If you're already set on retaking the LSAT, you might as well do the writing again, right? But generally speaking, I'm not sure how seriously schools examine writing samples (probably not very critically). It's a response to an unfamiliar prompt un…

I think that's the total amount they're giving you over 3 years. So 60k, for example, would be 20k/year
-
LR no longer counts for 50%, since it only makes up 1/3 of the entire test now. There is one LR, one RC, and one LG. Then there's the unscored 4th section that could be any of them
-
You should start by pushing the February test. Then maybe reevaluate how you study. I can't advise you on this, since I don't know how you've been studying. But at the very least try really getting into it, not "on and off"

@"C_S_D 01" said: It's just an algorithm. One weird thing I've noticed is that I got a bunch after my June LSAT and then it petered out...and in the last month or so it picked up again. I heard it may be a slow cycle this year? Maybe t…

@tahurrrrr said: I'm no admissions expert, but here are my thoughts on this: If it's a school where your LSAT score is higher than their 75th percentile, then they want you to apply because if you matriculate to that school, you'll boost …

I imagine you can. You probably don't want to be moving around trying to plug it in during the test, but I think you can leave it plugged in before the test begins.

Like the person above said, make sure your proctor is aware of this. That way you're not getting interrupted or derailed unnecessarily. In addition, I have heard people say control F is not all that helpful, and can even be a distraction. So if you…

Twice I have taken the actual test; I got 2 RCs both times. One time back-to-back RC. Like the person before mentioned, stamina is very important. Practice for it. I think everyone should be prepared for the possibility of 2 RCs. Good luck!
-
I think with RC, like a lot of other aspects of the LSAT, you should figure out what works for you. So try not to obsess too much over the artificial numbers. Frankly, I'm not sure blowing through the passage in 2 minutes is a good idea. Sure you ha…

Most (or many) top scores have accommodation? I'm genuinely curious, as this is news to me

@bananabo said: Some schools specifically ask you to include why you want to go there in their PS prompt, so it varies by school. For me, I played it safe and included a short paragraph at the end of my PS for the schools that didn't give an o…

Thanks guys! Good luck to all of us

@"rachel mcd" said: Anyone know where to look to see if a break down of how many questions right/wrong in the specific sections? Do they not show that? It'd be very helpful if they did, but I don't believe they do that

@SanJuan_Islands said: This was my first time taking the LSAT and I am very glad that I will be taking it again. The proctor for the writing section was very strict in comparison to the multi-choice proctor(s). I was told I had to leave t…

@"Anna Armada" said: RC-LG-RC-LR English is my second language and this is my first time to take a proctored official LSAT. The first RC made me panic. I held my breathe to the point that I started to feel dizzy. LG is my strongest part in…

Are you taking the June test? If you are, and you're a first time taker, I think they would have sent you an email to create an account already. If you're registered for a future(that is not June 2022), then you can expect to get an email in the fu…

@"If Glory then Guts" said: John is taller than Mary is a logical inference though, in that it must be true. MSS is not the same thing as a proper inference. An example stem from an LSAT is "which of the following can be properly inferred from…
-
Like you said they're "identical", not =. For example, "John is the tallest person in his class. Mary is in John's class." In this case, it MBT that John is taller than Mary. Inferences on the other hand, are just strongly supported conclusions. The…

This is how I understand it: naturally to weaken this argument would be to find something other than blackbird's "nesting experience" to account for this observation. B does that: if their eggs naturally get more viable the older they get, that woul…

Thanks for getting back to me. Like a lot of people have suggested already, you can work on improving your LSAT score. It's very doable. Good luck with everything!
-
Sorry about this. If you don't mind, could you disclose your stats and what schools rejected you? I feel like there might be a lesson here for me. If not, that's okay. Thanks
-
A is by far the best answer choice because it basically rewords the first sentence of the stimulus (the conclusion). Notice A uses the phrase "if at all". It's not saying a comprehensive approach definitely fixes it; it only goes as far as saying if…

Registration for specific date/time usually opens like 3 weeks before the actual test day. I am taking the March 11/12 test and I think date sign up began Feb. 24.

I agree with Scott above. Once I got the basics down and started working towards mastering, which I still am, I'd do each LG section timed just to see how I'd perform under such conditions. After that initial timed section, I would keep playing unti…

They use a lot of recent PTs (I mean 60s, 70s and 80s) for their problem sets. So if you're trying to save these PTs, I'll say stay away from Khan. When I first started studying a few months ago, I started with Khan (did not know any better), I kind…

Yes. I think I read that you're allowed up to 5 sheets of ruled or unruled papers
-
I think that's just saying "it's not necessary, but it may be sufficient". This particular thing is not required to produce a certain other thing/event, but its presence/occurrence may nonetheless be enough to produce that thing. I think that ca…
-
I don't know how well you're doing (maybe you should be giving me tips instead), but as someone averaging -4/5 on RC, what I've found really helpful is just engaging with the passages. Read it, enjoy it, breathe etc. Try to relax and avoid doing any…
-
I don't know if this helps, but what you're looking for (at least what I look for), is an AC that summarizes as much of the passage as possible. One or two of them will be clearly wrong; 2 of the remaining 3 choices may touch on what was discussed i…
