I'm in a similar boat, I graduated in 2023. Two Judges I work for and my direct admin supervisor agreed to write letters for me. I based my decision on the quality of the letters. I know that the professional letters will more accurately depict my capabilities. I don't keep in touch with my former professors either, so it would feel like a stranger is writing my LOR if that makes sense!

@HappyTestTaker I asked the chat function on LSAC and they let me know to just resubmit my transcripts and they'll be reprocessed. Submitted yesterday so we will see! As someone who would greatly benefit from the omission, here's to hoping it'll go through.

@jdelbosco Props to you! This schedule is hard! I definitely need to focus more on quality (thorough review and understanding) rather than quantity (constant drilling), especially with my limited time schedule. I commute on the bus to work so I have 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the afternoon. Then, gym/PT at 6:15, sit down to study at 7:30, usually going until 9:30 or 10 (thank god I haven't started my marathon training block).

I like your perspective on BR. It's definitely been pointing out my overconfidence/underconfidence errors where applicable. What would you say is the most important part of your review process/the most helpful?

Is my practice with conditionals really paying off? Got this right with diagramming in 1:10! Nothing to add here, just proud of myself.

I was jumping through hoops to make AC C sound correct, but during BR, E popped out as the only obvious correct AC. What was I thinking!

@akelly9 "To reduce the mosquito population in a resort area" is the intended effect. It is reasonable to assume that the opposite of the intended effect is an increase.

Wrong Answer Journal

Is there a way to tag wrong answer journal so you can easily go back to the questions/your notes? I've been bookmarking, but I also bookmark questions not in my wrong answer journal. Thanks!

@KSki I know this was over half a year ago, but did you ever get any guidance on this question? I have a C&F issue from when I was 16 and discuss the circumstances already in my PS. TIA! :)

Should I turn off recommended BR?

Is there any benefit to turning it off? Does it "inflate" your BR score? I start my practice block this week, aiming for 1-2 PTs a week (I work full time and have 4-5 weekly dr/pt appointments so not too much time in a day). I want to maximize my BR benefit. My hesitation with keeping it on is that it points out questions that I did not flag and instead felt confident on, prompting me to review them only because it's recommended. I don't look at why it was flagged because if it says the question was incorrect, I know I can eliminate the answer choice without fully going through the logical reasoning. All this to say, does anyone have any thoughts on this/which was is more beneficial? I took the test in 2023 and scored a 160, but I did not do any BR in my very few PTs I took (only 3 highest being a 166). I'm aiming for 165-170 by September/October. Thanks in advance!

I have unmedicated ADHD so I feel this 100%. Personally, I play deep concentration music on YouTube (I know this won't work for test day, but it's helping train my mind for extended deep focus. But mostly it's recognizing I'm drifting, dialing back in, and taking 10-15 seconds to close my eyes, breathe, and give myself a motivational pep talk. You are your own best coach! The lost 10-15 seconds is worth it if you're going to continue drifting for the rest of the section. I hope this helps a bit :)

@ElizabethPadrnos From my understanding, most can include all. Not usually, but it can.
