I lurked in 2013, and there was way more traffic back then. Seems like TLS is dying down...

Yeah we sorta took over. This thread only had like 9 pages 2 weeks ago.

Since you're counting, waiters has more than February and it's only day one.
Granted, y'all are social butterflies and keeping both threads active.

In 9 short weeks this cycle will be over. Iirc, none of you are planning to apply with February scores, correct?

Yup as far as I know. Probably not going to even worry about PS until the summer,

[I<3ScholarlySweets!]

Well yes, Dirigo, that is the CR

[20170322]

So, I've decided; if I get a 172+, I will graduate a year early and use the extra scholarship money to screw around for a summer in Europe.

There, new source of motivation.

[I<3ScholarlySweets!]

What's the average age here? I'm 23...

[righttt]

I'm feeling my motivation waning (esp as the holidays approach) - would anyone be willing to be a (virtual) study partner? I think meeting up with someone is a good idea, but alas I am abroad.
Basically just we'd email each other what we did each day studying. or if we didn't study. Which hopefully would engender guilt to study more. Until the day of reckoning in February.

About me: Aiming 170+; my weak section is LR.

PM if you're interested! Thankssssss

Honorary Febby dropping in!

WC, I've missed you!! How have you been? How's school? Life? Etc etc..

Sorry for only answering now... I went to bed because I'm still recovering from a cold (life really sucks) School has been on the backburner for a while because of LSATs... except for my German class ( ) but still maintaining that GPA (which needs to remain high because of this stupid test). How are y'all doing with prep?

Speaking of less people taking the test... I told my tutor that I saw that less people are taking the LSAT and there are less applications to law school and he said "the numbers went down but now they're going back up." And I was thinking "He's lying to freak me out so I'll pay his company more." Any thoughts? lol

Thanks for the links, dirigo! I saw the spivey numbers and didn't exactly know what to make of them.
All I can do now is write a quick ass application and hope that my LOR, PS and GPA will compensate for my GPA. If not... I'll apply with you all next cycle

Please tell your tutor to call me. I'm not kidding, I would like to get a call from some stranger who says "hi, I am WorldsCollide's tutor and I stand by my statement that "the numbers are going back up" so I can explain malpractice to him. Thank you!

More than likely checking in. I don't even know if a retake is worth it considering my weak section is RC and that seems impossible to improve no matter how hard I tried. My scores ranged from -3 to -10 in prep and I didn't feel on the better side of that range yesterday

Many people on here have trouble with RC, including me. And many people have also been able to improve it. What have you done so far to practice RC?

Best part about finals week? Library and coffee shops are open 24/7. Like, I need to live in a city where this is a thing all the time.

Hong Kong it is.....

I've done almost all of the most recent RC's. I try to read complex articles time to time. I try to notate but sometimes that takes away too much time. I think if I just isolate RC this month and just solely work on that, then a month to review LG/LR will be plenty and sufficient. The problem is that I think for me to improve RC expands beyond any LSAT-specific passages/questions. I almost felt like I didn't have a full grasp of any of the passages yesterday.

The problem is that I can do moderately well on all the RC's until I get to the 60's, then it's just a constant -7 to -10. They're so ridiculous.

I highly recommend the PT 1-38 Cambridge packets for RC. Although these are older PT's, it's really good practicing for timing and just doing dense passages.

Did you take the Manhattan free proctored exam at Penn also? I took one there back in August I think

I was there in August, I believe. The only other soul in my proctored exam was a girl. Are you that girl?! Haha

Haha yes, I am that girl. Small world. Hey, if you are in the area (assuming you are), I go to school in Philly if you ever want to meet up and take PTs together at a library or something. Feel free to PM me.

mememememe~~~ as well~~~
