@"nicole.burdakin" Tbh, as corny as it might sound, I've been very surprised with how generally cool my classmates are. The vibe in my section is like we're all on the same team. People are helpful with sharing notes, we have an active FB group fo…

Let's also not forget that Northeastern doesn't give out traditional grades or class rank. This further adds to the need to distinguish yourself while in law school through co-ops, internships, etc. I think if OP wants public interest within Boston…

@Alejandro Thanks for the reply! The thing is, these co-op work experiences are offered through the University.. so I'm not sure they qualify as the kind of "gaps" that that question refers to. Would it make sense to submit it as an optional atta…

Can't you just compare your answer sheet to what the "item response report" or whatever that chart breakdown says? Then, if there are any discrepancies apply for hand scoring

Various people here, on TLS, and Reddit have called LSAC and have received inconsistent answers about when the scores are coming. Someone on Reddit claimed to talk to someone who said today specifically. Until scores actually come out it could be t…

From what I've always heard primetime gray period is 3-5pm est and scores come out in waves once the icons go gray. In June 2016 I noticed gray around 4pm and had my score in email by 4:35. It's an anticlimactic end to days/weeks of agonizing wait…

I'm going to be contrarian here and say the difference of an upward trend will be minimal. Your gpa is your gpa..that's what law schools have to report for rankings purposes so the number itself is what matters. However, if three students had the …

I'm sticking with tomorrow, no way LSAC would work on a Sunday to do us a favor like that
-
@onecallthatsall Definitely take a chill pill here. Who knows how LSAC will handle it, I doubt the past will have much to do with what happens this time considering how unusual the situation you're describing is. You legitimately have no control …

@LibertyKoko where can I find the Spivey article?

I feel like the most notable takeaway from 78 was clay tablets and some tricky LR questions. Seems like a lot of people were tripped up by the lacquer passage and obviously the virus game was a curveball. True, LR seemed pretty straight forward but…

Anyone remember the # of questions per game in the LG? I remember the first had 5 and the last had 6; unsure of the middle 2. Apologies in advance if this breaks rules for being too specific, feel free to remove or I'll edit myself.

@MaxineSP said: Was the chess LR in the experimental or real? Real. 2 LRs and I had it
-
Ehhh I think it depends on how you think the other sections went. I'm going to assume you mean that you got rocked by the LG? Seems like that's what most people are feeling. Like @montaha.rizeq says, if it's your 3rd take and you have a previous t…
-
@LSATKingsman And that's the nature of the beast with RC. Maybe I felt so good about it because I had it 3rd, and had just come off of crushing an LR and what I thought was a real LG. Ugh
-
@LSATKingsman said: Hope you guys talk about the RC difficulty because I couldn't tell. Questions felt super fucking hard while passages were quite easy. idk. I personally thought the RC was easy-ish, and RC is generally my worst section. The Lico…

@pmathur2016 said: Isn't the LSAT not curved? Please forgive me if I've wrong! LSAC's methods have always mystified me. Sorry, curve may not be the best way to put it. LSAC basically uses experimental sections to create a scoring scale a few years…

Really hoping for a forgiving curve given that ridiculous virus game

While it's up to the proctor in the end, Don't worry about it. My photo also does not fit perfectly, but I called LSAC asking about it and they said as long as the proctor can clearly identify its you, you'll be fine. I used this same photo for Jun…
-
Echoing what everyone else wrote. 7sage proctor app follows LSAT protocol so hopefully your proctor will too
-
@cbennett13 I'm in a somewhat similar situation as you insofar as my average/real score in June 2016. What changed between your pre June and post June PTs? Were the lower score PTs from the 70s? Were they retakes? Curious about the situation so I …
-
I think it's definitely most important to get yourself to the level of being able to complete each passage. It takes time and practice, but you'll eventually get there. In the meantime, I like @leejaylee's idea of picking the 3 passages with the mo…
-
I don't think it needs to be a binary choice. Plus, if you're worried about cooking/washing dishes taking you away from studying then you need an LSAT break. Kidding aside, just focus on making healthy choices and do what's best for you. You wouldn…

I've been thrown off by "pedagogical": related to teaching or teachers and the word "tantamount": equivalent, same as

Agree with @LSATKingsman, good advice.

Agree with the sentiment to be on the lookout for a circle game. But @allison.gill.sanford made a good point a few weeks ago at the Boston BR meetup when we were talking about circle games: Just because a circle game is seen in the experimental doe…
-
To kind of build on @danielznelson's post, in LR it's way more important to focus on eliminating wrong answers than finding the right one. If you can effectively throw out all of the garbage ACs, you'll find the right answer even if it's of the crap…
-
I feel like OP is destined to be one of those people quoted in those "Ridiculous things you hear people say at the LSAT" threads after the test. Nonetheless, good luck; maybe the stars will align and you'll walk out of there with your 170. In my op…

Agreed, thanks @david.busis!
