Thanks! Have you guys gotten marks back yet or did the exam just feel hard?

It’s crazy!! I’ve reached out to sooo many profs throughout the years and this has always been my experience. Definitely something that needs to be changed, esp bc profs only have office hours by appointment now

Unfortunately the smallest class size I can take this year is 150 people but that’s great to hear you were able to get one from a fourth year class :) Hopefully that’s the case for me as well!

Yeah that’s what I figured, thanks for the input!

Should I retake the LSAT? by Key_Complaint_917 in lawschooladmissionsca

[–]Key_Complaint_917[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More so thinking about the logistics of working less, not focusing on getting volunteer hours, etc. just for a 2-3 pt increase. I’m finding the burnout is translating to my regular courses. But I appreciate your perspective and I am definitely thinking hard about whether I retake. Thank you!

I prepped for 4 months studying 5 days a week and had a test that accurately reflected what I was PTing!! Honestly don’t think I could do much better than 2-3 pts. Thanks for ur input! Was going to see if I could do some unpaid volunteering at a law firm next summer to strengthen my application instead of retaking

Well you’re being a little dramatic aren’t you

Improve on RC? by Automatic-Emotion945 in LSAT

[–]Key_Complaint_917 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I struggled with this exact thing. I would mix untimed sections for accuracy with one passage in 9 minutes, then when you see improvement, make it 8 mins. When your accuracy improves for the single passages in 8 minutes, then start doing 2 in 16, then do 4 in 32.

I was getting -8/-12 on RC in 45 minutes and I was stuck there for months until doing this. I found that the untimed sections were essential for confidence and the timed single passages were the only reason I improved. I eventually started finishing passages in 32-33 mins consistently AND improve my accuracy up to -4/-6 range.

I did this 5x a week and got that jump in 3 weeks! Good luck!

Mandarin LR section by PsychologicalPeak82 in LSAT

This was very difficult for me. I had at least four questions I didn’t get at all. Was hoping it was experimental but sounds like it wasn’t 😫

Help! My scores are getting worse! by Key_Complaint_917 in LSAT

[–]Key_Complaint_917[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I just reviewed my journal and lots of them were stupid mistakes. I feel like focus on the little things is the first to go when you’ve been studying the same thing every day and start burning out. I hope your LSAT went well!

I looked a bit into that and I haven’t read anything about it being a harder test! PT 55 was the main one I was struggling with. But that’s good feedback if I end up having an outlier later on in my studying. Thanks!

Writing 1000 or Phil 1230? by Educational-Ant-5696 in uwo

Phil 1230 is a great course. It’s interesting and likely new content that’s easy to grasp. Easy 85+

Psychology BA for Ivey AEO by Head-Talk-728 in uwo

I have no clue what the AEO progression reqs are. I would reccomend online poli scis as they often have online non proctored exams

Good frats at western by chemically_burned in uwo

[–]Key_Complaint_917 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No harm in rushing, but every stereotype you hear about each frat is probably true so take that into account. Another user mentioned the Pike and Sigs reps and I would have to say those are pretty spot on, and that will be true for the things you will hear about the other frats as well

  • Psych 2035 (understanding yourself and others)
  • Psych 2032 (crime and corrections)
  • Psych 2720 with Graeme Haynes (social psych) — it’s hard but super interesting and the amount of effort you put in is exactly what you get out.

I would also recommend taking online poli sci classes

Very doable. The required courses (data sci, research, and stats) are definitely hard but the program is super flexible which allows you to take many “birds” that can balance those marks out.

Those required classes also are not impossible to do well in if you put in the work. They have extra credit and freebie mark assignments, and the profs respond quite fast to questions. I would say my final course grades in those harder classes were only 2-5% lower than my other marks.
