  • Yeah I was surprised. I fell right in line with BU's numbers but they may be doing a rankings thing. Wonder how they'll feel about that now that they dropped down. I did get into BC however.
  • @stgl1230 DO TELL PLEASE.
  • What's going on with BU? Literally got an email from them today waitlisting me. I was pissed. Yet, I have a full ride to Iowa which used to tie you? Location, location, location.
  • I'm in a similar boat in regards to debt. It's a very scary number to take on. However, I can tell you that if I had been offered a spot at U of C, I would take it. Have you looked at Law School Transparency? It's ranked higher in their employment s…
  • I spent a long time on it. Had a lot of people look at it to give me advice and make it more concise. Best thing is to write out your main thesis or what you want to get across and then make sure each paragraph supports that. Then make sure each sen…
  • Congrats!!!!
  • I took the LSAT 2 years ago with a 158. I went back to it in August and got a diagnostic of 154. I used 7Sage and ended up with a 163 from Dec. It's not the greatest score (180 ) but I'm proud of it and an hoping this will get me in one of my choic…
  • Brewpub for the win!!! Also perfect way to keep the alcoholism trend alive with the future lawyers!
  • Oh my god that's insane. So awful to do that to people just trying to do their jobs/get through this test. Also sorry but I'm assuming someone that reacted this way maybe didn't get into a car accident and fucked up and was looking for a way to blam…
  • OK I had 3 LR sections. I remember the last contained a T-Rex question about their weird ass bodies. Middle I'm blanking on......sorry First I think had a cat food question. I'm certain the first or third were experimental though as the third …
  • Going to the club. Should be drunk enough to take the test by 4 am. Nah I'll drill a little, do some games (which I enjoy?) and probably bake or something along those lines to take my mind off of things. Also take the dog on walks and get to bed ea…
  • That RC section is pretty rough. Don't feel too bad
  • Focus on getting better and take the test. If you are so sick you feel you bombed it, you can cancel your score and take it in February. This isn't the end of the world. A lot of schools take the February exam. But just focus on getting better right…
  • I got the same thing I believe on my first PT after taking the curriculum. Yes you will improve. Unfortunately there are no shortcuts to any of this. But it's all very possible and doable.
  • I felt a similar situation with 79. I am burned out and I am taking a break from the LSAT. I"ll be taking it on the 3rd but I think the most I'll do is drilling prior to the test. I don't think I'm going to take a PT prior. Drilling should bring our…
  • Thus far 70 72 destroyed me personally but it was the first test I had taken in the 70s and I was not prepared for the slight changes made and was just thrown off guard all around. It's not that bad though of a test if you've been exposed to the n…
  • I'd say the best thing is to drill the question type and memorize the common flaws. Anticipating the answer is really good and will help you get much less thrown off by trick answer choices. But this will only come with practice and more exposure.
  • Yes it happens to me. I feel like my mind jumps around and I'm rusty. I don't tend to get a lot of them wrong in the beginning as they're usually somewhat easier but I definitely don't feel confident until I'm in my stride. I'd suggest taking a LR s…
  • If you're not applying this cycle, it makes no sense to rush to take it in December. You could take it in February or even June. Why waste a test take on a score you know isn't at your full ability?
  • The same thing happened when I took PT 72. It was a big blow but also look at your BR score. If it is much higher than it means you get the material it's more of a question of having an off day or timing. If you did not score high, then you need to …
  • I don't know much about BluePrint but I used the LSAT Bibles and I would say one thing that I think hurt me more than anything was the incessant need to categorize every game. I'd say the best part in regards to how 7Sage teaches games is just givin…
  • I'd make sure to not waste whatever of the closest to newest ones you have. So first drill questions/games you may be weak on. Also I heard someone suggest doing a PT you've already done but 25 minutes per section.
  • It's in schools' interest to have high applicant numbers. I'm not saying any of you are just numbers only, but they want to give competitive applicants incentives to apply. This will either a. make their admissions rate appear more selective based o…
  • I'd say 2. This will give you time to properly BR and drill. The real learning comes from BRing your PT and drilling. The PTs are meant to expose weaknesses to focus on. If you can do more than 2, BR and do necessary drilling, then god speed. Also d…
  • You will burn out which is really detrimental to your studying. Also, you can't truly blind review the exam and focus on your weaknesses in between tests. At that point you'd just be wasting them. I would say 2 per week is a good number. I tried 3 p…
  • I think best advice @Sami gave somewhere in these discussions is not to focus too much on your score. Take it as a gift to learn from. It's so much better to have a low score now to learn from than go into the test without having those weaknesses ex…
  • For me, if I question wrong even after blind review, I go through it and write out why my instincts were wrong, what led me there, and why the correct answer is correct. You can also do this for every answer choice per question. I honestly only do i…
  • I graduated in '10. I reached out to the professors who knew me best or who I had later in my college years. I sent them old papers for their classes to remind them of my work. I went to a really small school though. Not sure what that would do at l…
  • Completing your first PT after the curriculum is a great accomplishment and I'd say it's pretty normal to not score fantastically once you finish. Yes you now know more but it's hard to take all of the information you gained and then apply it perfec…
  • I'd say yes. But I'd bring in whatever life experience you have even if it's not necessarily extracurricular. Like if you worked or something along those lines.
