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…

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 …

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.
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…

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…

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.

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 …
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…

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 …
