Necessary questions + general LR improvement

Hi all-

I started studying for the LSAT in February, and had been making improvements until I plateaued on the last four PTs. On average, I miss about 10 questions on LR in total, and this is where I can make up my most ground. I feel like I am understanding it in untimed work, but when I go to the test my brain just says "seems right enough" and I move on. Does anyone have any suggestions for getting over a plateau, with regards to LR? Especially necessary questions, and questions from 18-23.

Thank you!

Does anyone know if the LG with the 7 schools/theater performances was experimental or real?

Experimental, I think.

Hey! I am currently using that service and I really love it. 1. It keeps me on task and on track. 2. They have really valuable editing for essays. 3. I am just entering the scholarship negotiation phase of my cycle and they have already been valuable in that. Obviously it is pricey but I would think hard about what aspects of the cycle you need help with. Being the first person in my family to apply to law school and living across the country from my parents AND being out of undergrad, this was the best option for me.

One week!

What is everyone doing to prepare? Would anyone recommend taking a PT on Sunday (the day before) or leaving that day to clear your head?

Thank you 7Sage! 173 first time and not planning on a retake. The blind review and study buddies changed my life.

Ok I took another PT this weekend and have weirdly discovered something- I have been taking my best PTs after I biked to the place I take them, and my worst ones after being sedentary beforehand. Looks like I am going to have to figure that out.

Sections have varied- sometimes it’s reading comp, most recently logic games, and earlier on it was always logical reasoning. Hopefully can drill down on some issues in the next couple weeks! Thanks for the encouragement :)

PTs all over the place

Hi everyone-

I am taking the July LSAT (SOS) and am going to go into it with PTs all over the map- ranging from a 164 to a 175 (averaging around a 168). Any suggestion on how I can push them over the hump in the last couple weeks? Planning on taking two a week in between now and then. I just took PT 77 which was absolutely brutal and demoralizing but I am trying to stay calm. Any tips/ tricks out there?

Undergraduate rank + "softs"

I have heard conflicting information about this but all else being equal (with GPA and LSAT mattering most) does undergrad rank matter? Say someone has a 3.7 from HYP versus a 3.7 from Ole Miss, does undergrad rank give any advantage to the Ivy alumni? How much does this matter? What about relevant job experience? Do "softs" matter?

Are you sure?
