was in almost your exact position! i took the entry level legal position and it has been working out so far. i've had to sacrifice gym a few times and my time management skills have been VERY tested but it's super possible
CONGRATS!!!!
if you don't mind, where can we find more info on hunting vs. POE'ing? would love to learn more
CONGRATS AGAIN!!!!!!
so excited!! do you plan on doing these for more score releases in the future?
157 is a beautiful starting point for 170+!! already have a good logical foundation to build on. you got this :D
in addition to thorough review i like to see what advice is posted on the lsat/7sage reddit and on the forums here! take the advice with a GIANT GRAIN OF SALT and please discard anything that isn't working for you but i have found good advice from poking around there
like everyone said it's excellent that you have narrowed it down to 1-2! if you choose an answer choice and feel tempted to switch make a rule for yourself that you cannot switch unless you find a compelling reason as to WHY that a/c is wrong
I think more of what you're doing will help! I had (still have lol) the same issues of hesitation and what helped for me was to physically write down a plan of attack for the questions that stumped me. I liked to go through the 7sage curriculum and look at the lessons for the question type and base my strategies off of that. Having an "actual" thought-out plan of attack vs just figuring it out helped a lot. Best of luck <3
writing out my thought process.
the argument:
money does not exist, b/c if people stopped believing in it, it would cease to exist.
belief gone = money gone
A says anything that ACTUALLY FOR REAL exists would CONTINUE to exist even if the belief is gone
i.e. if the money actually existed the belief would not matter.
the belief matters
= the money does not exist
Hi! Highly recommend searching the title of your post in discussions, lots of great advice on here if you look for it :)
hi! make sure you feel as confident as possible with conditional reasoning. that was the thing that gave me the biggest jump. ANY time you encounter a question that you don't know how to approach, write it down and come back to it during review. overhaul your review system-- you should be understanding why the right answer is correct, why the wrong answers are each incorrect, and (imo most importantly) WHY you chose the wrong answer. getting really granular and detailed on the review will help a lot, it's just kind of arduous to sit with the same question for upwards of 20 minutes just thinking LOL
lastly i like to focus on quality over quantity to an extreme degree. if i make any quantifiable progress in a study session (am i measurably better at identifying the conclusion? did i get a streak of whatever when i've never done that before? etc) then i count it as a win. helps me avoid those 5 hour study sessions where it feels like you are just sitting there rotting in front of the screen
happy to answer anything else! i hope this helped/made sense
seconding the hoodie and notebook ideas! maybe some kind of wrong answer journal book?
Reading the question stem first helps me look for the necessary information within the stimulus
Hi! I would definitely start by taking an untimed diagnostic test to see what kind of logic foundation you have and then working through 7sage's curriculum. I think the amount of time a day studying will vary person to person, but what matters is quality over quantity- as in better to have had a very productive 30 minute study session rather than committing to four hours without a goal. Good luck!
The exam is done on LawHub, which you should have access to if you have a 7sage subscription. The practice tests on there are exactly the same as the exam! 7sage's practice test format is pretty much exactly the same, but if it matters to you, you can pop over there and do some PTs to familiarize yourself
i think a wrong answer journal would help you so much!!! reviewing each incorrect answer thoroughly and writing down why you chose the incorrect answer and why the correct AC is correct, and then noticing patterns in those notes will show you what to work on! i can expand more if needed
hi! what do your study sessions look like? do you keep a wrong answer journal?
Could it be the inverse? That RC is just longer/different LR? I see RC as a bunch of MBT questions lol
Me! I'm graduating in Apr of this year but applying next cycle. We got this
hi! i would think given how strong the rest of your application is, not retaking might be doing yourself a disservice. skipping a cycle is uncomfortable but given that you have the potential to land the 173+ it might end up working out in the end. jan scores release at the end of the month as well so it's reasonable to worry about scholarships running out before then. good luck!!!!
LOL i feel you! what's helping for me is forgetting time and just focusing on accuracy (although i'm still quite slow my numbers are trending upwards so we ball)
no prob best of luck!!
