  • @"Nilesh S" @jdawg113 Just took my first PT since the test on the 6th of December. Scored a 167, lol. Going to blind review it now. So it doesn't look like I lost much in 3+ months of no studying, and I already know some of the mistakes I made. Had…
  • @christopherblair "No one wants to let someone in just to see them fail." Well, I'm not sure if conditional scholarships make law schools much money if at least some people aren't failing. But I am in a very cynical mood about non elite law schools …
  • Positive motivation is really good. Think about your dream school and how happy you will be to go there. Read about it in your free time. I like to go on runs and just think. Or hike to places where there aren't many people and just sit. Or walk the…
  • @"Nilesh S" based of that I'd be better off at BC. They gave me75k compared to GWU with the 60k. I also got 90k from WUSTL, but I'm not sure I want to practice in that region. Do you think any of them would consider a deferral?
  • @"Nilesh S" @jdawg113 Yea, I'll redo a PT soon to see what my score is like 4 months since the actual test. I've got a real shot of getting off the waitlist at Cornell. My numbers stack up well. Still retake? Or does it become a harder choice the…
  • @jdawg113 @"Nilesh S" Leaning heavily towards a retake. I talked with my partner about this today. I tried to be honest with myself... if I retook the test would I be able to improve upon the 167? Yup. I can. And when you put it like that, can I s…
  • @"Nilesh S" Yea, I did get into BC with money, but it still ends up being quite a large debt after 3 years. My big thing right now is I don't mind taking on the debt with decent job prospects at the end, but the truth is it is GRIM out there. I thin…
  • @"Nilesh S" First of all Congratulations! Waitlisted at GULC and Cornell, which also tells me above them is unlikely... did they give you any money? And I started sending applications in early January, so pretty late compared to a lot of people. T…
  • I did okay.
  • @licknee10 @pjanderson5 it took a while. 20+ PTs in or so. The truth is one test I just realized i was making obvious mistakes again and again and what helped was doing things JY says to do. I wrote down on the back of the answer sheet a bunch of st…
  • Sorry! Not trying to bother anyone but i just want to share some exciting news! I scored a 172 on a PT today I'm so happy. I never thought I'd score that high on a PT! If you are like what I was and struggling on a few tests in a row maybe just…
  • Mike of every ethnicity and genre under the sun. He seems so familiar to us at this point. Yet, the next LSAT he will inevitably show us how he can distinguish himself from other Mongolian American limerick poets. Thanks for the post
  • A few things I have found that help me: 1. Fake your interest. I started doing that and it really helped me stay at -3 to -6 more consistently. Before I was butchering RC at -8 or more. It's still my weakest section, but every little bit helps. 2.…
  • You can't read too much into a test result when you take it at the end of a full day of studying. I took 2 tests back to back once before as endurance training and my score dropped significantly on the second one. I think it is to be expected. RC i…
  • If you aren't getting perfect LGs then review all of them using the fool proof method. You must skip questions that take up time in LR. Identify these question types and you will get to 160. If you waste 6 mins on a PF question 15 and don't get to…
  • I took test 70 today. I found the logic games much harder so I will be dedicating some time to reviewing newer harder logic games. I'm not getting perfect LG sections anymore like I was in the 40s and early 50s. The RC seemed fine. My score went b…
  • @synergy_101 Yup, I am jumping up to them soon. I was just trying to work through as many lower tests as possible. @blah170blah Not looking forward to the ball busting games... I'm pretty good at making inferences but I struggle on unfamiliar setup…
  • 50, 51, 52 = 165+ 53 = 159, 54 = 160 Could be mental or physical fatigue, could be mental confidence. I did do a super hard workout yesterday now that I think about it. I thought it would help. I did once ( maybe 3 weeks ago) take 2 tests on the …
  • Follow the lessons on this site for Logic games and in a few weeks you will be golden. Blind review for LR is essential to improving. Reading comprehension.... I'm not sure what the best method for improvement is but I think taking your time on the …
  • Did the same thing. Focused on NA, SA, and PSA for a whole day. Next test jumped from 161 to 165. Focused on some RC studying for a day and next test jumped to 167. Just keep hammering your weaknesses. Im still working on RC personally hoping to squ…
  • No word on RC? I'm getting too many wrong on that section...
  • I agree it is ideal to take it on paper. I just took 2 tests on the ipad and then the next day took it on paper. It just felt a lot easier to mark off right on the test. But the previous 2 days I had no access to a printer so the iPad was a good a…
  • I did it once or twice and found that I looked closer at the questions that I was blind reviewing. I knew I had a certain number wrong, so I went looking for my mistakes more. I don't know if that is a good thing or a bad thing really, but it did ca…
  • I'm mixing it up. It's not too odd to take a test with an iPad, but I'll be sure to do plenty more with good old paper print outs. btw, it is harder with the ipad since I don't physically cross off the answer choices I eliminate.
  • You guys wait until after I leave Korea to do this I didn't even know there were 7Sagers in Korea.
  • If you don't feel you are ready, don't take the test.
  • I use the program CCleaner every once in a while for clearing cookies among other basic PC maintenance tasks. https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner I also was getting the bad gateway but not anymore.
