No. A GPA addendum is for if you have an especially low GPA that needs to be explained. 3.8 is not especially low under any circumstances. Put your energy into good essays.

At least for me, the main issue with taking one last PT too close to the exam is that if you don't score what you want, it's difficult to shake that negativity completely before the exam. If you don't do well like a week and a half before, you can recover. But if you don't score well like 2 days before the real deal, that's a little harder to recover from.

You're better off drilling timed sections in order to be warmed up in my opinion.

I'm no admissions expert, but here are my thoughts on this:

If it's a school where your LSAT score is higher than their 75th percentile, then they want you to apply because if you matriculate to that school, you'll boost their LSAT stats which could help boost that school's ranking.

If it's a school where your LSAT score is at median or lower, then you have some other factor that they believe will contribute to the greater community at their school OR they're looking boost the perception of their selectivity by having more applicants that they don't take.

Either way, you're not guaranteed admissions just because you receive one of these messages. So don't use recruitment emails as the basis for where you apply.

I forgot to have a conversation with my proctor about interruptions this time and had zero problems. Practice the things you can control such as staying in the camera frame the whole time to minimize the chance of interruption.

Did anyone else who had the 2 LG sections feel like one was insanely difficult and one was super easy? I ran out of time and ended up bubbling in at random on the difficult one which almost never happens to me. The super easy LG had a simple sequencing question and some mixed grouping. Hopefully the hard LG was experimental? LR and RC were much easier than usual.

I had a 2 LG sections like that as well and reacted to them the same way you did... praying the harder was experiemental

I had 1 LG that I found super easy. The games were about experienced employees and managers, 6 classes, parade floats, and buying books

@ said:

2 RC for me, one being very easy and the other super difficult... Easier section had a passage about Outkast. Anyone with 1 RC remember this?

Only 1 RC for me. No Outkast passage

@ said:

There were two LRs and the 1st LR with 26 questions had a question about London California dialect language question. This section was the hardest LR section ever period… Did anyone else experience this set?

I had 2 LRs as well but no memory of this question

Just finished! Guess I was the one delaying general discussion haha

I had RC-LR-LR-LG: felt equally meh about both LRs but I feel good about RC and definitely obliterated LG

Sometimes you put in the work and still fall a bit short. That's not the end of the world. Just remember that being below median doesn't automatically kill your chances. If you can tell an awesome story, your personal statement and other essays can make up for your slightly lower score.

I'm struggling to visualize what kind of cheating would even be helpful for this kind of exam. Unless you had a smart friend who could also see your screen answering the end questions for you while you worked from number 1?

But even if cheating happens, what good does it do for you to speculate about it?

Are you applying this year? If so, work on your Personal Statements?

Really you just need to be preoccupied with something else. If there's a Netflix show or something you couldn't watch because you were too busy studying, watch it. Whatever hobby you weren't doing because of studying, do it!

Just because you haven't gotten to it in the curriculum doesn't mean skip blind review. You should BR because even if you didn't get to it in the timed exam, you still need to practice the material. You can always go back and do the section again after you actually learn it in the curriculum. But you're doing a disservice to yourself if you skip BR and just look at the answers.

It depends on how the test is curved. PT91 is deemed an "easier" test, therefore it has a stricter curve. 92 is deemed a harder test, so you can miss more and still get a similar score.

For the love of God don't PT on Wednesday. At this point, it's all about execution. You can't execute well if you use up all your energy in practice. Breaks are just as important as putting in the work. You need to recharge before the real deal. In my experience, it made a huge difference.

My first LSAT, I did too much before the test, and I felt really heavy and crummy throughout the test. I feel like I was lucky to score around my average that day. My 2nd time, I did next to nothing right before the test and almost matched my best PT score despite the fact that my last 2 PTs before the test were subpar.

You might be a little burned out/ stressed. My advice is do the bare minimum when it comes to studying/review. I didn't do so great on my PTs leading up to the exam but scored 6 points higher than my average on the real test. I was especially burned out on LR so I didn't look at LR at all and only did some light LG and RC problem sets in the week before my test

Make sure your setup is fully prepared and that you have a backup plan ready in case something happens to your connection.

Practice staying situated in front of the camera properly so that the proctor doesn't interrupt you for going off camera.

Basically, do anything you can to eliminate as much potential stress as possible.

Most importantly, just trust your abilities and your preparation.

Also, you'll be more hydrated by drinking plenty of water the day before the exam. Keep your plastic bottle ready, but be sure to hydrate leading up to the exam!

loooooooool let's gooooooooo

You're not looking to outright contradict either the premise or conclusion. So if the premise says, "kids spend too much time on their phone" an option saying that "kids don't spend too much time on their phones" is, in most cases, not the correct answer.

What you're trying to do is make the premise and conclusion relationship less relevant. For example, if your argument is "Cats are better than dogs because dogs are loud," the correct answer probably won't be "Dogs aren't loud." Rather, it might read something like "Cats are at least as loud as dogs"

I' m actually very conflicted because the real competitor in me is getting a 170+

My heart, however, wants a 169 just so I can sit back and go "nice" when I see my score

I think the focus is just off-center enough to make B wrong. To me, the focus of the article is more about computer chip size, and B is centered on speed and efficiency.

One thing to note re 91&92, when taking on law hub, you can’t BR, it just gives you your results, so keep that in mind as they can mess up your review.

If you take the exam on self-paced mode instead of exam mode and pause sections after 35 minutes instead of completing, you can go back and blind review

It's common for people to drop off in the 80s PTs because the language in LR changes a bit. If you review your tests really well, you'll get used to it

Also, not sure about PT 92, but PT 90 is the May 2020 PT with an added section, so if nothing else, the explanations for 3/4 sections are already available on 7sage.

This is a very good idea, though I would argue for skipping the passage with the least amount of questions instead of definitely the comparative. You could still employ some of the same strategies you mention for skipping the comparative in skipping any passage. Answer the same option for every question, then go back for detail oriented questions if you have time.
