@LSATcantwin said: U.C. Hastings - Nooooooo thank you. Not a huge fan of SF, and Hastings is right in the tenderloin. Talk about feeling unsafe and dirty! Not to mention the cost of living in or anywhere near SF is INSANE. ($1450 a month, 1 be…

Many schools post several exemplary resumes, and sometimes even personal statements of admitted students. Try navigating through Admissions sections of your prospective schools and look for such examples. Also that advice by your advisor, at least a…

Why are you disappointed by a 157 diagnostic? That's a 70th percentile score, and you haven't studied yet. Idk what you are studying, but tbh I don't see how 4 hours per day is realistic on top of overloading in college classes and all of the other …

Hi. Yes it's definitely possible. I am one example, and there are many others. So don't give up on your goal. At the end of the day, however, I feel like all you can do is try your best and be happy with the final outcome (even if you don't cross th…

First, I just wanted to mention that there are probably tons of people who score(d) under 170 who may have particularly useful advice on topics like this one. I was consistently getting -1/2 on LR before scoring 170s. Perhaps even more useful would …
-
I started in the low 140s as well. Took me about 8 months before I hit my first 170. A couple of notes on that. My first 4 months of studying were too casual (reading the trainer, untimed work only), and not exactly efficient. If I studied better fr…

I agree with @LSATcantwin that "furthermore" usually signifies another premise. There is also another, much rarer possibility, where it can signify a second conclusion. In this way "furthermore" may lead from an intermediate conclusion to the final …

@Feb2018Taker said: pioneer321. Very helpful info. Thank you! And good luck to you! No problem. Thankfully, I think I am done with the LSAT, but I could definitely use some luck on these stupid applications haha.

You say that LR was your weakest section, so that is the one you should be most focused on while drilling. To me it seemed that the most difficult part about studying for a retake was actually starting. But, like @"Alex Divine" said, start by taking…

Anyone can have a bad day. Don't kill yourself over one bad test. I remember taking PT 73 and scoring 162, after more or less consistent 170s. Now your job is to review and analyze the crap out of this test, dissect every single question you missed,…
-
I don't think that any of the PTs in the 71+ range should have precedence over each other. Ideally I would do all of them. If that is not possible due to time constraints, I would first do all the ones with weird games: 72, 77, 79, 80. Then I would …

As far as skipping, you should experiment with different skipping routines, to try and figure out which will work better for you. There is a difference between tackling each question carefully, and wasting time just starring at answer choices when y…

I didn't take a true diagnostic, but estimate it to have been somewhere low 140s. Got 176 on the actual exam (although it took me two takes). You can do it! Just got to keep pushing!

My vote is for 7Sage, because, up to the extent that I'm familiar with these two systems, the methodology of 7Sage will match up much better with what you have already learned from the LSAT Trainer. Powerscore techniques just seem really different c…

Another thing to add, is that while the logic of the test has remained remarkably consistent since the 1990s, wording of some of the question prompts have changed and evolved. For this reason, I felt that it was important to use newer tests close to…

@ktvarda1, I want to chime in on the topic of BR too if you don't mind. The problem with not reviewing your test, is that you really aren't getting nearly all of the available learning out of the experience. You can keep burning through one PT afte…

You absolutely have a shot. I never took a true diagnostic because honestly I did not see a point in discouraging myself and taking a test for which I had no prior knowledge. Understanding the test like I do now, I honestly think that my diagnostic…

First, a note about the question statement. Note the “… most justifiably be rejected.” In my mind this question goes into MSS category, where tcr will often not be a 100% ironclad MBT-type deduction. Tbh, on the real test I got to (D) by POE becaus…
