To me, it seems like a reasonable substitute for “if”— making it sufficient. I could be wrong, but I think that it could also be a substitute for “only if” in a different context.
So I'm going to message you back tomorrow because I'm exhausted, but what @"Leah M B" said is just so relatable right now. I struggle with chronic illness, and cooking takes everything out of me. I am 0% Mexican and Mexican food is my favorite. I al…
I don't think taking the LSAT 6 times looks much different than taking it 7 times. Do you have a good strategy for writing addenda for both your GPA (external factors impacting it) and your retakes?
Anyway, don't underestimate the value of that sch…

I'm going to try out white noise and see how it goes! And yeah, I can see how music could distract, for sure. Though, since I'm often studying in very quiet places, I find the silence to be super distracting at times, haha…
I think that taking a look at the job market in Boston is important if you're looking at BC, plan on living in Boston post-graduation, and you don't want to work for the government. BC students are going to be competing for jobs with BU and Harvard …
@lsatgodjk I actually just mentioned the blood sugar spikes in a private message! In case anyone else reads this, my old endocrinologist told me that it's really important to eat fat and/or protein with your carbs. It helps keep glucose levels stabl…
Give yourself a break! Seriously. Take a break. Burnout will not go away without intervention.
And read this.

Most of the time, very detailed definitions are thrown in to trip us up. I read a passage today that threw in three definitions in back-to-back sentences. The passage was about the polarity of the ocean floor so... I wasn't exactly engaged lol. If t…
Ok so I just got the LSAT Trainer book. Something about the phrasing of a few key concepts just really got some things to click. After 8ish hours of reading/practicing with the entire RC section, along with 5 RC problem sets, I went from -12 on an R…
I guess that happens if there are more accommodated test takers than there are rooms for those who need accommodations. As of now, I'm still scheduled for September 8th. I would bet pretty much everything I own (not my cats) that you will be taking …
As @teamteamvicster said, some states offer the ability to practice with a foreign law degree. I know that California is also on the list-- though it is a short list. The tuition fees are generally cheaper, though the numbers listed on websites are …
If you're not improving, I think you should delay. Everyone has the potential to improve over time. If you were motivated enough to go through those giant books, you definitely have it in you to power through the stuff you're losing points on.
That…
I wouldn't do any practice test sections until you're done with the core curriculum. You don't want to burn through the PTs because you will want them to practice with later. There are some LR drills built into the curriculum, too. Keep in mind that…
I don't listen to anything because it's too distracting. Some people say that classical music (no lyrics) helps them. If I'm in a coffee shop or somewhere not very quiet, I'll listen to a white noise track on my phone.
If you can lower the dose of your med (OF COURSE WITH THE HELP AND APPROVAL OF A DOCTOR), I bet you would be able to process information faster and more accurately with better sleep. Even just lowering the dose a little bit can help a lot. If you're…
I just heard about this! I don't think it will happen with law schools because the intention behind the decision was to better our country. Who knew that a business would do that?
Omg now I feel so much better hearing about PT 72. I got -17 combined LR when my diagnostic was -22. I was so upset. But I actually thought LG wasn't too difficult on it. @keets993 take it! I didn't think it was that bad while I was taking it, but t…
So I just got a lot of good feedback about LR, and most of it was that I need to slow down. I totally understand feeling like you're going to run out of time, but it's better to run out of time on one or two questions and not have overconfidence err…
Are you sure you want to retake? Six takes is a lot. I would think about writing an addendum if you are going to do that. Also, out of curiosity, what are you going to grad school for?
To echo everyone, don't worry about it. Seriously, it's worth the time investment. Sometimes, I would have to do a single logic game for an hour or two at a time. That got me going from -13 LG diagnostic to -5 on my last PT. (Still working on it!) …
@KLGMK550 the newer LSATs don't really have a harder half and an easier half. From what I've read, that 10 in 10 rule is also pretty obsolete. But if I can't get down to a 50/50 shot with the answer choices, I skip it and come back to it. There's no…
