In all honesty, I did tell her at one point that I was averaging a certain score that happened to be my highest PT score. So yeah, that would be some bluffing.
I bluffed to my Mom once too. It was my last PT befor…
I usually take a few days off off when I get that way, and do an LG section 1-2 days before my next PT (or test) to warm my brain back up so I'm not totally cold.
Reading chapters in the powerscore LR bible has also been a good active recovery for …

I'm wondering to what extent something similar is possible in law school admissions?
I talked to one person who use to work in admissions at a T14 and she made it clear how little time they have to evaluate an ap…
I was rhetorically addressing the empirical support you provided for your claim that The Daily Wire is "conservative rag". If we're using mediabiasfactcheck.com as the metric, would you conclude that CNN is "left wing rag"? Would you also proceed to…

The Daily Wire is a conservative rag that publishes “articles” that are extremely biased, and focus solely on manufacturing conservative outrage about a given topic, and their coverage is skewed to only include material that …

Social media isn’t fun when you know you’re being watched like this.
Seconded. It's not so much "being watched" that troubles me (we should assume our statements and actions on the internet and elsewhere are publicly know…

And yes, my scores were dipping on PTs 72-75. It felt like the gaps in logic or correct answer choices got more subtle.
I'd review the core lessons on MSS/validity if you can, and pay special attention to the strength of valid…
True. I definitely hope that's the case for law schools/law school applicants.
On a related note - Daily Wire, in case you weren't aware, is run by Ben Shapiro. He graduated Harvard Law I think at age 22 and practiced for a few years before he star…
I think it depends on how much stock we put in Bradley Shear (alleged attorney) and his account of events. He's appeared publicly and interviewed on ESPN to discuss related topics by the looks of it.
are your lower scores on the later tests? A lot of people noticed a drop in LR scores once they got into the PT's in the mid 60's and 70s. Logic tends to get a little softer on those which can definitely be a challenge at first. There's a few posts …
U-Penn has a 3-year J.D/LLM program where you get your LLM in your 3rd year from Hong Kong University. It's a great option if you want to leave your options open domestically and abroad. HKU has a lot of prestige in Asia/Oceania. I'd venture that U-…

Law schools do find out who is registered. I’ve gotten “good luck on the LSAT!” Emails before. But the schools won’t see your score until shortly after you get it.
good to know - thanks!
Also, what did you score on your diagnostic/first PT? What is your goal? It sounds like you've only been at this around a month. For people whose diagnostic is in the mid 150s it can take anywhere from 6-12 months to consistently score in the 170's.…
I would postpone to September (or later, if you're okay waiting a year) if I was in your position.
Also how often are you PT'ing? More than twice a week is pushing it.
Also worth noting - you'll want to finish all of the 7sage core lessons before …
me and my study buddy have been doing 6 section PT's to great effect (full PT plus 2 from another random PT in a 3-break-3 format).
I have a lot of trouble with sustained focus and by the 4th section I used to find it difficult to process stimuli i…
I'm not saying it's advisable for everyone, but leaving your job to study for the lsat full time is a method applied by many individuals to very successful ends. If you have the potential to score 170+, the scholarships you can get from a high score…
Thank you all for the great suggestions, and @"Seeking Perfection" for the tip on general mindset.
I added Dostoevsky's Crime and Punishment and Nietzche's Will to Power to my kindle - both have actually been on my list for some time; it's good to …
It's well-documented test takers are 5 points "dumber" on test day - experiences by a number of 7sagers, myself included, support that notion. This is due to a number of factors - fatigue, test room distractions, stress, different routine on test da…
distance cycling and running in the AM is what I do now (usually as a commute). If crunched for time, or if weather doesn't permit, I'll probably throw my bike into the trainer to do intervals in Zwift. That, and calisthenics twice a week.
I rememb…
