Thank you all for the input!
@Pacifico You make a very strong point about keeping the "Why X" essay in your back pocket if ED doesn't work out. I think what I'll do is write a why us essay only for the schools I am most passionate about. From what …
@nicole.hopkins UVA. I may opt for UChicago ED instead if my October score is high enough. I am interested in both equally and have strong reasons for attending both. But like the article said, law schools may not care for the essay if I apply ED.
@LeoA1994 I would suggest buying them all honestly. While the question difficulty does not translate across all of the PTs, the old RCs are still great for getting used to the subject matter and language. They're also a great way to practice develo…
Yeah, I also skip a question if I can't readily discern the flaw in the argument. I find that it helps a lot to simply skip it and come back to it. Often times the question becomes a lot easier the second time around. This means that in the long run…
I felt that the two LR sections balanced themselves out. One LR section was definitely harder than the other, and RC and LG were fairly representative of the 70s.
I agree. The old RC sections are nowhere near as difficult as today's RC. If anything, the old RC sections are great for getting accustomed to and practicing the type of language and subject matter on the section, but the questions are far more stra…
Hey, don't get discouraged. I was in a bit of a slump myself for the first two months. I kept working at it and it is only until recently that everything has really started to click. I've gone from a 146 diagnostic to now constantly hitting the u…
I could not agree more with your two points. Determination and patience really do win out in the end. I started with an even more discouraging 146 after having read the Powerscore Bibles. However, after some persistent studying, I not only manage…
@joegotbored-1 Thanks for the suggestions! Unfortunately I haven't paid for the lessons on 7Sage (broke college student), but I do have access to all the practice tests so I'll work on those.
@Sapphire I started getting acquainted with the foundat…
I used to be in the same boat! It would take me 35 minutes to finish one game. The important thing is to just keep practicing. Look at JY's videos, they really help.
I watch moot court competitions to give me something to tangibly strive for. This has really incentivized me and puts things into perspective; If those law students can stand up there in front of judges/professors and dodge and weave their way thro…
On the contrary, my name has more to do with me subordinating the LSAT. Haha, I think your making an assumption with no substantive justification Al
And thanks to everyone for the input! justrandom I know how you feel! I'm currently in college …
Don't rush into anything. I started studying in mid-July and plan to take the December LSAT. I was originally planning to take the September exam, but I was nowhere near being ready. I went from a 147 on my first exam (after reading the Powerscor…
Sicsemper that makes a lot of sense. If there is a finite number of set up types and inferences, then that would make recycling games a really useful studying strategy. I was just not sure because so far I have only done a few games. Thanks to al…
Ok thank you! I will definitely apply this advice. However, is becoming more accurate and quicker on recycled games an indicator that I will also improve on new LG's? I feel that, while my timing and accuracy have improved after only having done …
I have recently wondered the same thing and I feel that maybe recycling a section from old PTs is a good way to not only accurately simulate test day with 5 sections, but also to help you review.
I have also found myself in the same dilemma having only started studying in late July and was planning on taking the September LSAT. However, I do not feel anywhere ready to take it and know for a fact that taking it in December will certainly res…
