I slept on-and-off the entire night before my exam--this is pretty normal, I wouldn't worry too much about it. I probably only had 2-3 hours of uninterrupted, restful sleep. My advice is to have as flawless a sleep schedule…
I have exactly the same problem. I took the last few weeks to sulk, but I'm going to retake this summer so it's mid-day. Not much else you can do beyond RX sleep aides. I realize some people swear by melatonin supplementation but it's largely been s…

You'll probably want to take the admissions course. It'll provide helpful advice.
I can't afford it:(
The basic admissions course with all the relevant info is like $15.
Focus like a motherfucker. Honestly, i've found intense concentration to be the key in RC.
More specifically, though, here's my process:
After each paragraph, take a few seconds to summarize the main focus of that paragraph. I write that summary …
your goals are your goals. try to show as many sides of yourself as you can, but you want your entire app to read as a cohesive, complementary whole.
I'd say just make sure they don't conflict, don't worry about a bit of repetition, just let it com…
Each application is very specific on what they ask you to include. Some say literally everything, others say, criminal offenses and traffic issues from reckless driving and up only.
Everyone gets fired occasionally. Tell them you got fired and why,…
My strategy for overcoming nerves was just figuring, eh, I can always retake, not a big deal. and then just went in 100% with the attitude that this was just another practice test. I also went a few days before the test to the test center and basica…
Lower end of my expected range, but well within it. I'd never taken a PT with a scantron sheet before. That bubbling is time consuming af. The score is a nice data point to have going forward, though.
I wonder what percentage of the people testing under extended time are also taking advantage of (in the most neutral sense of the expression) similar educational accommodations in their first year of law school as compared to in undergrad.
Also, I …
From the $15 (I think) 7Sage admissions curriculum:
"Stellar recommendations, a clean résumé, and, above all, a memorable personal statement could push a borderline application into the yes pile, just as a poorly written essay, an error-ridden résu…

I cut out hard questions in LR with the questions and stem on the front and the AC on the back, with small explanations of why each was right/wrong. I had to use like size 8 font sometimes, but I have a collection of hard LR…
I have the same problem. I'm thinking September and then auto retaking in December, basically. Too worried I'll have a bad day or get sick on the December test and be stuck without recourse.
When I was in Katrina exile, the first time I tried to take the LSAT, I canceled the night before a snowstorm. The next day I got an email saying that I could have gotten my money back if I hadn't canceled. I think they also offered those lucky few …
Yeah, @"Seeking Perfection" is spot on. There is no need to spend 3k on any part of your prep. I'm not advocating it...(am i legally covered by writing that?) but all of the prep tests are available at one price point or another ($0) online. Most pr…
Many give an option for multiple boxes to be checked. I'll be checking multiple boxes. Hispanic, for the purposes of the application, is defined as a person of Cuban, Mexican, South or Central American, or other Spanish culture or origin, regardless…
@jennybbbbb If I were to do it all again, I'd likely skip some of the practice sets and kind of dog ear them for drilling later. I would definitely watch all of the instructional videos and do at least some of the drills on the first go, though. I'd…
I don't necessarily do little samples like some of the above posters, but I have a cork board with the basic How To of each question problem laid out. It consists of the PDF print-outs provided in the CC and my own notes. I give it a once over every…
Law schools are now only required to report the top LSAT score when reporting their acceptance statistics. This is a change from the previous policy. The result seems to be that the first score has little to no effect on acceptance rates. Now, none …
Check your chair. I switched up from studying at a wooden dining room type chair to a ergonomic office chair and it's a world of difference. Not only can I sit longer before my back starts hurting when I'm just reading, it lets me sit back a bit mor…
