If you're still interested in chatting with someone about Allard, feel free to send me a message. I'm nearing the end of my 1L year at the school.

Joining @"Michael.Cinco" and @Guillaume at Allard!

Way to go, @keets993 ! Couldn't have asked for a better sounding board over the past (Heck!) 1.5 years of studying. Hopefully we'll bump into each other...either in Toronto or at the Law Games sometime.
-
Way to go, Man! You've been a huge support to this community.
-
Just got it!

My suspicion is that the curve will be closer to a -9/-10.

@LCMama2017 If you're using an iPhone, then what @Alex and @SLP_futureJD I think would work well. If you'd don't have a gooseneck, then I've done the same set-up as @Alex , using books, and it seems to do the trick.
-
@LCMama2017 What sort of recording device do you have available?
-
@Bamboosprout , my strategy is slightly different for PR and PF questions...is there one in particular that's proving an issue?
-
I'm not sure I understand how you're using the "~", given that you use "no" as the negative in the first statement. But, the contrapositive of "no A are B" (A -->/B) is "no B are A" (B-->/A) Hope that helps!

@"Pam Beesly" Have you checked out the powerpoint slides from the RC Workshop that was hosted by Daniel S.? (https://www.dropbox.com/sh/8rtwtswbq4kspt2/AABiG7z29wB0mXcZO5zE8buTa?dl=0) Much like LR and LG, a helpful way of attacking passages is havi…
-
@keets993 It's been an honor.
-
I did PT77 on Saturday, and the passages seemed pretty standard. But, there were definitely a large number of tempting trap answers, and answers that required a good understanding of the overall structure of the whole passage in order to pick up on …
-
Are you referring to the test in general or specifically the RC?
-
Do you record yourself? One of the biggest challenges I've faced with RC is being comfortable with moving on at a lower level of confidence than either LG or LR. Watching video footage is especially potent for revealing how much time is wasted on tr…

I would direct you toward @eRetaker 's comment, along with the suggestion that you don't think to much about timelines until after you've completed the CC. Sometimes the movements is gradual from a 140 to a 170, other times it can have a few jumps a…

Of course, the concern with studying too much is the ever-present risk of burnout. In my experience, limiting one's prep should be measured less by how many hours are being spent studying and more by how well you are able to maintain your concentrat…

@"Rigid Designator" & @teamteamvicster , thanks for the comments. I also chatted with a couple of the proffs at the school where I work, and they agreed with you guys--go for someone who has experience on which to draw. @BreannaE , ah...that …

I work full time, so 3hrs/day seems to be a good fit for me.
-
Thanks @"David.Busis" and @"Leah M B" ! Must say, considering that I haven't written a nice personal narrative piece in a long time, this is kinda disappointing. Oh well, just keep playing the game.
-
@"Leah M B" said: For clarity, are you only applying to Canadian schools? I think this answer may be different for schools in the US vs. Canada. Nice catch! Yes, only Canadian schools.
-
Oh my gosh! I feel like such a weirdo after reading these comments. On average, I go through about 12-13 pencils per test. I sit down with at least 16, and I only have a few on my unused pile by the end. I grab a sharp pencil at the beginning of eac…

Looking forward to it!!!

Generally, I'd say go for the less busy testing facility. My mind was wandering similar places as yours leading up to last Saturday. The facility in my home city (Winnipeg, POP: 685,000) was full when I registered, so I ended up writing in a neighb…

Thanks for the video, @BinghamtonDave ! Well worth the watch.
-
Proud to have my name among the potential November retakers.
-
Way to go, Man! I just returned back to the forum after a couple weeks off, and it was pure joy to read this post.
-
Sorry, everyone! I'll have to miss this week...family reunion in Vancouver!
-
Nicely done, @ChaimtheGreat !
