Different notation styles work for different people. I started off underlining or bracketing a pretty decent amount of stuff. I always had timing issues then. I decided to try notating a lot less, and my speed vastly improved…
As someone who works part time. I usually try to get about 4 hours a day, six days a week. I work at night as a server so I go in about 4 or 5pm. I usually have found that after about 4 hours, I start to loose focus pretty bad.
Everyone is differen…
Reading for structure instead of details (still improving on this). Its so easy to get caught up in the details but the majority of the questions are about structure. What role does paragraph X play in the authors's reasoning? What is the purpose of…
Been struggling with keeping my mind stable and focused during a timed PT for over a year; I would score way below what I do for timed sections. Broke through my mental anxiety during my last PT and jumped 10 points!
I too struggle with this. One thing that was suggested to me is the "rule of 2". If I read the stimulus and don't see what is going on, I will read it once more and if I'm still not grasping it then I will move on. This includes going through the AC…
@Maximus4 Hmmm... I agree that is odd with USC. What I mean by mobile is that you can move around the country a bit more and people will recognize the name better. I slightly mis-phrased; I should have said the most mobile of the schools you mention…
Vandy. Most mobile school from what I've seen. I feel like WUSTL isn't as mobile outside the Mid-West area. This becomes an issue if you are trying to go to CA. If you're getting serious money from theses 2 schools, you are definitely in the ball ga…
Usually smooth jazz during studying (words take my attention away if I know the song; start to jam hard haha) along with my beach bar station on Pandora. I am a big traditional and Texas country fan too (get that bro country outta here!!!!)
I started with 7sage and have used it for a while. I picked up the Trainer as a supplement and it has helped me a lot with LR and RC just from the fact that it was a different voice. It actually made JY's video make a lot more sense too in LR. I thi…
I never did the 10 copy rule. I figured out after a couple of times I usually could master a game after about 3 times (4 if it was tough). I fly through ink too but this is was one way that I was able to save.
I came back after deciding to finish undergrad. While I'm nowhere near your scoring, just give it time. After studying something for this long and intently, it would be hard to get rid of. It's natural to panic a bit, but remember the test isn't tom…
As someone who has pushed this test back multiple times, don't rush your prep. You don't want to take the test when you are no where near where you want to be. If you have to push back the test to Nov/Dec or even next cycle, then so be it.
In regar…
Yes, start with the older tests. You want to save your newer tests for when you are closer to your test date. That's not to say you can use a couple to get the feel of the newer tests, as there are some differences between the older and newer ones. …
It depends on how the stimulus is formulated. For SA and MBT, you will find a lot of times you will use a lot of logic but not every time. Main conclusion and argument part you won't have to worry about it at all. Flaw you will need to have a decent…
I think it comes down to context and how the stimulus is presented. The LSAT writers will hide their flaws by mixing ratios and increases/decreases in numbers overall to confuse you.
An example I can think of is:
Last year at our banquet we served…
@"Seeking Perfection" @goingfor99th Thank you for the responses! I really feel encouraged now about my work experience. While I never expected a boost or anything, under performing was a concern especially at some schools I may reach for.

I think I'd like to start in the big city (Houston or Dallas) and then maybe down the road move down to a mid-size firm or GC for a company. I can't deny the opportunities afforded by starting off in big law, but moving down a bit, where starting a …

JUST decided. Hoping to hear back from them about a financial aid appeal, but I'm going either way.
It was tough deciding between them and Northwestern (because o…
