A good method of filtering is asking them how long it took them to get to their desired score. If the time is quite short (e.g. 2 months for a 175+) that might suggest that they will not be good tutors. The reason is that a person who is a natural t…

My 2 cents on whether extended time is unfair or not: I think it is fair since, as stated above, it would be otherwise discriminating towards people who have been diagnosed with AD(H)D. Provided that time extension is calibrated based on individual…

If you are PT'ing in the 165/166 range, and have only "recently" started to use 7sage, I think it is better to stick with 7sage for a while and rigorously blind review your PT's using the video explanations. 7sage probably contains the most exhaust…

I also had the same problem at the beginning of my studies, and I think a lot of students struggle in exactly that manner, no matter whether they have ADD or not. The root-cause of this problem is that LSAT passages are constructed for precisely th…

The most important question is: what is your score goal? In case it is 170+ and you‘re not remotely there yet, I would honestly postpone the exam and take it more slowly and strategically if I were you. Cramming all the information in 2 months is n…

Sorry, did I understand correctly that you get 18-19/25-26 in LR untimed? If so, that means you get 6-8 wrong in LR untimed. That indicates that there are some things you have to work on with regards to your fundamentals. Therefore, I would for now…

I asked HLS admissions office via email and can confirm that this is a lifetime limit. I also asked Yale, Stanford, Columbia and Chicago, none of them have a cap in number of applications.

I always read the question stem first. I believe it really does me a favor in terms of time management. For example, if I see a question of the type „identify the conclusion“, „identify the role of sentence XY“, „parallel reasoning/flaw“ etc., I try…

How did you find the international LSAT?

How did you manage to read 15 books in parallel with studying for LSAT, having a kid & a parallel job? Personally I'm not sure if I've read this number of books in my whole life...

Same here: took 5 months off to devote to full-time LSAT studying, PT'ed 173 on average and ended up with a 165 in October. Studied part-time until January, improved my PT scores and time management, even got a 180 in my third-last PT ... and a disa…

I did the same thing, except though that I accepted an offer from another employer and postponed my start by 5 months to dedicate to LSAT and MBA application essays.

Thanks all for your responses! I decided in the meantime not to apply for this cycle, figure out my test day performance issues evtl. with the help of a tutor, retake the LSAT and apply next cycle. Take care!

Many thanks for your response, really appreciated! @canihazJD said: I would like to ask whether it makes sense now to apply to the Law Schools I planned to (these are Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Columbia, University of Chicago - no other …

Anyone?

The only way to be appropriately weaponed for this is to simulate your PTs under conditions as close as possible to the real exam. At least I can tell from my experience that the anxiety will always be higher during the real exam, as there will alw…

Not only during LG: it is up to you how you use those 5 sheets throughout the whole exam.

I don‘t think that Law Schools have access to materials of past undergrad applications. The question would rather be if you feel confident that the personal statements of your undergrad applications fit for the purpose of the diversity statements. …

To international test takers, out of curiosity: how did you find the January exam?
-
It depends on the score you want. To give you some perspective: I delayed the start date of my new job by 5 months in order to study full-time (= 8+ hours a day, incl. weekends, with a few breaks in-between) for LSAT, aiming for a 175+. October LS…
-
Apply! There is no downside on it! A 170+ always makes you a competitive candidate. Even if you get rejected, you can still take the June LSAT and re-apply in September with a better score.

I am not an admissions committee member, so please take whatever I write with a grain of salt: Based on my understanding, the question should not be whether it will be "too much" for the admissions committee, but whether it serves the purpose of a …

Two years ago, in the year 2019 A.D., I had to fax (!!!!!!!!!!!) them in order to change my test location. Probably since then they discovered a groundbreaking technology called "Email", and were so amazed by it that they decided to undergo a full …

As someone who has been practicing for over 6 months and still needs to overcome this problem from time to time, I fully agree! I think the reason why many of us freak out is our ego: the feeling of being outsmarted by an LSAT question really sucks…

Let's pray for that, please!

Benefit of even 1 point increase > cost of later application --> re-take if you are convinced that you can do better.
