Hi @, I closely reviewed JY's advice for LG speed and accuracy, which helped me to overcome the same problems after a few tries. Please review this lesson https://classic.7sage.com/lesson/logic-games-habits-for-speed-and-accuracy/ , and summarize the steps and suggestions in that lesson. Some of the steps may sound unnecessary, but give them a try, and you will eventually come up with your own strategy.

I am in the same position as you. I am working as a paralegal and have been studying irregularly for almost 10 months. Paralegal work is really tough with all the reading and drafting, and then we go back home after at least 8 hours of work to read RC passages that drain our will to live. I worked out a schedule with the partners to take Friday half off so I can do two prep tests over the weekends. See if you can do the same. For me, I am not performing as I was expecting, but I decided to do the test anyway because I am tired of studying and working; being constantly anxious about the test is really unhealthy. As for encouragement, I would say trust your intuition and have realistic expectations. For the next two weeks, study efficiently. If there are clear areas for improvement, focus on those. For me, I am missing so many questions on RC, almost half of the points I miss are in the RC section, so I am gonna focus on RC to see if I can get a couple extra points.

Btw did you read the report 7sage did about admission rates for early applicants, it seems that our chances are significantly higher if we apply in September. So take that into consideration when it comes to thinking about postponing to September. Maybe if you don't do well in June, you can consider September.

Would anyone please give a better explanation of why answer A is incorrect? I got the answer correct on the timed session where I chose B, but in the review session I chose A. I understand why B is correct, but don't get why A is incorrect.

Okay, say that 5 million take the vaccine only once, while 1 million who are diabetic take their medications 6 times throughout their lifetime, which makes the total 6 million. So why is A the correct answer? This example conforms to A, but shows that number of people doesn't really weaken the question. Could someone explain if I am misunderstanding the question?

I wouldn't get the right answer for question 19 even if I spent an hour staring at the couple sentences discussing chess players, let alone getting it right in an actual exam. What threw me off is the sentence right before that. I guess it did the same to 52% of students as the stats shows.

I figured out that C is wrong using a different approach. What if the store is selling the videocassette for $10 and the store's cost is $4 in total? If that's the case, then the largest part of the customer's fee is going to the store owner's pocket, not to royalties as AC C states.

But, if you make sure your study time is really efficient, you can get there!

You are totally right, and I'll be focusing on areas with more potential for improvement to get a higher score.

@ said:

Depends on many factors (e.g. what your score is, what your target schools are, etc). But other factors notwithstanding, my guess is that they will not care much (if at all). Heard of one legal assistant/paralegal who worked at a biglaw. He had a sound UGPA, but didn't have too much time on his hands because of the sheer amount of workload. As a result, he earned a relatively low LSAT score and had to choose from local law schools.

That case is very relevant to my situation.Thank you for sharing!

Btw, I am aiming for UCLA, UCI, USC, and others in Southern California. My GPA is higher than the median of these schools, but I just want my LSAT score to be higher than the median as well.

@ said:

Lots of people work full-time and study for the LSAT. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but schools are not going to care at all and I would recommend against writing to that effect.

Haha no thank you for your honesty and for replying. I'll most likely use my work experience to negotiate for more scholarship money (if any) later in the process. Also, I agree many students work full-time and study, and I shouldn't make working full-time an excuse for not studying well enough to get a higher score.

@ yeah I heard from a friend, whose uncle worked in law school admissions, that they discard most applications without looking at anything other than LSAT score and GPA. Although race is in my favor I guess (I am Syrian), but I hate the idea that just being from a minority gives me an advantage. The schools' concern about ranking is getting so ridiculous, but we, as applicants, are also supporting this status quo by mainly comparing schools based on their ranking.

@ thanks for asking... I will have saved up enough money by law school time for the first 12 months of living expenses (I live frugally haha, not a choice) ... After that, I'll be working 20 hours a week during school time, and full-time during summer ... But most likely I am gonna have to take some loans for living expenses during the second & third years. I've worked since high school, so studying and working at the same time won't be a major issue for me, though I am sure law school will be a lot tougher than poli sci.

I read a couple forums online, and it seems that LSAC makes the photograph requirements seem more strict than they are. As long as the photo looks like a passport photo and looks like me, it should be fine. The 6 months requirements is most likely there to emphasize that the photo must be recent, 6 or 9 months don't really make such a difference. Man this freaked me out more than my recent LSAT scores haha.
