I’m going to have to disagree with soap on the point of doing the hardest questions first. I think it’s just a general waste of time to over complicate your strategy. You’re going to have do all the questions anyone. Ignore the clock and focus on one question at a time.
@VolatileClumsyAcolyte: it gets harder to increase your score as you go up, but if you work hard and consistently work on your mistakes it’s entirely possible you break 170
got it thank u guys
@soap: lol oh well just get top 10% a umn and then transfer to harvard because you come from a grade deflated undergrad and law school will be easy for you
soap

I think the order in which you do questions is a matter of personal preference. In PTs I've always scored better doing the hardest ones first, but that's just because it reduces the stress personally lol
soap

I guess since I'm paying for all this anyhow I could just wait and reapply lmao

Yeah soap if you get a 175+, I would 100 percent reapply

my mom is so involved in my application proccess she wanted to cater my personal statement to what she believed would make most impact on adcom.
she is helping pay for it but even if so, they shouldnt be too involved
shes a war veteran so she wanted me to spend significant portion of my ps talking about how much her journey affected and inspired me so i ignored her to the fullest by simply saying "ps is about me not you"
speaking of test prep, any 7sage alternatives that include explanations without "youre dumb if u dont get this"
