Hey! Thanks for the great tips on the webinar!

I would specifically recommend the admission's lesson about outlining and drafting personal statements and building your essay from the top down or bottom up. It really helped me organize my essay and convey how an experience taught me a lesson and prepared me for law school, while still maintaining that personal edge that I want an admission's board to see! 10/10 would recommend!

Thanks!

Hey Pam!

About 3 months ago, I was feeling the same about RC. I felt super crammed on time and almost felt like I wasn't absorbing very much when I read. I would miss at least 10 questions in the section but lately, I've cut that number in half and it's only getting better!

I started a 3 week speed reading program and have gone through it twice now, so that has 100% contributed to my reading pace and retention improving, but I have to agree that the memory method and really working on low resolution summaries does wonders. I was skeptical about it at first and really only focused on the lessons for LR and LG, but I have to say the lessons on RC are just as helpful. Practice and really try to train yourself using the memory method the way JY has it set out in the lesson (Duh, but for someone stubborn like me who thought I could get away with skipping that part,I was wrong lol).

Something else that has been helpful for me is I've started reading on my own quite a bit, just for fun. Obviously going through hours of lessons and blind review on all of these different types of questions is super important and is your bulk of practice, but because we're only human its also exhausting. I like breaking out of the routine toward the end of my day with a good novel, it helps me practice my reading speed and retention without actively thinking about it.

I know a lot of these suggestions might be common sense, but I hope they help!

Hang in there and don't forget the most important thing: when you feel tired or burned out, cut yourself some slack and make sure you take a break!

Congrats that's amazing!

@insidesurgery489 I thought about that too, but I wrote my personal statement already on my decision to study law and to finally find the courage to tell my parents about it during my senior year of undergrad, because they really wanted me to go to medical school. It seems sort of silly but honestly it was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do because I feared disappointing them so much. And now that I think about it, I already mention both being the daughter of immigrants and how my majors both paved the way for me to study law, so then should I even write a diversity statement? I wanted to take the opportunity to write the optional essays if I could, but I don't want to sound redundant either

@jonahgriego643 Thank you so much, this is great advice and I am going to take it!

My goal is a 165 score, and right now my average pt score is 159-160. My worst section over all is logic games, I'm improving but I still am feeling very rushed throughout that entire section.
