From the LSAC site: All graduate and professional school students are considered financially independent of their parents for the purposes of determining federal aid eligibility. This means that for the purpose of applying for federal aid (includin…

@kkole444 I believe this will be Pika's 5th test in Feb, so it's an either/or now that LSAC has reinstated test limits
-
This is awesome. Thank you!
-
I usually go through 2-3, using both sides... If I could trade a sheet for 5 extra minutes, I would!
-
@kkole444 , yes! Burnout is such a real thing and we (typical) future law students tend to be particularly bad at taking breaks and being patient with ourselves. I will see drops of 10+ points if I'm burning out, typically my best score will be the…

You may see a huge benefit from taking a little break(even just a day or two). It always seems counter-intuitive, but giving your brain a chance to focus on something else is incredible important. Generally, a single test is just that, a snap shot, …

I recommend giving this strategy a go if you are trying to capture RC points: https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/26560/my-guide-to-reading-comprehension-part-1-long-ish-post Sounds like you may have just had test day nerves? You've …

I assumed they meant blank... I would VASTLY prefer to have my dot graph paper!
-
Yes, it's one minute between sections (I took October and November). Agreed, take the time
-
This is a tough predicament. Statistically speaking, you are not likely to get a score better than your PTs on test day... but it could happen. I don't believe there is anything you can do to significantly boost your score in one week, but if you ar…
-
Yup, head to the Resources tab, select Problem Sets, then you can filter by test number, section, question/game/topic type, difficulty rating, then + the ones you want and hit "create problem set." To find again (if you want to come back for blind r…

I use @"Quick Silver" Jimmy D, he's awesome! I have also worked with @Christopherr in his free online tutoring sessions, which have been very helpful, and his tutor @Sami is also supposed to be very good though I have not worked with her. I don't th…
-
I have a couple of study partners, we choose an LR/RC/LG section to do, then we facetime/zoom a blind review together. An entire PT would take ages to go over, but sections are doable in about an hour. I highly recommend. Having to explain why you c…

My tutor has a podcast, on it he has best practices for the week before the exam. Here it is if you want to take a listen (it's only 30 minutes). https://soundcloud.com/lsathabits/episode-5-the-week-before-the-exam But yeah, basically trust that yo…
-
Those are tricky, but if you rephrase them, they become “the only,” which indicates sufficient. ie “the only guys Sarah dates are funny.” What they are saying is that all the guys Sarah dates are funny, not that Sarah dates all guys who are funny (s…
-
43 here, so yeah, you'll seem like just one of the kids to me! lol But yes, to echo what others have said, you could apply if you don't need scholarship money... or you could wait and set yourself up nicely with lots of time to get your applicatio…
-
Agreed, they go from relative consistency in difficulty in the older (pre 60s) tests, then ramp up in newer tests such that there will be an easy passage or two and the others are much more challenging. Also, all the more current tests have a compar…
-
With EXCEPT questions, you are being asked to eliminate the 4 ACs that would, say, weaken the argument. If you can repeat the process you are already doing for RRE, just tweak it such that you are now eliminating those weakening ACs, you will start …

@katertot92 FYI
-
Over studying can do more harm than good. It sounds like you may be approaching burnout. If your scores are decreasing, you are likely taking too many PTs, and with so little time, I'd focus on skipping strategy and calming nerves. Good luck!
-
Also waiting for an announcement on this. Last year it took LSAC a while to commit test dates to Flex, they were kinda one-offs. Hopefully they will just keep Flex through summer at least, I can't imagine trying to coordinate in-person exams before …

Here's a link to the 7Sage approved tutors list, I was just looking myself! https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/4760/7sages-approved-tutors/p1
-
Addendum, definitely. You can't fall upon a 172 by accident, and AdComms know that. Congrats on such a great score, get those apps in! I had a similar experience with ProctorU and know how much that can tank your score, just explain the circumstance…
-
Thank you! Loved this. I have come to many of the same strategic solutions, getting ready to restart studying to test in June and apply next cycle (October was a bomb due to proctorU issues, November due to over-stress and burnout after panicking ab…
-
It just takes time. Agreed with @lilpingling if you’re BRing that high, you know your stuff. You just need to keep doing what you’re doing. Repetition is key, and I promise the timing will come. You can always try setting your timer for an extra 5 …
-
@"melanie.stewart84" I’m on your app timeline and 43! @mia12345 everything has its time (cliche but true). Be patient with your self, take the time you need to explore, write a killer personal statement, get some real world experience, study at a p…
-
@cpeaks13 yes, as long as it's your first test, you can pay $75 to cancel within (I believe) one week of results. Score preview before the test is just less expensive, but still available to first timers.
-
Short answer: yes, following directions is hugely important. If you are really stuck and don't feel you can shorten your essays without losing the essence of your writing, ask someone in the admissions office at NE, that way you can get the answer s…
-
If you are aiming at schools with a median above 166, you mostly need to consider scholarship dollars. If that's not important to you, then you might as well go for it... if it is important, don't leave money of the table if you know you have more l…

@"justine.jordahl" I hope your test went well, I wrote mine yesterday as well, good to be done! When I wrote the October test I was interrupted twice and lost 3 minutes from my test. Just an FYI in case you are taking again, they do not always stop …
