@selenesteelman792 thanks for the feedback! Sorry for the delayed response. I just worked on updating my resume though and definitely feel it shows I have been actively engaged over the past 9 years (undergrad and since graduating from undergrad)!

@prishs97468 absolutely! Between work and studying I feel like I'm doing these things Non-Stop. Sometimes you just need to listen to Hamilton to brighten the mood a bit. That's why I'm constantly playing it (and why I've seen it in person twice)!

Lack of Extracurriculars

I was pretty involved in extracurriculars while in undergrad (SGA, Alpha Mu Gamma, Honors Program, various volunteer opportunities) but have been out of undergrad for about 5 years. I've been in the military since finishing undergrad and have had little free time. The little bit of time I have had was spent pursuing my MA and studying for the LSAT. Should I include my extracurriculars from undergrad on my resume? Will the lack of extracurriculars in recent years hurt me? If so, is there anything I can do to limit that impact? Thanks for the help!

I am not quite willing to say I have broken this plateau but I am in the process of breaking it (170 and 171 on my past two PTs). For me, I have been reviewing my missed questions as well as questions that have taken me a significant amount of time to answer. The bulk of my missed questions have been in RC (average of -6 for my last 5 tests). I have started focusing more on knowing when to skip questions for RC and LR. I've essentially made better use of my time by doing the questions I know I can answer relatively quickly versus the ones that are going to take me a little while even if I know I will get it right. For example, in LR I may skip a parallel reasoning question (not necessarily because it is difficult but because it may be time consuming). Adjusting to this format ensures I have max time for the harder (or more time intensive) questions while not sacrificing time on the easier questions.

I'm EST but and am interested. I'm also interested if anyone wants to focus on RC because that is what I need the most work on!
