@akistotle @ChaimtheGreat thanks!
-
@CurlyQQQ yup! What about you? And I'm going to do the same as @astrowise. I started another PT earlier this week but got a migraine. I guess the two-a-week plan will have to start next week!
-
@BinghamtonDave any idea why?
-
My understanding is that the curve is generally based on a true bell curve. Assuming you didn't go to college in Canada, when we think about "curving" grades in college, we are usually thinking about grade inflation. That's not how the LSAT works. B…

@LCMama2017 I would try a few times both ways and see what gets you a higher score. It really depends on how you are scoring rn. I always run out of time on the last passage, but I'm a slow LSAT reader. I think I'm too worried about remembering ever…

@astrowise honestly, the memory method doesn't work well for me. I have a very visually-oriented memory, so I do well when I'm asked to recall specific details (use of the word in a specific line, which was not mentioned in the passage, "according t…

Hi! So the first sentence uses "selfish" to indicate a separation (lack of cohesion) in interests. If you were to carry this definition over to the last sentence, you'd be saying that even the smallest acts of cohesion are instances of separate inte…

I'm pretty sure this isn't happening until 2019, but it will be optional for a short period of time. When are you testing?
-
Thank you!
-
@astrowise -4/-5 in LR is great! I understand that drive to want to be better, but I would love to be where you are right now! My LG is slacking because I always take like 3 min to set up the misc game boards. I just freeze after writing down the ru…

@lsatgodjk this stuff can be pretty mentally taxing. I would say 6-7 hours a day, tops, for the most part. That’s still full time hours. When I started, I was going 8-12 hours a day with breaks. It was the worst. I’ll still do it every once in a wh…

Are you already timing yourself, or are you still learning? For me, I write out the lawgic during parallel questions-- especially parallel flaw. Otherwise, I'll only do it for questions I'm really struggling with (IF I think it will help). I always …

Welcome! First suggestion, don't study 6 days a week. Burnout is real and detrimental to scoring well on test day. The last thing you want do to is zone out during a PT because you're "over it" or start losing your mind because you no longer have a …

You can definitely ask her for a LOR. You want someone who can speak to your drive, willingness to learn, and ability to engage/participate in the classroom. If you're applying to T14 schools, it's especially important that you get two academic LORs…

@astrowise sounds great! What are your biggest strengths/weaknesses?
-
I was definitely the girl studying for exams while doing cardio (gross) for a while. Like @"Habeas Porpoise" said, I would recommend saving the gym studying for webinars. You don't want to blow through new material while semi-attentive.
-
@AshleighK sounds great! Keep me updated.
-
@"irene1990.xu" of course you can join! I haven’t done many PTs, either. @"Mo Zubair" would you both want to do PT 72?
-
@AshleighK do you have a PT range that would work best for you?
-
@39845892535 thanks! And @AshleighK I’m open to different times and PTs. I made a discussion post about it, so you can always leave a comment with a time you’re available. And congrats on the -4!
-
Btw, I'm getting a BR Skype call going on Sunday if you're available! We could always look for a PT with a comparative passage to go over.
-
@AshleighK I also need some more comparative practice! It just sucks that you have to randomly go through the PTs to find them. And I'm totally skipping PTs in the 40s and 50s-- just using 50s to drill.
-
@ATLsat_2019 I can't believe they're already in testing stages!
-
@"Mo Zubair" Hi! Ok, so we will avoid 70 and 71. I have done 60 and 65, so I'd like to avoid those, too. Let's see if anyone else wants to join us, and we will figure it out. Hopefully, for every weakness we have, someone else has it as a strength.
-
If it were me, I would be concerned about not getting in enough PTs in the 70s and 80s. I'm going to start taking them, leaving a few untouched in case I retake in November. But as long as you can get in a few PTs from the 70s and 80s, you'll be fin…
-
Do you mean the level 1 and 2 questions vs the 4 and 5, or do you mean when it says "low priority" next to your practice test answers?
-
Hey! How have you been doing?
-
I need to mark up RC and LR. Idk how I would be able to perform as well if I couldn't use a pencil on an RC passage!
-
You're welcome! It sounds like you're on the right track!
