Yes, PT 88 definitely threw in multiple tough games. I've been taken aback by LG starting at the 60s-70s transition. I thought they were pretty easy in the 60s compared to more recent tests.

Yeah, just pick one to argue is better. You can acknowledge the other argument and its pros, but then prove it wrong by trumping it with your chosen argument.

@ehlemmerman said: Do they care what kind of paper you have? Like, does it have to be a certain size, etc? I believe they state it should be regular printer paper? But I have seen people say you can try and use lined and show it to your proc…

Hi Julia! Not sure if my take on this subject is actually correct, but I usually approach the questions worded in these two ways with a basically identical manner. I think you're right in the observation that main point may be more general since ma…

5 I believe in terms of sheets of paper! I think you should pretty much clear your desk just to be safe besides necessary testing materials like the paper and pencil/pen. Obviously I think it's fine if you have other things on the desk but no electr…

Do you notice that you're spending a significant amount of time when looking at the questions going back into the passage to find the answer? That used to be a time sink for me and now that I'm spending more time upfront on the passage I can tread m…

Yes, definitely go make yourself familiar and comfortable with LawHub interface. They do have highlighting and underlining tools as well as flagging for questions you want to come back to etc.

@Benx4HT_ said: Yeah! My diagnostic was a 141, I'm now testing at around 159 with blind reviews at 165-167. I have been studying for the past few months and have dedicated an hour or two a day to studying (though it often ends up running past …

You can totally defy your diagnostic score! Mine was 149, and I have made improvement to the mid 160s. Good luck!

Tuesday for meeee
-
Also, I took mine last night at 6 pm EST and it was already processed by this morning! I still recommend getting it done as soon as possible

Hi! I actually took the writing sample yesterday and it is my first time testing as well. It was really easy and simple so don't worry!! LSAC runs you through the necessary steps and you have 35 minutes to complete it. There is a trial available to …

@jaclynmiller wondering the same. I did LSAT Writing last night and that software made my fan go crazy. I don't get what it is that causes this on so many applications.

@Hannahbalas18 said: thanks for your answers! I just wanted to clarify I am aware of the amount of times you can test etc... what I am asking is how many times should you test. From what I have heard it either doesnt matter because admissions …

@"brennac.ics" said: I did this for a long time! Then of course I also found out I can’t speak on test day (honestly doesn’t make sense to me especially with the online format). But one thing that has kind of replaced that for me is going over…

I honestly don't know a ton about the subject. But, I know LSAC does denote a certain amount of times you are literally allowed to test- broken up by like how many times a year, how many consecutive years, and something else similar. I know that you…

@tonyahardzinski same for me, I tested horribly when first switching to lawhub!! In addition, @will23, it seems the newer PT's are often tougher RC passages. If this applies to you that might be why.
-
Since it isn't allowed on the actual test, I personally wouldn't practice that way and get used to it. You could try using paper to assist with breaking down the context of the questions in your head? This is a time sink on the actual exam but still…
-
Thank you guys! Very helpful information.

@tahurrrrr said: Memorize the list of common flaws. Then as you read the stimulus, try to anticipate the flaw it's about to make. See a correlation? There's a good chance there will be a causation flaw. See a percentage? Your mind should be on…

3 practice tests a day is no joke. Congrats on the progress! Proof that hard work pays off. You'll be a great lawyer, no doubt!
-
As others have mentioned, they must be opening it up throughout the day. Mine wasn't available at 3 pm today but is now. A ton of slots left by the way so don't worry if you haven't picked. I'm also a first time test-taker.

Following. I sometimes will have a similar issue. Trying to drill certain types but not sure this is the most efficient. Looking forward to what people think.
-
TRUST ME. I literally had the exact same thing happen to me. Got stupid -10 on LR it is so irritating especially in retrospect. And getting any within the first 10 wrong- omg makes me FUMING. Trust me, I feel you on this one. I'm going to do an extr…

I know it can be hard, but I really try to not spend any time on taking notes. More times than not, I find it isn't very beneficial. Try to think of what you're reading as interesting- trust me I know this is so hard. I'm testing in June and also ha…

Hi, I think this is a difficult question to answer fully, but certainly I'll give my opinion. Are you looking to apply this upcoming cycle? If so, I think it would be a great option to take the August test. Two months is truly a decent chunk of tim…
-
Hi! So, I was experiencing a similar issue a month back or so. As you mentioned, untimed tests really helped me. I saw a post about a certain technique where you read the passage and then write out a low resolution summary, summary of P1, P2, P3, et…

@GULCampGWHope same for me, exactly! I really hope it works for you. Good luck!
