If it's your first time seeing the CC, do it when you're done. This is my second time going through the CC so I'm FPing while I'm learning again.

A lot of Canadian universities have an option of writing an essay to explain your circumstances/ low GPA or LSAT scores. I know someone who got into Western with a 155! Keep at it but don't be too hard on yourself either because it is possible to get into a good law school with those stats, sure it's not common but if you have other things to offer, they definitely consider that. :)

You get a scrap piece of paper for games! This was my main concern too.

I was in the same position but no you don't need to worry about anything like this. As long as you have dual citizenship, you'll pay the "local" rate but obviously out of state residence fees. You wouldn't be subject to international fees.

I remember reading your posts and learning about how far you've come, congratulations! Super proud of you (3 I'm aiming to perfect LG and scrape up points in RC too :)(/p)

Flaw and Weaken for sure lol

You're a queen.

Going off of this, it's better to do a PT when you're mentally there. No point to waste your time or a PT just for shits!

I'm on the same boat. November isn't really do or die for me but I'm trying to think of it that way. I graduate in April and in a perfect world, I'll start in Fall for law but obviously I've come to terms with this not happening. As a back up I've started to apply to masters programs under the Fullbright program. I withdrew from September because I also hit a huge burn out wall and I was underperforming once I hit the 70s. It's hard to jump back into it but I've just started doing things sloooowly... like I JUST finished BRing PT 74. I took it on August 30th and basically took a break from the 1st till the 11th. I thought it would be easy to dive back in but I think it's all about getting back into the routine and not being too hard on yourself if you see a dip since you've obviously been away for some time.

I drew this out in BR (I skipped timed but got correct in BR) and I thought ok well there's two groups those who support vs. don't support for reason x. The people who don't support believe x

Person A: believes opposite of x

So Person A must support

That doesn't necessarily have to be true!! I came across A and it was obvious

Support: reduce risk of fire

Andy: /reduce risk of fire

[So we have to say that Andy doesn't support]

And this AC does say this! Correct :)

I got E because it just seemed kind of obvious but I will admit I was stuck on C. I eliminated it because I thought "well you can't determine whether or not Country F's citizens will have ownership, so this means they could or couldn't which is pretty uncertain and not a definitive answer"

But now I can also see that "one of the highest offers" does not equal being the highest offer on the open market.

I thought E was obvious because it met the second requirement of ownership and the price reduction would virtually mean that it won't receive the highest price.

Correct timed, wrong BR :-) whyyyy

My statistics prof from sophomore year would be disappointed I got this wrong when it was so easy. SAMPLE BIAS!!!

Had it correct then changed it during timed conditions - what really gives it away is the "like lying" part. It's being compared against something. This is what the crux of the argument is where the author is trying to show that these two cases being compared can't draw the conclusion that is set forth

For MBT if it's not explicitly mentioned anything goes which would make those answers wrong by default.

C timed but selected D in BR.

It clicked with me when I realized that the principle being stated was regarding the equal worth of people of different countries yet the conclusion jumped to stating that a nation's government should address the needs of their people. Hmm, what AC would explain this inconsistency? Going from stating that everyone is equally worthy but America should handle only Americans' concerns?

D. It basically says while everyone is equally important, it would be best for America to handle only American concerns.

C just completely misses the point in the second half it's not about which country has needs that are more important. This is also just completely wrong because it was never mentionedd

I thought this passage was easy but the questions were tricky, for #26 I encountered the same issue as JY but I went with A because I was so certain that it was correct.

A: I thought well, it was mentioned that "one cannot assume" so that must mean the author is uncertain with the question being posed. Wrong. If he has a stance as clear as this, "one CANNOT" then there is a position.

Vs. D: line 37-40, "may be" may is uncertain, it's not definitive. I'm upset with my score on this RC but I'm happy I'm learning the tricks with every passage along the way!

I'm in my senior year of undergrad. My plan is to either wake up early and study before class/work or study in between breaks. Obviously, weekends will be dedicated to studying but I'm also making a point to throw in going to the gym in between it all! PM me if you want details :)

Thanks for consolidating the new prompts! But how come these optional essays don't feel optional lol

"Optional" = do it anyways lmao

This is amazing!

Trust me, I know how you feel! The week before the exam I was having anxiety attacks, I couldn't sleep, I was trembling and worried all the time. It got to a point where I couldn't sleep at night and I STILL forced myself to study. It was hard to withdraw since I prepped so hard all summer but I'm so glad I did. I've taken almost a 2 week break and it's so much better to recognize your limits. If I sat in at that exam, I definitely would have pushed myself mentally and strained my well-being. You come first, the LSAT isn't going anywhere. Another 2 months won't do anything but refine and improve your studies. Go with the flow and take time for yourself. Studying is only part of the equation, your ability to be fully "there" and conquer the test takes mindset and your physical presence. We'll crush it! (3(/p)

@ashleighkong22327 We got this!! I am, but I haven't registered yet. Have you? I'm not sure if a lot of test centers are already full, or if a lot of them didn't host a sitting this time, but most of the usually available centers in my area are now unavailable. :(

No LOL. I saw the test center around me is open but I'm thinking to do it soon.

Same, girl, same.

We got this! Are you looking at November?

Thank you for your candor and sharing your story with us. I appreciate you taking the time to explain your decision to postpone, it has helped me with my decision as well. I've been a fairly silent 7Sager, but am realizing that my silence is not helping myself nor anyone else. As for you wanting to go to law school right after undergrad, I felt that way too. In fact I had totally given up on the idea of law school because I felt that my undergrad GPA was too low (3.49). It wasn't until my third year of teaching (I did Teach For America and have stayed in the classroom since my commitment) that one of my TFA friends decided to apply to law school with the same undergrad GPA as myself and inspired me to believe it wasn't too late. She is now a 2L at Columbia and is killing it. She is on the moot court team, worked for a Supreme Court of California judge this summer and is interviewing at top law firms in San Francisco. All of this is to say, she firmly believes that her confidence in law school is a result of her working post-undergrad and not going straight into law school. One thing is being ready for the LSAT and another is being ready for law school. Your law school journey will happen when you are ready for it. :)

Yes! I've become open to not going straight into law school as well. It took some time for me to allow myself to understand that there is no clear cut plan to life. I've started to apply for masters with attached scholarships (entirely funded) as a back up plan. I'm set on November but if it doesn't happen for Fall 2019 it'll happen some other time. Thank you for sharing this story (3(/p)

I did the same thing-- twice! I was originally scheduled for February but I got a really bad concussion after Thanksgiving (hit my head 3 times) and couldn't start studying again until May. I forgot pretty much everything and restarted the CC. I was scheduled to test in September, but just withdrew. Since August 3rd, I have had a migraine every day. That being said, I've lost a lot of study time. However, I'm even questioning whether or not I should even test in November. I'm just starting to see how much potential I have if I continue to study. It may be worth it to delay... not sure yet!

It's okay girl. I remember you were also going through some stuff and you had issues sleeping like me. I withdrew officially a few days ago and I just moved back to Waterloo for my last year of uni so I've just had a hectic last week full of emotions. I'm glad I withdrew but it just bummed me out since I prepped so hard this summer but I think it's a good decision we both made. I'm sure we're gonna kill it! I can feel my BR going up and learning more so I'm confident I'll do better in November than I would have tomorrow. I'll see you on the BR November group? (3(/p)
