@"spoopy.." said: @hawaiihi Thank you for the master spreadsheet! On the sheets in the tracker for LR and RC, what is the PT'd column used for? Hi! It's to distinguish whether or not I did a section as a stand-alone or as part of a PT.

One way that I job searched, did school full-time, including writing my thesis, and studied for the LSAT involved lots and lots of spreadsheets and tracking. I had a spreadsheet for job searching, which helped me to keep track of my progress. I set…

I agree with @"Leah M B" --- the @Pacifico method is fantastic and it's how I structured my fool-proofing, with a few of my own adjustments (you can find it here: https://7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/2737/logic-games-attack-strategy/p1) For ex…

Yale! (Speaking of which, I actually need to get my act together and send the paperwork in....)

I was DEVASTATED when I scored only one point higher than my first take on my second take. I didn't end up taking a third time, though, so I don't have much advice there. Also, a reminder that a 3 point drop isn't necessarily a drop, either, it's wi…

Happy that keeping track of all the LR questions and going through the thought process helped! Congratulations on all your success, you should be proud!
-
I think there are two things that really helped me. 1) Writing out the explanations for every LR question I got wrong, explaining why the correct answer was correct and why the others weren't (especially important when I was down to two answers and…

I actually think putting it on the desk is preferable! It's much easier to glance at mid test that way.

I will step in on the side of working a full-time job + studying (which is what I did) immediately after graduation. I worked full time at a policy nonprofit, and I studied whenever I could-----on my train commute, when I got home, and on weekends. …

@LSATcantwin said: I took a lot of my PT's at a public library so I could adapt to the crying children and background talking - I found this to be helpful. Agreed with this. I once took a whole PT on a plane, and actually did OK. I also di…

I really think it depends on your goals. If you wanted to do something international-related, for example, or to work in politics, I'd say GULC. But for BigLaw, it does seem like Fordham and BU have good BigLaw outcomes. They also have a leg-up ove…

Congratulations! You had an incredible cycle, and should be so proud. (Also, I interviewed HLS in Feb and got waitlisted, so you're doing better than me by hanging in there!) Good luck in 1L. Maybe one day all of our lawyer paths will cross!

@Veteranmom said: This is amazing! Can I ask what your diagnostic score was? I got a 165 on my diagnostic, which I know is kind of high, but I still feel really strongly that the strategy I used--including a lot of the tips above, which were…

@venalexb said: Hi .. Congrats! I am so impressed. Could I speak with you on a personal note... need some advise. Sure! Feel free to message me privately.

@Pi031415 said: I’m sorry but I’m so confused. How did you take the lsat feb and July 2019? I thought the historically scheduled February test was in March this year and we haven’t even gotten to July 2019 🤯 OH! My bad. I mean that I took th…

@Pi031415 said: Did you start studying in January 2018? Actually December 2017, the day after Christmas. Took the test in February 2018 (171) and then in July 2018 (172, lol). Edited: Had the years all wrong

@deenabdalla3 said: Do you mind writing out some sample RC & LR explanations for your foolproofing? Congrats on the score!! Sure, here's an example (details changed): LR: The correct answer is (B). The first sentence of the passage says…

I've heard from Yale alumns now doing AMAZING work in the public sector---literally many who took the exact path you describe of clerking, private, then public. It really seems like the opportunities at Yale are vast, especially for a few key reason…

Science or statistics classes I find to actually be super helpful. In designing experiments, you often come across a lot of this kind of logic. Different from the usual philosophy answer but could still be useful!

LOL, I'm in the same place as your friend. They admitted a ton of people today, and the April 1 "deadline" for hearing a decision is ticking closer. Oh well!

@aisling said: I'm practicing with a ballpoint pen (shudder) since it seems like that's what we'll have with the digital LSAT (I'm taking in September.) I did all my foolproofing with a ballpoint pen, even though I took the paper LSAT! I act…
-
Good tip! Personally, I avoided making a million copies by only printing out one copy of each game and doing my work on a separate sheet of paper. Not everyone's cup of tea but it worked for me!

@MissChanandler said: Most applications don't open until at least the middle of September, so June puts you in a pretty good place. Yeah, you can't really even apply between March-June for most schools. And @MissChanandler is right. I took t…

What was your score breakdown, @tayanthony31 ?

@"Better every day" said: it’s just an all around miserable experience plus a waste of money. I really want to emphasize to counter people who are saying to take it as many times as you want. The test experience is all day, can be exhausting…

Hi! I would recommend this post on a good LG attack strategy: https://7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/2737/logic-games-attack-strategy/p1 What most people do here, as did I, is follow a foolproofing strategy like the above in which you do individ…

@DivineRaze said: @hawaiihi I will definitely be giving this a try! Thank you!! Yes!! It's especially great to get your foolproofing in. And also, BTW, I foolproofed EVERY game that I couldn't get -0 on or couldn't finish in time, not just f…

Ooh, I can't say for sure, but it's very possible it affected the reader's ability which is why they always say not to make any marks besides bubbling in. (For the future, you could do what I do--write the # of all the questions I'm concerned about …
