It's just a little bit frustrating because I had intended to take the October LSAT and my family is pressuring me excessively to take the December and get it over with. They dont understand that the LSAT really takes time and I kno…
I would definitely start doing timed PT's and doing clean-copy BR on them. Get at least 5 minimum under your belt... there is a huge difference, at least for me, mentally when doing timed v. untimed. Putting yourself in that stressful situation make…

At this point in your prep, your confidence is as important as the skills you've acquired through months of preparation. You must go into this test with an unshakable resolve and conviction that you are going to own it.

I'm gonna get hate for this too, but the lowest ranked school I'd go to is U of Alabama. Honestly, since I want to practice in the South (Nashville/maybe B'ham) and am NOT interested in biglaw, UA seems one of my only options. Emery or Vanderbilt ar…

I still have to BR it so I'm curious to see what type of mistakes were made.
Post on here and let me know! I'm curious to see what you thought of it

But if it is SO BE IT because we are going to slay December regardless.
THIS. THIS. Trying to keep positive, because at the end of the day it is us against our own brain on this test, and even if the RC is more difficult, that do…

That's mirror physics passage was out of control, absolute devastation.
YES THANK YOU. I remember staring at it and thinking, what the hell, I have read my whole life, I love reading, it's literally one of my strongest skills (co…

@schyler.cox - thank you SO MUCH for the care and attention you're devoting. really nice of you.
No problem!! I enjoy helping people not make the mistakes I did, I learned from them but maybe others can learn from them withou…

-I BR every PT. but clean copy? first time i've heard that. what does that mean? as in i BR the same PT but a fresh copy, with no previous answers? I will try that, but holy moly... does that sound time-consuming.
Talk to @Pac…
thank you @"Dillon A. Wright" ! But I don't have access, I couldn't pay for any other courses but the starter Since I had mistakenly put so much money in other *ahem* completely useless, ineffective, ridiculously expensive prep courses about a year…
Have you done any of JY's curriculum? That's been huge for me. It's bumped by LR up to -5, -6 on every section. His RC lessons have been super helpful too, for retaining information, so more time reading and internalizing the MP's of each paragraph …

Clean copy BR or it didn't happen.
RT. it helps SO MUCH, you're not fighting your ego and it lets your brain totally reset from the question. Even erasing with a great eraser, which I used to do (yes, I know it's totally crazy), yo…

I've got my clean copies and I'll be back at it on my lunch break!
You need more than 12 hours to combat burnout. Let me tell you from personal experience. Take a few days off, don't think about anything LSAT related, don't get on …
@shainabarber said:
Reading Comp somehow went from my best to worst section and more practice doesn't seem to be making much difference.
SAME. I went from -3 or 4 to -5 to -7... and I don't understand!
Thanks for your quick response!!!
Hmmm. I do see why A would be correct, but I guess the lack of structural logic gave me trouble here. It seems to be more about understanding human emotions which seems super rare for the LSAT to throw at us. I wa…
Also, you can get invaluable help on here if you're active, people are so willing to help you unpack and figure out problems. Plus there's inexpensive, but amazing, tutoring available.

I'm using the Starter and I am finding it super helpful--you get the lessons, and a good amount of example videos, which have worked wonders for me. I had more LSAT background going in, though, but honestly haven't really used any of it as I have re…
@DumbHollywoodActor said:
Are you jotting down reasons why each wrong answer is incorrect during BR?
I actually do write them down! My clean copies are scribbled all over by the end of it. I don't think I am looking at them enough in the context …
@beth.flanders said:
I'll keep on going because there is always the next PT!
That's such a good attitude! It sounds like you have a little test anxiety to me. I personally don't experience it but I know a TON of people do. What helps for me is bef…

Omg I started prepping with Kaplan and it was the worst.

Why would you recommend not taking the October exam? Most law schools take the top score, including Georgetown, Cornell, and Northwestern. If I end up with a 170+ I'll just not retake.
I recommended it based on what you said you…
@That170doe said:
since the last 7 and up have i realized how important a thorough BR is.
YAS! I haven't even done many PT's with BR yet so I'm pumped to see the results, as slow as they may come. Keep me updated how the process is going. Your con…

I decided I need to apply this cycle so might as well use up all the opportunity I have.
So you are or are not taking the Oct. test? If you are still planning on it, I STRONGLY recommend waiting until Dec.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who jumped ship! Right now, I am really investing in BR'ing and taking my time to write out the reasons why each answ…
Sorry all, I took a week hiatus and got a massage, and I am back and ready to kick some LSAT butt! I was definitely burned out. I would recommend that if you have that hopeless, weight-of-the-world-on-your-shoulders feeling, to definitely take a few…
yes, i will forever hold a grudge with that company for molding my innocent, LSAT-free brain incorrectly from the start... it did make 7Sage and The Trainer seem like dreams come true though lol. i got the starter package, because at this point in m…
