Efficiency is a balance of speed and accuracy—you want to collect as many points as you can as fast as you can. You can neither get questions wrong fast enough, nor get them correct slow enough to achieve a good score. In other words you want the ea…
No specific format, but format for readability and value as opposed to volume. Don't try to cram everything you think will be positive into it. Good examples here: https://hls.harvard.edu/jdadmissions/apply-to-harvard-law-school/jdapplicants/jd-appl…
I wouldn't. ED is generally for the school's benefit, allowing them to lock in preferable candidates while removing that candidate's bargaining power. I think it's a bad deal generally (aside from those that come with a solid guaranteed scholarship)…
You don't need nearly as many PT's as most people think... IMO one a week + one to break apart for drilling is enough. Its more important to make sure you are extracting all the value out of the content, particularly in terms of how you reacted to i…

Congrats Josh! Will be in my SA so likely won't make it, but where are you heading off to?

Basically just keep going. Anyone can perfect LG and really IMO there is no reason to take the test without being able to hit -0. If you …
You just have to keep drilling the games. Do them over until you nail it (or just start remembering what the answers were), then put it away and take it out a few days later and do it again. Continue until you can run the game smoothly with no pause…
Those numbers should get you into a good school. Not sure how broadly you applied but I'd consider having someone take a look at your essays and application strategy.
Depends on the school, but generally (and somewhat counterintuitively) the better the school, the harder it is to "fail" and the smaller the impact poor performance will have on your career outcomes.
A lower ranked school will have conditional scho…
Engage with the material. Paraphrase to yourself as you go. Read with the intention of being able to teach each paragraph to someone else as soon as you finish reading it. Define the exact criteria for your correct answer before you read the answer …
Drill those questions and pay attention to the correlative language. You have to be able to pick up when they are giving you a correlative relationship, then you can anticipate the causal conclusion.

This is a good deal people, hammering out your essays and polishing your app is likely a months long process. Better to have it ready to fire off once that score comes in. No interest here... but David and crew were instrumental in getting me where …

Forget about the practical admissions implications for a moment. OK, no more LSAT - what's the new system?
I have yet to hear a single reasonable argument for why eliminating the LSAT would make the process fairer o…
Impact will likely depend on whether USNWR retains it as a rankings metric. The MCAT is not "required" but most med schools use it. Counterpoint: unlike the LSAT, the MCAT actually functions to ensure applicants have baseline prerequisite knowledge…
A 5 point drop is nothing... if I saw someone with no score drops I would assume they were not using fresh content or otherwise failing to replicate testing conditions. First, PT scores don't matter. What matters is that you learn from the mistakes …

I would chill on the PT's and focus more on review and LG. One PT a day is too much IMO. No way you are getting the full value from those takes. I think on a week is enough, 2 is doable, and I have yet to meet someone who can PT/BR/review and extrac…
@"Matt Sorr" thanks for the tag.

No worries. I try to keep a presence here since I got so much out of this community.
7 takes, though most of them were during FLEX when they didn't count. Quick note to say I wouldn't recommend the way I approached takes 1-5.

@"Yan Wang" I know what you're trying to say. I just disagree. Particularly with this:
If "at least 1" can't contradict "at most 1", all the elements (e.g., 2 or 3) should be in "at most 1", which is not the case. Hence, "at least 1" can contra…

It sounds like you are adding in an additional assumption that earthquake rates on a given fault are constant... like we can assign "oh this one is once a million." All we have is that they never rise above 1:100000 years in a quiet zone.
