"Powerscore had predicted that Monday's test is probably going to be a test from the high 60's-mid 70's PTs"
Highly speculative but hey, why not. Do you have the link for that?
You may just be overthinking it. We all tend to do it, especially with things we revere and hold in high esteem, but put your personal statement in the right context in the whole scheme of your applications. My pre-law advisor, who’s no novice at th…
Isn't the range from late Dec to March wide? I would think there would be a big difference applying in Dec than in March alone. I too was concerned about the September vs December difference but I've generally had the response that there's not much …
I'll be the voice of dissent and say go for it on September. There'd be too much pressure on one single take in December since December is really your last shot for the cycle. I don't understand what would be wrong in taking September and then impro…
While practicing, you don't want to take things easy and have the experimental serve as a convenient cushion for you. If you prepare for the worst, you should be able to handle anything on test day. So I usually put the experimental at the point whe…
These changes like accepting the GRE and giving more opportunities to take the LSAT, with no limitations on the number of takes no less, seem to indicate that law school is becoming a lot more like business and trade schools. I think this'll encoura…
Have something to look forward to doing at the end of a full test. Like going to the movies or something. Or, if you're really not feeling it, think in terms of doing up to at least the 15 minute break. You may find afterwards that it's not that big…
Great points here. Sounds like the consensus is to sequentially go through each game until you come against the unique one and just outright skip it and come back to it at the end without trying it out at all.

At this point, I am mostly doing timed sections, and I'll probably do most of the 70s in timed sections as well.
I'm also finding that full timed PTs are a waste if you're at a certain point in your studies (like if y…
This is a good question and I don't know if you got an adequate answer. I recently took one of the newer PTs and, at least to me, there are significant differences. Presently I'm inclined to just focus on the last 15 PTs or so. I'm sure PTs 36+ prov…
Great post deserving of a timely bump.
"I have a very specific method of "book briefing" which I'm happy to share with you all over the summer."
I'm still interested in learning more about this! @DumbHollywoodActor think you can talk to Nicole abo…
Sometimes necessary assumption questions are similar to sufficient assumptions where you have to bridge pieces of the argument together. If you strictly follow the argument, you should be able to notice gaps. In these cases, I try to anticipate the …
@"Daniel.Sieradzki" You sure about that advice to not take a preptest in the last week? Wouldn't you be a little off when it comes time to take the test if its been more than a week since you took one?
You would "forget" everything by September? The LSAT isn't like an undergrad test where you memorize facts and regurgitate on test day. Frankly I question the credibility of anyone who gave you that kind of advice. You're working to improve your ana…
Set a cut-off date and a score range to decide whether you'll be taking the September test. Do everything in your power within reason to get within that range by that cut-off date. If that date comes and you haven't been consistently scoring within …
Maybe your drills aren't reflective of taking a 35 minute section? If you get -2/-1 a lot of times in drills but do poorly on the test then maybe timing or concentration is the main issue.
Short answer is yes, you can infer that. For the purpose of applying the contrapositive, it makes no difference if you have, for example, "R → B" or "/R → /B." That is, "R" could just as easily represent "Not raining" as "/R" as long as you're consi…
This article doesn't add much at all. Stop listening to other people's conclusions, critically evaluate why you want to go to law school and do the research you need to resolve your concerns.
I think you're getting confused because of the many instances of "not." Just break things into the sufficient and necessary condition without focusing on the nots.
So we have (Any candidate whose visual image does not evoke many positive feelings i…
