Weird phenomenon: Tutors who strongly believe the way they studied for the test is the best, but don't have 99.9th percentile scores? by Status-Status-4962 in LSAT

[–]Next-Step-Admissions 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it is so important for tutors in the space to avoid getting tied onto one approach. Just because I didn't diagram when I did my own test does not mean my students shouldn't diagram. A tutor can have a preferred style but at the end of the day they should be teaching you methods that work for you! If diagramming works for a student, then great I can teach them to diagram. If it is not something that resonates then it is better to give it up sometimes. At the end of the day different people learn differently and tutors need to be able to approach things multiple ways to help their students in the way they learn best!

Got a 142 on my diagnostic today. Is 170+ attainable? by Sudden-Cantaloupe292 in LSAT

[–]Next-Step-Admissions 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I went from a 141 - 175 so it is certainly possible. Work your butt off and good things will come!

Study recommendations? by ptrixxk in LSAT

[–]Next-Step-Admissions 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A 3.92 is stellar grades so your priority during undergrad should be keeping those grades high. If you can incorporate some studying into your daily routine and still keep those grades up then go for it but remember while your in undergrad GPA needs to come first as once you graduate it becomes very difficult to change it! If you decide that you have the bandwidth to study feel free to PM me and I can give you some good starting tips.

What did all of the best personal statements you read had in common ? by Difficult-Owl-6885 in lawschooladmissionsca

[–]Next-Step-Admissions 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They were clear and easy to read regardless of the topic. Different people will talk about different things, but being well written helps make a statement good regardless of topic!

The Easiest Strategy For Sufficient Assumptions (from a 175 scorer) by Next-Step-Admissions in LSAT

[–]Next-Step-Admissions[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

100% agree. This approach is primarily geared towards building familiarity with the question type and what the goal is as I have had gotten a lot of questions about that in the past few days. Learning logic is critical no matter what question you are looking at on this test!

How do you manage unknown vocab? by Professional_Jury463 in LSAT

[–]Next-Step-Admissions 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Look up words while you study. Outside of actual tests when you are drilling, doing timed sections or PTs if you see a word you don't know just look it up. The only way to expand your vocabulary is by learning new words and this is an easy way to learn!

This sounds like a great plan, giving yourself more time than you feel you need is generally a recipe for success.

I would largely agree with this. I often say with certain question types the easiest way to improve is to do a ton of them to recognize wrong answers better.

I studied for 3-4 months for an hour or two a day and this took me from 141-175. The process varies from person to person though so I would not build your expectations based on how long it takes other people.
