Hey everyone,
I'm sure some of you have seen discussions about this too. Can anyone provide conclusive evidence that the writing sample must be written in cursive? I have been told that it needs to be, but I can't find anything that suggests this from the LSAC or in the directions for the writing sample. I really would rather not have to write in cursive, so if someone could put this to bed, I'd be very appreciative. :)
I'm in a similar boat. I've been scoring consistently at around 165, trying to break to 170 before the test. I did about a week of solid RC drilling a couple weeks ago and I think you'd be surprised how much it helps. I took a section at a time and really focused on reasoning structure and timing. My average miss on RC is definitely lower now. However, I also agree that maybe there is a better opportunity for gains on the LR front. At the end of the day, both sections are going to have to go up for you to get the score you want.
I say go for it, I am.
Thanks for the advice, guys. This actually makes a lot of sense.
Hey everyone,
I'm studying for the September LSAT and have been at it a few months. Until recently, the way I've been setting up for games has been to create setups with initial rules and inferences in pen. Then, for each question I would add new information to my set up with pencil. This way I could easily erase from question to question and always go back to my original set up. However, I recently realized I would not be able to do this on the actual exams, because pens are not allowed (I know, stupid oversight).
So, now I feel a little a slower with games, trying to adapt to life without a pen. Each question I'm having to focus more of my brain's "RAM" on remembering what I shouldn't be erasing at the end of the question, instead of having my full processing power devoted to question itself.
I'm wondering how others approach their set up with a pencil. What strategies have people found to be effective? Do others do this so differently, that am looking at this all wrong?
Hey,
I hope you took some time off and it helped. I was feeling the exact same last week! I swear I was getting worse and feeling so frustrated/stressed. Stopped looking at law school stuff completely last Thursday and took the whole weekend off. Just took another PT yesterday, and increased by 2 points. Felt really guilty about the break at first, but so glad I did!
