Real RC (REALLY TOUGH!): 14th amendment, music/words (comparative) Real LG (fairly easy/standard/no oddball misc games): putting people in booths, musicians/ exhibitions

Can anyone please confirm if the 26 LR with the N desert question was real? I also think it had a question about some electric transmission line...

With enough time and practice, anything is possible. Can you give us your score breakdown by section so we can give you more specific advice on what to drill, where to maximize your time, etc.?

I read his book, Just Mercy, and it was one of the most eye-opening things I have ever read in my life. He is an inspiration.

With your stats + URM, you can get into CLS without ED.

LOL @ the "sell your soul" scratch out

Have you tried timed sections as drills? You may be experiencing a pacing difficulty. Are you employing a skipping strategy? Top scorers have a pacing/skipping strategy that works for them. Are you missing specific question types? If so, you may …

I think your recent PT scores are a bit troublesome, because you're likely to perform the average of the most recent 3 PTs on test day. That said, I think you may be experiencing burn out. Your earlier PTs show your potential, but the fact that the …

Science passages are not hard. You just think that they are hard. This mindset is easy to overcome by simply increasing your exposure to them. Just take 10-15 minutes out of your day every morning to read one dense, scientific article from The Econo…
-
Personally, this approach doesn't work for me. I get too cautious/anxious about eliminating answer choices on the first round after reading Passage A without having read Passage B. I think it definitely depends on your reading style, but for me, it'…

For me, it would depend on the LRAP (loan repayment assistance program) at each school. It also depends on which area of public interest law that you would like to pursue, considering that some paths are (slightly?) more financially lucrative than o…

If you haven't heard of JY's low resolution/high resolution summary method (it's relatively new and it has superseded the memory method), I suggest that you look into it and apply it to your studies. 1) The low res summary is literally one word or …

A few strategies that work for me: I aim to finish the first 10 questions in 10 minutes. Rarely, there are a few curvebreakers in the first 10, but regardless, try and finish the first few quickly and with confidence. Speed comes from efficiency i…

@"rebecca.liujing" Thanks. I read your post recently about your success -- it was insanely inspiring. Congrats and best of luck in applying!
-
@"Alex Divine" Great tips. Thank you!
-
@westcoastbestcoast No worries! I actually never took a cold diagnostic. My first PT score after finishing the CC was a 155. That's why I feel more or less stagnant in my progress since I've only gained 10 points (at best) since my first PT. I've tr…
-
@westcoastbestcoast Honestly, from the September take - probably a 164? Not sure about December as I couldn't finish due to an emergency. I agree about averaging 173s, which is indeed a long way to go... thanks for your two cents.

@10000019 said: When are you planning on retaking the exam? Is there a maximum time you are willing to wait before your next retake? @10000019 Great question, thanks for reminding me - I am aiming for either June or September 2018 (or both).…

Your numbers are competitive. I wouldn't apply ED if I were you.
-
Hey, this is a solid dilemma and not an easy decision. But if I were you, I would take off from this cycle and focus on your LSAT. Because your GPA is on the lower side, you're going to want to maximize your LSAT score (even if you are a URM). That…
-
I try to focus on these questions through a more intuitive approach. Especially for the newer tests, the LSAT seems to punish mechanical thinking such as blindly applying P --> C formulas and the like. That said, I conceptually approach them as …
-
I would leave the firm's name, but distinguish each position separately, and note that you were promoted. This upward trajectory not only shows that you not only excelled in your duties, but that you could also commit to working while studying full …

Go Dan!

Keep your head up, everyone! There is always December.

@Victoria14 said: This was my exact struggle and I'll be honest - I'm testing. By December it's VERY difficult to get a scholarship, let alone January. If you feel like everything is falling in to place, go ahead and test. It's not too late …
-
I would tread carefully here. Gambling isn't necessarily illegal everywhere, so I would just make it clear that you were in a legalized setting (i.e. casino) and participating recreationally as opposed to anything else.
-
Hey @"Alex Divine" thanks for the advice! For RC, I think it's really timing. I usually have no problem breezing through the first two easier ones, but then I get stuck on the third passage (usually level 4 or so) and get like -3 alone there. And t…
-
I think you should start prepping in the 70s, because your score is likely to fluctuate greatly at first. The 70s are a bit weird and difficult for several reasons. 1) The stimuli in the LR sections are incredibly unorthodox in that cookie-cutter "…
-
I think you should develop your own diagramming strategy and employ it repetitiously. You can't just read JY's methods or Mike Kim's method without formulating one of your own. For example, I write out the contrapositive because it's easier for me t…

It's easy to burn out and feel overwhelmed. I'm studying part-time while working full-time at the moment, too, so this is very relatable. First of all, take a deep breath. Everything will be ok. The fact that you are even managing a consistent score…
