By T3/4 do you mean top 3 or 4 schools or tier 3/4 schools?

I had the same issue early on. I eased myself into the whole timing aspect of the LSAT. I would do 5 LR questions timed, then when I was comfortable I started doing 10... and so on. You coul also increase/decrease your time depending on how quickly you would like to finish the section.

I think the starter option is a great way to begin the LSAT process. You're getting the core curriculum which, I think, is invaluable. Feel free to message me if you have any questions.

I subvocalize but do not see a difference in timing and find that it actually increases my comprehension of the passage. I do have to be careful though, because it can be distracting for others.

I think you can do both, take PTs and drill. You won't be taking PTs everyday. Maybe 1-2 full PTs, spend every other day BRing and drilling.

Have you thought about building up to a practice test? You stated you can get through a section. Maybe you could try getting through two sections and then build up to five.

I had the same problem.

I visited WUSTL earlier this year. Admissions mentioned that ED is more competitive because of their scholarship. I think WUSTL is a pretty generous school and ED might not be necessary, depending on your stats.

Since you mention libraries, have you looked at Cooley? Vastly superior to Harvard.

The short answer: it depends on your goals. Try using ABA 509 reports and LST for specific employment outcomes.

Yes, most schools take the highest score but you should not take the LSAT until you are ready. Shoot for a score, not a date.

I believe you can apply to both. If I remember correctly, once you start the application, you can pick between full time, part time, or both. When I visited GULC, the Dean emphasized selecting the one you'd actually like to attend, as opposed to picking an option you think would improve your chances.

You should repeat a game if you missed a question or exceeded the time limit set by JY. I usually give myself a week or two after watching the video to attempt a game again. I also have a master list of games that I had issues with.

Have you tried the fool proof method? Improving your LG score would get you those extra couple of points.

I'm at Starbucks right now and it's fine. I'm also using Safari. It might depend the wifi traffic and the number of people using the connection.

@ said:

What if Kaplan is the key to a 180, and the rumours that it sucks were started by top scorers...

Plot twist.

I was in a Kaplan class in late November 2016. I had already read some LSAT forums and knew it would be a long journey but I really thought I needed in person instruction to accomplish again. My Kaplan instructor said I could take the exam in February 2017 and do "fine" (lol). Flash forward to now, my highest PT is 21 points above my diagnostic. My average is 18 points above my diagnostic. If I had followed Kaplan's plan, I would've taken 5 PTs max. I would not have known about the foolproof method or the blind review method. Plus, Kaplan's method is incredibly convoluted and inconsistent. With 7sage, I feel as if my understanding of logic is stronger.

I think (and this is all speculation) Kaplan's method is meant to get those scoring in the 140s into the 150s. If that's your goal, then sign up for a Kaplan course. But if you're in it for the long haul and really want to be one of the top scorers on this test, then pick 7sage.

I certainly hope not. I had to take a few courses as P/F. They were required and only offered as P/F.

D is incorrect because Sims is refusing to respond to the argument. Instead of arguing against the legitimacy of Rotelle's argument, Sims is just quipping back about Rotelle's age. E describes this issue perfectly.

As someone with a cumulative 2.7gpa I am seriously weakened when applying to law schools.

Maintain your GPA, that is your one and only concern for the first two years of college!

This. Also, maybe take a basic logic course in college.

What PTs should I take?

After the CC, I have worked through PTs 1-4. I'm planning on taking the test in September but I can push it back if need be. My scores are 162, 160, 162 and 169. I wouldn't put too much emphasis on the 169. Before 7sage, I was working through Kaplan and so I might have burned some of the PT 60s (I was doing individual sections as opposed to full length tests). My diagnostic at the very beginning (back in November) was 148 so I have had significant improvement already. I'm also worried that I have peaked in terms of improvement.

Should I start taking PTs 20+? Is it worth it to go that far back? I know that the level of difficulty tends to change. September is getting closer and closer so I know it would be difficult to go through all 80 preptests. Plus, I would like to save PTs just in case I don't get the score I want on the first try.

Cool man, how about you read that little thesis he posted and tell me you don't consider (15 times) to be very insulting?

You're both being ridiculously combative.

What can I say, baseless personal attacks are not something I tolerate in any way shape or form.

You made a new post just to attack some guy on the internet.
