It was so much fun doing this interview with J.Y. Many thanks @"Juliet - 7Sage"

First - I’m not sure of the exact wording the JY uses (he is the Authority imho)I don’t know if we can ever be 100% sure that we’ve gotten every in inference because there’s no Notification that pops up that says “congratulations you’ve gotten every…

@lexxx745 said: I agree. Although im a bigger fan of freezing cold showers in the morning I feel like a hot shower in the morning might make me drowsy I read in a couple articles that colder showers signal it's time for the body to rest…

Great suggestion - just checked it out of the library based on your rec!

Congrats!!!

Hi there, I love teaching reading comp - one major tip is focus on question types. I'm amazed at how few courses have question types for RC. And if they do, they often don't emphasize mastering them. Think about it - question types are fundamental…

Stem first. I try to be open minded to different ideas, but having done both as a student, I believe Stem is superior and it's one of the first things I hammer home to all my students!

A friend of mine just shared this new article - a great supplement to this post: https://www.quantamagazine.org/why-sleep-deprivation-kills-20200604?fbclid=IwAR2hzq8tcNOBasuxCm7oO22oIlhQqAWzHXZd39mMIuzNAZ5i95jxomgYJxU

A few things that may help: -Use the stylus to guide your eyes while reading for EVERY Word. -ensure you’re getting the ideal amount of sleep every night. -meditate/light exercise bfo pt. Nothing crazy, just enough to get in a good/centered pla…

Hey there, I’m one of those tutors.It really depends on the person, and where you are in the process. One important suggestion - Feel free to take advantage of the free consults most of us offer. We can certainly talk about your learning needs, bu…

Treat financial aid apps like rolling admissions as well. The earlier the better at some schools ie Berkeley.

Hi there, I’ve worked with a number of students with learning disabilities/differences. I’d be happy to chat if you like. Feel free to DM me.

Hi there, I totally get the concern over fresh PTS. But it’s not the end of the world if you do indeed run out. I actually ran out before my third take which got me my Target score. But if I wasn’t scoring a 180 on those PTS (and I wasn’t , then th…

BUMP! If you took the LSAT today, please take a few minutes to do this NOW! The benefits are invaluable! For your convenience, my original post is below: I tell all of my students to do exactly what I did after each time I took the LSAT. I wrote…

Haha. In this case it’s not exactly TMI. I always tell my students to simulate the test is much is possible, and that includes being hydrated while making sure that you can minimize your bathroom breaks the way you have to on test day. Some additio…

It can take time. Easier said than done, but it comes down to quality over (quantity of time put in to games). Definitely fool proof, but make it about the quality. When you watch JY's video after your first game, do it actively. Pay special attent…
-
in my experience, it's super important to take it easy the day/night before the test. If you want to do a PT Thursday, fine. But I would focus on your review sheet Friday. I suppose you could get away with a timed section or two but I really would …
-
It's a marathon, not a sprint. I also agree with the detachment mindset Akistotle shared above. Perhaps most important, trust yourself - trust your gut. At the end of the day, you're the one taking this test, going to law school, and putting in the…
-
There isn't a perfect answer - it's simple, but not that simple - here's my take: On the one hand, it makes a big difference to apply early - Berkeley is a great example - on the other, your best score is the priority. So... I'd prep for September…

I'm bumping this for any students that got their scores recently and were disappointed. Delays are not denials - Get Back Up!
-
I would maybe cut it out a week or two before the Exam (I tried 2 months and don't think it's necessary - two weeks worked for my best score). As for the long term study plan, Be your own judge - light hangovers will affect the quality of your stud…

Hi - I'm a nontrad - 10 years out from college I don't know of any general trend where you need a higher LSAT just because you're non-trad. BUT GPA and LSAT are the two primary factors in admissions. So if your GPA is not as high for your target…
-
@sweetsecret no worries - the examples used will be in the low 30 pts just like in the course. FYI - Students rightly want to avoid recent questions to keep PTs "pure" and I think that's the way to go. In the off chance you see an LR Q or 2 it's n…

Just wanted to bump this for June Takers

Hey @"Ron Swanson" First - love your username and icon! 1) 2 pts per week with BR would be solid. 3 may be pushing it. If you do go for 3, make sure there's at least 1 day of rest in between each PT and DON'T Skimp on BR - Proper BR is more impor…
-
Congrats Nicole - you deserve it!!!
-
Hey All - Just wanna give this webinar a shameless plug.... Honestly, proper BR is one of the few big things you can do to increase your score... I've also seen a lot of well-meaning students, who think they know how to BR, missing critical asp…

1 has been ansswers so... 2. The standard I like is make as good a prediction(s) as you can - A. If a general prediction or elements of what you'd look for is as far as you can take it, great. B. Depending on the question, nothing wrong wit…
-
@twssmith don't be silly. No question is bad. You were fine. In fact, it allowed me to expand on how to move through predictions and why making multiple predictions/prephrases is okay.

As long as it fits their specified ounce limit for the container, it's fine. I brought coffee on test day
