I'm in similar shoes and I wrote one. I think it helped my packet but I also think it was important that the DS be part of a collective narrative. The end goal is presenting yourself as an applicant who will contribute to the diversity of the class.…

Since it's now relevant with your 33 bennies here's an awesome spreadsheet that gives you school-specific info: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TZWCZ79yFzrv2J6bdyzqtS_uZFb8-mQ-9pXkALxEtw8/edit#gid=1439159944

So you're making a few assumptions here. You're assuming that this language is inclusive of all possible chapter GI Bill bennies when it's likely geared toward chapter 33 users. Montgomery is probably such a rare bird with law schools, simply becaus…

Take two more tests over the course of the next week. Then classify all of your LR misses by question type. You're likely to see one or two specific question types that stand out above the others. Re-do that core curriculum. Then go to the video exp…

Call lsac. See if they'll take your money. What's the worst they can do, say no?

Take November. Have everything else ready. If you're happy with your November score, go ahead and submit your applications. If you're not, retake and hold off until next year. Don't waste your money applying to schools when you don't have a record L…

Be careful of interpreting ABA stats without further looking into them. GW's biglaw numbers seem to be pumped up by a larger than average amount of IP applicants. If you are eligible to sit the patent bar this may be a positive for you. If you aren'…

There are usually only 2 or 3 questions per section that have some pretty intense lawgic in my opinion. I tend to skip them, do the other questions, and use my last ~5-8 minutes on those questions. I usually get through them with enough time even th…

Definitely agree with your method regarding SA questions. For example: PT 68, Sec 2 Question 23 was, at the time of my practice, way too advanced for me to understand without minutes of thought. With that said, I just linked up the jump in logic and…

If registered for February schools will know that when you send in your application. Unfortunately, the evidence seems to point to apps with a Feb LSAT as not receiving commensurate acceptance and ESPECIALLY scholarship money compared to apps submi…

LG is the easiest to improve initially. For me the best improvement came after I focused hard on getting the first ten questions right in LR and the first 2 games completely right in LG. We don't score highly by getting questions wrong. Improving ac…

I've got the opposite situation as Alex, funnily, with the same drive. I don't have the grades, the softs, the advantages. I was a complete idiot in my early 20s and am an entirely different individual at 33. Unfortunately, the system is not designe…

I work full time and take college classes online. I get about 60-100 minutes per day where I can study LSAT. I've been going at it since mid September, rarely going more than 2 hours in one day but rarely missing a day completely. I think it's compl…

Also, I don't know how competitive you would be for a T14 transfer out of Oklahoma even if you were top of your class. Transfers are rare enough and you will be competing against people from the top % of classes from places like Fordham, Geroge Wash…

The issue I'm finding that resonates the most with smart individuals is the reconciliation between potential debt vs placement and the bimodal structure of the law market related to salary. With that said, I would advise you to at least have one of …

I had some trouble in LR with simply not understanding what the passage actually said before I started struggling with the answers. While drilling 35 minutes sections I circled any question that I didn't feel 100% confident on and then took all thos…

Also, I've found that using the phrase "my dream is..." sounds awful in my experience interviewing candidates. "A primary goal of mine is..." sounds far more professional. The former makes you sound like a child wanting to be a princess when she gro…

Also, don't set unrealistic expectations on yourself. Why would you believe that this is the day you will hit 170 if the top of your range has never touched that number? Your median is 166. That's a reasonable expectation. If, after five more tests …

@dmtavera1 the good news is that, since you are missing flaw questions, these are some of the easiest questions to improve on since they are both so prevalent and so repetitive. I'm struggling with them as well and the best advice for those is to ju…

@LSATaker for me the hardest ones are the ones that read like, "which of the following statements would the author most be inclined to agree with?" or "Which of the following studies would be most similar to the studies performed by the researchers …

I've developed a personal strategy that has helped me, a former -7 average on RC go to -4 average. While taking RC I feel more time pressure than in any other section. As such I was reluctant to spend too much time going back into the passage to fin…

With the uncertainty in the job market a lot of folks probably are angling to T14 or bust because they simply can't risk not getting a job after racking up 100k+ of debt. Can't say that I blame them. This leaves most of the T14, and probably T20, un…

In my opinion, no. The games recently have been, for the most part, capable of being done by rote diagram. There is, on occasion, one on a section that requires more than a minute of extra thought on setup, but after that it's easy just like the res…

Personally I am focusing on a combined score for the 2 LR sections and another for the LG/RC. For a 168 I would want to be scoring no more than 7 mistakes on each subgroup. I'm aiming 170 and that goal is more along the lines of minus 5 on each subg…

72 game 4 is definitely one to look at. It took me a few seconds to get the idea. Game 1 in that test is also worth mentioning as it is probably the most difficult in that bunch if you understand the rules of game 4.

I have found the question bank here pretty valuable when drilling LR especially since my mind doesn't recognize patterns as much when I use the material again in a different manner. Yes, I may recognize some of the ones I had difficulty with the fir…

Not really harder, no. They may be a bit more time intensive because a greater percentage of the answers require actual plug and play testing. There also does seem to be less spatial challenge in the exams though that may be making a comeback. Once …

It should be but in the horse/water analogy the water doesn't vault itself into the horse. The horse actually has to drink it. If you're doing THAT poorly then your issues are probably with reading first and foremost and in that case I think the gra…

In your shoes, no. If you're not perfect with sequencing and easy in/out games then you're doing yourself a disservice by wasting time on what are essentially assignments that test your spatial reasoning which you have admitted is not your strength.…

The first ten questions on the LR sections are usually easier than the others. You could break down your practice even more by attempting first 10s of different PTs and seeing how quickly you can get them done with 9+ correct. If you can start doing…
