@jyang72 Another aspect of GW is its reputation as a policy/politics-oriented program. If you are aiming to practice at a firm, this won't be a consideration. But if you want, even eventually, to work within the Beltway in something besides black-le…

@"Habeus Scoreplus" said: Did anybody think the Hindu/Roman reading comp passage was overly difficult? I had one of WTF moments after reading about the Hindu stuff. I was hoping that was experimental. Sigh. @"Habeus Scoreplus" Unfortunately,…

@siriwansae said: In my LR section: more cyclist more accident, 10 years later more cyclists less accident Lysozyme 80 mins pollution test @siriwansae Confirmed. Both those are real.
-
@jcylin93 Ah yes! Those are both real: Ravens/crows and worms (dropping pebbles in a tube) Children estimating half-full beakers (it was for me the toughest question of both LR sections)
-
Yeah...it isn't linear. That would be too easy. The LSAC is too good at what they do.
-
@cskent329 Because the experimental section is not the same for everyone. Common denominators + test structure.
-
Official RC was: Judges and juries Indian literature vs Roman political history Liberal environmentalists and ecology Bees (optic measuring, distance traveled, multiple studies)
-
I had two LR sections. I remember: Meteorite and nanodiamonds Supernova and a king's birth Will update more as they occur to me.

@LSAT04164 From the LSAC website FAQ: How many times can I take the LSAT? Normally, you may not take the LSAT more than three times in any two-year period. This policy applies even if you cancel your score or it is not otherwise reported. LSAC re…

The LG section with the 12 weeks of summer camp was a real section. A girl from my room was with me on the train ride home, and said she had the summer camp game, plus three LR sections.
-
This is exactly the kind of discussion I wanted to start. Great points all!
-
@LSATaker No, that's too strong. I've heard you just don't get extra points for having family there. So it doesn't hurt you; it just doesn't help.

This often is related to "legacy" considerations, and depending on the school can swing either way. By way of example, I've heard (but not confirmed) that Berkeley actively eschews legacy points. Additionally, were I an admissions officer I'd pref…

@John1990 I found a tablet with a stylus invaluable. I took a Samsung Galaxy Tab A w/ S Pen on travel with me, loaded it full of prep test PDFs, and was able to study on the train, in cafes, and on the beach. It totally obviates the need for printin…

@badgalriri I've banned myself from TLS. There is no replacement for patient, methodical LSAT prep and solid application writing. TLS is a hive of neuroses.

@vduran1988 I would make only one adjustment to your plan: make every Saturday a firm Practice Test day, and begin around 10am (roughly the time you will begin the actual test in February. Build your week around that most sacred of days. Test Day do…

Alex is absolutely correct about this. I visited the campus this year, and a student I talked to said she had no business being at Yale. She had a 164 and a basic state university degree. She wrote her statement and 250 the day the admission cycle c…

Another small but powerful "compromise" between the options mentioned above is to time individual questions, games, RC passages, or small blocks of them. It's the "aim small, miss small" approach, breaking a challenge down into its component parts a…

The insistent urge to move on to the next PT is seductive but detrimental. It inherently assumes there is an absolute and positive relationship between volume of PTs and score level. The most important PT is the one you're working on right now. Mi…

@Sheri123 I do them all. It takes me precisely two hours to BR an individual LR section, yet it is a powerful process. It is critical you slowly review each answer choice, and document why it is wrong or right. Over time the patterns emerge, and add…
-
For those of you with your sights set on Yale, just be aware that the application specifically asks if you sought outside assistance in crafting your application. It's not an absolute make-or-break, but just be aware of that so you aren't blindsided…
-
Yeah...thanks for the responsiveness guys. I like 7Sage's method of transparent management; call it pseudo-crowdsourcing. We all have a huge stake in our LSAT scores - thanks for eliciting and responding to our feedback!
-
The problems with this (for those who started before the curriculum change) are that: 1) We have to switch constantly between Lessons and Old Problem Sets, instead of moving linearly through the subject matter 2) The completed Old Problem Sets no…

In general.

@ddakjiking ...False: I have friends who went whiteshoe Manhattan from Arizona State and Michigan State. It is totally possible to do BigLaw from a non-T14 school.

Don't forget about Scientific American, which is the source of many actual RC passages.
