  • For LR I do every page as well. But for games or passages I bubble in at the end of the game/passage. If you do happen to missbubble (say by rushing and either not colouring within the lines or not fully filling it in) you can tell them to mark it …
  • Stimulus says: Boss shouldn't tell them what to do. They should just decide themselves. D is too extreme. It says the employees doing the work know best what decisions to make. But do they? How do we know? All we know is that one of the best ways t…
  • It says FAKE in bold at the top of the page. No I'm kidding lol but don't worry about that. It's not "fake" at all. This is just the section where they experiment with new questions to use on new LSATs. So how different could it possibly be? Just do…
  • As a side note, particular LSAT test difficulty is factored into the score conversion. For example, a 75 raw score might be a 159 on one test and 161 on another test. This means that it was harder to get a 75 raw score on the 161 test so they curve …
  • Haven't read everything posted as I'm at work at the moment, BUT don't forget to answer the "why" part of the personal statement. Like you said, there are word/character limits, so don't waste characters on sentences like "therefore, this is why I'm…

  • I'm a Canadian soccer player too and from one fellow player to another lol I think you should apply this cycle. Those are pretty decent stats and if you do rewrite it in December and hopefully get a 162 ish let's say, then you'd be very likely to ge…
  • Some question types are more foundational than others. One thing that you have to do with probably 90% of questions is identify the conclusion and have a feel for the assumption that the argument is making. So to that end, focus on main point questi…
  • Everyone is about to give you some amazing input, so I'll just give you one tidbit of info that I think is often overlooked by many. When you're reviewing the questions, think about how everything connects. Think about the common themes between diff…
  • If you're already beginning to get sick, vitamin C is kind of too late. Although still take that for sure. What you need is garlic, a natural antibiotic. Onion is an antiseptic. Anyway, I don't wanna bore you with the science, but just eat the fol…
  • Hahahaha I guess that works as well @Pacifico
  • @nicole.hopkins Yes for sure, waking up at the same time is vitally important and even in my experience as well. Regarding that app, for anyone else reading she's talking about how blue light has a greater impact on inhibiting melatonin vs red light…
  • So try this. First thing is you need some analytics. Obviously you're timing yourself. But time your passage reading and question answering separately. So say use your iPhone and hit "lap" when you're done the passage. That way you know how long you…
  • LOL a day or three @KimberlyK I will make an effort to do that you're right. And you'll smash that test in October as well don't worry
  • Okay thanks for that @c.janson35 and @LoraxMan I was noticing it in some MBT and SA questions with conditional language and thought there was a way to diagram always. But I see what you are both saying now. So in those types of questions, if I see…
  • For MSS it's basically just asking: what do you know? (Based on the info above) MSS always baits you into making further assumptions that seem legitimate. But the answer is always something more basic.
  • @chelsea.bashi It's a sign you have to get it now. I'll allow you to thank me later lol @nicole.hopkins Honestly, I would love to take a week off, but I'm writing in Oct. Did take a day and that helped. And if I eat extra cupcakes I won't have abs …
  • @chelsea.bashi Check out "the alchemist" by Paulo Coelho while you're at it lol. And my name is Pani, unique name I know. I probably should have included my first name in my username too. I was named after some ancient Assyrian king who was supposed…
  • Thank you Chelsea and Matt (Yes, you guys are on first-name basis with me now lol). I know you both said to take some a few days off, but I'm happy to report I went to the gym to just focus elsewhere for a bit, then afterwards wrote another fresh L…
  • I retook a preptest today (about a month old) and found that some questions I got wrong both times and for the same reasoning errors. To me, that's gold because now I know certain areas of weakness that haven't been addressed. LSAC writers got me tw…
  • It's funny I'm actually the other way around. Having that time constraint gets me into focus. I assume most aren't that way. But perhaps it's the way you see it? I consider the time constraint as a "okay now it's for real lets go." So easily distrac…
  • For the people wondering if December vs October gives better chances of admission, here's what I think. If you write in December, it'll only have been one month into applications (Nov 1st deadline) and in that time, I would think they'll mostly only…
  • @Pacifico That's interesting thanks for the tip. I'll make sure to refer back to your aforementioned list of factors after my LSAT
  • What do you mean "new personal statement?" @Pacifico its not like they have your old one side by side for comparison. They don't even know you applied before. Unless you mean a new one relevant to what you're doing now. In other words, an updated pe…
  • And I don't want that to come off as mean or anything. My point is just if you're already comfortable with 4 sections and you keep a consistent schedule with it, I'm sure you'll be just fine on test day. Mix a 5 section prep test or two in there to …
  • I know a lot of people use the phrase mental stamina, but I don't think it's about that at all. Sure, there's an argument to be made that doing 5 section prep tests will make you more accustomed to the actual 5 section test. That is consistent with …
  • I know what you mean. Don't check the time. You're focusing on it. And when you're focusing on the time, you're devoting a part of you brain to time and not to really understanding and comprehending what you're reading. So what I did when I experi…
  • With any investment, it's worth it if you get a good ROE (return on investment). In this case, it comprises the following: money and time (opportunity cost is factored into both). So if I go to law school and it costs me say $150,000 (including livi…
  • Yeah screw that article. On the flip side, there are just as many articles out there like this: http://www.slate.com/articles/business/moneybox/2014/06/why_now_is_a_great_time_to_go_to_law_school_part_2.html And this one is better written with sort…
  • You're definitely making the right choice and you're going to do very very well on the LSAT when you do write it @daryab116
