Applications!

Is anyone applying to a law school that allows you to add an optional essay in regards to certain fellowships they may offer? (Aka financial aid)

If so... Do you have any advice as to what to include in the essay? I'm not generally interested in the fellowship, but I am interested in the financial help.... At a crossroads!

Example of "fellowships" - working at the law library, special education advocacy clinic, public service admissions ambassadors etc.

Thanks for the help friends!

Pritisharma,

Have you watched the 7sage video Jy has on how to BR? You should be circling the questions you are unsure about as you're taking the test and have a clean copy of the test to revisit those specific questions.

What I have found that has brought my score up about 20 points is when I BR for LR even if in my mind I can quickly brush over and know why an answer choice is wrong I still write out an explanation for each answer choice. By doing this you subconsciously get accustomed to what the questions are looking for and trains you to always be on the look out for those trap answer choices. When you actually miss question in LR I find it best to first identify what type of question type it is, and identify the components of the argument (premise/conclusion/principle) and then follow through with explanations for each answer choice.

As far as games I completely redo the game and if I still miss questions after BR I watch the video and print out about 5 clean copies of the game and PRACTICE until I don't get any wrong.

Reading comprehension may be the hardest (for me) to BR but usually I take apart every paragraph, identify the main points in each and then revisit the questions.

Hope this was helpful! Best of luck!

Reading Comprehension crushing my soul

If anyone has any advice on how to better focus myself or tips on what to look for when approaching a reading passage please share! I'm finally in the 160 range after starting at a 142 and I'm still missing 10 to 12 on reading... It's KILLING my score! Any tips help!

Side Note: I've already read the LSAT trainer section on reading and I'm still not showing any improvement. I've also done the 7sage course and read Supreme Court decisions regularly.

If anyone has PT.68 as a PDF and wouldn't mind emailing it to me it would be greatly appreciated! I ordered it and it has yet to come. I would really like to be apart of the call tomorrow. Thanks!

[Admin edit: Please do not ask for copies of people's PDFs. This is against LSAC's TOS and our TOS & forum rules:]

This was amazing! Thank you, I see it completely now definitely need to keep in mind the concept of time in the stimulus @rockytoral714.jason35

This question went completely over my head and I still don't understand why the correct answer is (C) for all the tea in China. If someone could please explain this question it would be greatly appreciated!

Perhaps some insight to these questions in general. These use to be my best question types until I hit PTs in the 70s...

Thanks!

Job prospects for graduates with chemistry degrees are better than ever, yet ***

Hi everyone! If anyone has some better insight as to why (E) is the correct answer I would greatly appreciate it! I see why (E) would be the right answer but I also believe (C) could be a correct answer. The only issue with (C) that I do see is possibly the word "many" but that's about it.

I recognize the phenomenon begging for the explanation would be the fact that even though the number of students who enter as chemistry majors and the job prospects but number of people earning chemistry degrees has declined.

Thanks again!
