I took one in the US and one in Taiwan. Didn't feel much difference.

Welcome to HLS :D! See you in September (end of August)!

Thank you all :D

@ Can I ask when you started hit 170?

Do you usually draw conditional logic for LR??

I think in I started hitting 170 in late July and I got 173ish in late August. However, in September I plateaued for quite a while until the real test. I guess I broke the plateau on the test day :D

@ how long did you prepare for LSAT? any tips on LG?

For 6 months in total. I started preparing LSAT in March while still working but later quit my job in June to study the LSAT.

For LG, I did the Cambridge bundle of LG and took JY's core curriculum and that's it...

Well can I still write an review? Just saw this lol. I will write one regardless of the prize :D

@ Out of curiosity - What was/were your most visited core lesson(s)? Similarly, which ones did you find to be most helpful?

The section on "Intro to logic" is my most visited core lesson. If I couldn't go to sleep at time, I will try to connect all the lessons in my mind though haha :D it goes like "first we have MP questions because that's the basis for all LR questions. Then we learned MSS questions because it's basically MP questions with the conclusion in the answer choice. Next we studies logic and learned that assumptions are the weak link of an argument...etc etc..."

@ I was planning to do two a week. Why did you suggest not taking one per day?

I personally can only be focused and efficient for 4-5 hours a day. If I want to BR the PT on the same day, I will not be as focused. BR is the most important learning process and I don't want to do it half-hearted.

Well, don't do one PT per day, that's my advice.

You need to be interviewed in order to get in. But it is not the case that whoever gets interviewed first gets admitted first. I was interviewed in early February last cycle but was only admitted at the end of March. But seems like you are in the first interview group! My friend was interviewed last year in the first group and was admitted before Christmas.

Hi Coco,

Thank you for keeping me grounded and giving a great response, I appreciate it. I understand that this is by no means a guarantee of admissions and I come very well fall into that 25% who are not admitted, however, it is good to know this information.

You are greatly appreciated.

Hahaha that's what I kept telling myself during all those unbearable waiting days... that I might well be the 25%. Well good luck to your cycle and probably see you next year at HLS :wink:

Thank you guys for coming :D

I did my interview last year. It was almost midnight in China and the internet connection wasn't great... so we actually turned off the video. So they are pretty accommodating and nice.

Raphael summarized the questions nicely. The questions they asked me were just normal. My advice would be to think about what you want to ask them. My interviewer just graduated from HLS not very long ago, so we talked a lot about her time at HLS, which was great.

Good luck and hope to see you on campus in August!

You can just take it off if they question you. Some ID photos require you to take off your glasses anyways. Doesn't seem to be a problem to me when I took the test.

My friend got 2LG 2LR 1RC. Heard that the curve is -8. Crazy...

I applied last cycle. I waited until my September score released (so end of October) to start writing my PS (I was thinking about the subject all the time though). And I submitted my application right before thanksgiving.

Yeah, I mean I remember you killing the LSAT and still making time to write a killer PS. It really doesn't take that much time once you have an idea of what you want to write about. Editing is what took me the longest and making sure I had other experts I trust proofread and edit it.

Haha yeah, I worked with David to edit my PS. Since David always responded within a day or two, the total editing process only took about a month. I also had two other experts (read: friends) to proofread my PS. The time is more than enough if you can work efficiently. Also, I did not need to drastically change my PS subject or something.

@ Good to see you again:)

Good to see you too :D I was out traveling last month and just came back. Preparing for law school now~

Last year the June LSAT score came out on July 9th. The test was administered on June 26th.

At least it's law school ad... I am still seeing LSAT prep ads even I'm a 1L now...

You should report the ad and write to Facebook that you scored 99 percentile!

lol, i wish they offer than option for me :smiley:

I decided to take the LSAT in 2014, third year of college. I purchased some popular LSAT prep books and read them throughout my summer while doing physics research on campus. Did some PTs and took the September 2014 test. Knew I was not ready for it and scored 161. I sort of gave up the idea of going to law school after the defeat and went on to work after graduation. Half a year into my job, I decided to take the LSAT again. Again, I started with the popular books but I knew that they didn't work last time. So I did some research and found 7Sage. Abandoned everything else immediately and purchased ultimate+. Finished cc in 3 months and PTed for 2 and a half months. I took the September 2016 LSAT, got a 177 and went to HLS.

What do you think was the difference between the other LSAT prep books (Powerscore? LSAT trainer?) and 7sage? Anything concrete you felt were clear improvements?

I was good at LG, but JY improved my technique. For RC, JY has a clear way to train and improve. I found his video explanation on RC paragraphs (not questions) very helpful. By following his explanation, I was able to learn how to effectively read the articles. For LR, I found JY's lawgic easier to understand. JY was able to to simplify things better than other test prep books I read.

At least it's law school ad... I am still seeing LSAT prep ads even I'm a 1L now...

That's great! :D

Where did you go for undergraduate? Just curious.

A top 30 liberal art college, not very impressive lol

I consistently scored 170-175 (175+ after BR) until the last three PTs before the September test. I scored two 168 and an inflated 172 for the last three. I basically told myself that it's not representative of my entire PT process and just didn't let the lower scores influence me. I was also really wanted to do another PT few days before the test day just to prove myself. But I held back and followed my initial plan. Guess what, I achieved a 177.
