@ML_LSAT_Killa you seriously owe nothing to any law school unless you applied ED. I’m assuming you didn’t apply ED to your #1 choice and you didn’t ED your #2 choice either so you could just wait and see if choice #1 let’s you in and if they’d be wi…

@ccmart4 I’d say take it. If you’ve hit your goal score and your PTs vary within a few points of that, I’d take that to mean that you know the material, those couple of points in variation are normal. I think it’s a myth that you will for sure score…

@eastcoastdionne do you listen to the Thinking LSAT podcast? If not you should listen to episode 64 (it’s on Spotify) where they talk about inference questions in RC. Basically, they say that the way those “inference” q’s are worded in the question …

Retake. You’re so young, your GPA is so high and you have so much room for improvement in your LSAT score that I can’t imagine doing anything besides retaking. Waiting a year to start law school isn’t the end of the world. If you want to work in the…

@CourtneyMay said: Hi guys! So Ive noticed that after taking practiced LR sections, that 4 star necessary assumptions are one of my weaknesses. I was wondering if someone else had encountered this issue and how or what solution they took …
-
I think because LR is 50% of the test, it makes more sense to study that first since there’s just more to learn/more points to get and it takes time to master it. I can’t think of any specific disadvantage to studying LG first apart from the fact yo…

@CRLSUUUU said: @aleland13 Those are great advice!! I recently picked up boxing and it's helped a lot, i agree exercise can do wonders. And just to clarify, by deep dive you mean I should do a few sections first to get a feel of where I'm trip…

The LSAT trainer is amazing, but if LG is your main weakness, I don’t know how useful it’ll be for you. My main takeaways from the trainer for LG was to always make sure I spend enough time on my setup, notations, and timing strategies - 7sage foolp…

I love the trainer and highly recommend it. I started studying in late Sept only with the trainer and I improved to the high 160’s (167ish average, highest was a 169) and signed up for 7sage in January to fill in the gaps I felt I had keeping me fro…

@kpj744___ spotify has 2 awesome playlists that I use later in the day when I'm starting to get bored and need some music for studying - "chill lofi study beats" and "lo-fi beats" (i think you can also find something similar on youtube...) My boyfri…

I have a desk in my living room with all my LSAT books stacked on one corner and fresh flowers on the other (the flowers are a 'treat myself' for getting through another week of LSAT prep!) I also have a small corkboard above my desk where I pin up …

I’m down! I’m in California so we’d have to do Skype. I got my highest PT to a 169 with self studying with the LSAT trainer - I’m almost done with the CC and will be taking another PT to gauge if I’ve improved in the next week or so. I’m working to…

@"forest.dearing.2017" said: Alright, great to hear! I was tentatively thinking this group could review one PT a week together preferably later in the week depending on what people’s schedules look like. Given that we’re about 9 weeks out from…

Interested!

YES! I took it in December before I signed up for 7Sage so I’d be interested in doing BR now that I’ve learned some more! PM when you’re available and we can Skype?

Oof, that’s a rough predicament to be in. By applying early decision you’ve committed to attending Georgetown, regardless of what financial aid/scholarships they give you (if any). If I was you I’d call them up and ask them when you can expect notif…

@MissChanandler said: I think that it's possible to get a 170 but it's also possible that you'll get a 165 (and quite frankly, more likely). I would definitely not take AND BR a test every day. That's a recipe for burnout. Instead, do one or t…

Yes, once it expires you just reapply and go through their process again. A couple of years ago I had a waiver that expired in May and tried calling them to see if they'd extend it so I could take the June test and they just told me to reapply. You…

@lakish2010 @lordofsquirrels @angelshoes @xenonhexafluoro are all of y'all down to start off with a skype meetup to review one of the tests from PT 52-65ish on the 21st, 22nd, 26th, 27th or 28th of this month? I'm out of town until Jan 2 so can't d…

What’s helped with my timing was reviewing the LSAT Trainer’s final chapters on timing. For example, for logic games, I memorized the following numbers: 8/16/25, meaning when the clock hits 8 minutes I move on from game 1, move on from game 2 at 16 …

Chiming in because I’ve dealt/am dealing with this and have had some success balancing. For background: I work an incredibly demanding social justice-y job that requires more than 40 hours most weeks, and have taken the LSAT twice, once when I was …

I’m interested! Planning to take in January and am working my way through full PTs 62-81
