Short answer. "Any" law school? Yes, there's always a chance. It just depends on how much money you want to spend on applications. Advice that most everyone will be telling you? You need to raise that LSAT score... Like, 140 is way below the floor …

Biggest thing that helped me: read dense academic materials about topics you do poorly in.

You negate by adding a "not." I find it most useful to just recite out loud a comeback in a sassy manner. You'll probably intuitively be able to figure out where to place the negation. It's a relatively natural process. At least for me... So, the …

You should still apply if you're willing to spend the money. Your graduate GPA won't really matter, so you'll be at or below the GPA "floor" for most schools. However, if you have a good addendum, and you have an LSAT score that's above the school's…

I took the PTs in random order, so I tend to agree that the tests' difficulty hasn't changed overall. Some tests are easier than others, but I never noticed a trend of, "Oh, every time I take a test in the 80s, my score is much lower than the tests …

Have you finished reading all those books, or are you still working on them? When I first started, I focused just on the basics and would spend every day just reading from the texts. It took me around 2 to 3 weeks to finish one book. But pretty much…

I think you should postpone. If you added a poll, I think most others would agree... There's not much time for you to get acclimated to timing, in my opinion, if the difference is so stark.

Well, if you consider a range of +/– 5 to be stable, then I guess that's stabilized... But when I was scoring in the 160s, my scores were a lot more stable, as in predictable. I kind of thought that trend would continue as my score went up, but the …

At the higher end, my scores had a variance that was quite large. ~10 points. I actually think it's good to see variance, since it gives you a more realistic range of what you can expect to score. My scores resemble a stock market more than a strai…

For me, I would say it depends on how quickly you are covering new materials. I started solidly hitting the high 160s after I had finished reading 3 different series on the LSAT and built up my foundation through learning the different perspectives …

I think it’ll just be understood as natural variance. I wouldn’t write an addendum unless it were something compelling, otherwise I hear that admissions officers don’t like reading “filler” paperwork.

Questions I got wrong Questions I flagged Questions where I only got the right answer on blind review Questions where I changed to the wrong answer on blind review Those were the only questions whose videos I watched. Watching videos for right a…

If you’ve been able to hit 155 before, then I think it’s pretty likely. The time frame is short, but there’s not much information about why you got a 145 in the first place. If it’s because of anxiety, or was just a one-off thing, then I’d say you h…

Statistically, if you apply to 20 schools with a 5% to 15% chance of acceptance, you have between a 64% to 96% chance of getting into at least one of them. That's assuming randomness, of course. So, I'd say the platitude, "There's always the possib…

Mine was LG, LR, RC, RC, LR LG was okay. I thought the last game was reminiscent of the city game with climate, friendliness, and location. LR 1 was simple enough. I got through all the questions with plenty of time to spare. The question about ra…

I started to purposely seek out reading materials and watching videos related to the passages that I know I do badly on: philosophy and art history. Coincidentally, or maybe not, my RC score has improved since then. I'm more familiar with how art hi…

Mine actually increased by 0.01 but my school's GPA is also on a 4.0 scale. So not very different.

I'd say there's still some other options for you to consider. Uber. Or rent a car for a day. Or get someone else to rent a car for you. Or borrow someone else's car.

For main point (and also main purpose) questions, I find that there will typically be a trap answer that talks about the last paragraph. For instance, the passage as a whole will talk about strengths and weaknesses, but the last paragraph will menti…
-
I think I can relate. My performance on all the sections is actually quite even? Like, I used to think I had a strongest section, but the average amount of questions I get wrong is actually quite consistent across RC, LG, and LR. I mean, sure, I thi…
-
Yeah, I agree. It's probably just being sorted and processed. I remember how long everything took on the LSAC just to get some documents added to my account. The LSAC has to do its thing, and then Harvard has to do its thing. I wouldn't worry too mu…

I think past tense or present tense isn't that much of a big deal? To me, I think it's just a tone that you feel more comfortable writing in. On resumes, the advice is to write in present if it's something that is still relevant, or past if it's not…

@T.Burton Yeah, I think you're right that there's a discrepancy between how the real world uses the phrase "only requirement" versus how it would play out in a logically consistent world. In real life, some parents say to their kids, "The only thin…

I decided to do some calculations, assuming 100 questions and complete randomness: The probability you get exactly 20 correct is 9.9% The probability that you will get at least 20 correct is 55.9% The probability you get 0 correct is 2.037036e-10…
-
There's always the chance that you get every question wrong. Just because it's improbable doesn't mean it's impossible. But there may be people who get 0 correct. Someone who guesses on a few questions and gives up. Someone who faints before taking…

Required to join Army (RA) —> Man (M) M —> RA "Takes for granted that solely being a man is necessary for being required to join the army.” = Assumes that: only M is a NC for RA Which is the original conundrum. Hmm,…

When discussing an answer choice about the converse being wrong, I feel like I more commonly see something like, "Confuses something that is necessary with something that is sufficient." Or something like, "Mistakes something that is needed for a re…
