  • @gemparksz said: Hi, I am having trouble regarding timed pt and anxiety issue. So when I do full timed-pt, my score is 160-167 but in BR, I constantly hit 173+. This huge difference sucks since everytime I saw questions without timing…
  • @trashstudent Hard to say without more detail. Have you completed the CC? How close are you to your score goal on your PTs? What’s your BR score look like in relation to your timed scores? Will those 6 PTs be all the tests you take? I don’t think…
  • When I was going through the CC, I did the problem sets until I felt like I had a good understanding of the q type. For some, that meant doing only a few of them. For others it meant doing them all. I rarely did them all right after the lesson thoug…

  • @alumivacui said: @Alex said: Different things work for different people when it comes to anxiety. For me prayer/meditation and a good warm up were generally helpful. I noticed that much of my RC anxiety came when…
  • That depends on your intuition! I often find that most people’s intuitions with logic are poorly aligned with the correct logic. And it’s all too easy to make small errors or mis-translate something in your head. If you’re just starting out, I wou…
  • Different things work for different people when it comes to anxiety. For me prayer/meditation and a good warm up were generally helpful. I noticed that much of my RC anxiety came when I had to re-read sentences/paragraphs/passage, which generally …
  • You should be fine. Most of the schools that interview do it via Skype or phone. Many schools don’t interview applicants. Check out which schools you’ll be applying to and see how they conduct — or if they conduct — interviews.
  • @"J.B. JD ASAP" said: Hello all, I would like to be able to participate in some live Webinars, but being that I am relatively new to this gig, have no idea how to find out about them before they happen. So, can someone please let me know where…
  • @MissChanandler said: I realize that on the actual test there's no need for this at all, but I often practice sections during my down time at work and like the ability to pause if I get a phone call or something like that. If this has already …
  • @sagp015 said: Hey brother, congrats! So, I’m leaning towards JD/MBA but not too sure if Darden would be worthwhile for my PE or hedge fund goals. What made you want to do a dual program? Also, do you see yourself in BL or finance related posi…
  • You’re making the right call. Having a break to recharge your batteries will do wonders. Enjoy your trip and see ya when you’re back to it.
  • @brigettemore1 said: Congrats! Don't mean to rain on your parade but would you be willing to retake the LSAT? It seems that you scored a 167 so I would think a 170+ may make a difference. Thank you Don’t worry, it’s been rainy here in NY fo…
  • What section(s) are you having this issue with? When you BR, how many do you miss on each section? Unless it is absolutely zero, every time, there is more work to be done in the CC and with drilling.
  • Not in the same situation but dealt with issues of consistency. I decided to set aside the hours of 5am-7am to study every day, 6 days a week, no matter what. Some days I would come home from work and do more, but just knowing I got those 2 hours i…
  • @eRetaker said: Big congrats! Can't imagine balancing bschool and lawschool apps ! Thank you @eRetaker! It certainly wasn’t a fun time haha.
  • @a1ex_682 said: Congrats, Alex! Thank you for the encouragement and advice. When you say get your applications in "early," can you specify a good month to work towards? Thx Thank you dude! I’d aim for the earliest time possible. I really th…
  • @"Aristotle Jones" said: Congrats, man! My girl friend wants to go to Business school, so I’m eager to learn how and what you used to study for the GMAT? Thanks dude! I did maybe 50% of my studying just by watching free videos on YouTu…
  • Headed to NYU!
  • @Lemongrab said: @Alex Thank you Alex! Can I ask you if there’s a difference between doing timed sections + untimed BR and untimed section? because it seems like if I BR later untimed, it would be basically same thing? I do the whole thing…
  • @wngdwaf_1 said: If I'm fairly new to the test, and am aiming to write the Sept test with the whole summer to study, should I get the Premium, ultimate, or the ultimate+? Hmm... I think ultimate plus is the best option for the price in all o…

  • If there is anyone who deserves such a wonderful cycle, it is you @"Leah M B" Congrats my friend!!! 🎈
  • @Lemongrab I did RC sections almost exclusively untimed until I was going -0 consistently. Naturally that didn’t translate to a -0 on my timed takes, but I was able to improve a ton this way. Learn to master the techniques and strategies, do that r…
  • @dominickhouri said: Thanks so much! Is there anyway to get the extra time that the ultimate affords though? I've had this course for maybe 8 days or so Yes, you will get the extra time it affords! Just contact @studentservice and they will …

  • @dominickhouri said: Is there any way I can upgrade to Ultimate+, pay the difference and get the extra time? This has been so amazing and I wasted my time before using Powerscore. I had no idea the course would be THIS effective for me compare…

  • @Lemongrab said: Wow... congratulations!! that’s just amazing! Great schools... and law and MBA? I took a peek at my brother’s gmat book and was so happy LSAT didn’t ask me to do math. Thank you. I have a strong love for the finance/bus…
