Yes, I absolutely think studying should slow down going into the exam. I think 2 PTs per week is the absolute max anyone should do, because you need to leave time to thoroughly BR. Your gains don’t necessarily come from doing the PTs, but during the…

Agreed with most of the above. And I’m not totally clear - have you gone through the whole cc or just LG? I highly recommend going through the whole cc in order, top to bottom. There’s so much more to learning this test. The lessons on logic and gra…

My method is bubbling after each game, RC passage, and before each LR page turn. So basically, when you are looking at the open test book pages, I go through and answer everything on the left and right pages in front of me (circling my answer choice…

Thanks for the tag, @LSAT_Wrecker! So from everything I have heard and read, the Pacific NW is highly highly sensitive to having ties to the area. If you don’t already have ties (like, born and raised in Seattle, the entirety of your family lives t…

Hi there! So after your updated info, I just voted for UT if you get an offer, and Houston if you do not. I can understand your argument for Seton Hall, but I just don't see it as being the best option for you. They won't do nearly as good of a job…

Oh and a note - if you bring a sharpener, it must also be manual!! No electric/battery powered sharpeners.

I never understood the black myself. I like the classic Ticonderogas! Is there anything different about the black besides color? The regular ol' yellow ones are cheaper so I always bought those!
-
I think the amount of debt you're taking on plus the job prospects out of the schools are going to be huge factors. Have you figured out what your total COA is going to be for each of your top choices? And looked at employment statistics and found o…

I had the opposite problem haha. Total night owl, early morning test was tough for me. On someone else's advice, I took a brisk 15-20 minute walk after waking up. It helps the blood flow and wake up your brain and body. Maybe something like that? An…

WOW freaking amazing!! I'm so happy for you!! And so honored for your special shout out lol. CONGRATULATIONS!!! https://media.giphy.com/media/yoJC2GnSClbPOkV0eA/giphy.gif

An important question not answered above: where do you want to live and practice after law school? Are you planning on coming back to Texas? A couple more questions: are you wanting to work in big law? And are you paying for tuition and cost of liv…

The white noise/background sounds are helpful but I’d highly recommend actually taking the tests in a distracting environment. A public library is IMO the closest you can come to approximating test conditions. I recommend taking them in a variety of…

I think it’s definitely important to budget time away from the LSAT to maintain your mental health. I studied while working full time. So I made sure to set aside 1 week night per week that I would not do anything LSAT related, and schedule somethin…
-
I think 2 hours is way too much. Keep in mind that check in for the test is at 8:30am. If you did 2 hours of warm up, it’d probably have to be from like 5:30-7:30am. If you’re not a morning person, you’d go into the test exhausted. I do think it he…
-
I’m not sure if an addendum is necessary, but maybe couldn’t hurt since 9 credit hours is essentially part time. Maybe @"selene.steelman" could tell you if it would be best to write an addendum up front. But either way, I don’t think it will negativ…

The biggest thing to know is that splitter cycles are super unpredictable. The best thing you can do (besides getting a killer LSAT) is apply early, make sure your essays are really strong, and apply broadly. It’s super important to keep options ope…
-
OH and I also meant to say - the biggest thing you can do for yourself right now is to make sure you don't burn out!!! Don't try to overcome this by studying more hours than you can handle. Now is actually a great time for you to step away and take …
-
Agree with the others here. I think a lot of people have that dip when transitioning from older tests to newer ones. And I personally don't think they are harder, but just a little different. I think in LR, the newer tests tend to have more nuanced …
-
That is totally normal! If anything, that's just an awesome BR score that you should be proud of. The thing with BR is that until you are basically hitting 178-180 on timed PTs (which is like, less than 1% of people haha), your BR score is always go…
-
Oh man, you are SO not alone! Seriously, it's like... every single person haha. I'm deposited and heading to school this Fall, and have had many conversations with many other folks thinking that it's a fluke we got in where we did, or we can't hack …

I believe their chronograph restriction basically means that you can't have anything where you click a button to re-set it. Since the Perfect Score watch has a rotating bezel, it should be allowed. That said, there's always a chance that an over-eag…

I think this comparison sums it up: https://www.lstreports.com/compare/gulc/washu/ WashU really isn't much behind GULC except for biglaw placement. In pretty much every other metric, they are very similar. Plus, WashU is closer to and places more …
-
If your goal isn't biglaw or federal government in DC, this seems like a no brainer to me - WashU is the way to go! The significantly less debt will be helpful, plus it's close-ish to Chicago and places a lot of grads there. Unless you have some oth…

You guys are THE BEST. Thank you!!
-
Wow! Too late for me haha. But this seems like something I would have loved to have at the beginning of the application process. Very cool!
-
I'm not totally clear on what your timeline is, but agreed with @drbrown2. Also, it generally will take quite a bit of time to go from the low 150s to high 160s. I improved from 155 to 168 with about 9 months of studying (on top of full time work). …

/CTG --> /RAF That would be how I'd abbreviate it. But basically, yep you got it!
-
It is real that sometimes it can take even up to 6 months to get a response (though that's more common if you applied super early, like September). However, no a school will not just never give you an answer. Even if it doesn't happen until mid-summ…

@Lemongrab said: Thank you @"Leah M B" ! I’ll definitely try BRing only circled questions. I kind of forget to circle thing during PT, but will try:) It’s a really helpful habit to get into! A lot of people get to the point where you basical…

@CantStopWontStop Amazing! Similar to me, I was WL at UCI last year and in with $120k this year. Congratulations!!
