i've seen a lot of discourse around people scoring much lower than their average pt's

once you get good enough at diagramming - practice not having to physically write it down during a timed test

if you see an answer you like - pick it and move

^^^ I second this

I say worry about it after the exam so you can focus on one thing at a time. You MUST complete the writing portion to receive your score, unless you have another writing same on file (ex. from the Aug 2024 test). I would recommend completing at leasttt a week for the scores come out but if you can 2 weeks before to give it time to get approved (usually doesn't take a while but who knows)

sleep -> /socks

Translation: If sleep then no socks.

or

/socks -> sleep

Translation: If no socks then sleep.

This would be incorrect to me because it seems to confuse sufficient and necessary (someone correct me if I am wrong) bc its like, the rule is only for when he sleeps he isn't wearing socks NOT when he isn't wearing socks he is sleeping.

For certain indicators, they are not always actively being an indicator - which is what makes this hard. in that sentence it seems that the indicator is always.

Agreed with both above comment -- if you did not cancel those 145's (they show on your LSAC acct) I would also recommend potentially writing an addendum!

Nah I think you're good to go! Esp if you have no yet hit that high of a score, don't be the person who goes back for round 2 & scores lower. I would advise differently if you had continued studying / were scoring higher than that currently on PT's or if the school you wanted to attend had different medians -- I think you have a really good shot! (although take this with a grain of salt plz)

I read a passage in my head as if im doing story time with 1st graders lol this is v true

weakening - introduce an alternative cause (which answer choice is most likely to break down the conclusion presented in the stimulus?)

strengthening - eliminate alternative causes

make sure you are properly identifying the conclusion for these as well! these question types are super annoying & meant to play mental games (I also still hate them) -- ALSOOOO do not overlook the word "except" in the question stem! I have found I get a lot wrong simply by missing that.

take a break! refill your cup. do something you've put off for a while. switch up your study plan (attend some live classes instead of drilling? find a study buddy?)

In the exact same position for the most part, just a bit behind you in the curriculum bc I started later. I plan to take June & August. Also planning a backup for September is August proves to be difficult due to absence of logic games. My thought process is that since we are the first batch to go through this, there may be grace - we are like the guinea pigs. While I have seen that scores are predicted not to change, LSAC can't guarantee that & there is a probability that we see a drop in scores. I am trying to give myself to most opportunities I can for a score that will get me into the schools I want while also applying by the end of October.

@ said:

You received a letter or email confirmation?

Yes!

I would drill question types that you struggle with to supplement the PT's!

Bottom threshold: 50% +1

Top threshold: 100% all

Can imply some, many is not most

I needed this sm thank you

@ hi! I also have adhd & I got extended time accommodations -- on the form there is a box for "other" & I wrote removal of experimental section!

same!!!

id contact admissions

either

connect your work with kids maybe to wanting to be a lawyer to make a better future for upcoming generations orrrr something with education? or even just take qualities you've drawn on from working with kids & connect those qualities to why you'd make a good lawyer

spend time untimed drilling to get used to how to answer each question type, you soon get faster. then start applying that to pt or just taking a section of a pt to refine timing

I have recently been told to do this! Although, I will not be doing it for Harvard lmao

I think schools will like to see that you took the time to personalize your PS per their programs instead of uploading the same one for all -- shows you care

I would say for me practice makes perfect - repetition & a thorough wrong answer journal helped me start seeing patterns in my reasoning (whether correct or incorrect)

take classes! upgrade to live

Having a science background is finally beneficial for me
