Waitlist is different from an offer of admission. Unless they ask you specifically to withdraw from all waitlists then you should be fine.

Reminder: BR Group starts this evening :)

If they offer, then you can read it and still say you waived the right to see it, even though they showed it to you (because it was unsolicited). You cannot ask to see it if you’re going to waive your rights. Generally you want to waive your rights because it gives more weight to the recommendation.

What's your GPA? Make sure that it is as high as possible and ensure studying for LSAT doesn't hinder that. GPAs are cemented after you graduate (and the LSAC doesn't factor in a Master's GPA). Schools definitely care about both numbers!

Hi everyone! An update has been posted above! All sessions will be held at 8:30pm ET.

For explanations, I tried to start by just answering the questions. Sometimes I couldn't quite explain my reasoning, which pointed back to either being rushed under timed conditions or not actually knowing what the question was asking.

Basic Example:

A) Correct

B) Circled this answer because it was my best guess and the wording is similar to the stimulus, but it doesn't actually affect the conclusion

C) This information is irrelevant

D) This weakens the argument

E) This explains a flaw in the argument but doesn't match what the stimulus is asking

As for the CC, I did self-study with the Powerscore Bibles my first time and I really wish I had started with 7sage. J.Y. does an excellent job of laying out the concepts of logic before doing a deeper dive into tackling the questions. I honestly would pause on PT-ing or at least keep it to once a week just to get a feel for the basics and see if any of them make things click better than before.

I also suggest this because Blind Reviewing started off taking forever. I should have started with sections and then worked up to full exams. But it takes less time the more often you do it! Give the first few lessons a run-through and then assess. If it feels redundant then feel free to skip ahead

Are you skipping questions? Something that dramatically helped me was skipping questions that I had no clue about and coming back to them at the end of the section. Same for LG. If the issue is timing, then skipping and returning may give you that extra bit of thinking time that you need.

When you BR LR, are you missing -8 before or after BR? When you come back to them, have you adequately identified the conclusion/premises in each stimulus? Part of doing LR well is knowing the connections between what the question stem is asking for and how the premises relate to the conclusions. For me, whenever I skipped a question and returned, identifying the conclusion and asking questions about support helped me remember what I was looking for and ignore extraneous information.

Lastly, I would highly suggest tutoring to identify issue areas. And I agree with @ in making sure that you are drilling question types to bring that accuracy up to timed sections.

@ the pep rally is the encouragement part! I think they had some special guests that shared their test-day strategies last time :)

@ thanks!!! I messaged you :)

if your laptop has a camera: I put my laptop in front of me and the test in front of the laptop, then angle the webcam to where all you can see is the test booklet. It may not clearly show the questions, but you have the questions in front of you so you can easily look back if you can't make them out.

Ask recommenders if you can reuse the letters and tweak the essays at the beginning at least so they don’t look identical, and review it to make sure it’s perfect.

Ask someone to review your essays to make sure there weren’t any glaring issues.

Actually, when this application season dies down a bit, ask the admissions committee if they can give feedback on how to strengthen the application. It may be more than an LSAT score.

Apply early!

Does anyone know which test will be administered as a make up test for those test centers that were closed? An undisclosed February test or the same November test?

There’s a thread around here that says it will be the same test

You would think any make up tests would be undisclosed. The Sabbath test on Monday was a different version from the Nov 17 test.

Yeah, I’d expect the same but apparently even the accommodation exam is the same exam.

Edit: apparently another poster stated the make up would be undisclosed.

This week: Created a schedule which basically consists of studying for each section type (LG, LR, and RC) each day, either a full section or drills, based on need. PT with a recent PT (a few from 60-70 and a few from 70-85) each week. Finish BR-ing PT86, watching the LG explanation videos and foolproofing, then get back to foolproofing PT #16-35. I may need to go back and review #1-15 since I likely haven't taken them enough times.

Next Week: AM practice sections daily and PT Sunday or Wednesday. I guess I will take a break for the day of Christmas :P

I need to confirm that I’m not crazy, but did anyone think one of the LR questions on passwords and security looks like a similar question from a previous PT? I had 3 LRs so I don’t know if it’s experimental or not

I thought the exact same thing. See PT 11.

I DEFINITELY saw a repeat LR question and I'm kinda mad that I can't remember it right now!!!

Typically they'll reschedule for a few weeks from now! Sorry that happened and hoping for the best!

This made my night!!! Thanks @.Y. (and Pacaque)

Congratulations!!!!!! :smiley: :heart:

Are we just starting a bit late?

Hey! Sorry for the delay, the PT86 webinar is still wrapping up and I am unable to start until it finishes. They'll likely be finishing up soon. Thanks for your patience!

Reminder: This review is this evening at 8:30 ET (after J.Y.’s review session ends!) ☺️

I’m interested!!!

Update has been posted! The next BR session is this Sunday, January 13th. We will review PT83.

If you’ll be joining J.Y. for his PT86 review, this takes place right after that. See you there!

@ We are still using the Google Doc for questions. The call can be anywhere from 2-4 hours. Last time we finished in 3.

From what section was the question removed? Fingers crossed for games...

The last question in RC (multiverse)

This may be a bit unconventional, but is it possible to retake in January and ask for reconsideration? (If you can bring it above a 160 that is) I read that someone did exactly that, same cycle, and the admissions committee reversed their decision and accepted them. Best case scenario they let you in, worst case you still have a year to reapply.

They already have your first deposit and you could always argue that the language doesn’t specify it. But an offer of admission is simply not the same as an offer to remain on the waitlist. In fact that’s not really an offer at all, it’s a way to see if you have continued interest in the school in case spots open up. I actually don’t know if any school expects you to remove yourself from waitlists. The only thing to lose is that deposit. If you’re worried still then just call and ask!
