@"thor.plsn" That's amazing. Seriously. Wtf. How. But congrats! And @LivingThatLSATdream I would cry if I broke 170! Great job.
-
@"m.c lshopeful" Holy success story, Iron Man! Can we pretend that works? Haha
-
@"Leah M B" and @"David.Busis" thank you!
-
@"paulmv.benthem" I'm glad you're recognizing this as a win! As a perfectionist, I can totally relate. I used to refer to myself as a "recovering perfectionist", but I'm not really sure that I'm getting any better with it lol. I also think you're ri…

@Ohnoeshalpme is probably right. I took a look at the admissions course info last night, and pointing out weaknesses was discussed. Who knows, if you apply before the end of the year, the admissions committees may be in a rush to get on their vacati…
-
@LCMama2017 I have reviewed the info (definitely helpful), and like @Ohnoeshalpme said, I think that the course will pay for itself!
-
@"David.Busis" thank you! I am definitely interested in the consulting. I'm applying for next fall, including a few schools in Canada that have apps due November 1st. Should I be starting this stuff now?
-
@AudaciousRed hahaha I'm definitely not trying to sue the guy. Actually, he pled guilty and got a life sentence... but if there's a single mass shooter who really should've been placed in a psychiatric hospital, it's him. He had a really shitty lawy…
-
I did it. I'm not sure how I'll explain it yet haha. Honestly, I feel like the jump in my LSAT score will outweigh the gap in my resume. If anything, I'll twist it into how I learned financial responsibility in order to save up for my time off blahb…
-
Absolutely. Just don't make it seem like you're making excuses. I think the post above will explain everything you need to know!
-
While studying, I put aside a bunch of questions that I just couldn't get right, couldn't finish in the suggested time, or didn't feel like I "owned". I came back to them a few days later, and realized that some of the ones I got all right before we…
-
Thanks for asking! Now I'm excited about it. Is that weird?
-
Going from 161 to 165 is a 6-question jump. I know that I personally wouldn't be able to do it. MAYBE it would be possible if I studied 40+ hours a week and had one or two weaknesses I could exclusively target. That being said, targeting your weakes…
-
My stupid mistakes usually come from misreading a single word. While setting up my game boards, I started circling words like "before", "after", "only", and "exactly". In the questions, I now circle things like "could" and "must", and I pay special …
-
I really have nothing valuable to say, but I totally validate your frustration! I imagine that it would be harder to improve in between tests when you don't know what you got wrong. However, you should have a generally good idea from PTs. Are you ha…
-
When I do an LR drill, I always make a list of which question types I got wrong, along with the difficulty level. For example, my last drill had two level 5 strengthening questions that I got wrong. Clearly, I need to do some more of the "hardest" s…
-
I would just slide the information into why you want to attend that law school. The good news is that any type of nepotism is a factor within the law school, not the general university. Like Penn's website specifically says that if you have a parent…
-
I made my own flashcards. I think there are some online, but they're always hard to print out. It also helps you lean things when you write them down.
-
@Emily2122 congrats! That's a great score jump, and you have plenty of time to become one of the 7Sage legends who jumps over 20 points. @AshleighK you also have a great score increase! With that 158 BR now, I'm sure you'll have a 158 timed score …
-
The course is basically a bunch of videos explaining how to do a type of problem in detail, then videos taking you step-by-step through some problems, and then you get problem sets to try on your own. Each problem set comes with thorough video expla…
-
Plus!!! For sure. The LR drill packs and access to harder problem sets make a huge difference while studying. I guess if you're aiming to score in the 150s it wouldn't be as big of a difference, but I'm assuming that if you're looking at the top two…
-
Imagine you are arguing with the most ignorant person you know, and you HAVE TO show them up. If the answer to the issue at hand is black and white, like "a book" and "not a book", you can only argue that they labeled the thing a book when it's actu…
-
Oh, 10/10 would recommend making sure you're well-hydrated the few days before the test. Hydration levels don't reset when you wake up!
-
@"lady macbeth" The avocado toast thing is the most millennial thing I've heard all day. I love it. Also, I'm glad I read this, because now I know to bring my energy drink poured into a plastic bottle haha.
-
If you have any questions, other than what was answered by @testfromaway, call the LSAC. They know everything!
-
If you're good at high school level math (ACT/SAT level), I would look into which schools accept the GRE and possibly take that. Otherwise, it's important to realize that there are always people who get into schools with the lower-than-average LSAT …
-
Since this threat has resurfaced, print double-sided and on b&w draft!
-
Ugh, I really hate flaw questions. What I did with my hardest sections (legit got a level 1 weaken question wrong on my LR drill) is kept practicing them until I cried, then set all of that study material aside. I plan on getting a tutor when I'm do…
-
If your average PT is 167-171, there are a few things to consider. First, it is normal to score 3 points lower on exam day than on your PTs. (There have been a lot of discussions about this.) I think that if you can get your PTs to average a 169 (pr…
-
I would redo some of the problem sets. If you can swing it financially, upgrade your course to get access to harder questions, too.
