@"Alex Divine" while we are on this topic, I would love your addendum opinion. I had a 2.6 my first semester of college in 2010. I took a break from school and transferred in 2014. I had a 3.8+ for a year and a half at that school. I transferred to …

I would probably do something crazy like my top 10 Disney Channel Original Movies or top 10 episodes where DJ learns to not be selfish on Full House. Ok, I might not actually do that...
-
I'm still in the beginning stages of studying (finishing LR this week), but I write abbreviations next to some of the question stems, like NA and SA. MSS, strengthen, and weaken are typically in the question stems, so I don't find that necessary; I …

@bethbeth I thought they split up 100% extra time into two days. Is that not the case?
-
@stepharizona that is 100% possible! I'm not 100% clear on the rule because it won't apply to me... I just saw it somewhere on the LSAC website.
-
What you learn in LR will carry over into understanding the other sections. I think that you should do the course in order.
-
Would you be past 120 credits? No classes will count in your LSAC GPA once your degree has been earned.

When it comes to your career, let your resume do the talking. Anyone who is going to bust their ass to score high on the LSAT is going to have a good work ethic. A work LOR isn't going to tell them anything they don't already know, it'll just reinf…

Sleep more and you can get one point higher for being clear-headed and not misreading a question. Skip a question so you can revisit two others, and you can get another point higher. Drill one of the most common questions types so you can get an add…

Here is a quote from the LSAC website, which I think will solve the issue haha. "The uploaded photo must match your appearance on the day of the test (e.g., with or without beard)."

@"Alex Divine" I have been studying for about a month and a half now-- just starting RRE questions. I am taking the LSAT in June, under the assumption that I will retake in September.
-
@"Alex Divine" thanks! I would say MSS, MP/MC, weakening, SA, and flaw "except" questions are the toughest for me. I can do all of the 3/5 difficulty questions without a problem, so I understand the core concepts. As a pattern, the "except" question…

@jkatz1488 Thank you for sharing your experience. Sometimes I understand them well enough, and sometimes I don't. Occasionally, I will get the 4/5 and 5/5 difficulty questions right and the 1/5 and 2/5 difficulty ones wrong... maybe because I unders…

Assuming your accommodation isn't for the test to be formatted in a different text size, it should be exactly the same.
-
I think that is just a second major. I can't imagine what else that would mean.
-
I would delay. If a few extra months can get you into a better school and/or get you scholarship money, it's worth it.
-
Ok but you can reset a regular wrist watch to 12:00 and have it count up to 35 minutes for each section. I don't see how this would be any different. It seems kind of crazy.
-
Simply, it helps with speed. This isn't the only benefit (of course, accuracy improves), but it's the one I'm most interested in right now. While listening to JY go through answers in the video explanations, you can see when he immediately knocks an…
-
Can you only use two? If one of your LOR writers is a "worse writer" than the others, knock them off the list. That's what I have read over and over since applying to colleges. I guess you kind of have to make an assumption, but you have also probab…
-
Assuming you family supports you in your law school dreams, try as best as you can to make the time. Take 10 hours a week to PT, and get someone else to watch the kids. If you can't financially swing that, I would get up early, drink some coffee, an…

I've heard to take 2 exams a week, BRing them thoroughly, followed by drilling the apparent weaknesses. I would just do the 4-5 newest ones. It is way more important that you get enough sleep for the last week than to take one extra PT.
-
No idea but omg congrats! Seriously. I hope everyone you care about is crazy proud of you.

Hey! What part of Philly? I'm in KOP but I can drive. What's the situation with you not wanting to use the tutor anymore?
-
There are a ton of comments on here, so I'll be brief. The readers can tell when they are reading something in a student's authentic voice. If the rest of your paper is overly academic or casual, it will seem like you are trying to inject some acade…
-
I would look through the exact types of questions you got wrong. Before I learned to not do this, I took the LR part of a PT before I finished learning all of LR. I got -4 on one section and -10 on the other. I realized that the second section had 8…
-
I started to take notes at the beginning of the CC. I have never once looked through them. Things seem to really build on each other, which serves as a little bit of a review from past sections. I bought a white board/cork board combo that I dedicat…

Thanks, @10000019! My diagnostic was a 155. I am hoping for 165-170. I had -20 LR, -8 LG, and -4 RC. Clearly, LR is my biggest opportunity. However, I'm really starting to get it. I have about a week and a half left of LR until I'm done with it, and…
-
If you're looking at T14 schools, you're probably not going to cut it in the low-mid 160s. Statistically, you're looking for a score of 170, plus or minus 3. Take the extra time to get those extra 10 points. It will 100% be worth it. What if you can…
-
Honestly, you probably won't want to take three LSATs once you have done so many PTs. I know it eases some anxiety to know that you can take it three times, but if you really focus on nailing the CC, you will do great the second time (and likely the…
