I've been going through this for a few weeks now. Definitely feel like my mental health is going down the drain the longer it takes for me to get through this exam. You should definitely try to take some time, change your environment, and think it o…
several months! I spoke with a lot of professors and classmates before hand who told me to plan on working on my personal statement for 6 months. I took 8 months to perfect all the essays I wrote, and I definitely think it was worth it and made all …

I am ready to do this. I understand where I went wrong and want to use a new approach now that all I have to worry about is a part-time job. I guess my main question right now is how much time per day do you spend studying whi…
I would say that since these are not top 14 schools, then you should look at the region you want to practice in and try to figure out which one you like more. I think EDing at WashU should depend on what your GPA is. But that's a pretty good LSAT sc…
I'm aiming for a 175+ but would be happy with a 174 Though I should add that I work full time and I'm aiming for June '17. Sending out apps in fall '17.
I got the email for the gift card but had no idea what was going on until I signed into 7sage.
Discussion boards really do pay off! Not just in the info exchange but in my brand new boxing gloves from amazon Punching my way into 2017. Target: LSA…
Although I'm not a big fan of resolutions, I definitely think this is a good idea for a discussion post
My LSAT resolutions --
1) Much like yourself, I want to take my time and put in the effort to be more meticulous in my review and understand…
Also I should add that I've been in this position before, and sometimes even if you've finished the CC that you should try to look at supplementary material that might help explain the fundamentals more. I liked using the power score books I felt th…
Take a look at your PTs first, and make a list of your weaknesses. If I was in your position, I would then target those weaknesses either by drilling or just taking section tests, and then trying to improve on those weaknesses. Then, work your way b…

Is anyone willing to share their instructions outline? It would be helpful to have a guide as I prepare mine.
Did any of you include a paragraph or two explaining why you want to go to LS? Or was that information explained when y…
I don't think it really matters that letter writers make their address specific in their letters UNLESS you ask them to write a specific letter of recommendation to a school. In which case you can go to the school website or email someone in the adm…

Wow. I feel like I could have written your question. I have the exact same issue with the exception of the exercise.

On my diagnostic I missed 6-7 LR questions and was stuck missing that number for 2 months. Recently I've been able to get that down to -3 on average.
That's amazing. What's your study routine typically like, if you don't mind…

I'm also not really a fan of motivation. I tend to subscribe to the school of thought that says motivation is a fleeting feeling and the real answer to conquering long-term goals is discipline. That is something that if you cul…

1) Finding time to consistently prep every day while working full-time. (For a long time my prep has been inconsistent.)
This is my biggest struggle too! I have to really dedicate myself to it.
1) I've gotten better at being more organized and forming a more consistent schedule!
2) I'm learning what my mistakes are, and how to look for them
3) I'm seeing small and slow improvements, but when I do, they're that much sweeter
4) I'm learning…

Anyway, we have been elated and in such great moods ever since we made this decision.
This is how I feel when I research think about moving to the east coast I think this is a good sign. I think California would be really good …
I would go ahead and ask for a letter then! Seems alright. Definitely agree with what @"Cant Get Right" said about preparing properly for meeting with him and telling him you're in the early stages of your application.

Hey, another idea you might want to consider that it may not be question type specific issues, but could be flaw type issues within the questions.
Wait..yes! this is actually really helpful!! I think I'm going to start looking at q…

Also, it is not necessary that the last 5 questions are the hardest, sometimes question #2 can also be difficult.
ahhaa no i know! when i grade an exam i look at the question/stimulus/passage/etc difficulty ranking right next to it to …
When I take a timed section, I have trouble finishing the last few questions. When I grade it, I only get the level 5 difficulty questions wrong (usually missing an average of -6 per LR section ). The questions I miss are across the board in questio…
@cam is this straight studying? no distractions or working slow or anything like that? my problem is that I start to study and set up to study for 4 hours, but never get enough done in that time to feel like I was actually productive. What do you do…

If he's literally on his death bed then no you should not ask for a LOR and yes if you did ask for one it would be very insensitive.
I agree with this. Use your judgement to determine if it's appropriate to ask for a letter or n…
