for $200 the explanations should at least be viewable from the link on the question bank!

OK So I see now. 7sage doesn't have comments specifically attached to the questions on the question bank. Makes it kinda useless tbh

I used a child's pencil - MY FIRST TICONDEROGA, they are much fatter than normal pencils - which reduces stress on your hand and also gives you a larger eraser.

I kept them in my front jacket pocket for easy grabbing.

I didn't bring a sharpener - I had 5 sharpened pencils in my pockets, who needs to waste time sharpening?

Here are my suggestions:

1- You are not focused on doing your PTs. You don't see it like athletic practice, where you are training your mind to be seamless and fast with these processes. Coming on here and posting about 'how to push 170?' shows you are distracted and not focusing your time on the absolute most important thing - timed PTs. If you only just started doing them this week you should be doing them every day! Don't fuss too much about the scores you are getting - just do the test and answer all the questions. You have absolutely not done nearly enough timed PTs to be trying to find other problems. Do more timed PTs, and don't worry about the BR so much. Just do one or two timed PTs every day, and do them especially when you are tired and don't want to. Do 2 PTs back to back without even reviewing them. After 40 or 50, then you can see if you need some kind of outside input.

2- see above.

In my experience, the students at both Columbia Law and CBS are arrogant a.f. and need a reality check.

Ever noticed there are far more 1st year associates entering firms than 5th year associates? Associates above 3rd year are generally listed on the website, and you can see in their diversity publications how many intern/start as 1st years.

You should wonder where they all go. What happens to them. What will happen to you. Don't assume you will be the 10% that 'make it.' Look hard at the debt you will have.

Also if you can't wait 1 year to apply for law school, you might be in for a shock when it will take you 3 years + 6 months more waiting before you are even admitted to the bar. If you can do 3 years 6 months I think a small year is worth is, especially because you absolutely will not get into those top 3 schools without a near-perfect score in each section.

If you know you didn't do well, cancel your score and do it again when you can get a near-perfect score. If you 'think' you did badly on the test, you probably did way worse than you actually think. Even people who confidently are sure they did well with their answers rarely get a score good enough for Columbia. I'm guessing you haven't taken many practice tests or you would be more sure. If you are ready to pay 200,000 for law school you are ready to pay $100 for all of the practice tests.

Cancel today's score, Do them all, timed, under exam conditions using 7sage's virtual proctor.

Then do the test next year and not worry about today. Yes a bad score looks bad no matter what, and of course they look at it. Why would you even want to let the worse score be permanently attached to your name? wait until you can do 3 timed prep-tests in 1 day and get the same score in each one. Then you know on the day you will get that score. Heres the motto: Don't represent yourself as any less than you are.

Video yourself doing the tests. Watch the video and get a 170+ scorer to watch the video and give you test-taking feedback. You may be making mistakes that confuse you in-test that are subconscious.
