I wrote down what I wanted to do as a lawyer, and my personal goals for the future. It helped me see the LSAT as one of many tests (law school exams, the bar, being in trial), rather than a singular "make or break" moment.
-
If you aren't prepared, don't take it. Are you really going to postpone law school for five years just to retake the LSAT? Spare yourself the turmoil, and plan for this test to be your last. You could email LSAC and ask for another take if somethin…

If the only thing you have done in 5 months is 24 hours of 7sage curriculum, the result makes sense. 24 hours over five months works out to roughly one hour per week! Most people study 1-4 hours per day, or 7-28 hours per week. Additionally, coveri…

If the technical issues are on your end, you can request a hotel room from LSAC, or one of their tablets. What is the average of your last 5 PTs?
-
Yes - you can tell them not to review your application until you get your LSAT score. Many schools will do this automatically.
-
A 176 on the LSAT puts you above the medians at Harvard, Yale, and Stanford. That's literally all you need as far as test scores go. Does your mother know this?
-
Is it reasonable to ask for a refund on the test or the score be cancelled? You can cancel your score up until the 24th (tomorrow). Just go to your LSAT page on the LSAC website and click "cancel". However, if I were you, I would ask for a ret…

See that's the thing, I feel like I've seen so many different responses. I've seen people say to submit ASAP and others say that a later application with a higher LSAT is better than getting in it early. That's why I'm so conflicted!!!! It take…

If you really feel like it's a big deal, write an addendum about it. Probably don't. This is so minor it would look bad for you to even bring it up. The median GPA at Yale is a 3.92, so it's not like they will reject you for a single "B".
-
No. Don't do this, or be sure to be very quiet about it. Every proctor is different, but why take a chance?
-
If you can narrow the answers down to two and one has “probably” (or similar wording like “most likely”), while the other doesn’t, the “probably” is correct. If there is no “probably”, but every other answer choice is definitely wrong, then that an…

What do you mean by loosen your scale? There are a certain number of questions you can miss and still get a 170, usually ranging from -7 to -10 for the digital version. A looser scale means you can miss more questions and still get a high scor…

Prephrasing. After you read the question and identify the type and conclusion, prephrase the answers. It's counterintuitive, but it makes you faster because it saves you reading time.
-
Focus on your weakest question types. I thought I was just "making silly mistakes", but for some reason focusing on question types is the thing that raised my score 10+ points. I also second what gabes900 said about sticking with a process. Before …

Precede means come before. "Proceed" is like "you may continue", "you may go forward". The root of precede is"pre", which means before. pregame (like in college, drinking before a party) preschool prepare pre-electric

Take 1 to 2 PTs per week. Don't take any tests you've taken recently - only use older exams. Keep the lower PTs (1-30) just for drills. Focus on your weaknesses. Identify them with the analytics section and keep a record of the tricks you use to ge…
-
Yes. Reading Comp = Critical Reading.
-
This is what I did and I basically think it’s the entire reason behind my 10+ point improvement: I took my five worst question types from each section and created problem sets based on them. Let’s say analytics told me my worst LR were MBT, MBF, P…
-
On the LSAT if “or” is exclusive they will say “A or B but not both”. If they don’t say that it’s exclusive, you should assume you can have both. You can have T or F or both without W. As a conditional, W is sufficient to trigger “T or F”, but it’s…
-
Take 1-2 PTs every week.

Main point is the gist of the passage. For example, consider this made-up passage on the history of corn: First paragraph: corn was used by native americans Second paragraph: native americans prayed to gods for corn Third paragraph: corn was use…
-
Main purpose = why did the author bother to write this passage? Maybe they want to convince you to adopt a new policy. Maybe they want to challenge an old idea. Maybe they want to share new information. Basically, what motivated them to sit down a…
-
You should start with the older (40-50) and work towards the newer (80's) because the test has changed. You don't need to take every prep test ever written, so I wouldn't bother with the earlier ones. Save the problems from those tests for problem …

How long did it take you to get back in between breaks? I waited for 20 minutes with no response, was afraid something went wrong.
-
Highlighting tragedy can be great, as long as you write about how you overcame it. One good personal statement I read was about a girl who was raped, but then decided to fight against sexual violence and became involved in activism. It's really abo…

I'm consistently at -0/-1 for LR, and I second the above answer. Locate conclusion and put mouse over it, prephrase answer.
-
What percent of people overall have tech problems?
-
I give myself five minutes for the entire game, and then I move on to the next one. I subtract 5 from 35 and say "I am moving on to the next game when the clock hits 30". Then on the next game I subtract another 5 and say "I am moving on when the c…

Don’t know if this is the best advice but I did this on the August test and ended up fixing the inference This is good if you can easily find the error, but skipping is essential if you "just can't figure out where you went wrong". For me, …
-
Above is great advice. The best way to avoid making these errors is to get clear and consistent about your LG process. I recommend numbering all the rules (1, 2, 3, 4, 5), which can help you prevent missing one. Always write the "players" at the t…
