Self-study
Hello All,
Looking for some tips from past LSAT takers, what did you do the week before and the week of your LSAT? Just looking for some general tips.

@Farah LR. And honestly. Just a lot of practice, I’m one of those people who thinks quantity plays a role in your score… contrary to popular belief. Just consistency and figuring out those argument structures
This was just a section but incredibly motivating to see

@JollyComposedPie I honestly never know how to answer this question besides the obvious… slow down and be consistent… I suck at giving advice because I seldom take it myself
Very happy with this. Any tips to not second-guess myself? I think this is the biggest issue I have. I literally only need a 160, and I'd be happy

100% between the LSAT and GPA, the LSAT will carry. Scholarships are always on the table as well.
Don't feel too terrible about, I rushed on section 3, any tips on slowing down, besides the obvious.

@AsemanShahsavand how far off are we talking?? I’m shooting for a 160-162. Current PT is 155, but drilling and sections close to the 160s and BR is consistently pushing the mid to upper 160s.

From meeting with a plethora of law school admissions people. They always say they’d like to see a letter that demonstrate your ability in the classroom, as well as a professional one. I would try to get a professor. But really only if they can write you a good one

I would say don’t take a break. But also don’t do as much as it sounds like you’ve been doing. Just small pockets of drilling help

I’ve written one sentence notes on sticky notes and stuck them to my computer. I don’t answer until I’ve eliminated at least two with cause. If you’re going to take a break, don’t fully step away, just do less questions over a more spread out day. Most importantly, slow down(i have to tell myself this all the time).

@Ssss thank you for the words of encouragement! I’ll be taking the test in August so not far behind you. Good luck to you as well!

@WhoAmI!ME you read my mind, studying stressed is not advisable. thank you for the tips! my Blind Reviews are typically pretty good, so I think it's more of getting to the 50/50 and picking the wrong 50.
This is probably premature since I haven't taken a real LSAT yet. But currently I'm drilling in high 150s - low 160s, which an occasional jump to the high 160s, however, standardized tests are not my forte. I currently have a GPA well above most medians, so I was just wondering if anyone had advice for a person in my spot.

Don’t give up on WashU, GPA is right at the 75th. They definitely give a good amount of money out as well.
I find myself struggling with Link Assumption questions. Does anyone have any tips?
I think they did this so its more consistent with what we'll see on test day due to LSAC changing it up
