I think that it could be either: you could effectively write about anything that you think could help convince Penn to admit you. That could be more about why you'd add something unique to their school, about why you think Penn is the right fit for …

I don't think you need to go through the entire CC to start doing full prep tests, but you'll want to have gone through most of it. Here's my recommendation for how much of the CC for each section you should complete before doing full PTs: LR - It…

When you're getting started, it's best not to worry about the timing and just work on perfecting your thinking process and reasoning skills. Once you've got the basics down, then you can start working on timing when you're doing full sections.

Hey everyone, @"Lana Kane" posted this groupme link in another thread for folks studying for the June LSAT, it would make sense if everyone joined this: https://groupme.com/join_group/57415632/QdTu0vK9

Is your question about whether you need to understand contrapositives in conditional reasoning, or about whether you need to diagram them on LR questions? If it's the former, the answer is yes. If you don't understand how contrapositives work you'r…

Hey there, I am also a tutor and scored a 179, and would be glad to help--just send me a message!

No problem!! Good luck and go kill that LSAT

It's not a waste! Treat the "experimental" as being as important as any of the others. If you're about to do PTs 60-64, I'd cut up PT 60 and do one alongside 61, 62, 63 and 64, respectively. Then when you're done those, you can score PT 60 as if it …

No, there isn't a standard for having a visible clock in LSAT test centers. That being said, the tablet has a timer on it, so you don't need a watch for timing purposes.

@lexxx745 said: Agreed, ideally most effective is to just copy the LSAT formatting with time. If you cant, i guess second best is to take breaks as you need, because if you dont, your mind wont work as well under that time you arent taking a b…

@Oni_LSAT said: Taschasp, do you recommend digital form PT or paper form PT? The skill would translate but did you feel any different when PTing on either form of PT? I don't think it makes much difference, and it didn't for me! I mostly pre…

I also recommend mixing it up, but it depends on your learning style.

You can always apply, see what happens, and then apply again next year if you don't like the results you get this cycle. A lot of people do that and get into schools they were formerly rejected from. It may even increase your chances over applying j…

The best way is if you can study as if you are taking the LSAT itself. That means do 105 minutes, take a 25 minute break, then do another 70 minutes. At least have something like that every time you study, and then for the remainder of the time, you…

I believe different schools have different policies, but I distinctly recall some schools requiring the writing sample as part of the application--meaning that it has to be submitted along with everything else prior to the "deadline." But the deadli…

It's tempting. But what happens if you flip it around? Whenever most practitioners of a given discipline (the psychologists) approach a particular problem in the same way ("should the ELDERLY age group be understood in its own terms?"), that unifor…

Also just one additional note to @elijah.barrish and anyone else with a similar timeline. Don't be discouraged if you don't get your score up to 175+ by February 22nd. The jump from 170 to 175+ is bigger than it seems. From 170 to 175, you're going…

I remember being at this phase and wondering the same thing. I'll share tips from what I did and learned through my process, helping me eventually score a 179. At 170+, the extent to which traditional BR is helpful depends on the kinds of issues yo…

@ChiChi55 said: Thank you all!! I guess it really is a personal question that I’ll have to weigh the pros and cons. I am interested in big law but I am also open to exploring more options as well. Exploring career wise they both seem to have g…

@10000019 said: I'm assuming you meant to use the word "law school" instead of "higher education" because for colleges (and many other professional programs) it is beyond debate that being anything other than Caucasian or Asian is a bonus. N…

I believe it's the average score of someone who picked that answer choice. I think the curve column to the right of that is a bit more useful, though, for gauging the relative difficulty of a given question.

URM doesn't equate to minority; URM means under represented minority. In other words, you're a URM if you belong to a group that is X% of the U.S. population, but only 0.5X% (for example) of admitted law students or lawyers. For an Ecuadorian like y…

The straight answer to your question depends on the school(s) you are applying to. You need to check what the last LSAT date is that they accept. Some schools accept February as their last LSAT, some accept March, and some accept April... The less-…

A good number of schools seem to be doing this right now (delaying decisions, waiting to see what the applicant pool looks like), so it's nothing unusual. It's just been a bit of an unusual application cycle. Most schools just don't outright tell yo…

I'm sorry you had an awful test taking experience. There's nothing more frustrating than gearing up for test day, only to have a bunch of noise get in the way and distract you. As for your question, I voted No as my personal opinion, but I think y…
-
There’s no universal answer because it depends on how any given school would or wouldn’t change their application process due to receiving a new addenda. If they had already begun reviewing your app I don’t see why they would start over. But if they…
-
I agree about calling and asking. You want to focus on the fact that you want them to include your January LSAT in your application, so you’d like to be switched to regular decision, but that the school is still your top choice. If you think it wil…

Yes, that’s okay. I say it’s like learning to play a song on an instrument, you might start playing it more slowly and then gradually speed it up until you can play at the right tempo. Focus on playing (answering the questions) the right way first, …
