I would use standard APA format. Schools will be able to tell if you stretch the margins. My guess is that the system actually standardizes everything after you upload the documents. Either way, just try to shorten it a little. Use conjunctions, cut…

Oh, and you need to give them your LSAC number.

Hey! So after you log in, scroll down to "Credential Assembly Service (CAS)". Click "Manage Letters of Recommendation", then "Add/Edit My Recommenders". You will need to ask your recommender for some personal information (name, address, phone number…

@"Adam Hawks" right, but they can say that you're asking for too much.

10 points is easily 15 questions. If you're currently in the 140s or low 150s, this seems much more doable in two months than if you're already at 155+. It's going to be a rough ride, but make sure you take at least one full day off a week. Nothing …

@"Michaela.Pratt1" I'm sure they'd give you an accommodation. I'm not sure what type of accommodation that would be, but I would look online and see what people have asked for. Alternatively, talk to your neurologist and see if he/she has any ideas…

@"Adam Hawks" Assuming they have deemed the diagnosis/documentation as acceptable, the issue is not whether or not they have to accommodate you; the issue is whether or not you are asking for "reasonable accommodations". They don't have to give you …

This is the ADA's recommendation to LSAC: "Pain-Related Conditions and Chronic Medical Disorders (e.g., diabetes, seizures, fibromyalgia, gastrointestinal disorders, arthritis, back disorders which prevent sitting or standing for long periods). For…

You're right; the link is down. I tried looking for other websites with the same information, but I can't find it anywhere else.

Try underlining, circling, etc. It forces you to pay attention. It's not a long-term strategy, but it should help you for now until you get used to the process.

It's really, really normal to not do your best on your first PT after the CC. I cried after my first CC. My guess is that if you took another PT, you'd do better just because it's not your first try. However, I wouldn't suggest burning through PTs. …

@LivingThatLSATdream that's not true. The statistics have been published publicly.

10/10 would not recommend. It's not a fun way to start out the day, and it's not a good idea to take one after a full day of work. I always feel bad about myself when I do badly on a PT, and I'm much more likely to do badly when I'm exhausted. I wou…

Yes. Also, there is the slightly more advanced concept of recognizing additional rules (when applicable). For example, you may figure out that if you plug in B somewhere, you have to pair it with C. I think you should do that if you can. But if you …

Hi! Trying to protect copyrighted information as much as possible... Important stimulus information: providing consumers with fairly priced things is a consistent aspect of sales in large businesses. While that is happening, there are still times wh…

Hi! I have been through this process. First, it is extraordinarily difficult to get 100% extra time. I would not count on that, nor would I want it. It requires an incredible amount of stamina to take a 7-hour test (plus the beginning bubble filling…

So if you put all of the scores on a line in order, the median is the middle number. For example: the median of numbers 1, 2, 5, 6, 7 is 5. However, average (mean) score is 4.2. To echo @tekken1225, it can be misleading based on the number of outlie…

I really buckled down on LG while I was learning it. I spent probably 40 hours fool-proofing right after, too. I did nothing else in that time. I'm going to come back to it again before the March test.

I think you'd really have to show that you identified a need, and that the gym was created to be a resource for everyone. However, I'm not really sure how you'd turn that into a PS. I would purchase the admissions course for $10 and watch those vide…

I just like tagging @"David.Busis" in these questions so I don't have to pretend to know anything about admissions.
-
If you can waive your right, do it. It definitely matters.
-
I'm kind of in the same position as you, where I've gone -4 LR section 1 and -7 LR section 2 on my last two PTs, and -4/-8 the time before. I have actually put a pause on PTing so that I can tackle the core issues here. I'm working on nailing specif…

@"surfy surf" I don't think that your PS or resume has to be show to your path to becoming an attorney. If you can make your reason into a PS, that's great and is a solid time-saver for when schools require essays about that. But if you can make a b…

What was the purpose of the gym? Was it for your personal use or communal use? How did it affect you and others?
-
If you don't mind sharing, how are you scoring in each section? Or what are the discrepancies like? If you're going -10 in RC and -5 in the other sections, it's clear where your focus needs to be. If you're -10 in RC and -8 in the other sections, st…

I would be hesitant to use all of the PTs because you never know if you're going to retake the LSAT. If you don't get the score you want or have to delay for a reason out of your control, you don't want to run out of PTs. That being said, do a mix o…

I'm basically in the same situation with work being my only "extra-curricular". Technically, I was part of a club, but I was pretty inactive in it. Because of my job, I have 4 years of management experience, which is great in a different way. I have…

My dad didn't go to an ivy and still got a C on an exam he got a 95 on lol. That just further speaks to the fact that every school is different. That's why the LSAT is so much more important than GPA.
-
@"Tatyana L." I'm sure you could find a way to make a great PS out of it, as long as it focuses on you and not the general situation our country is in.
-
I'm in the same boat as you. I have a 3.80 GPA but looking at schools in the top 20-30. The median GPA for these schools is about 3.5-3.65, and the median LSAT score is about 163-165. So I figure I can get into one of those schools with a point or t…
