Did anyone else have LG (23), LR (25), LR (25), LR (26), RC? If so, do you know which LR of the 25 LRs was the real one?

@"caffeine powered human" said: This is so interesting! I would love to hear more about this. Do you then read the question first for all of the remaining 15-16 questions and mark them by Powerful/Provable? Do you mark anything on the answer s…

I would recommend getting the Loophole LR. In that book, Ellen puts all of the LR questions into two categories based on the answer choices: Powerful and Provable. Once I went through the book and had a solid purchase on the information, I started s…

That is awesome @Nicolekh , I am happy for you. I really like what you said about how much of a privilege it is to be in this position. I have been working in law enforcement full-time, and then I go to the library to study for 4 hours M-Fri after w…

This isn’t a comprehensive answer, but what I have found to be of great use is the “Notes” text line. I use it to quickly document how I feel about each section right after I take it. So if my first section is LR, I write something like this in the …

A DIVA main, huh? To me it looks like this: “If teachers can enable their students to make their own decisions —> then teachers must have the power to make own decisions in classroom.” Because its not until they had the power that their studen…

If you are set on a T14 school, I would cancel your score and retake the test in October. You can still apply, and mention in an addendum that you will be taking the October test. You will still be able to get the advantages of applying early, and y…

I would use one of the online GPA calculators that give you your LSDAS GPA before trying to determine the LSAT score you'll need to gain entry into a T14 school. Some GPAs go up, and others (like mine) drop. Like @cooljon525 said, I have also seen p…

That is incredible! Congratulations, you are going to have so many interesting opportunities at your disposal. I am very happy for you! Please continue to visit the forums, your wisdom and advice will be greatly appreciated by people like me.

I think you keep the score, and retake. I don't know for certain, but I imagine that if you retake and only go up to a 168, that would still do more to help you than the retake would do to hurt you. I think what you want to avoid is a retake where y…

I do a lot better on the BR when I do it the day after I PT. It seems like the break gives me enough space to look at the questions from a different vantage. That being said, I don't know if that measures exactly what we want it to.
-
I agree that "often" is like "some". Another word I see on the LSAT quite a bit that reminds me of it is "many".

For me to get to -2-0 on games every time, I had to apply the method outlined in the CC. I would print off the game (usually all four of a given test) and measure the time it took me to answer all of the questions on a given game. Then I would write…

For situations like this, I have found lawschoolnumbers.com incredibly valuable since many of the people who were accepted/rejected to a given school list, in their profile, their soft factors, addendum type, GPA trends, and a host of other data. I …

Being nervous about it is normal, but I would definitely recommend postponing your test if you don't think you'll be at your target score by that date. For me, the performance sheet from the disclosed test doesn't matter as much as the score. So if …

Speaking from personal experience, I would get LG down to -0. If you do that, you will start averaging about 167. After you get that taken care of, you can working on shaving points off the other two sections. If you want to be in the 170s, LG has t…

It is unfortunate that, in regards to atheism, we have to second guess whether or not sharing it will hurt our application. Even if it is well-written, ultimately we are at the mercy of the ones reviewing it. Good luck!

Before I opine, let me plead ignorance. I still have not written a personal statement, and I am even less cognizant of how they are weighed by the reviewers at various schools. This being said, my intuition is that something important would be lost …

I have a small moleskin journal, of sorts. I use it to track my progress statistically, and I make note of concepts I wish to employ on my next preptest. The stats pages are like LSAT Analytics, but they display the information with more depth. I tr…

I think you should take your time and go through the Core Curriculum and practice using the Blind Review method. I wouldn't take the LSAT again until your comfortably above the score you want, or you're consistently achieving the score you want in t…

Here is the Sam Harris guided meditation: https://7sage.com/lesson/winning-the-psychological-battle/

I like Sam Harris, and his school of thought regarding meditation. I think that JY linked some of his stuff in a former post. I'll have to look for it. Nonetheless, I am sure there is ample content on YouTube. I'll definitely checkout "Headspace".

@"Cant Get Right" Thank you! That is a really great idea. I definitely am going to do that. I think it will help to hold me accountable for my wrong answers. @"Jae Won Hur" That would be great!
-
Hey, thanks so much for all of the responses! It's helpful to know how you all approach it. I definitely will wait until after BR to grade my tests. I am slotted for June, hopefully I am around the mark by then, so I don't have to push it back.
-
I would say you should work on BR more. Even if it takes 2 hours, go over all the questions that you circle until you're 100% in the answer, and 100% confident that all the other answers are wrong. I think ultimately the only way to get faster is un…

Thanks for all the input guys, I will keep the score. At the very least it will show me how my performance is affected on test day.
-
Thanks for the reply! I keep switching back and forth between keeping it and canceling it. The school I am going to says that they take the highest score. However, when I met with the admissions lady, she went out of her way to say that they will lo…
