On a related topic. Be cognizant of the way question 1 is ordered. I've had it where I arrange my board from highest to lowest for example, and then the first question is the standard, "which of these is possible" but ordered from lowest to highest.…

I'm doing a LR section and a games sections tonight, an RC and games section tomorrow, and then taking Thursday and Friday completely off. Maybe some application work.

Plan some sort of warm up for the morning of the test. I do two easy games, 10 LR questions and an easy RC passage. Key is to do easy questions that kickstart your brain, but also keep confidence high and don't tire you out.

I'm definitely in the flip-flopper camp, environmental, contract, and IP all have caught my interest. Lately though, I've been thinking a lot about trying to do something in the public policy sphere. But what specifically would be hard to say. Proba…

I'm doing my a top 10 list of my favorite Justin never songs, but it's been hard to leave any off.

I just rewrote my PS, desperately need some outside input. Happy to swap with someone, PM me!

What I do, and what it seems like many others do as well, is a light warm up before leaving home. Like 1 or 2 games, 10ish LR and 1 RC passage. Use all questions that youve seen before and are on the easier end of the spectrum. The goal is to get yo…

Yeah, too late. Already filled it out... But I should be ready to apply by Dec 15, so it's just extra motivation! Haha

If t14 is your goal, you are definitely going to want to postpone. Applying late in this cycle you probably need a 165 minimum. Also, high BR means you understand the concepts quite well, it's probably timing that you struggle with. Unfortunately …

@TheMikey Sweet! I'm glad I noticed, I was about to send out a mass email requesting consideration for waivers that by an large I'd already been granted! ?

@"Seeking Perfection" Ok, I'll take your explicit advice. I'll visit a flu ward every day the week of my test so i can achieve greatness! Related question, is being ill sufficient for beating my PT score, or merely necessary? Should i even bother s…

Biggest thing for timing is recognizing inferences upfront and being able to immediately recognize the game type and set it up quickly. This comes from practice. You really can't spend too much time drilling games. Every repetition makes you a littl…

As far as applying, i don't think there is much difference between dec 26 and Jan 11
-
Yeah, you definitely should bank on getting your score before January 3 or 4. Pre-Christmas would be shocking.

What I've been doing is taking a test at my schools library every saturday at 8:30 and replicating conditions EXACTLY. I'm talking Ziploc bag, no phone, 6 sections including writing. It's the only thing I can think of to close the gap between PT an…
-
Dude, I'm experiencing something very similar! I've scaled back to roughly 2 hours of studying 3 days a week, plus a 5 section PT on Saturday. And I've beaten my September score on every one. I cut back to work on applications on off days, and it s…
-
Yes! They said if you're application was good enough with a 165 they would admit you straightaway, if not they would wait until receiving your December score. I'm in the same boat as you, sending in my michigan app hopefully tomorrow! Excited, ter…

I posted a conversation in had with a admissions rep from michigan just a few days ago about this topic. The gist is that yes, they will evaluate you as is, but if you score higher, they will reevaluate your application at that point. I assume most …

Another thing to consider is that no matter how meticulously you replicate test condition, at the end of the day, it's a PT, and you know it. General consensus is that real scores are about 2-3 points below your PT average due to nerves, conditions,…

I definitely agree, postpone until June. June is great because A) you can study for an extra 6 months. you still have the option to postpone or retake is September and stay ahead of the pack for apps. My advice would be try to set a schedule that …

A big factor to consider is financial aid, by the time your score is released most aid will be gone. So while schools may accept you just as easily as they would've in october, you're probably going to pay more. That said if you crush it, they'll st…
