I was at that point and for me, skimming through Loophole and doing a crapton of drills on my most difficult LR question types helped a lot

I've heard several times that adcomms don't like it if you retake low 170s because they think it shows lack of good judgment or something but I'd say that given last year's cycle it would be ok to retake. That being said, are you sure that you can get at least 170 next time? If the answer is no, then maybe it's good not to take it. What do your last few PTs look like?

For me, I got 171 in Aug but felt pretty confident that I could do better because my PTs were higher. I took it on Oct. and got 176. Good luck!! Rooting for you :)

Cool, that's all i needed thanks guys

oops please ignore this

resolve questions are usually pretty simple for me and i was wigged out by how many AC's I couldn't bring myself to eliminate on this one. got the right answer at the end, but it gave me a minor freakout

so clutch omg youre amazing

Thought it was E because he would've presupposed the conclusion in order to say that "this cannot be dismissed as mere coincidence"

But I guess I forgot that I shouldn't really question premises unless it's saying the same thing as the conclusion.

😡angry face @ lsat writers for including the premise when we've all been taught that MP questions never include the premise

Nevertheless I should've gotten this right bc E's the best answer, but the premise thing still shook me

Is it wrong to assume that if they publish it, they already gave it serious attention lol

America.

I can see why B would be the best answer here, but what if the program producers' ad grossly misrepresented the program but less so than the TV network's ad? wouldn't this still make the arg. valid that it would be more effective ?

i got this right but goddamn why is this stimulus so long when i could've just read the last sentence 🧍‍♀️

i literally had no idea what the beginning of the stim was saying bc my eyes glazed over and i was running out of time but it was fine just reading the last sentence lmfao

I was like haha who would spend 200,000 dollars to go to a handwriting doctoral program and then remembered how much I'm paying for undergrad :')

I honestly just did all the Misc games, I think it would help with training thinking up a gameboard for games you're not used to

It's really mind boggling how hit or miss (and usually seems like miss, hearing from everyone's stories, though that might just be bias from the types of posts I see pop up on disc. forums often) that these customer service reps are, especially considering how important all this is for your future. Hope everything works out in your favor!

Lmao reading the comments looks like nobody could do that impossible sec. guard one

I was ecstatic to have 2 LGs bc 2 RCs wouldve been my biggest nightmare but i literally couldnt finish the section with the security guards and LG is usually -0/-1 for me. :| i hope that's the experimental bc... whew lol

Idk if I'm experiencing memory loss but none of these LR questions yall are talking about ring a bell and I had 1 LR section. Honestly it's probably because I didn't want to think/dwell on the exam too much and I forgot a lot of it already. All I remember is that I had like 3 or 4 disagree type questions which weirded me out because I don't think I ever had that many questions of that type in one section in any of my practice exams

Edit: I think I remember one. It was like buildings in a city or something and I think it was a disagree type

I had LR-LG-RC-LR yesterday. As long as I can remember, I had one reading material about 2 chemicals with similar names, and the comparative reading's keyword was "paranormal". Hope this helps.

And for LR, has anyone who had only one LR remember anything about it? Or has anyone who had only one LR who remember a stimulus with 2 university receiving governmental subsidies (accounting for 1/2 and 1/4 respectively of their total subsidies)?

Thanks a lot!

Had 1 LR and do not remember gov subsidies

I had a bite or two out of like 3 snacks that i couldn't pick between, drank water, used the restroom and paced back and forth til the timer stopped lol

The pacing SOUNDS bad and anxiety ridden but i think it helped me get my nerves out and helped me stay grounded and calmed me down

I wish that this argument specifically wrote out that more potassium consumption = increases in ability to help prevent malign effects

better or worse than august ?

I also eliminated C but bc it said that the participants were already highly motivated and the conclusion in the stim states that watching the recording of yourself motivates you to exercise more. But what if they're already motivated at the max level like super super motivated people who will exercise til they drop? (pls don't do this :P ) idk if this was good reasoning though

ugh i put D bc I assumed that the answer choice was talking about car accidents after the schedule change was implemented

I think if you got credit for something you have in writing was for graduate level work, you can typically submit that to your point-of-contact at the school you hope to attend. They will be able to let you know if it will count and save you any of your hard earned cash/credit score. At the end of the day relying solely on financial assistance always seems to come with a catch: high interest rates, if you die your kids inherit the debt from your estate, oh and the number of scams, and it literally just never goes away. Grants count as income and loans are typically awful, but unavoidable if you're like a huge percentage.

Honestly, depending on what your undergrad is in, working at a substance abuse treatment center (as long as you're not abusing substances) is a great job to have while in school. That's what I did. I was able to work third shift, study overnight and get as much schoolwork done as possible, sleep for a little bit at home, and then get up at 3 PM for my day. It's not something I would ever recommend in the long run, but it worked for me.

I just finished my MSc in CS, and plan to specialize, consult, and be an expert witness for law firms where they lack in understanding what should be the modern IT-centric RICO act. I would have never found my love for IT Security if it weren't for those long nights studying my formal logic and computer science books. Took LSAT in 2017ish - 170. At this point a law degree will only put me into debt, and put me behind due to the curriculum at every law school not having that specific discipline as a specialty.

Anyways, I hope this helps! For the record, your question wasn't confusing. It appears you want to find the best way to manage your time and not waste money :) Anyone who cannot relate to that needs to comment and let us know the secret sauce. You could always moonlight as a PI. It's a lot of fun! Some states require no formal education for it! Eating donuts, drinking coffee, listening to jazz, and studying .. oh and periodically checking on your tasks, scope, ROE, etc. .. what could be better?

Thanks for your input! I guess by financial assistance, what I meant was either scholarships or an easy way to finance my graduate program. My undergrad, thankfully, gave quite a lot of need based scholarship, but everyone who participates in the masters program has to pay sticker. Some majors have it easier and have lots of opportunities such as being a paid research assistant or a TA for an undergrad course to pay for a good chunk of the tuition, but my program didn't really have those options.

I'm guessing you aren't an admissions consultant or an admissions officer, but do you think that this decision I made would be viewed upon negatively? Something like "oh, they make rash decisions and back out of them easily" hahahah I sure hope not. I really wanted to go through with that program but phew.. the money..
