PT 31, Game 2: the legally blonde game! It has lots of bi/multi-conditional statements and a lot of moving parts.
-
LG - RC - LR. @"Phoebe E" I was getting worried when I didn't see anyone else have the same sections as me! I thought the RC black hole passage was rough...but then again, this is usually my worst section. I second the games part: I didn't have a to…

How amazing!! Congrats!!

I feel these days it's hard to sort through the mess of the media. I try to read a articles online (I can't do CNN/Fox news on tv...too much yelling) from a variance of political leanings. I do this for two reasons: I like to hear opinions other tha…

I'v also received info about University of Maryland, private Southern California schools (they're doing a combined one), and University of San Diego.

I definitely have a more laid back approach to waking up my brain, but I think it's a really solid idea. I work out and meditate before I study because I feel that it wakes me up in a similar way to studying and so the transition feels less abrupt. …

@poppyflower I don't believe you're allowed to leave the room once you've started your room check, so I would just bring a mirror if you can.

Hey! I have felt a lot of similar anxiety leading up to the test (I'm taking it Sunday), and I've found that walking my dog has been a form of meditation. I've found that when I'm walking, I very easily forget about the LSAT because I'm paying atten…

Congrats on Cornell, and thanks for the great advice!
-
Hey! I'm not a high scorer by any means, but I've been able to get my LG to around -2 most of the time. I did this simply by doing games over and over again. I think the repetition really helps you see patterns and recognize when you've maybe missed…

Also, I can tell you from personal experience, sometimes you just have a tough day. It may be hard to focus, or there's some super loud buzzing noise in the background, or it's been a tough week at work and your down. It's just one score and you can…

Yes, I have experienced fluctuations. When I have a major fluctuation (up or down) I usually take a look at how hard each section was rated in the analytics section. 9 out of 10 times in my case it was related to having a super hard or super easy se…

Interested! Especially in how to improve in RC.

I am interested!

Hey! I'm a recruiter and I see both things happen all the time. While I personally understand your career goals (and can relate when someone brings this up when I interview them), it's because I also have that aspiration. However, I've worked with m…

I've heard midnight as well. I've also read on multiple sites that they close on midnight of the last day they're open.
-
@errrrr1452 I started out the same place as you! I struggled when I would only tackle one part of the test for too long and would neglect the other sections. I second what @AwokenNova said: LG is the easiest place to improve on, and repetition is ke…

@VerdantZephyr I totally understand. I'm looking at SoCal schools because my husband and I are trying to settle down there and he has orders to be stationed there for the next 4 years. Cost of living is definitely high! As for Boston and Chicago: th…

This is awesome, thanks!
-
I do the same thing sometimes, so I've just recently started keeping a wrong answer journal and forcing myself to answer why I'm getting them wrong, not just saying "I misread it/read it wrong." I've heard that this helps!
-
I've never heard of what you're describing--that sounds insane! The highest I heard for a starting score were 1) a friend of mine who started with a 162, but this was after he had taken the GMAT , and had been studying for the GMAT for 4 months, and…
-
Maybe try meditation? That's really help me get my mind right before taking a test. It also helps me focus when I start to feel the mental fatigue.
-
Are there any splitters here that have received admission to SoCal schools??
-
@99thPercentileOrDieTryin we have very similar stats! It's good to hear that you are in at some great schools. Being a splitter is so scary! I had to take a bunch of non-major calculus-based courses for my scholarship and it tanked my undergrad GPA …
-
@OneFortyDotSix thanks for the specific advice! I've held seven positions in six years (I'm military, and we have "collateral" duties (aka side projects/jobs) in addition to main jobs, which add up to be a lot. Plus, some of these things take some e…

Just listened to the Thinking LSAT podcast that came out today, and apparently a bunch of people wrote into the show about this same experience...so sad! I'm so sorry!
-
It was the same for me too: I scored lower than I normally do, which I believe is because RC is my lowest score, and was weighted heavier than in my practice tests. I scored 4 points lower than my average. Also, the score preview is only for first t…

I'm not in my fourties, but I am older than your average applicant (I'll be 30 when I begin IL, and I'm applying this fall). I started out with a diagnostic of a 143, and right now I'm PTing consistently at the 158-160 mark, although I'm trying to …

I think you do it a week or so before the actual test date. Does anyone's test on LSAC still say their test center instead of LSAT Flex? I opted in almost three weeks ago but it's not changing.

@jugolo96 what is the Pacifico Method?
