I would suggest looking through the webinars. Also, burnout really can happen to anyone. If you're testing in September, be extra vigilant. I would suggest making one of your 7 weekly study days a half day or a day off. Having some relaxation/social…

I'm probably not going to PT with 5 sections just because my test date is so soon and I just recently started PTing. But if stamina is an issue for you, I would practice with a fifth section. Even if you know which one is the experimental, you'll st…

I was going to suggest BR calls, too. I'm having an informal one next weekend-- probably PT 74. Of course, @keets993 has them going regularly. Was anxiety affecting your July performance?
-
I have always been a highly anxious person. What helps me is to realize that this is not my only opportunity to take the LSAT. It takes some of the pressure off when I think about the fact that this is not my only shot. Even if I bomb September, at …

When are you testing? Are you struggling with a particular section?
-
@glaezo sounds good to me!
-
@"irene1990.xu" perfect! Do you have a PT preference between 73 and 74?
-
Omg that's truly amazing. You should do a webinar (even just on YouTube). And I appreciate the endorsements of @Sami and @"Cant Get Right" because I really need a tutor for a few question types!

Advil PM may be a little too strong. I guess you'll find out!

@AshleighK thank you. I coincidentally had plans for a friend come visit me for a few days, so I wound up taking almost a week off. It's not how I planned my schedule to be a month before D-Day. I was trying to use that time to process things a litt…

My AP credits were entered as "pass" on my college transcript. That being said, "passing" P/F grades are not a part of your GPA. I'm still waiting on my second transcript to be processed by LSAC, so I can't see what that looks like on my end, but I'…

Congrats! Seriously, that's amazing. I have ADHD, and I've definitely had success through creating a detailed schedule, but I'm not sure how much I can really help. If you have any specific things you want to discuss, lmk.

Hey! So I have been dealing with the same thing. One of my best friends from high school died less than a week ago, and the anxiety/feelings around that have been keeping me up until 1-4am. Considering I'm testing in four weeks, I'm not feeling good…
-
@LCMama2017 thanks for thinking of me! I'm definitely going to try this. I should also be getting my LSAT Trainer book in the mail soon (mostly interested in RC speed tips).
-
Yeah, so I'll put a little mark near a line number that is mentioned in a question. It's helpful for me because I tend to get lost for about 3 sentences in every difficult passage. Knowing this information ahead of time, if I'm feeling lost around a…

DO NOT take all of the PTs. The study schedule will tell you to do that, but... that's pretty crazy. Plus, you want to have some PTs leftover for the possibility of a retake. I have heard that 1-2 PTs a week is ideal. I also left the question bank a…
-
@shegotit you're welcome! I think it really depends on how busy the rest of your life is.
-
Possibly haha. Who knows.
-
Hey! I'm starting to BR with some people in small groups if you every want to join in! However, I'm moving into the low-mid 70s right now. I would encourage you to save the highest PTs until October/November. How often do you plan on taking a PT? I …

I think that after the Harvard lawsuit, schools are going to be much more "blind" to ethnicity factors. However, other types of diversity, like sexual/gender identity and disability, will be important for schools to look at. They want to increase th…

@39845892535 I'm applying to some Canadian schools, and apps are due November 1st. So I have to take September. I also have a motor disorder that gets worse when I am stressed. The first time will definitely be more stressful than my retake. So in S…
-
It's tough with an undisclosed test because you can't really target certain question types that you know you got wrong. Considering you really "should have" gotten around a 160, I would say to quickly go through the core curriculum, skipping the eas…
-
I'm pretty much in the same position as you-- recently started PTing and testing in September. Since there's a good shot I'll retake in November, I'm going to leave the upper 70s untouched. I would print some of the upper 60s, low-mid 70s, and 80s..…

I agree that it's pretty time consuming. That's why I went for the colors haha. However, I do like her idea of brackets, underlines, and boxes serving separate purposes.

Update: just got -0 on a 5/5 difficulty passage in
-
Other than what @MissChanandler said, I'm not really sure what you're talking about. The passage difficulty is based on the passage content, while the question ratings within that passage are completely separate from the content of the passage.

When you think about the interest rate on loans, you'd save even more money with that scholarship. But the situation comes down to what rankings you're looking at. For example, Penn vs Boston University-- take Penn. Boston University vs Loyola, look…

My plan is to drill in the low-mid 60s, and take PTs in the upper 70s and 80s. I want to save the upper 60s and low-mid 70s for the possibility of a retake. (I'm counting on it.) However, I'm testing in September, so I don't have time for a ton of P…

@"Victoria." I really like your idea about doing comparative passages last! In my experience, at least half of the questions can be answered just after reading passage A, and you can usually narrow down to two or three answers for the other question…
