@gabehasastory yes my transcript + UGPA were the same @"Matt Sorr" I think so, yes...Like you wisely pointed out, I think the biggest factor will be the LSAT. I was averaging a 172 before scoring my 169, so I do feel like there are a few points lef…

@Hhaleyh in it for the long run! Thanks for the advice

@"Matt Sorr" thanks for the feedback. I definitely agree that even one extra point would make a huge difference Getting back to California is really important to me, and so I do feel like waiting might be the right choice!!

I'm 25, and I feel old sometimes (which is ridiculous)! Love hearing from all you non-traditional students. You got this!

I practice taking all four sections so stamina wise, i'm ready for a four section test. In reality, it shouldn't matter which section is the experimental because on test day, you don't have control over which section it is. Every practice test has …

This is a straight forward sequencing game. Here's how I set up my board. Elements: s, o, j Board: * * 1 2 3 4 5 6 Rules: 1. May 1 = May 3 (visually represented on the board by indicating that the same piece is played). 2. O --> OJ 3…

@nachooooo When I started studying, RC was around -8. When I posted this, I was averaging around -5 on RC, but my scores would fluctuate anywhere from -2 to -7. Since then, my scores have now consistently jumped up to -2. Honestly I'm not sure what …

@"Facta Non Verba" congrats on your 164! When I started my diagnostic was a 155, and it took me a very long time to break into the mid 160's. I found that drilling really got me over the hump. My strategy was to focus on the parts of the tests and t…

@"Scott Milam" @"Facta Non Verba" thank you for the advice! Anecdotally, I did feel like the rest I got between the November test and preparing again for the January test gave me the perspective to see how what I had learned had fit together, and t…

I took November, and did well, but about 3 points lower than I had hoped for. I started studying again around 12/3 (when we got our scores), and have been only doing 10-15 hours a week. Now ramping up to 15-20, since I have the time. I actually noti…

@Universalitea_ haha no worries - happy to share some advice. Here's a summary/recap of my LR journey. I started out at around -7 +- a few points. Phase 1- learn the basics. I started using the LSAT trainer. After about 3 months of studying, I swi…

I started at a 155 and took forever to get into the 160's. After switching to 7 sage about 3 months in, I realized that I was missing a lot of fundamentals. Depending on how you feel about conditional logic, diagramming, and logical indicators, I th…

I just did some research on consultants, and I felt like Spivey was the best company I found!
-
I did not have technical issues, but I had a bad proctoring experience that I felt potentially impacted my score in one of my sections. Does this justify a complaint? @whatsmyname and @msaleeby how did you file?
-
@ledkarly this is great advice - thank you! @yunoninse thank you for the encouragement!!!
-
My suggestion is to develop a skipping & timing strategy. I'm averaging -1 on games, and I never really 'learned' games. I read a few chapters from the LSAt trainer, and just got to practicing after that. This section is not conceptually challe…

Don't give up. Most people study for about a year. I'd recommend pushing the November test to January. I started studying in January 2020, and just now broke into the 170's. Don't give up and keep pushing. you got this.
-
@anoshkapande I see a lot of comments advocating for no note taking. I'm a tactile learner, and have always felt like the act of reading, underlining, and physically holding the paper/pen in my hand really makes a huge difference for me. In undergra…
-
I was also in the same boat about two months ago where I'd hover around the -2 or -3 benchmark for one section and then drop into -7 or -8 for the next. The truth is thought that if you are inconsistent, you don't have mastery yet. Luck plays a big …
-
Thanks this is helpful!
-
Same boat, but I think if you're struggling, it's your mind and body telling you to take a break. I'm taking November because I knew I'd need some down time after August and didn't want to rush into October. Good luck.
-
If you watch JY review videos and he tries to fix wrong answer choices or tries to abstract out certain arguments and reduce them to lawgic, I think this is the best way to try to foolproof the LR sections - really engage with them and ask yourself …
-
commenting to follow. I'm a little unclear, too about how we log on... Do we just log onto proctor u at our test time?
-
Commenting here because LR is still my worst section. I've been studying for about 6 months and can sometimes get to -2 on sections, but more realistically fluctuate between -5 and -7. I think I struggle to read quickly and bucket out time.... In B…
-
just got thru keep refreshing!
-
Refresh proctor u! seems to be working now!
-
Yes I got the email from LSAC saying we can expect an email.... nothing from them!
-
Congrats on your score! Well deserved. Can you share your skipping strategy for RC and LR? @"Burt Reynolds" Reynolds

@DontPay4LawSchool I do usually review questions 1-10, but as you mentioned, they usually are pretty easy, but I do it for consistency's sake since it really doesn't take me more than 10 minutes to get through them on BR.. I know BR is untimed, but …
-
Commenting here because I'm firmly stuck in the mid 160's, and have taken a few tests piece-meal (IE four sections over the course of a day, rather than all at once), and have hit a few 168's. I've been between 161 and 168 for about 8 weeks and woul…
