  • @LivingThatLSATdream said: You don’t want to be staring at your watch looking at the seconds while you are finishing an answer. Within the minute is fine, really. Honestly, I doubt you’ll even look at it after the proctor calls 5 minutes. I us…
  • I think you guys completely missed the point of what I was talking about - there's no problem with resetting the minute hand. It only takes me like 5 seconds to do that. The one I'm referring to is the hand that ticks every second. Like when you co…
  • @AudaciousRed said: LoL. Oh man, do I know this one. I've had it happen once where took a PT and missed an entire page that was stuck together in my book. ALWAYS look for the "STOP" at the bottom of the page before you make an any assumpt…
  • Definitely agree that thorough BR is crucial. Personally, I hate how time-consuming and boring it is, but it's helped so much with developing a strong understanding of the test. What I do is print out two copies of the PT I plan on taking. I take t…
  • One of my most favorite movies is The Lincoln Lawyer. I just watched it for like the 10th time last weekend and it was pretty motivating. Not necessarily because I want to be a lawyer like the one in the movie, but more-so because it's law-related. …
  • If drilling by question type is your concern, then powerscore sells questions by type for each section in two series. There's a 1-20 reading comprehension by passage, 1-20 logical reasoning by question type, and 1-20 logic games by game type. And th…
  • I'm a little confused. You mentioned that you're doing "untimed" LR sections with BR but later said "Even though it was untimed I still made to sure to do 25 in 25 and then went for the low-hanging fruit as you said." What exactly are you doing on …

  • Montana of 300 and NBA Youngboy lately.
  • @LastLSAT said: I was still about 3 points below my PT average when I hit 172 this February I think this is part of the reason why you underperformed your numbers; not having a 172 as opposed to a 165 until March.

  • Around when will the video explanations for PT 83 go up, and when will the PT 83 extension stop being on sale?
  • I think this mostly comes down to each person and what works best for them. I've been taking practice tests for a while now and generally don't eat or eat very little before taking a test and that seems to work best for me, whether I'm taking a PT a…
  • @Hamaseh_S said: @sakox010 said: Nice, I had issues back in college with body dysmorphia and exercise addiction, glad you were able to overcome it! I love jump roping lol it's crazy how much you can do with just a rope. This is…
  • Will any of the new testing dates be in the afternoon like the June one?
  • @Hamaseh_S said: Hi I'm Hamaseh (pronounced Hama-say) but everyone just calls me Ham. I just wanted to comment on this thread since it's so hype hahahaha I'm 23, just graduated with a degree in Neuroscience, lived in Boston for 4 years bu…
  • Ideally yes, but there are going to be people who keep bubbling answers after time is up and they run the risk of getting caught by a proctor and that proctor issuing a misconduct notice to LSAC. Think of it like driving through a red light. Do peop…
  • Haha, this question really cracks me up. My father used to work at a biglaw firm doing international commercial transactions. Back when I was around 5 years old, he brought me to the firm one time and one of the lawyers there asked me what I wanted …
  • My scores range from around 167-174 on PTs and my blind review is in the 175-180 range. Personally, my blind review process involves going through each question, not just ones that I circled. I find this helpful specifically for LR because even on q…
  • Definitely agree with the approach of having specific clothes that you wear for taking PTs/studying for the LSAT. Personally, I often feel cold in room-temperature rooms if I wear a short-sleeved shirt. I took the June LSAT in a long-sleeved shirt a…
  • Are you blind reviewing? Obviously speed is important but at this point it sounds like you need to be understanding why the answers are wrong. This could mean grinding through a specific problem for 10-15 minutes before finally understanding why the…
  • @"Bay Area" said: Hi guys, so I'm taking the December exam and currently I've been scoring between 165-169. My scores don't drop from that range, but aren't as consistent as I'd like. I'll be getting a 167 3x and then a 165 all of a sudden. …
  • @jkatz1488 said: Woah! I did not know this was a source of fee waivers! Good to know. Hopefully my score will get me that waiver anyway but maybe not for the reach schools A lot of schools give fee waivers, but it sounds like some schools pr…
  • I think law school fairs can potentially be very valuable. There was a user on TLS that said he went to the DC forum and was able to talk to the Dean of UVA there. On top of getting a fee waiver, he had what sounds like a good conversation with the …
  • Just don't make it GeorgeTTTown@hotmail.com or something silly like that
  • This gets really specific, but technically you can get into at least one law school without an LSAT score. My undergraduate university has a law school that's ranked ~20 by US News and the law school has a program only for that university's undergra…

  • @Clementine_ES said: Here's what I do: I take a PT, then I BR the first section of the PT. I then look at the answers only for that section (sometimes I cover the other sections answers with a piece of paper just to make sure I don't see anyth…
  • Found another game where diagramming strategy comes into play. PT 29 Game 4 https://classic.7sage.com/lsat_explanations/lsat-29-section-3-game-4/ What I was originally trying to get at in this thread was that I felt it might be easier to just dia…
  • PT 65 Game 1 is a good example of what I was trying to get at - notice how in the explanation J.Y. writes down each rule and then goes on to make a master diagram separate from the rules. For me at least that feels like the more fluid and efficient …
