I would use standard APA format. Schools will be able to tell if you stretch the margins. My guess is that the system actually standardizes everything after you upload the documents. Either way, just try to shorten it a little. Use conjunctions, cut out some adjectives, etc. This is not a test of your descriptive writing.

Oh, and you need to give them your LSAC number.

Hey! So after you log in, scroll down to "Credential Assembly Service (CAS)". Click "Manage Letters of Recommendation", then "Add/Edit My Recommenders". You will need to ask your recommender for some personal information (name, address, phone number, email), and fill that in. LSAC will send an email to your recommender, asking him/her to finish up the process. Once the LSAC receives your letter, you will be able to assign the LOR to each school you want to send it to. So if you have a specific LOR you want sent to a school, you can do that. Also, some schools may only want 2 LORs, but you can have 3 ready to go for the schools who will take 3. The process is actually pretty easy, it just takes some figuring out.

@ right, but they can say that you're asking for too much.

10 points is easily 15 questions. If you're currently in the 140s or low 150s, this seems much more doable in two months than if you're already at 155+. It's going to be a rough ride, but make sure you take at least one full day off a week. Nothing is worth burning out. Anyway, BRing is not the only thing to do in between PTs. You should take the information about your score that you gained while BRing, and make a plan from there. For example, did you get every strengthening question wrong? Did you skip a certain problem type multiple times, but find that it was easy when you did your BR? This information is important, and it can help you determine how you should study in between PTs. Since it's so close to November, you're probably going to find it difficult to find a tutor. However, I have a group message going with 10 people who like to study/Skype together. I'd be happy to add you if you want to get in on that.

@ I'm sure they'd give you an accommodation. I'm not sure what type of accommodation that would be, but I would look online and see what people have asked for. Alternatively, talk to your neurologist and see if he/she has any ideas.

@ Assuming they have deemed the diagnosis/documentation as acceptable, the issue is not whether or not they have to accommodate you; the issue is whether or not you are asking for "reasonable accommodations". They don't have to give you something just because you have a disability and you ask for it.

This is the ADA's recommendation to LSAC:

"Pain-Related Conditions and Chronic Medical Disorders (e.g., diabetes, seizures, fibromyalgia, gastrointestinal disorders, arthritis, back disorders which prevent sitting or standing for long periods). For those individuals with documentation of substantial medical issues that prevent them from focusing on the test for continuous periods of time (for example, an individual with Crohn’s Disease may need unscheduled bathroom breaks) such individuals may request the use of stop-the-clock breaks during the testing period in which they request that time be stopped and restarted when they are able to proceed. One minute shall be added to the overall time for each such break to account for the disruptive effects of such breaks. If the disorder also results in cognitive impairment, such as changes to memory or attention when the individual is not having acute issues, the individual shall also be considered for 50% additional time. Candidates requesting more than 50% time must have documentation for time above this amount, as provided in Issue 5, Part II, Standards for Determining More Than Fifty Percent Extra Time, but may not use the impact of such factors as going to the bathroom which is already covered by the time-stopping procedure. These individuals may also request permission to use special chairs or devices. LSAC shall grant these types of requests on a routine basis."

"It is the Panel’s opinion that 50% additional time is a reasonable amount of additional time in most cases. However, some individuals have exceptional needs that justify the request for a testing accommodation of more than 50% additional time. In such situations, the qualified professional should provide a rationale based on history and objective evidence for the request for more than 50% extra time. The rationale must be reasonable and understandable to the reviewer(s) with appropriate expertise."

You're right; the link is down. I tried looking for other websites with the same information, but I can't find it anywhere else.

Try underlining, circling, etc. It forces you to pay attention. It's not a long-term strategy, but it should help you for now until you get used to the process.

It's really, really normal to not do your best on your first PT after the CC. I cried after my first CC. My guess is that if you took another PT, you'd do better just because it's not your first try. However, I wouldn't suggest burning through PTs. Also, PTing post-CC is not the final stage of your studying. Now is the time to look at patterns of weaknesses in your PT and drill those. Drill a few concepts, then PT again. Keep up with this process and stay active in the discussion forum. Make sure you are doing thorough blind reviews, too.

@ that's not true. The statistics have been published publicly.

10/10 would not recommend. It's not a fun way to start out the day, and it's not a good idea to take one after a full day of work. I always feel bad about myself when I do badly on a PT, and I'm much more likely to do badly when I'm exhausted. I would do timed sections, though. You can PT on Saturday or Sunday, then work on BRing it.

Yes. Also, there is the slightly more advanced concept of recognizing additional rules (when applicable). For example, you may figure out that if you plug in B somewhere, you have to pair it with C. I think you should do that if you can. But if you don't recognize anything, don't worry about it. So when I finish writing out all of my rules, I spend about 20 seconds just thinking about them. If I don't recognize anything in double-digit seconds, I'm not going to figure out anything before I get into the first few questions.

Hi! Trying to protect copyrighted information as much as possible... Important stimulus information: providing consumers with fairly priced things is a consistent aspect of sales in large businesses. While that is happening, there are still times when people view those businesses as not being socially responsible.

To break down AC E: being socially responsible cannot solely be determined by fair prices. If it were, the large businesses would always be socially responsible. Does that make sense?

Hi! I have been through this process. First, it is extraordinarily difficult to get 100% extra time. I would not count on that, nor would I want it. It requires an incredible amount of stamina to take a 7-hour test (plus the beginning bubble filling/instructional time and a 15ish min break). You would have to request an additional accommodation for extra breaks. To answer your other question, if you get denied for 100% extra time, they do not consider you for 50% extra time. You would have to get all new documentation asking for 50% extra time and submit that. By the time that all rolls around, you may have to delay your exam to the next one. If you want to talk details or hear about my experience, feel free to send me a message!

So if you put all of the scores on a line in order, the median is the middle number. For example: the median of numbers 1, 2, 5, 6, 7 is 5. However, average (mean) score is 4.2. To echo @, it can be misleading based on the number of outliers. Also, if you have the medians, or even averages, that doesn't necessarily give you a 50% chance of getting in. There are soft factors to think about, as well as the acceptance rate.

I really buckled down on LG while I was learning it. I spent probably 40 hours fool-proofing right after, too. I did nothing else in that time. I'm going to come back to it again before the March test.

I think you'd really have to show that you identified a need, and that the gym was created to be a resource for everyone. However, I'm not really sure how you'd turn that into a PS. I would purchase the admissions course for $10 and watch those videos. They can help you way more than I can.

I just like tagging @ in these questions so I don't have to pretend to know anything about admissions.

If you can waive your right, do it. It definitely matters.

I'm kind of in the same position as you, where I've gone -4 LR section 1 and -7 LR section 2 on my last two PTs, and -4/-8 the time before. I have actually put a pause on PTing so that I can tackle the core issues here. I'm working on nailing specific question types, which is going to be more impactful than taking PTs over and over. If I can get one question type down, and that happens to get me another question or two right consistently, why not do that? Did you purchase a 7Sage course? You can use the Analytics page to see where your opportunities are.

@ I don't think that your PS or resume has to be show to your path to becoming an attorney. If you can make your reason into a PS, that's great and is a solid time-saver for when schools require essays about that. But if you can make a bomb PS out of something else, why not?

What was the purpose of the gym? Was it for your personal use or communal use? How did it affect you and others?

If you don't mind sharing, how are you scoring in each section? Or what are the discrepancies like? If you're going -10 in RC and -5 in the other sections, it's clear where your focus needs to be. If you're -10 in RC and -8 in the other sections, studying LR could potentially be more valuable right now. It's hard to give a good suggestion without more details. Feel free to send me a message if you don't want to disclose numbers publicly. As for timing on RC, try to view the task as reading for a basic understanding, not a detailed understanding. Don't be afraid that you're going to skim over something too quickly and "mess up". Anything super important will be elaborated on, and the text doesn't disappear once you've read it. :)
