@cmelman95 what are the sections where you were scoring 0-2, and what are these new ones where you are scoring worse? Are they from the more difficult tests? That would indicate that your skills are the same - still not where they need to be, but no…

@cmelman95 when you say "I can't consistently get better than -4" what does that mean? You hardly ever get better than that, or you usually get better than that but still occasionally miss more? And where did you start? I know it's common wisdom th…

Yes, add the "should" and you're good to go. Without the should it implies that the show will be canceled if it doesn't attract the audience. Just because it should doesn't mean it will...

They trick you by mentioning that the tulips are the only plants in the garden. But when they say "all the plants in the garden are tall plants", the plants in the conclusion are relative to the whole world of plants, not just of plants in the gard…

Yes, the negation of "all are" is "some are not". And some can be as little as one. I believe JY has a very detailed chart about all these indicators and their negations, with a hypothetical pool of 0-100 elements, and how many of them are in each…

NA questions are tricky because the authors have a lot of ways to make wrong answers attractive and can pick tiny little necessary assumptions that don't even seem that important. The ultimate test for a correct AC is the negation test : if the oppo…

For the games there's a place in the mobile app, in the main menu to the side that says "logic games". If you open that, it tells you how each LG section is ranked (Easiest, Easier, Medium, Harder, Hardest), which correspond to the 1-5 rankings in …
-
Looks like you ARE improving. 10+ points after the curriculum and 5 PT's is not something to scoff at. Your BR scores show that you have a very good understanding of the material, you just need to go from command to mastery - committing the basic …
-
Yes, by "the stimulus is giving you A" I mean A is given as a premise. Sorry about being unclear.
-
Oh, I'm by no means an engineer or an expert. But I do have some relatives who are, and they think they can measure everything and have all the answers, so I kind of instinctively didn't trust those engineers in the stimulus. Especially when they a…

This is kind of a rock and a hard place situation. On one hand, "much lower ranked than 50" is starting to get in the territory of undesirable regardless of money (just my opinion, assuming typical circumstances upon graduation). On the other hand…
-
You are right that for answer E if you plug B in (new drugs shouldn't be on the market) you get A (histamine shouldn't be on the market), but the stimulus doesn't give you B. It gives you A. The premise is that the author thinks the new histamine…
-
Hi @"Darth Jurist" - yes, fitting the answer choice between the premises and the conclusion should help identify the correct answer, but you still have to have a very good command of what the premises are telling/not telling you and what the conclus…

It will take 14 weeks studying 3 hours a day. If you think that sounds ridiculous and like something I just pulled out of a hat, you're right, but any "hard" answer you're going to get will be exactly the same. A 6 point improvement by September is …
-
I just wanted to say that you sound like you have an excellent head on your shoulders, and that's an asset that no amount of prep can give you and that will serve you very well in life. You're humble but "gritty" and willing to work hard, and you ha…

It's not clear from your post if you've already been accepted to a law school, because that would change the circumstances a bit. Not enough to turn down a Fulbright though - as @Pacifico already alluded to, the kind of job you would likely be gett…

Yay, BU broke into the top 20!
-
If you're doing BR properly (as @noobie1 pointed out), then I don't see a lot of benefit doing sections untimed, because you don't have a problem doing them untimed. You have a problem doing them timed. So can try and drill several old (1-38) LR s…
-
-10 timed to -1/0 BR is certainly unusual. It's going to be difficult for any of us to diagnose what's going on, short of sitting down and watching you take a PT while you speak out every thought that goes through your mind, but we can certainly try…
-
Congratulations on your improvement! And I wouldn't worry too much about the 144 for two reasons - most schools only care about your top score and there's nothing you can do to change the past, so focus on crushing that June. The 160 should give you…
-
I don't think they expect perfection in spelling - it's likely understood that as a lawyer you will be typing things up and using a spell checker. They are more interested in seeing that you are able to express your ideas coherently in writing, wit…

Congratulations on the top school with money! I'd go ahead and send those e-mails - I can't think of any circumstances in which a brief thank you note would hurt. Unless, of course you actually do say "I think you're yummy!" ;-p

I'm pretty sure LSAC releases your writing sample along with the score, so they will most likely see it. As for whether or not they do read it, from what I've been able to find online, they tend to look at the samples of internationally educated st…

@Coolmama09 - For sequencing games the questions usually give you an extra piece of information, so absolutely go ahead and write a miniboard next to the question incorporating this extra piece of information. Most of the time there are a couple of…
-
Maybe I'm a chicken, but I don't think I've ever been comfortable enough to move on without reading all the ACs. I've done it a couple of times when running out of time and it worked out OK, so it can definitely work, but I'd be afraid to do it on…
-
Forgot to add - I write everything on the second page, because all but the first question are there, and I like to have everything on the same page. For the first question, which is usually an orientation I refer to the rules in the stimulus anyway…
-
The good news is that the newer tests give you two pages for games, so ample space to get organized (no more trying to write the master board on the side of the page because the game spreads all the way to the bottom, a la PT57 Game 4). I often wish…
-
It's just one PT. And it didn't completely ruin your score, so probably it was the most difficult section of the thing - even if it wasn't in an abstract statistical sort of way, it happened to hit all of your weak points. But it's still just one …
-
I'd be tempted to give it another go in June, or more likely September. Your GPA is really high, and it would be a shame to sell yourself short for the sake of one extra year. You have to think hard about what went wrong in September, causing you…

I'd only use 62-72 for drilling games if you've already taken those exams as full PT's. I used the early games for initial drilling, and then added new sections as I was done with the respective PT. By now I've accumulated ~55 game sections that I'v…
