  • I would agree with Kyle; this is one of my stronger areas so it will not require nearly as much preparation. Having said that, I believe it is good practice to see how they expect it structured and to practice a few 2 page essays based on the criter…
    in How are you preparing for writing section? Comment by Mark Robin June 2013
  • Ironically I posted the very same question earlier yesterday and withdrew my June 10th because I did not feel fully prepared. The advice I was given, if I may paraphrase, was that unless you feel absolutely ready and you've done the proctored timed…
    in Change test date or withdraw? Comment by Mark Robin May 2013
  • Thank you to all, I was leaning towards the withdraw anyway and after reviewing the commentary and my options, I withdrew this morning. And quite frankly, notwithstanding the loss of the fee, I feel much more relaxed knowing I have the time to do th…
    in Cancel, Withdraw, or Just Do it? Comment by Mark Robin May 2013
  • I must agree with J.Y, burning through tests really can be very counterproductive. After all what if you did the June test and got a score somewhat less than you need and rebooked a 2nd for Oct - then you wouldn't have any to work with.
    in 3 weeks to improve 10+ points (150s -to-> 165)? Comment by Mark Robin May 2013

    in How many points should we increase from our initial diagnostic to the second PT? Comment by Mark Robin May 2013
  • I would argue retaking is extremely valuable. First, from other forums, it is my understanding many students "burn through" all the PT's too quickly; they just go from one to the next but do not really understand why they missed questions so they do…
    in Retaking an old PT (a good idea?) Comment by Mark Robin May 2013
  • Never mind, LOL only later did it turn out to be a prank - my bad

  • Drats, I had read a blog on LSAT Blog on the demise of the LSAT only to discover it was an inside joke; sigh, wishful thinking
    in Things Harder Than the LSAT Comment by Mark Robin May 2013
  • I have the dubious distinction of having to take a very long train the same morning to do my exam at the University of Western Ontario (they didn't have any slots in Toronto); I would guess the best way to spend that time is, as you note, an easy ga…
