance. I'd also email all other schools and ask for a fee waiver, and definitely ap…

@"marino.zach" said: @"Cant Get Right" that's a great point. My main thought process in doing that many was just to get used to the timing of the test and sitting and focusing for that long, since that's a challenge for me. I was going to do…

@"Seeking Perfection" Great, this is really helpful. NYU was the most concerning one to me, since that they explicitly say "average" in their admissions FAQ. Kinda assumed it's bs based on lsn, but figured to ask.

@"Seeking Perfection" said: If the addendum is something more substantial than that you studied more, I would use it. If it is just studying better, probably only use it if asked. They don't make a huge difference anyway since most schools r…

@TheMikey ,@"Seeking Perfection" Is it the same for much larger increases? I went up by 18 points between my first and second takes, and wondering whether I should be writing an addendum for all schools, or just the ones that specifically request …

@kimmy_m66 said: +1 on the intuition point. The more sections you will do, the more natural it will feel. On PT's and the real test I would go to diagraming when there is an abundance of conditional logic paired with tough to grasp language. I…
-
Seems like a pretty good place to be at, since what you will see on the real test will look more like those recent ones. If you have been doing more of the new sections, that might be the reason for discrepancy, because you may just be more used to …

I was pretty confused by this too. Are you guys actually scheduling one, and if so, will you be submitting your app first?
-
Hey man, idk if you are already doing that, but if you are really studying that much, are you doing any sort of gym/sports/exercising? Taking a couple of hours off for a workout every other day has has done great things for me in keeping my sanity d…

Ahh see I didn't know there was a deadline to withdraw without losing money .. thats perfect. I'll go ahead and register and if I'm not PTing by when I want by the deadline, I can push back to September. I hear really good things about a site in …

It really does depend on where you'll be testing. That's kind of what I did by dropping off the Sept test, and signing up for Dec instead. Although I did end up loosing money for being an idiot and withdrawing too late, so you might wanna be careful…
