MBT and MSS collectively appeared around 5-9 times per exam when there was only 1 official LR section. Despite not being the most common question type, I still encourage working through MBT questions, reviewing the core curriculum if necessary, sinc…

This isn't exactly what you asked for, but I have suggestions on how to approach drills in different ways. One of the neat things about the LSAT is that you can take the stimulus for some LR questions and practice a different question-type on it. F…

Each law school posts ABA info from their previously admitted class on their website, so you can see the average age at matriculation. This can help inform you how much certain law schools might factor work experience into their decisions (e.g. aver…

First problem: Actively engage with mistakes. When you choose an incorrect answer, try to rephrase the AC in your own words or change parts of it to make it correct. Also correct your thinking, in that you think through the logic step by step to f…

I'm experiencing this right now with RC and understand the frustration. I'm going way too fast, skimming question stems and rushing through RC passages. I think burnout is creeping in and am trying to take a break from studying. @hfekete Have you tr…

If I understand correctly, you're planning to graduate a semester early and take the spring semester to study. It will be helpful to do something during your gap semester, such as low time commitment volunteering or a part time job - mostly because…

I agree with the above comment; make sure you're scoring in your target range before you take the January test. If you're applying for fall 2025, the added pressure of knowing that January is one of your last attempts before sending in your applica…

I was in the same situation at one point. 6-7 wrong likely means one, or several of the following: (1) the questions you get wrong are of a specific difficulty level (i.e. more difficult), which is exposing an underlying weakness in those question t…

That can absolutely go under experience. Taking a look at sample resume on law school websites might give you a good idea of the general overlay / where things fit on your resume. This one from Yale places research assistant right under experience: …

First month of studying: I drilled questions of just one LR question type at a time at easier levels. This helped me focus on each question's specific task without getting too overwhelmed by constantly switching between question type. Example: Day 1…

For each LR question type, I took notes on: 1) what my task is for the q / what the q is asking for 2) the common question stem wording for it 3) any specific question I want to review from drills that gave me trouble (e.g. PT_X_ Q_X_) 4) Mistak…

You may be in the obsolete version of PTs if you see LG. There's a tab at the top to navigate between obsolete and the current (which obv excludes LG, and adds a different LR or RC section). If you use the current format, it won't affect your calcul…

Both are valid argument forms. The CC lists these under the advanced valid argument forms lesson along with examples.

If you were applying to schools with higher median LSATs, it might make more sense to aim for a higher score. But for this school, your current score is within the range of the students they admit. Do you know the translation of above-median-LS…

This will require some analysis on your end for timing, BR, and (as the comment above states) difficulty level. Are you getting certain questions wrong because you're running out of time at the end of a section? Or just rushing through a set of part…

Hi there, Goals are going to look different for everyone depending on individual strengths and weaknesses, but that's a major part of it - identify your weaknesses and select goals that specifically target them one at a time. Your goal of reading …

Have you scored the 160+ on your most recent PTs, or were they taken a long time ago? If they're recent, it's very possible that stress impacted your performance on the official exam and is something that you can try to manage a bit more before your…

Hi @mission170, Here are a few tips: 1) I suggest making sure you can answer questions correctly under untimed conditions before drilling under timed conditions. This allows you to take time to map out the stimulus and ACs. 2) What difficulty lev…

The above comment brings up a good point about potentially scoring lower on a future exam. Although school's place greater weight on your highest score, admission officers might still be concerned if you re-took and scored lower. However, scholarsh…

Do your recent PTs reflect your goal score on the test? If not, I wouldn't use another attempt until you're ready. Going forward, make sure that each attempt is fully utilized and don't rush to take the November LSAT if you scores aren't there yet. …
