I would first use all your older 35-50 PTs first, then do all the fresh ones in the chronological order, saving the newest ones toward the end. The LSAT is great in that the underlying logic has remained the same from the 1990s, so older PTs are sti…

@"Angry Cats" said: This time around I quit my job completely, and decided to focus on my studies completely even though my budget will be tight. I feel like this is my last year to do so. I know a lot of people on here can do their jobs…

@"Seeking Perfection" said: Do you feel like during PTs you were normally good at predicting your scores? If you were it could make sense to cancel if you know you did worse. I was never great at it. On my first actual LSAT I didn't finis…

Lol, you know this speaks to the strength and quality of the community when someone apologizes for not posting as much as they usually do for a week. @LSATcantwin Based on your posts before, about the size of the potential difference this might mak…

@mepstlsat said: @J.Y. Ping. But D says in "Ancient Greece" and the stimulus says in an ancient Greek play. Does the fact that the play is Greek mean that its being performed in Greece? What if its an Ancient Greece play that is being performe…

Damn bro, huge congratulations!!! Remember us when you're in the SCOTUS.

You should consider the alternative. I do think that a single score of 168 might look better than the same score on the 4th try, but C-160-162-168 would definitely look better than C-160-162.

When I withdrew from September I never got one.

Absolutely no reason to feel ashamed or discouraged. In the last three years of college where I actually cared about school and tried, I was able to maintain a steady 3.95+ GPA in a double major stem degree (sorry if this qualifies as a humblebrag)…

Blind review - A LOT of it. Obviously there are people who have gotten there much faster, but for me it took about 55 PTs until my LF comfortably settled at -0/-1. You could always go through the CC again for LR, if you think you may have some fund…

@gititenenbaum said: can anybody comment on using highlighter during actual LSAT did it bleed through or is that just hog wash? I used highlighter on my first take last year, and it didn't bleed through. Unfortunately I didn't find it useful…

In December, my preferred testing center was kinda far from my house so I got a hotel to stay there. I love watching Friends to the point where I binge on the entire show, about once in 3 years. So in trying to take my mind of the test and relax, I …

I'm applying next Fall, so mine's still a (reallly)rough draft, but the topic is fairly serious: related to some political and legal issues in my country of birth. I settled on my topic because: it is something that relates well to my overall applic…

Are you able to maybe study in the morning before work? That worked pretty well for me, though I am lucky in that I don't have to leave for work till 9, so I could put in solid 3.5-4 hours each morning.

Not a movie, but the Friday before my test, I binged-watched the fifth season of Friends. Nothing to do with the test, but definitely helped me take the mind off

I'm done with the LSAT, but just wanted to wish good luck to all you work-LSAT people. For me it was the sleep, lack of it. Work, commute, and LSAT pushed me to about 4.5-5 hours of sleep a day. It got rough there for a while... But that score was d…

@ralphrab said: Thanks for your response. Fair point about the word "people's". However, suppose 75% of the people of neighborhood "A" are making 50k and 25% of the populace is making 60k. If those same 75% increase to 80k and the 25% group in…

I definitely think that the Multiverse passage from PT 83 is my favorite. I loved the subject matter and the writing style. I definitely consider myself lucky for seeing it on the actual test date.
-
Tbh I wouldn't even call 170 ---> 168 a true drop. LSAT has a standard error of measurement of approximately 2.7 points, so 168 and 170 are within one error band. For better or worse, the majority of your prep has already happened and there is n…

@ralphrab said: I do not understand why E is correct. Although no other answer seems right in this question, E also seems to have a problem because the answer choice never said the increase was an absolute increase for every person in the neig…

By this point you are probably the one most familiar with how much rest you might need. I wouldn't take that PT just to boost your confidence, but there might other good reasons to do it. For me, I knew 1 full day of doing nothing would be enough …

@BillLsat said: @pioneer321 Yeah, having to read 8 whole passages in one sitting is definitely unlucky. Can the luck gods heareth mine own caterwauling??? I had two of my LR sections in a row in each of my takes, which I wasn't a fan of…
-
Although my two takes were also similar in that I had 3 LRs each time, I'm positive that this was by random chance! I mean, the forms are just stacked inside the box the LSAC sends them, and are then passed out in the order of seating. So yeah, the …

I've gone through ~75 PTs in my prep, and voted for Barely Noticeably here. I believe that RC has definitely changed over the 80-something tests, but I don't think it has necessarily become much harder. To me, there has been some focus change in qu…

Relax! That's surprisingly important. Now, just how easy should you take it during this last week, is kinda personal. Some people recommend the entire week being very light, others only a few days. For example, I knew that for me taking 1 day off wa…

@danjamesdanjames said: Unless you have a lot of extra time at the end this is probably the best understanding you'll have of the question. I disagree with this slightly. In most cases you are correct, but sometimes a question may stump you …

@"Seeking Perfection" said: I people watched. The testing site really is a great location to people watch and eavesdrop. Lol I so agree. Watching/ listening to people's conversations around the testing center has to be the most entertaining …

Idk if an anecdotal input is helpful, but fwiw a couple weeks before my December take, I had two PTs in a row where I got 5 less than my average at the time, for no good reason too. I ended up beating my average on the real thing. Try to engage int…
