In Army Basic training, when first learning a new skill, we would practice through the steps "by the numbers." For example, in formation movements, we would drill each step of the movement until we could retain muscle memory well enough to do it at…

@PPPPreme I started out where you did - in the high 150s and slowly built from there with a singular, gnawing goal: to score 180 on the LSAT. I never made it that high but I did get into the consistent 170s before sitting for the November exam. I’…

My e-mail from LSAC said December 19th.

Awesome! So excited for you! I can't wait to get an acceptance or two!

If you didn't cancel and you had no issues, you need to contact LSAC and find out what's going on. I received a re-test notification from LSAC after November (my test went well) and when I contacted them they told me it was a mistake and to disrega…

Can anyone speak to the notion of GPA cutoffs? i.e. where an admissions board won't even bother with applications below X.XX GPA? I've heard this is a thing and, if so, I may need to work on raising my own GPA even though I am looking forward to a…

When I started studying, getting through all 4 RC passages seemed impossible. I was consistently missing 7 - 11 per RC section and I knew I needed to improve efficiency. I tried learning speed-reading techniques, reading the first sentence of each…

"Let's LSAT" by Jacob Erez is a bunch of tips from top scorers and is about three hours long. "A Cadre of Experts" by the same author is an LSAT guide in the form of a novel. I did quite a few other ones too but these two were the only ones I'd re…

This happened to me last Thursday. LSAC responded to my puzzled e-mail saying since I was able to take the exam I wasn't "eligible" for a retake (good deal, LSAC, I didn't want one!) However, like you, I am still scheduled for a retake according t…

Score to guarantee T14? 180. Seriously, I never saw the point in aiming lower than the top. Even if you don’t ever hit such heights, make it your goal anyway.

@"lsatgirl-1" said: Hi guys, I had a quick question. I am struggling with timings when it comes to LR questions. So when there is an LR question that is long, I tend to skip it. I was wondering, are there any specific strategies that you …

Did you score better the second time than the first? Did you score near your Prep Test average? What is your target score?

Answer choice D is wrong because of the word “most.” Had it said “some species of flowering plant,” it may have been a better choice. However, answer choice E is a perfect fit so there’s no room for another correct choice...

What are the chances of you re-taking the LSAT and getting that 160 a little higher? If I were you (and we’re in similar predicaments as far as Undergrad is concerned) I’d be spending my every waking spare moment preparing for a January retake. A …

I don’t think you can fake the LSAT well enough to be disadvantaged. In theory, the same level of reasoning will be required by the same test to get the same score. While studying for the exam we actually are improving critical reasoning, short-te…

I’ve taken it three times.

My target score was 180. I never thought I should ever shoot for anything less. I never reached it on any prep test but I hit 177 after about 10 months.
-
I would build a problem set (or two) of question types I was struggling with before beginning a prep test. This would simulate the real world experience of maintaining focus through at least five sections. I think it helps for the real exam.
-
Thanks for the info. I received a message from LSAC this morning acknowledging the mistake.
-
@LSATcantwin Thank you! I have replied to LSAC. I sincerely hope I have the option to keep the score.

My only record score was 5 points below my PT average. Of course, that was September when a rogue LG section owned my soul. I scored at or better than my PT average on the rest of the exam. I just took Monday’s exam and feel like I nailed it so..…

“The Loophole” by Ellen Cassidy. Got me from -7/-9 to -1/-3. Best money I spent on prep material (besides ultimate+, of course.)

First, 158 isn’t exactly “bombing” the LSAT. A lot of people would be very happy with that score. You, however, have high expectations and I relate to that and respect it. I always tell people who need a few extra points to focus on LR translation …
-
If you’re already in the 150s on Prep Tests, I think a few strategic changes can help you pick up those extra points. 1. Skip and flag LR questions you struggle with and come back to them after you finish every other question. Additionally, focus…

So... ...I’ve been there. Many of us have. I actually cancelled my June score only to bomb (for me) and get a 164 in September. In retrospect, I wish I hadn’t cancelled because I almost certainly did better than I thought I had. I felt like I b…

@CRLSUUUU said: Any guesses on the curve for this one? If September was a -13, this was -10. Maybe -11 if we’re lucky.

I didn’t use the stylus at all. I learned from September that the stylus is basically useless. But it’s a great souvenir...
