@UsernameChange haha i think interviewee is indeed a word! yeah i saw that on TLS... hope it is that! sounds more relaxed i guess??
-
@kennedybj i didn't even think about that.... they all said waiting is the hardest part, and now i understand. but at least there is more certainty???
-
omg. my heart.

Sweeeeeeet

Wow congratulations!!!!
-
Hey, I totally feel you. I had a really bad anxiety attack the first time I took it in June. I completely froze for a good 5 minutes and then I let that ruin everything. My head was cloudy the entire time I took it. But this time in December was so …

@"GSU Hopeful" yeah I tried chamomile tea + honey yesterday before bed and it may have helped! Slept soundly yesterday. But I had to wear myself out a lot during the day too.
-
Thank you so much. This is so encouraging
-
Exercise!!! Go for a run or go to the gym. That has worked so well at knocking me out at night. Also drinking tea helps me a lot. Chamomile or bedtime tea. And in general, don't be afraid to get your mind off of the LSAT! Hang out with friends, go …

Thanks for that analysis @allison.gill.sanford! I think that makes a lot of sense. Do you think it's true that you can "get by" with the older PTs with less stringent logic, and that's why the newer ones feel harder? Excited to review with you!!
-
@chris.dp3 I felt that way too, I just couldn't make sense of what some of the stimuli/answer choices were saying. Sometimes I would be looking for one type of answer, but none of the ACs had what I was looking for, and I missed something subtle. I …

Just curious, by school do you mean undergrad or a master's? That's a lot on your plate! I think full-time work and LSAT is one thing and can be managed, but going to school and taking on the LSAT seems difficult to handle. I personally would have h…

I thought PT 75 was really hard. I did much worse on the LR sections than usual. I'm still trying to figure out why exactly... I think the wording of the questions and the answer choices were hard for me to process. So I'm going over it again and ag…

In addition, is it better to warm-up right before you get into the test center? Or is warming up at some point before you leave your house good enough? Dunno if it matters, but in case it does...

I feel nervous but also excited! I've been studying for over a year, so I know what you mean. I also took it before, and the nerves really messed me up the first time. In addition to taking PTs and thorough, thorough BR... honestly, I think the bes…

Hey @shaydamilani, I feel your pain! RC has been a struggle for me. Are you consistently focusing on reading for structure and have you tried the memory method? How are your BR scores for RC? If you find your BR scores are high, then you're probabl…

So much congrats!!!!
-
hey @knringrose ! yeah i live in seattle. i'm PM you i am taking the December test, but we can see if we have any mutual PT plans in the near future!
-
@PMLSAT83 i'll be there for B!
-
@nye8870 I like that! It's a light at the end of a long dark tunnel of PT, BR, & repeat as necessary... and constantly troubleshooting what is going wrong during real time.
-
Happy Veterans Day!! Thank you all so much.
-
That doesn't sound like a legitimate break If you really go cold turkey for a few days or more, you will be surprised how grateful your brain will be! But I do agree that working on fundamentals is very important. Everything builds from there. Do …

@"J.H. Song" As we all know, it's a good indicator of what law schools you can get into, which affects what kind of jobs you'll get after. But it's definitely not a necessary predictor of how good of a lawyer you will be. I think there are certain…

I think this will be a continuing side effect when we become lawyers!
-
I work full-time and I've been studying the LSAT for over a year now (took June, preparing now for Dec retake). I find the most effective study time is in the morning, and I also sometimes drill at lunch. But after work my brain is useless, so I use…

The Trainer does this somewhat--it categorizes flaws into 3 broad groups. And the Trainer really helps train your brain to identify flaws even when it's not required by the question stem. Definitely helps to understand each type of flaw better!

@nbrick11 said: Also, the fact that I got a 180 means I did really well on the LSAT. It doesn’t mean I’ll make an excellent lawyer, that I’m a genius, or anything outside of the world of admissions. Through personal experience I know a woman who go…

The LSAT Trainer written by Mike Kim (co-creator of Manhattan Prep curriculum) http://www.thelsattrainer.com/ Super awesome book. Helped me understand more the big picture ideas especially for LR & RC. I did not use the LG strategies in the Tra…

Yes, process of elimination is key! I don't know if it's necessarily training yourself to look for incorrect answers, but more so becoming confident in eliminating the incorrect answers. You also want to look for the correct answer, of course. Know …

thanks for sharing @nbrick11 ! i've been hearing from so many people--don't push any more when you're feeling fatigued. rest. exercise. take time away from the test. i'm actively incorporating this into my LSAT prep, and focusing on the process and…
