That is not a tiny victory! Congrats!
-
I'm glad you got it! I literally just memorized that "W", "U", and "U" are "negate sufficient". "Add pennies to the jar until Bob tells you to stop" means that if Bob does not tell you to stop, keep adding pennies to the jar. If you get stuck in th…

Unfortunately, most of the SA questions really do require lawgic translations. Some of the questions may just have assumptions that jump out at you, but most of them are subtle. I would also recommend reviewing the advanced lawgic part of the CC and…

I obviously trust @"David.Busis" on anything related to admissions. Schools love to inflate their undergrad statistics because it helps with their ratings. However, if you slayed your grad school classes, I'm sure that helps you.

Keep a list of the question types you got wrong. If you got a few of the same type wrong, drill the entire question type. Redoing the problems once or twice will only keep things in your short-term memory, and it will be difficult to translate the c…

Definitely. Your BR score is a great indicator of your potential. Keep in mind that most people do about 3 points worse on exam day than they do while PTing in the comfort of their own homes. Also, scores around the median leave you with more opport…

I'll typically spend 15-30 min on a question the first time around, but I've definitely spent more than that on a few questions. If I try and I'm so lost that I literally have no idea how to set up the game board, I'll stop and watch the video first…

Love it! My dad was just telling me how I have to be smarter from all of this studying. I really do find myself thinking differently and more rationally. I wish I had before and after neural imaging done; I would put the images side-by-side and fram…

Congrats! I think you should go unless you aren't really considering the school as an option.

If your recommenders are willing to write multiple versions for your ED application and your other applications (idk if this is even allowed), then personalizing them would be good. Otherwise, don't do that haha.

Ok so I'm always up for a good pun. For the overall title: The Brief Due Process Sage Page 7 and the Legal Profession (eh... it rhymes) For sections (call the menu Sidebar... or the whole blog?): Burden of Proofreading Application Capital Off…

To piggyback off of what was already said, I also think that 160 is a good goal to have for the September exam. PTing is good for stamina, but revisiting the CC is what is going to get your score up.
-
I also don't think that the timing really matters! I'm sure you could write about something that happened in elementary school if it shaped who you are today.
-
I've read in a few places that the June test was really tough, so I don't think you're alone in that score drop. My plan for the week before the September exam is to just do a little bit each day, taking 2 days off. I won't be doing full PTs or 6-ho…

Yeah, I guess it's possible that it costs extra to get the rights to print this stuff out...
-
Out of curiosity, how much have you improved so far? I can't believe that test was curved so much! That's insane! I would've freaked out on test day if it was that hard and probably wouldn't have done my best-- regardless of the curve.
-
If you're not looking at T14 schools, I think that scholarship is a huge factor to consider. I mean, it is for everyone, but I would apply to some schools with LSAT averages below your score as well to see what you can get.
-
Have you gotten through the entire CC in 70 hours? I've been working at the CC for a few hundred, and I'm still not done with RC. I would suggest slowing down and redoing the problem sets. 70 hours is really not a lot of study time when it comes to …
-
YES. Seriously, yes. Anyone looking to score a 160+ should get it if he/she can make it work financially. Since you're looking to score 170+, I'm tempted to say that you need it. Of course, it's possible to score that high without it if you're natur…

So I'm only 26, but still considered an "adult learner" by some schools. Some schools have specific scholarships for adult learners and have statistics for how many adult learners are in their law programs. I think anything that helps inflate their …
-
I didn't think about that! It's called "grab" on a Mac, in case anyone with a Mac is reading this. Is the resolution ok when you print it?
-
"Justify the reasoning" is another term for PSA, so that's my assumption. (See what I did there?) The "except" question sounds like and "MSS Except" question, and the first one seems like a standard "principle" question.
-
@Ohnoeshalpme Level 3 questions are always the hardest for me! I don't understand why, but it's like that in LR and LG, too.
-
I've heard that the paper in the test booklets is pretty thing, and that erasing can rip through it. After reading that multiple times, I've been trying to cut down on erasing as much as possible.
-
I'm going to second what @JustDoIt said haha. Having access to the hardest problem sets is a great way to increase your score. I actually find the level 3/5 questions to be harder than the level 4/5 questions most of the time. I haven't figured out …
-
@BinghamtonDave thanks! I'm almost done with the CC, so I'll probably wait and see what I can't nail after a few BRs.
-
I think you have a great topic! I think some schools actually ask if you're the first person in your family to graduate from high school. If they don't, that's a great thing to write about. Schools love that stuff because it shows a little extra amb…
-
My understanding is that a withdrawal (passing-- definitely not failing!) doesn't count in your gpa. I think it would be weird if that didn't apply in Canada. Will you let me know if you find any Canadian schools that hold the withdrawals against yo…
-
Yeah! So on PTs it's obviously ideal to set a timer for 35 min, but for general practice, I put the stopwatch on and just see how long it takes me. Every time I do a problem, either my timing gets better or I answer more questions right-- sometimes …
-
@ebalde1234 aww thank you! I just have some experience with the time crunch lol. I got a concussion right after Thanksgiving, and that's the attitude I had to take when I restarted everything in May. I had literally just finished the entire LR part …
