I'm glad you posted this so that I make the time to potentially deal with this issue! I completely withdrew from a semester and have two other Ws (from 2010 to 2018). If those were calculated into my GPA, I'd be screwed! I already have a bad 10-cred…

Oh, I like what @JustDoIt said! Do you have a personal statement topic? If not, maybe make a story about your life in school into your personal statement.

I'm interested in tutoring, too. @BinghamtonDave when is the best time to get a tutor, after finishing the entire CC?
-
It is very difficult to go from 147 to 160 in 4 months without serious studying. That being said, I'm glad you're able to make the time! Don't forget that burnout is a real and serious issue! I've been studying for 2 months, and I think that by the …

AND a great example for your kids.

You are amazing!

I HAVE ONE! Any of you who have finished the LG section of the CC probably remember that awful game about the male/female lizards and snakes. The first time I read the question, I literally laughed out loud because I knew I was screwed. Yesterday, I…

Considering you already know the foundational information, 10 points is improbable, but I definitely won't say impossible. Take a week off to shake off the feelings (maybe fear, regret, doubt, etc), then approach the information as if you've never l…

Are you timing yourself when you do problems? I typically will print out the problem, put my phone's stopwatch on, and do the best I can. Just knowing that I'm timing myself adds a little bit of the pressure that I'm going to feel on PTs/exam day. A…

I have a crazy amount of anxiety/a few anxiety disorders, along with bipolar disorder (typically depression)... so I totally understand feeling like you're stuck in a bad place. My suggestions: 1) Therapy. Find someone you like. 2) Download the ap…

Are you fluent in translating into "lawgic"? If not, you need to start there. Are you struggling more with timing or accuracy? Or maybe both?
-
Exactly! Good luck!

@FixedDice that's what I said lol. But yeah, that's the article! Ok editing this because I think I understand what you're saying better. I'm sure Yale's admission ideals mirror other T14 schools-- at least for the majority.

I think LSAT prep poisoned my brain. People post bad arguments on Facebook, and my first thought is often, "ANALOGY THAT REALLY ISN'T ANALOGOUS ENOUGH". #19commonargumentflaws The amount of times I have said, "That reminds me of an LSAT passage I r…

With the discrepancy between your RC sections and the rest of the test, I would start drilling RC. It's you're biggest opportunity for improvement, and it seems like you have a good understanding of LR/LG.

Where you work isn't very relevant to law schools. Maybe if you got a job in the legal field it would carry a little weight. Focus on what feels right for you. If you want to work around people (I always do), recognize that it can be draining, and p…

Not to be discouraging, but going from a 150 to a 170 in three months means you'll have to go from getting 53-54 questions right to getting 86 right... which takes A LOT of study time. I'm definitely not saying it's impossible to hit 170, but I know…
-
Just to echo what everyone else is saying, it's better to spend your time truly learning than rushing through PTs. When you're a few weeks away from exam day, and you really want to work on stamina, taking more than one a week is a good idea. As fo…

I wouldn't say it's your diagnostic... but I'm not sure a label really matters at this point. I'll also say that if you're deciding between Ultimate and Ultimate +, definitely get the plus. Having the ability to drill the hardest questions is a game…

I think it's fine, as long as they can speak to your work ethic and work quality. I finished up my last two years of college online, so I had a similar issue. What I've read online pretty much says that for schools that aren't T14, it's almost like …
-
I'm glad you got it! It's totally worth the investment-- especially when every point around 170 is so valuable!
-
I wouldn't even mention the major change. Most people change their majors multiple times, and it'll seem like you didn't care enough to work hard on courses you weren't passionate about. If that's the actual reason (totally valid irl), I would say s…

Thank you. I don't feel like I've made a lot of progress, but that's probably because I'm comparing my "before" to how I think I'll score on the LSAT in September.

The energy drink I use really depends on the day. I have heart problems, so I really have no business drinking any of them. I usually stick to an 8-oz Red Bull, but there are certain Monsters that aren't carbonated. They would be perfect for LSAT da…

Ok so just to throw something new into the mix: I quit the job I hated to study for the summer. However, I anticipated this move and prepared for it in a way that most people can't... just because their jobs work differently than mine did. I was wor…
-
@JustDoIt omg. So if you don't mind me asking, how much did you increase your score by?
-
So my plan was to study from October to June and retake in July and/or September. I wound up getting a serious concussion a month into studying, and forgot basically everything I had learned. I restarted in May. I'll be taking the LSAT for the first…
-
Since applications are due Nov 1st (typically), can you take the LSAT in November?
-
I would do the harder problem sets that you now have access to. Learning the information is more important than taking PTs over and over. How's your RC? Based on the scores you posted (-6, -6, -8), it seems like you'd be around -18 to be at a 156. I…

If you're not applying anywhere early decision, and the wedding is important to you, taking the November test is still fine. I'll be taking September and November, since I got a concussion that prevented me from taking it in July. I don't think it'l…
