Agreed with other posters, skipping comparative, when it could have 7-8 questions is ill advised. If employing this strategy, choose the passage with the fewest questions. Risking not answering 5 questions is one thing, sacrificing more it’s another…
-
A couple of possible reasons: 1) LSAC is leaning into more difficult RC all around moving forward; 2) these newest tests have more subtle language, so depending on which PTs you take, there may be an element of unfamiliarity (only PT 85+ Are like th…

Agreed with @crystal0712 , with one caveat: I would skip whichever passage has the fewest questions (or one you are having particular trouble with, like a topic you know you struggle with). But yes, increasing your understanding and therefor accurac…

I would, at the very least, take the weekend off, see how you feel next week. Giving your brain a break might be just what you need to reset before attempting October. Over-studying at this point will likely be counterproductive and can lead to burn…

Are you able to do better than -10 untimed? I would say that if that is your timed and untimed score, I'd review CC or drill untimed sections until it starts to click (sometimes it just takes exposure to a ton of questions, I know it did for me). …

Updating spreadsheet of new medians: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Oxg1daKToiMystD7rGrbpnHNO-JXdc2ugQMrR0YR7aQ/htmlview#gid=0 Agreed with @HopefullyHLS , if you think you can do better, retake! This year is competitive, have your best a…

It's being offered Friday, Saturday and Sunday... I believe the 12-14? I think they changed the date once, so I might be off a week. They will have times for accommodations and make-ups during the week as well. The Power Score Crystal Ball discussed…

Just make a problem set of the first few questions on an old test. You shouldn't check your answers, just answer a few to get the mental juices flowing.
-
Do you do a warm-up before taking your PTs? It could be that you just need to get a few questions under your belt before you take the section. The warm up could be as few as 2-5 questions just to get you in the mindset.

I attended a panel of 6 Admissions officers from law schools all over the country, they all resoundingly agreed that LOR review should be waived. It was one of very few items on which there was a clear consensus. Also, @"AngR.567", excellent points …

You are correct @Independent1821 , you can only preview and cancel a first test.

OMG!! I just watched Legally Blonde and said the same thing! I was like "I know that question, it's a beast!" lol

Happy to help!

I totally forgot you can sign up early if you already have a PU account. Thank you, @SheboyganBoi , you rock!

@aszane21 Agreed with Andrew, I would absolutely include your summer work for your family business, it will read well to AdComms. But yes, you only need to address gaps in your post-college work history longer than 3-ish months as a general rule.
-
@EbethStudent16 I would include an addendum as you will want to address the gap in your resume (anything longer than 3 months being the general consensus on what constitutes a gap). I would be very brief and just say that you had a pending start dat…
-
I would write it out. Practice untimed questions and stick with them till you figure them out (think BR style). Once you start to see what you're looking for, it'll get easier to do under normal, timed conditions without having to write it out. You …

@Jiujitsujunkie after last cycle, there is reason to believe that schools may hold off longer than usual on their decisions until they have a better idea of the applicant pool so they don't paint themselves into a corner like last cycle. Here's more…
-
@Jiujitsujunkie , You can inform them of the updated score in consideration for scholarship, but I am unsure if they are able to reconsider your acceptance/rejection if your file has already been reviewed and decided. Sounds like you may want to hol…
-
Hi @teddyballgame15 , there isn't a way to do that here, unfortunately. But you can set up your PTs in "standard" format on 7Sage, which has the same font and settings as Law Hub. For some reason it is not letting me share a screen shot. @studentser…

Having a pending LSAT date will automatically flag your application to be held. If you have an LSAT score that you are applying with, yes you can submit, but you should also email Admissions to tell them that you'd like your file reviewed as is so t…

I know it sounds terrifying, but slowing down is probably the best thing you can do to improve RC. So many people rush through it, then they miss the "low hanging fruit" on the easier passages which rattles your confidence for the tougher ones. I li…

It looks like a 150 is well below the 25th at Denver (157), but depending on your GPA, you may still be able to get in. They have listed their 2021 stats, and it looks like they made a decent jump from last year, making it a bit more competitive for…

I wrote out summary sentences for a while and phased it out as I got better about summarizing each paragraph of the passage in my head. I do still annotate via highlighting, which I find helps keep me engaged and focused on key facts/terms, etc. I…
-
That really depends: can you afford to pay for school? Given the uptick in all the medians after last cycle (this is not reflected in the prediction tool, as the new medians are not all in yet), you might be able to get in, but if you are below the …
-
Agreed with @EliasLsat , the best predicter of your score on test day is your average PT score, perhaps a few points below. Believe me when I tell you that I understand what you are going through. I got a 155 last year, and in retrospect, I shouldn'…
-
Hi Alexa, 1. I would write a brief addendum, yes, unless you addressed this time away from work in your personal statement. Having a few month off work to focus on your LSAT is a good thing, and should be looked upon favorably as it shows you are w…
-
I would say that you should prepare as best you can now, sign up for and plan to take November, but only take it if you are PTing around where you need to be score-wise, otherwise be prepared to withdraw and wait till next cycle. I was in a similar…
-
You are absolutely allowed to leave the room, but BE SURE you are back in front of your computer before the 10 minutes is up or your test will be cancelled. It was only during the FLEX that you couldn't leave the room (this was the reason it was onl…

I JUST did a problem set with two games that had if but only if: PT45.G4, PT56.G1
