  • @licknee. Your link just made me burn an hour and a half of essay writing time... thanks for posting it.
  • @Roy, awesome that you went to USC and that the big names showered waivers on you! Curious, will you be applying to USC? It's on my list, so I'm wondering what you thought of it...
  • I don't think PTs 72 and 73 are part of Ultimate - I think they're add-ons.
  • @Roy. I can't believe that LSAC requires them to charge a fee to apply. LSAC already charges its own fee, and schools up and down the rankings charge between 0$ and $80 to apply. Since some are free, I can't imagine LSAC actually requires a fee i…
  • Do you see "Candidate Item Response Report" or IRR? That's it. Also, if you took the test abroad (not Canada or USA) you probably took an undisclosed test, which is basically like taking a February test here in North America. You only get your sc…
  • If you're studying for February, and have already completed your course of study, then you could just focus on whatever question type is keeping your score down. That will help you save time. If you have not completed some course of study (be it 7…
  • EDIT: @licknee beat me to it! I'll leave this for posterity. @legalE. Check out lawschooltransparency.com. If you click on "School Reports" just below the big map on the home page, you go to a page where you can search schools by name. When you…
  • Yes, practice on the early ones first. You don't want to burn recent material until you get close to test day. Some folks think the newer RC is harder, some don't. The comparative is easiest if you have a good RC strategy already in place. By th…
  • I think it has to do with the sharing, but not exclusive sharing. Meaning, since Cambridge is digital, when you email the PDF to someone, they have a copy of your copy. Unless you destroy yours, you've essentially photocopied your book, and given …
  • FWIW, my mom didn't start law school until she was 28. She had me in her mid 30s after having my brother in her early 30s and my little sister came along shortly thereafter. She's still practicing law today. You can do anything you put your mind …
  • If you tell us how you studied and one what part of the test you feel you could improve, we might be able to give you a good starting point. Have you completed the 7Sage course yet?
  • Quick note, even with a waiver from these schools, it isn't free to apply. LSAC charges you for every application you send through the CAS. That fee is in the $25 neighborhood... I'm too lazy to look right now. And yes, their rankings are affecte…
  • Your LG strategy is EXACTLY what I did in December after a crummy LG section in September. I went -3 in December which is precisely what I was averaging in my PTs while practicing between September and December. I made dead certain that I was perf…
  • You know I was thinking about this recently actually. I agree with @licknee that this is against the rules and would advise that @harris not share with anyone else due to licensing issue. That said, does anyone else think it's a bit rubbish that w…
  • @Devin, If you sit for the exam, when you receive your score you also receive the test questions as well as the credited answer choices as part of your packet on the LSAC website. It has not be published publicly yet, though it soon will be. Only…
  • The other advantage to watching your accuracy increase with drilling: confidence. When your confidence hovers around 95% and your accuracy is in the same realm, then you will notice you stop second guessing yourself. On of the reasons I was so slo…
  • So glad you asked instead of just going for it. Please, for the love of all good things, don't do this!! There is another detail about February that hasn't been identified yet: it isn't disclosed. Whereas for the June, Fall, and Winter tests you …
  • I think he was referring to individual question types. Your number is closer to what I paid, but that was for a bundle which included all question types. Cambridge lets you pick which ones you want or lumps them all together at a discount bulk rate.…
  • When you use the 7Sage scorer, it does give a rough % likelihood of a given type occurring and I think it includes the number too. Have you input any of your PT scores yet?
  • Well first off, congrats on doing so well already! Second... the answer to your question is a big fat no! Maybe in the past retaking would have been a sour mark, but these days, it's standard operating procedure. Schools' rankings depend on highest …
  • I don't know if they have done this before, but, speaking from experience with databases, I don't think it's too big a deal. Probably just mixed up the "pull" for the links. If you are still nervous about the score, I suggest doing what I did: check…
  • @mjjohns. I actually wondered the same thing but when I compared the answer sheet to PT73, there was no correlation. I don't think there's any chance the scores have errors and suspect they'll have it sorted by tomorrow afternoon.
  • I got my score and was able to get my report info on the LSAC website after they sent me an email. (The email should come first folks! Don't kill the website!) As other users have suggested, it seems they've posted the wrong question sets (they po…
  • @nathanial Keep in mind, drilling isn't really about timing. You should not get ANY questions wrong. The idea is more about doing the same problem type repeatedly so that you pick up on the patterns. Your time will drop as you get better. For e…
  • PM sent. Much appreciated
  • This looks interesting. After reading a lot of the low ratings on Amazon and seeing that they call it a conspiracy theory that spans 800+ pages, I was surprised. It seems that over the last few years much of his criticism and cynicism has been shown…
  • I think if you withdraw before you've been considered, meaning no decision received, then I don't think you've really applied and therefore would not have to check the box. That said, you certainly won't get any application cost refunds, so it migh…
  • I'm fairly certain I'll not be taking the test again, but I've invested so much time on this, that I'm going to buy it just to see how you did these questions. Plus, I want to see what you say about Han purple!! Looking forward to it JY, thanks fo…
  • For what it's worth, we took the LSAC website down last time by continuously hitting it (myself included) and that was silly. Your score isn't posted until after you receive it by email. Your best bet it just to wait for the email with your score, t…
  • @mjjohns6 If it's still on offer, I'd love to have the University of Georgia waiver. I'm hoping I'll receive a waiver on my own after my results from the December test come in, but I wouldn't mind having a sure thing Does it have a drop dead date?
