So this may be an ignorant and is definitely not a scientifically researched answer but universities and law schools are generally considered more liberal 'spaces' so you may not run into an issue. I do feel like you should be honest about why you d…

Wait they give out Fee waivers to these things! I'm goin…

Does anyone have a better way of foolproofing all games from PT 1-35..? A way that saves some paper? With two pages per game, that's about 20 pages for just one game.
I'm terrible at games but I'm contributing to the massacre of…

I think what may be happening here is a little bit of non-traditional applicant bias. I agree with the commenters saying there is no reason to fear bringing your mom. This is not an interview. It's an open forum. Lots of over-…

I don't think you should. If they want to come along on a personal tour and meet up later then sure but I think it's a bit odd to bring a parent or anyone else with you to the 'official' functions.

Hi! Just wondering, don't the problem sets in the CC and the PT 1-35 bundle repeat themselves? I think all those practice problem sets are from PT 1-35 ( maybe @"Alex Divine" has some insight into t…
Not to beat a dead horse but LG is my worst section too and 7Sage has made me feel like it's beginning to be my favorite. I'm not sure which score your aiming for but if you're not close to it like everyone said I'd really encourage you to start 7Sa…

Fool proof as soon as you are able to. This is an awesome way to start your post-CC studying as well. Also, I think a day or two of CC review would be time well spent. I cannot even explain how helpful it would have been …

@akistotle @"Alex Divine" ok another question for you - when fool proofing do you have to fool proof the questions as well? I fool proofed the game board (took me an hour and half - KILL ME) and then went on to the questions. I got all but one corre…
Like @"Seeking Perfection" said I think JY describes fool proofing as doing games individually. I just started fool proofing in the LG section of the CC and I am taking it one game at at time. And yes it is time consuming as a mother but like JY sa…

@"Alex Divine" it's just some of the things people say.

I was wondering the same. What is off-the-wall?
This is great! Thanks for checking in! Chicago is one of my goal schools ... feel free to share any insights pits/peaks about your experiences there. Would love to hear more!
Thanks for the encouragement
OH.MY.GOSH -- preaching to the choir sir.
This was me not too long ago. My studies came to a screeching halt once I got to the Valid/Invalid sections I thought I was a complete idiot for not getting it. I spent three weeks ...THREE WEEKS alone on o…
@CurlyQQQ said:
@tringo335 That sounds like a plan. I think I'll time myself but not rush to beat the clock. It puts too much pressure on me and then I lose focus.
I totally feel you; the pressure is almost unbearable when being timed lol…
The Economist! The New Yorker is good as well but like @TheMikey said The Economist articles are very very similar to RC passages. And yes the topics are really interesting.
I do not time myself during the CC. I use that time to truly learn the fundamentals. I may take note of about how long a section took just because I'm curious but if it takes me longer than it should I don't stress over it or try to beat the clock n…
@akistotle @"Alex Divine" great advice... I was thinking about starting fool proofing now but wasn't sure ... I"ll get to work to stay ahead of the game! Thanks guys!
