use 7sage and then go to loophole. Ive found 7sage to explain things much clearer but the loophole does give very interesting insights
poor howard, they really did him dirty, hes the real victim. and to answer your question. most schools only start reviewing files end of october so you are fine!
i usually go to bed super late and wake up super late. I also had 8am and woke up at 6am and couldnt go back to sleep so I meditated and tried to get my heart to stop freaking out, the adrenaline will keep you awake trust
Hey, ever since i took the official lsat in september I have been scoring 6 points lower than my official score. I am happy with my official score but I wanted a few extra points in October. I would recommend to put the LSAT aside for at least a week. Dont even think about it, go get a massage, chill with friends. If you are not registered for november, register for January, its still not too late. The only reason I would encourage a little bit to not wait for next cycle is because they might score the writing section and who knows what other changes they will do and theres the possibility it might get even more competitive. You know the test right now, 172 pt shows me you know it. Burnout is very very real but usually one week is more than enough to get the rest necessary for your brain to recoup. I wish you the best of luck in any decision you make, trust yourself, you got this.
I am applying to a school that allows only 2 LOR.
I have 5 to choose from. I am choosing 1 Professor and 1 professional. I worked 3 years full time in Finance before doing my undergrad so I have a good LOR from a manager that really knows me and speaks of my character and responsibility.
I then started work during undergrad for a government agency. The LOR is general, speaks to my professionalism and that I get along with my coworkers, am proactive etc...
The thing is that my Personal statement covers my government job. Should I use the government LOR or the manager that knows me.
Thank you!!!
What I’ve learned from life is that what happens, happens. While we think we can control the score we get, there are so many things that are outside of our control. A fight with a friend or family member before the test day can destroy your test date and taking a later test means less chances of getting in… At the end of the day, you do what you know you have to do and leave the rest to God.
@zunair i strongly disagree, if you dont have responsibilities after work, it is the best time to study. For me as soon as I started studying while a little tired is when I saw the biggest score increase in PTs. I noticed that I wasnt getting tired as fast and could actually have the stamina for the 4th section. For me what helped with motivation is having a study partner or tutor and setting up a time to meet usually right after work so that I dont have time to talk myself out of it or take a nap.
I think that if you are above the medians for non religious schools they might want to protect their yield since your motivations are religious and thus less likely to accept their offers. I changed my PS and perspective statement for non religious schools.
you wont regret it, I thought my PS was the best thing ever written; everyone in my family agreed. When I met with the writer, we agreed that my PS could go without 60% of what I had written. We brainstormed some things that I definitely should have talked about and after 4 sessions I have a PS I am sure won't lower my chances of getting in. (That's the goal at least for me).
listen to the 7sage podcast, they go over your questions. Another advice is to book an essay workshop with 7sage, they really know what AO are looking for and how to write your story
why does the museum need a new exhibit hall? cause attendance fell and nothing else to fix it worked. Context does not provide support for the conclusion. But we see that the first sentence explains the why the conclusion is warranted.
dont waste an attempt if you have not reached your target goal. thats why its recommended not to schedule the lsat until you reach your goal. I would suggest you do not take the lsat in august, you only have 5 attempts. I started at 152 diagnostic and it took 6 months to see a 10 point improvement. 140 tells me that you dont understand the foundations fully yet. What made the biggest difference for me is trying to predict the answer choices, i started with Strengthen and Weaken and then moved to NA. if you can predict 160 shouldnt be a problem. taking the lsat is never "practice for the real one".
@alimccoll2026@gmail.com been studying for about a year. Full time work and full time undergrad. No kids. married. So 2 hours after work or school. Play video games, watch YouTube, watch tv.
I study and then I reward myself. I never study more than 2 hours a day, except PTs saturday. so if im done at 12pm. I have all day to chill.
predict predict predict. thats all i have to say. I still eliminate correct answer choices but its gotten better since I have been predicting
You shouldn't be tired after 1 section of LR. So I don't think that's the problem. For myself, when doing PTs, after 3 full lr sections, my brain is dead, so I hope that 4th will be experimental. I think your score is lower just because more questions are harder for you. ex drill has 1 na but a full section might have 3 or 4 na. Look to see if there is a pattern in the questions you miss.
I use em dashes only when I have time to perfect my writing. On the argumentative writing I did not use em dashes so I decided to not use them on the personal statement or essays. If you use em dashes automatically and you used them in the argumentative writing, I think you are fine.
