  • I would recommend a warm-up that gets you ready and pumped to take the test. Ready, as in switching your brain on to critical reading/thinking mode, and pumped, as in feeling great about your abilities. For me, that meant doing a favorite LG sectio…
  • The Trainer Twitter account said there's no need to replace your old editions: https://mobile.twitter.com/TheLSATTrainer/status/589214575188316160
  • I found it really helpful to read the LR explanations on lsathacks.com
  • My proctor said we couldn't bubble in answers for a previous section. To be safe, I would bubble in guesses right before time is called. LSAC website: Blackening of answer spaces on your answer sheet must be done before time is called for any give…
  • There is no pause between sections. As soon as one ends, the proctor reads the instructions for the next one and starts the clock again.
  • I used a regular Casio watch that I bought off Amazon. I reset it to 12:00 at the beginning of each section and the break.
  • Hey I like what you did with your username! Haha. For RC, I started with the Trainer. I absolutely recommend it if RC isn't clicking yet. It was the toughest section for me, so I supplemented it with 7Sage (really liked Story of Science, never used…
  • I did only 5-section tests as well. Those were the only scores I considered part of my PT average, bc they were an exact reflection of test day. One thing I practiced for was getting my worst section (RC) back to back, right when my brain started t…
  • @ENTJ haha (not) unfortunately I'm a girl. And the search continues...
  • @nye8870 No there isn't! Haha and that was why it was so bad for me to waste time thinking about it. There are a few different "test forms" given out on a given test day. The test forms have different experimental sections and in different orders. F…
  • On my first pass through an LR section, I only diagrammed when the question looked very useful to diagram... That's something you'll get a feel for. I wouldn't have diagrammed the particular question you highlighted because it only asks for the role…
  • I'll echo @alexandergreene93 about taking care not to hype up test day too much. You have taken standardized tests, and you have taken a timed LSAT in a public setting, so you do know what the real thing is like. And I think people underestimate t…
  • INFJ, last time I checked. @nicole.hopkins I'm pretty pleased to be the same type as Daenerys Targaryen; thank you for making my day.
  • Welcome! If this were a text, I would send the one-humped and two-humped camel emojis. PTing around 170 usually involves (1) finishing most sections with at least a few minutes left and (2) flying through most questions with near certainty that you…
  • Lol this is kinda mean. Part of me wanted to be happy for this person too.
  • I think delaying makes sense for some people, and refusing to delay makes sense for other people. Only you know what makes sense for your life.
  • @ENTJ lol that reminds me of this suggestion from Blueprint: "A raw egg. Just imagine the looks on your fellow LSAT test-takers’ faces as you crack one against the water fountain and slurp it down. Plus, it’s rich in protein."
  • Your PT consistency is great! Just goes to show that all questions in all sections are worth the same, and when one section is a little bumpy, all is not lost. Studying for this crazy test comes with a lot of ups and downs, but they're all part of t…
  • On test day I had a ziplock bag with almonds, M&Ms, and cough drops bc I had a cold haha. Also nibbled on a Clif bar and sipped Vitamin Water to get an energy boost.
  • @leonsmoney said: I've concluded that on test day: If logic games go smoothly ----> my test will go smoothly. I know you didn't ask for my advice, so take this or leave it... but don't get too hung up on LG determining the whole experience. Th…
  • I'm not sure! I hope to have a better idea by the time I'm done! In my fantasy, I am in-house counsel at a fun and socially responsible company that gives me great benefits and a flexible schedule. On the side, I represent children and single paren…
  • @Pacifico said: Honestly you're better off buying all the 1-35 LGs and then just using the free videos here on 7Sage to master LG. Very excellent point. I used the Powerscore Bible at first and some of their notations are like "wtf this is a big w…
  • I didn't find the Superprep book particularly helpful. I think 7Sage and other solid prep sources (I recommend lsathacks.com) have just as good an understanding of LSAC's logic as LSAC does, but a better way of explaining it. For drilling I would ec…
  • Question 8: I see what you're saying about C seeming overreaching, but this is only a MSS question. The answer doesn't have to be airtight. C concludes something about all of the world's cultures based on an analysis of extremely different and separ…
  • I also had (but tried to get past) that "must get my money's worth" mentality. You'll get your money's worth when you get your great LSAT score. Whatever you need to do to get that, do it. If you're too rigid in how you use your resources, it might …
  • @nicole.hopkins @Pacifico lol good guesses. It's about my cat, though I like the dyslexia story. And thank you, I will make sure to keep my application consistent. @alexandergreene93 Thanks, I agree that I should write something unique to me, but I…
  • Thanks for your responses haha... I feel you on the money and I look forward to joining you in the world of big law. My lament is that it doesn't go along with what I was planning to put in my personal statement.
  • The morning of the June test, I stood in front of my laptop and danced/lip synced to Pretty Girl Rock, Love on Top, and Super Bass. I then turned on Chopin, closed my eyes, and visualized a perfect testing experience while chanting various motivatio…
  • Yep, I found that googling key words from the question would bring up a Manhattan forum where someone had already sought an explanation.
