  • I'm in a similar boat. I've been teetering the low to mid 160's over the past few weeks. Some of the things I've noticed for myself, not sure if they will apply to you but it might give you some ideas..the newer tests have been harder for me. Maybe …
  • Definitely congratulations are in order. I hope to be in the same situation in a few months.
  • I've been using newer tests thats I've taken to drill. I saw my scores dip a little with the newer tests so I've been going through the LR and RC sections again. I won't have time to finish all the 50's before June so I'm using those for drilling as…
  • @blah170blah I might be the only one that thinks this but for me the passage arguments are a bit more hidden if they even exist. I don't think all the passages are harder just some. You also have to get used to the comparative passages but that's no…
  • @7sagelsatstudent180 probably an anomaly. I did those two tests and scored similar, a little higher on 65. I'm finding the Reading Comp on these newer tests are a lot harder so I've been hitting low 160's. I say you need a bigger sample size before …
  • @nicole.hopkins I like to think of myself as a wannabe programmer but full time I'm in the military (privates meant to reference my soldiers although I probably get more arrogance from having to argue with officers), getting out in August thus Law S…
  • @tom.kinan.311 You're right, I apologize, I was out of line with that troll comment but I stand by the rest of what I was saying. It's obvious you need to rethink your plan..it's plain to see it's not working. I'm pretty sarcastic by nature and I a…
  • If I were him I'd want you to get in a good school so that you potentially become a better lawyer when you work for me..
  • I didn't know about 7Sage when I got the Trainer so I just went through the Trainer then I found 7Sage and went through 7Sage. To be honest, I would do it the same way if I had to do it again. The Trainer for me was a good (very good) introduction a…
  • I agree with everyone else except if by family you mean your spouse and kids and you have to support them, than I definitely don't support ignoring them. Nor do I support ignoring your parents if they support you. Law school is nice and all but if y…
  • For LR, I check Manhattan's LR forum that has explanations on all the LR questions. Of course if you have the Ultimate Course here I think you can watch the review videos here. That way I know what I'm getting wrong and why. For RC, if you're still …
  • I'm not in a completely similar boat but I do have those occasional 157-158 scores. Usually, it's because I try to stick to a schedule and PT at a time I shouldn't, after a full days work. At that point I'm tired and my mind is just trying to get th…
  • I'm not the best to comment on this but that's sure a lot more time than I've put in and will be putting in (I'm taking the June LSAT to try to get in this fall and started studying in March) but I think if you really grasped the fundamentals by now…
  • Luckily, I should be able to finish Law School with under 20k debt so I should be happy at any job. If I were to have the 100k+ like most graduates I'd definitely look into public service for 10 years to get it re-payed. But then again, some people …
  • I wish I had thought of going to law school while on deployment, that would have been an awesome time killer. Anyway, My view on this whole LSAT law school thing is ask yourself what you want at the end of the day. In another post someone who was st…
  • I like to think of "many" without the m or "any" which just means 1 or more which is what "some" means. Heh, not very useful but I get a kick out of it sometimes and you need all the self entertainment you can get with the LSAT.
  • This doesn't sound right.. 2.6 GPA, Quit $65k/year job, took a Blueprint course, studied full time for a great length of time, hired a private tutor, can't PT above 153, wants to get into a T20 school This has to be a troll.. But if it's not, to …
  • Honestly, if I could do it over I would probably not pick up the Manhattan LR nor the Manhattan RC, it helps some people but for me I didn't gain anything useful. I think after a point you become stagnant and try to give yourself a boost thus I boug…
  • My personal strategy when I was beginning was to time myself but not force the issue. For example I'll do all 10 questions but it ends up taking me 20 minutes. I'll have worked on my accuracy but also benchmarked where I am. As I continue to drill I…
  • I'm talking about the Misc Category from 7Sage for example PT 40 S1 Q10, Q15. I see now that I can just figure out the type myself. Like Q10 is something like an Identify the Disagreement type.
  • 3.5-3.6 I think, not the best but half of my undergrad I was deployed so its semi explainable. The school I'm trying to get into puts a lot of weight into other factors besides GPA and LSAT score and everyone that I know that got at highest had a 16…
  • If LG is your worse you have a pretty good chance. It's not that hard to fix those just start taking times games sections over and over. I think you should consider postponing If possible but if not I don't think a 160 is too out of reach if you put…
  • @ddakjiking I agree 7sage seems much more accepting. Sometimes it seems that all the high scorers just naturally were good at the LSAT since everyone that posts their scores have 160+ dishes and all high 160-170 scores. @AlexanderL0 awesome stuff I'…
  • I'm for the LSAT Trainer and Cambridge packets. And of course all of the actual PTs now that you can't download them. I have the Manhattan books as well and although I think they'd help some people they didn't really add much for me. I guess if you'…
  • You're right I've seen a lot more stories here than TLS. Its been an inspiration seeing everyone aiming for such a high score. I really wish I had the time to get to that but my situation isn't the normal one. Thanks for the study buddies tip I have…
  • I'm not really sure where I'm at my last three were 157, 165, 166 although I think that 157 was just due to my fatigue after a long day at work. I'm slowly getting a better raw score hitting 86 on that 166. Starting to get a breakthrough on my Readi…
  • Agreed that different strategies work for different people. I was averaging -8/-9 until recently where I now usually at worst get -3. I attribute my jump to scribbling on the page as I read. To be honest I underline and take notes as I read but I do…
  • I don't like to waste paper either so I just use scratch paper to do my answers and work. I also don't take more than a few times to really have a handle on a game. "Congratulations" on getting out of the Army, ETS or retirement? I ETS in August.
  • Yes, I'm experiencing the same. Not too big a deal for me right now but its definitely something that should be fixed.
  • I vote for October, I wish I could postpone because I actually think a 170+ for me could happen if I wait until then. My plan is to be in school this coming fall so I have no choice to take the June test but if you have the choice I'd take it when y…
