send me a note. I am hitting it hard and could use a buddy!

I took a diagnostic a few weeks ago but haven’t taken any full PTs since then. Right now, I’m only partially through the curriculum, I’ve made some progress in the Logical Reasoning section but haven’t touched Reading Comp yet.

I’m tempted to start taking full-length practice tests to begin building endurance and test-day skills, but I’m also worried it might be too early. I don’t want to waste time on PTs if I’d be better off continuing through the lessons first.

When should I start taking full PTs?

I'd love to swap all three. DM me if you're interested!

Anyone else get messed up by this when they PT'd this test? I got owned pretty bad. Watched the video that J.y. put up though

Hey all,

I'll dive right into it - I am struggling with something called an inadvertent memory recall (made the name up) when re-doing practice tests. I don't know if this is a real "science" thing or if someone in the community mentioned this already (searched after doing some light research) but its something I'm struggling with. I have my own solutions posted below and extremely curious to hear what you're thoughts are to avoid this habit.

Here's an example, about 2-3 months ago I wrote PT 73 and recently re-took it. I noticed that I was inadvertently 'lax' when doing both LR sections, which at the time felt strange. While I was in 'lax mode' (which I try to avoid at all times) in the LR sections, however, I caught myself recalling bits of information I remembered up when I first took the exam! This is clearly a big no-no as it can lead to a highly inaccurate score, hinder my ability to get better and, worst of all, it may as well be a false indicator of genuine improvements. My last PT was a 168, but after taking PT 73 my score was 155! I practically went back to my 'old self' when I re-took this exam when, clearly, I improved.

My 2 solutions to this accident are as follows:

Purposefully give yourself tunnel vision and magnify into each word when reading the LR stim.

If a piece of 'old self' information creeps up on you while doing an LR question, quickly sling your ass back to reality (much like a rubber band) and restart at the top of the stim.

That's my 2 cents. Curious to hear other remedies or advice!

Hi there! I'm a full-time paralegal in the Alexandria area, and looking for a study buddy for a little bit of accountability. I'm almost finished with the CC, looking to start PTing soon, and was hoping someone may be looking for the same!

How much weight do softs have in the admission process?

Hey guys, I need help with my addendum. I know it should be short, but this is the most concise I was able to make it. There were two situations I wanted to address in my addendum that explains my gpa. I also wanted to explain the discrepancy in my actual gpa vs my lsac gpa. What do you guys think?

Addendum:

During my four years of college, I went through two experiences that negatively affected my academic performance. However, I was able to bounce back from these events and demonstrate my true academic ability in my final semesters.

During my first year at CUNY Queens College, I was running a small online business, and my main focus was to grow my business. At that time I had no plans to continue my education after college and due to that, I put in minimum effort into my academics. After that year, I started to discover my passion for activism and a career in law. Since then, I have taken my studies seriously, which reflects in my improvement after my first year.

In the spring semester of my junior year, I went through a mental low. It was the first time I had an issue with my mental health. I was considering taking that semester off because of my mental state, but I pushed through and did my best. Unfortunately, I received a 2.5 GPA and a D in a class. I asked my professor to give me an F instead, so I can retake the class and I earned a B. My school dropped the F from my GPA, but LSAC counted it in. This is the reason for the discrepancy between my college GPA, 3.25, and my LSAC GPA, 3.17. The spring semester of my junior year is not indicative of the dedication and ability I have towards academics. Later, I got the professional help I needed to overcome this obstacle in my life. Since then, I have demonstrated with my grades and strong work record that I have addressed these issues. I am excited to demonstrate this growth further in law school.

So my untimed scores are around 175/176. It takes me about 46 min to finish a section. However, on an times PT my score drops down to 163-165, anyone have tips on how to improve timing while maintaining accuracy?

I applied to all my schools by March 1st/4th but haven’t received a decision from several schools (they just say they’re completed/in review).

Should I contact their admissions office or does it look bad to ask them to look at my application?

Hi everyone I thought it would be cool to see if anyone on here is planning on attending MH this fall!

Is anyone else having issues with the audio in Safari? It was working fine until a few weeks ago. Its okay with the other browsers but I like Safari better because you don't have to wait for the video to load. Could it be something to do with having Ad Block or a missing codec or something?

Is it weird that I can easily breeze through more recent LSATs but for some reason I can't even draw a game board from pre LSAT 38 games. LR sections are togher for me too. Should

Anyone taking it there in a few days?

For those that chose to have your recommenders send a paper letter, how long did it take for it to show up in CAS?

My recommender sent the letter 3-4 weeks ago and it still hasn’t showed up.
