I think the fact that you were volunteering during this time excuses you for the need for an addendum. If you were doing nothing during this period besides LSAT study, it may have been a good idea. But given your prior work experience and the fact t…

@LSAT_Wrecker That seems like a really great strategy...I think I'm going to do the same and just start studying now with the intention to retake only if the schools I've been admitted/WLed at give me the green light on a better LSAT = more $$$ or b…

Texas gives in-state tuition and a living stipend for out of state ED applicants, equivalent to a $54,408 total scholarship. I think they also give a $10k/year stipend for TX residents who apply ED. Berkeley guarantees $60k total in scholarships fo…

The passages are not really all that different (other than lack of the newer comparative reading passages). The main difference lies in what the questions are testing for. Current LSATs tend to test a high-level, broader understanding of the passage…

That will be a very tough jump to make in this time frame. It may be doable, but you would be doing yourself a huge favor by delaying for September or November. For what it's worth, I made a 7 point increase between my December and February tests la…

Started with the Bible and saw my RC average drop from -2/-3 before down to -4/-5 after reading it. Transitioned to 7Sage + Trainer and saw my RC average on PTs go up to -0/-1, which held true on the real test. Powerscore just promotes an unrealis…

While the example you've given is clearly the most fundamental form of conditional logic you will encounter, I think you'll find that it's well worth it to invest in making the more complex formal logic phrases seem like second nature too. It gets w…

Sorry I haven't been able to join in on the first two meetings. I'll see you all next week!

It won't hurt you to keep the score on record, especially if it ends up being higher than your first attempt, which sounds likely anyway, given your PT improvement. You can establish a clear upward trend with your third take, which will hopefully be…

You're on an LSAT forum. I have a feeling you know what the resounding answer here will be... With that said, take the LSAT. It's still the status quo. Almost everyone matriculating at top schools is relying on the LSAT even though a few schools ar…

Maybe a little too cliché, but it's definitely Thurgood Marshall for me. I'm currently reading Devil in the Grove, and it is astounding to hear the kind of extreme personal danger and systematic adversity he had to knowingly confront every single d…

@"David Bennett" said: Ink and paper are more expensive than the real thing haha> @LastLSAT in my situation, I've actually got free ink and paper at my disposal so I think I'll print it. I think I recall J.Y saying doing the …

I skipped straight to the LG and RC sections, but I already had a good background in LR from the Trainer and Powerscore prior to 7Sage. In retrospect, I wish I had done it in order (and only used 7Sage). It didn't hurt me since I already had solid d…

I didn't print anything other than answer sheets (I just bought the official LSAC test books). Ink and paper are more expensive than the real thing haha. When foolproofing PT 1-35 LGs, I just wrote everything down in regular notebooks and kept trac…

@Hamaseh_S said: Has anyone taken essential oils, crystals, etc into the test center? It's not prohibited but I feel like the list I'm looking at is pretty short... Please don't take highly scented items (does this apply to essential oils?) …

Go to the test centers themselves and scout them out. It varies big time, dependent on the location. I made the mistake of not checking out my test room in person the 1st time (at my undergrad campus), assuming that LSAC would standardize desk spac…

Taking 1 PT a day is definitely counterproductive. I did that for months before my 1st attempt, averaging ~174, and got mid-160s on test day. Why? Burn-out, plain and simple. I only took 1 more PT total between my 1st and 2nd attempt, but ended up …

@asr226 Congrats on managing to balance so much in undergrad and in your career! That will definitely help you out, but sounds like you're right to step back and focus on the LSAT for a while. Get your score up to your target schools' medians and I'…

@"Logic Gainz" said: @CRISTINA.PHIPPS I had a solid offer too, but no scholarship offers. I'm actually still dangling my feet on the fence about going, but as of now, I'm retaking in July and set to reapply this coming cycle. When did you ap…

@"CRISTINA.PHIPPS" said: I decided to sit out this cycle after being waitlisted by my target school. I’m hoping that if I can raise my lsat score a few points (either this July or September) my re-applying will further display my interest in t…

If you're worried about how this comes across, you could just sign her up for a tour as a prospective student (if she isn't obviously too young of course). The law school will never know the difference. I've seen people do this with their SOs or fri…

I agree with @"surfy surf" that you're better off just spending the money on extra printed practice materials. I used 7Sage, the LSAT Trainer, and PowerScore. In the end, I definitely could have gotten away with 7Sage alone and still achieved my goa…

I'd love to get in on this as well, @keets993
