I personally can't/don't feel like eating anything around any exam, and I hate coffee. I usually have a cup of green tea in the morning. I was thinking of an energy drink to boost focus, but it makes me run to the bathroom a lot...

I discovered something called "Brain Bullet" chews (essentially a chewable caramel candy) on Amazon that have 80mg of caffeine and 120mg of L-Theanine in each chew. The L-theanine is supposed to ensure a more calm focus, i.e. neutralize the caffeine jitters, so they're sort of tailored to mental stamina not physical boost. I tried it on one PrepTest and it helped me quiet some intrusive thoughts/panic when I lose lack of focus, but it's certainly not a magic potion.

With that being said, I wouldn't try anything food/beverage on the actual test unless you tried it at least a couple of times during a PrepTest to see how you react to it.

I believe LSAC mentions you can eat/drink during your break, but I'm unsure if that means accessing your locker.

For my June test, I wish someone told me that you cannot move an inch from your seat without raising your hand to alert the proctor. At the end of my test, the screen showed I'm all done, so I just got up and left to the proctor's room. They told me I should have raised my hand and waited for someone to escort me back. But otherwise they were nice about it and didn't make a big fuss over it.

All the best of luck🍀 (I personally will need it lol 🥲)

@goldilocks I got the question right but I was thinking the same thing; I can't imagine having a tech person come to your home to plug your PC in as if it's a huge piece of furniture or stove installation lol

I got this question right but man what a bs argument in the stimulus lol

@brine same here, -1 on this q. Feel kinda silly it was a 2-star one 😅

I looked up the guy's works. I don't wanna ever discuss or read about them again

I'll take the L on this one

@NoNamed92 Ah, I see that makes sense. I guess my painful score release blow from June LSAT has fogged up my brain. I appreciate your response ☺️

It would be nice if this tool would work for Canadian schools too…

@Kevin_Lin I’m not sure about this comment, I find the more thorough explanations addressing all aspects much better for sake of proper understanding… Even if I get question right it’s useful to comprehend how the stimulus and all answers work (i.e. please keep comprehensive explanation videos 🙏)

@LydiaVanCleave to each their own :)

Are Core members being added too? Or is this just for the higher tiers of subscription?

as a music major, liberal arts education was one of the biggest mistakes in my life, period.

I work full-time as a paralegal and do study as much as I can. Is it possible? yes, I guess. Is it taking a toll on me? Absolutely 😭 With that being said, as someone who always worked throughout my university studies, I think work experience is always valuable.

@Catpop you’re so right about Reddit…. 🥺

Hi there, congrats!! Which school did you get into? I’m currently a paralegal in Ontario with a masters from UofT. I am aiming at uCalgary.

@Rena12345 agree. BR is great, but people shouldn’t use it for any type of score prediction. One of the Kaplan books said that if everyone got unlimited time on the LSAT, hitting 170-180 would be a breeze. If you miss a question in timed practice, you’ll miss it during the actual LSAT where there’s no BR.

As much as it is hard to replicate quiet testing environment in some circumstances (I try to drill during my work commutes), that is the best way to see how you’d potentially score on the real thing.

Hi there! I am also in quite a tight financial situation - I'll be taking out a massive loan for law school (if I hopefully do get in).

I work full time, and studying from free resources (like library books, ex. Kaplan) improved my score a tiny bit, but not close to what I was looking for. I ultimately opted for the cheapest 7Sage plan, and it really helped me to both boost my score and take study nibs whenever I can (ex. drilling on my phone during my work commute).

I believe that in the end what really made me subscribe is yes, the good reviews, but also this thought: what is more important now - saving that hundred bucks monthly or getting into law school? Now at least I know that if I don't pass the LSAT/won't get in, I will have the satisfaction that I tried my best, including paying for proper study materials. I'd hate the thought that I might have missed my chance if I wouldn't be pinching every penny.

Scoring higher at the LSAT also means more opportunities for scholarships down the road. Nevertheless, I am planning to keep my subscription for only 4 months or so.

This is just my view on this point, I hope you find something that works out for you :)

@ITTutoring thank you! 🙏

@ITTutoring Thank you for the insightful feedback. A lot of the content here pertains to American schools - would you be able to tell whether the approach you outlined applies in Canada as well?

@meepmeep I like your duck profile photo 🦆

@FelipeCaceres-Cambero high five

How do you deal with these questions in time crunch? I get conditional logic mapping but I panic when I have little time to do it 🥺

I started doing them weekly too. I usually get them done early in the morning on the weekend, while my brain is sharp and since it’s my most important part of the day.

I do the stretch and breathing too, otherwise the tension just piles up 😩 I like to drink green tea on the side during the break, but it makes me wanna run bathroom real fast so probably that’s not a solution for the actual test 😅

These explanations are so much more easier than what they do in Kaplan books 😭🙏

I have similar questions. I understand the concept of it but I don't know how to use it going forward - revisit the mistakes? try to memorize patterns? 🥲
