Hey there, working full time while studying for the LSAT can be really tough. Rather than trying to hit a certain # of hours of studying, it's going to be more important that you're studying effectively. Try not to think about being ready by a certa…

They're not going to review your application until you have a valid LSAT score, so whether or not you want to submit your apps before then is up to you. It doesn't do anything to your application

It's good that you know your weaknesses. Make sure to practice those section orders extra hard. You gotta have mental fortitude to overcome a bad section order. Also it's important to have stamina and a good mindset because you never know which one…

In my opinion, I think LG is a definite no-skip. Absolutely go through all of LG, even the practice drills. LR is in the middle, meaning I don't think it's necessary to do all the drills. RC is the most skippable imo. I didn't find their method help…

I was diagnosed with anxiety and got accommodations for the LSAT. I know exactly how you were feeling because I had a good understanding of the material and I studied so much yet I wasn't able to execute on exams due to my anxiety getting the bette…

I wouldn't skip the LR and LG portions. Personally I found the RC portion of the CC to be the least helpful, but it depends on where you're at with reading comp in general. And like someone said, doing all the problem sets isn't necessary, but do as…

@kvitka22 thank you!! and you are welcome, I am happy to answer any and all questions.
-
My mentors say yes, you should include these things because it helps them paint a more complete picture of who you are. Of course, things that are professional and law-related should be emphasized but it doesn't mean you should omit everything else.…

It sounds like you have a good understanding of the material based on your BR score, so that's not the issue. It also sounds like you're burning out, sometimes less is more in studying. Give your brain a rest, there's no point in studying for hours …

Congrats! With these numbers and a good personal statement you'll be golden! Good luck this cycle.

@overthistest said: Can you share any advice you have for RC? what was your method? I will be transparent and say RC is my weakest and most inconsistent section. But maybe that will make me more relatable for you! I wish I could see the scor…

Thank you @"Burt Reynolds" And ah Jas @wadduppeeeeeps I could say the same for you! Thank you for being a huge part of my journey!! You got this
-
Unless you have some compelling reason to cancel such a high score, I don't think you should. And "it's not my target score" is not a compelling enough reason. I say this as someone who got a 162 in their first sitting too earlier this year (I also …

@"TE CSC 2021" said: Congratulations, and thank you for encouraging all of us URM/BIPOC folks who are in this struggle. Good luck in your cycle. Thank you so much! Good luck to you you got this!

Hey I noticed that too. I scored a 162 in Feb 2021. I remember it being an 84th percentile then when I checked again, it became an 82nd.
-
I've been tired of waiting ever since we took it lol. But now that it's almost coming idk what to do with myself. The more I wait the more I overthink and start pessimistically anticipating the worst. I'm trying to hold onto the good feelings I had …

I've only written twice but I've spent 2 years studying for the exam, pushing off my exam at least 3 times throughout 2020. I'm not sure what advice you're looking for, but I always say to not rush your studying and take it only when you're absolute…

Page and a half is definitely too long. Addenda should be like 2 paragraphs max.
-
It depends on a few factors: your diagnostic score, your goal score, and how much time you can commit to studying each week. Without more info, it's hard to give anything beyond that. But it is possible to be ready in 2 months.

@MonkeyMammoth24 said: This was extremely helpful. Thank you so much. I started taking a few deep breaths before each PT and telling myself “you’ve proved that you can do it” and I think it helps me even though that seems crazy!! Congratulat…

A 10 point increase from 150 to 160 will have a different strategy from 160 to 170. Where are you scoring right now and what's your section breakdown? That will help people provide you with more specific advice.

@ColeParker I only focused on the LR chapters.

@ColeParker it's the LSAT Trainer by Mike Kim.

You're welcome @Publiclydisplayedname-1 best of luck

@ColeParker said: what is the name of the powerscore clinic you listened to? I struggle with this too. It was the clinic on general test mentality!

Something that helped me for all sections was reflecting on my process. After the section I walked myself through how I approached things, whether I was able to understand the passage, how I got to right answers/how I fell for trap answers, etc. Do…

I have 100% felt this, especially when I was preparing for my first take in early 2021. On PTs I hit my goal score, I would self doubt instead of have it boost my confidence. That anxiety carried to my test day, and I underperformed. Something I le…

LSAC is legally not allowed to disclose whether an applicant had testing accommodations. It would be downright discriminatory if law schools were biased against one's application due to mental illnesses/disabilities. I haven't been diagnosed with AD…

If it's 100% then logically the stimulus is airtight and like you said, completely valid. Strengthen/Weaken questions will always have a logical flaw
