@"Nicole Hopkins" said: Just got $90,000 from Northwestern right off the bat with a 2.74/170. Miracles do happen y'all That's super awesome! Congratulations!

Even for a splitter, I still think the advice above holds. Try your best to kill the LSAT and put together the best possible application. Schools know what other schools you're likely to get into with your numbers - you don't need to show them acc…

I'm also pretty sure I've read there's an exception for people with extensive work experience and definitely for publications. I'd try to keep the resume itself to under 2 pages not including publications, which can go extra. People will likely gla…

I have an almost identical strategy to @"Cant Get Right" - repeat at longer time intervals, time with a stopwatch and record time for each individual game, but only really care about the section. My one exception is that I hardly ever retire a sect…

I think the LSAT writers are banking on people being suspicious of arts being replaced with artists. But ultimately there's no art without artists, so if you're anticipating developments in the arts you are necessarily anticipating the artists prod…

I just write down the incremental time on top of the page (let's say 6min; 14min, 24min, 34min) and then do the math during BR to figure out how much each game took. I forget to do it half of the time, though, especially if the games are giving me …

I don't think the acceptance letter from another school will factor in all that much. With or without an acceptance letter from Vanderbilt, if you apply to a school with numbers well above their 75 percentile and you are able to convince them that y…

@"Accounts Playable" said: I'll definitely be using my Surface for law school unless I'm convinced otherwise. I'm intrigued by the Surface. My 6th grader has one and loves it, and it's beautiful and light, so I might be tempted to get…

This might be a little late, as you can't go back in time and change the past, but I think the general wisdom is that you only do a couple of problem sets when you first go through the curriculum (enough to commit the concepts to memory and see them…

I have to use both a PC and a Mac for work, and I've been using both for a couple of decades (academia seems to have been heavily drinking the Apple Koolaid, and workplaces with a lot of highly credentialed bosses followed suit). I would NEVER spend…

Hi @emgeesea you can't use hired and interviewed as interchangeable because not all the people interviewed get hired. Some probably mess up badly in their interview and don't get the job. All the people hired are interviewed, but not all the peopl…

I generally bracket at least the conclusion, especially for tricky questions like parallel reasoning questions, sometimes for others. Takes virtually no extra time and makes it less likely to make a mistake because the attractive trap talks about s…

Awesome - just ordered some powder and some sticks from Amazon. 180, here I come! Thanks for the thread @danielznelson!

The difficulty for the sections is assigned based on how 7Sage users perform on every section. I think the specific breakdown is proprietary, but roughly the better 7Sagers do, the fewer points that section is going to get. I think games are a str…

I am very intrigued by this. I love coffee as well (Guatemalan, black, made in an espresso machine, thank you very much) but I'm intrigued by the "different caffeination" experience. Too much coffee gives me a literal "buzz" that's more energy tha…

Having a day or two in between might actually help the BR - you're more likely to forget your initial bias and look at the question with fresh eyes. If you have the willpower to not check the answers, go for it!
-
If it's just your "together" time that is precious and not extendable, not your time in general, you can try and take the section separately beforehand, whenever it's convenient to each of you. That would add ~40 minutes of actual BR to the session…

Thank you so much!

I'm very happy to hear that - it helps if you personally know the people involved and you've graduated recently enough that they still remember you as a person rather than a file. Maybe that 7Sage karma IS after all redeemable for real life karma …

@nader.parham said: Do you think it would be ok if I take 6 new sections every other day and redo them in the days between and a week after that just redo them until I finish the bundle? I don't think the details of how you pick and spread out the…
-
Well, first thing would be to take a nice deep breath. I realize that's easy for me to say, and I'd be upset as hell (and probably crying, too), but that wouldn't help anything. The good news is that your GPA is in the worst case scenario what you…
-
I think you definitely have a shot at T14 - the calculator gives you >50% chance at all but the top 10 most selective schools. It also looks like you still have a take left, so if you're serious about T14 you can take June and see if you can cra…

@nader.parham said: Should I retake each game that I got using @Pacifico strategy, one month later? Do you think it would be ok if instead I finish the bundle using @Pacifico strategy and then redo the bundle again section by section instead of do…

The law schools care about the LSDAS GPA only (that's the GPA calculated by the LSAC using their own formula for converting grades into 0-4 numbers and weighing them based on credits). I wouldn't get excited about it being 0.1 higher unless that wa…
-
@allison.gill.sanford thank you for creating this thread. It's sometimes helpful to stop and think about how we do something, and RC is the most difficult section to "explain". I also believe it's the section where it's most difficult to adopt a p…

Diagramming is your best bet on this. If not full on diagramming with arrows, at least "All C's are SBO's. Most SBO's are... and so on". Try diagramming with the last conditional as contrapositive, so it links up with the rest of the premises. Pay…

@nader.parham I would consider going back to games later even if you "get them", like @"Cant Get Right" suggested. Especially if you're struggling with them. Mastery and speed require a lot of practice. A lot more than you might imagine, for some…
