I feel like I am hitting a plateau on the LR section, I keep getting 7 or 8 questions wrong every time I do it. I am starting to feel sick while doing the questions and cannot concentrate!!! Anyone with similar problem??? How do I overcome this?
it is somehow scary that PT81 has a very ungenerous curve
@ I did my NU one two weeks ago, the questions aren’t exactly the same, but prep with those def prepares you for the interview since the answers that you are going to give them are similar. Also, I think they ask everyone why NU and what else do you want to tell us.
Hello guys,
really need some help here. I stopped doing lsat (for 2 weeks) because I was studying for my exams. Before I was able to have like 2-3 wrong for LR (BR score) and 1-2 for LG no BR and like 4-5 for RC (BR) and I was improving too..and now I just don't want to mention how much I get wrong even with BR :( Feeling stressed. Is it going to get better once I get back to the flow by doing more practice questions?
Hello guys. Really need help here. I've been in a plateau of 165 for like 4 PTs already (1.5month)? So I stopped taking full length PTs but instead I just do timed drilling mainly on LR and RC for 2 weeks.(before I do drillings during weekdays and one full length on weekend) I saw some improvements from drilling practices, -2/-3 for each LR max and 0/-2 for LG. I am not sure is it because I had done those drilling questions before that when I read a statement from LR I can just directly formulate an answer and look for that answer in AC. So yesterday, I finally decided to take a full length to see my progress etc. (PT71) Though my score remained the same, my LR got so much more terrible, -5 and -6. RC was still the same, LG -3 (boo). And for LR my error is like everywhere(I was still able to formulate the answer after finishing the stem, but still). Before I was mainly getting inference and flaw incorrect, and now I just make mistakes here and there. (So I guess maybe I did improve on inference and flaw?) I am feeling so discouraged:( and anxiety overwhelmed as my test is in September. Sorry if I am writing like elementary, just don't even know how to express this. HELP @"Nicole Hopkins"
The BR meeting quit unexpectedly, I was in the middle of the question with DUE, are you here???
Would C be correct if the "should" is changed to "must" ?

Hi! I'm not sure if by list you mean the tag list for this study group. You should ask @ if you'd like to be tagged. But if you meant you'd like to go over PT56RC tomorrow, let me know and I can send you the discord link!
oh sorry for the confusion, I meant the list for the RC tomorrow, THANKSSS
@ Thanks for your help! I am actually pretty consistent in LG, sadly, my fluctuation is mainly in LR, like some answers just don't pop out to me in that test comparing to the others:( How would you approach this? Thank you again
Hello,
I just restarted my full length practice after a while, scored a 164 for pt 52 last week and 172 for pt 51 this week (WTH)..I was also sick while doing PT 52 last week but I doubt that is the reason since I only improved 2 points after BR. Should I attribute this to differences in the level of difficulty? How do you guys keep your score consistent?
THANKSSS

train yourself to run on a treadmill for an hour nonstop with speed, it really helps to improve your stamina for the exam
Mind Body connection? I might have to try running a bit more and check this technique out!

@ do you mind to read my why umich? I am not sure whether it fits their taste :(
WL as well. Is sending in a Why UMich and an LSAT addendum a bad idea? (assuming they want me to address my huge score differences)
I use my journal as reflection, like what i did wrong today and why do i think i chose the wrong answer etc

@ great! i will try that, thank you!
@ @ i usually have trouble prephrasing the flaw of an argument and this type of question is keeping me away from achieving a higher score, so im trying to find a strategy that could quickly lead to a correct AC. What method do you guys usually use when you are under time pressure?
In approaching those "most vulnerable to criticism" question, do you guys think I can treat it as a weakening question and if the AC is correct, it will weaken the argument? Any other suggestion to solve this type?
@ nothing special except those mentioned by themikey and the mandatory why cornell. Maximum 1000 words. I also have a list of Cornell law interview questions gathered by some asian experts. I can PM it to you if you want.
@ one part of the application asked me to write Why Cornell.
The trainer improved my RC so much, i only got -2 on my real exam from a diagnostic of getting half of the section wrong. It teaches you some strategy on answering RC questions under timed conditions, so you dont have to always waste time on looking back to the passage.
https://niuschools.com/article/contents/id/4683 this article i found online gathered the most frequently asked interview questions by NU and Cornell, ignore all the chinese on the site, the first 43 english questions are NU's and the rest are cornell's
x (-)~y is if x then not y and if not y then x
x->~y is if x then not y
@ just scheduled it! Thanks!
@ did you receive an email invitation or you have to go somewhere to register yourself? I clicked for video interview when filling out my application, but have not received any information regarding the interview. Thanks!

no but if Harvey hired him as paralegal, he won't be able to negotiate with people...
Hello,
I am PT-ing for the september test, and am wondering if anyone in greater vancouver area want to meet up or facetime to do BR together maybe twice a week.

The order of my test was LR (25), RC, LR (25), LR (26), LG. The question topics that I remember from the LR sections are:
First LR 25: prodevelopment was the first question
Second LR 25: a question about commitment should be morally neutral
Third LR 26: science with physical phenomena, tornado, Indian spice.
For me, I honestly thought that the first LR section was the hardest and second was very easy. It seems like the second one is the experimental section which is pretty upsetting...
I feel the same. I have 25 25 26 as well and the 1st 25 was harder than the second 25...
Which one is even experimental...
Cant attend today due to family plan, will see you all next week!
Scored 10 points lower than usual on LR. This test is...ugh
I asked two and two of them did not know me at all(but I got really high grades in those classes). One just asked for my PS which i didn't have at the time so I sent her my PS outline, the other asked me to meet and I just talk non-stop for an hour. Profs usually are not surprised when students ask them for LOR, and they are pretty willing to write you one if you get good grades in their classes(not sure about other uni but thats the case in mine)
