@weepa777 When I took it last September, they actually kicked someone out for not putting her pencil immediately down after the first section. I can't even describe the look of shock on that girl's face. Very sad.

@nicole.hopkins Yeah, it goes to show there isn't one right answer to the resume problem. I think each admissions officer is different, so there isn't a single template to use. Either way, I think the most prudent advice would be "cost/benefit" …

However, when you are applying for a job, one page max. Always, no exceptions. I know plenty of HR people that simply throw away resumes because they are over one page. Law school applications are different because you are not applying for a job.

@StopLawying There are conflicting viewpoints on this. I have talked to a few admissions advisers, and they seem to think it is generally OK going to a second page if it is worth it. In other words, if you are grasping at straws to go onto a sec…

A few things I do: 1.) In the comments section of the video where JY reads the passage, type out your memory method. Explicitly doing this and forcing yourself to do this really tests whether or not you understand the passage. 2.) Read outside st…

Thanks, guys. I see it. I think I drank a little too much coffee this morning, and I overthought this during BR haha

Two of my favorite blogs have some interesting posts on public defenders, in case anyone wants to read them: http://marginalrevolution.com/marginalrevolution/2012/04/debtors-prison-for-failure-to-pay-for-your-own-trial.html (I remembered reading th…

@"Jonathan Wang" Well, the sage has spoken. I am going to go run to the store and grab 3 months worth of hot pockets. See everyone in a few months!
-
I watch them during BR since it helps me compare my understanding of the passage relative to JY's. If I completely screw up a passage (i.e. the fairy tale passage in PT 39; seriously, what the hell was that passage about?), it helps to have the abi…
-
@lsatblitz I think this hits the nail on the head. I take an exam every other day (with Sundays off), and I BR half the day I take the exam and the rest the following day. I think if you want to improve stamina and also improve your score, add a…

"Many" and "some" are interchangeable with more than 0%. They also mean 1 or more items. I think "typically" and "most likely" and "most" are interchangeable as greater than 50%. "Almost certainly" is in the area between "most" and "all"; I usu…
-
I don't usually do it during a timed PT (sometimes I do, like if I am having trouble analyzing the passage). What I almost always do, though, is circle "strong" words such as "most," "only," "all," etc. This is especially helpful for most strongly …

@"Dillon A. Wright" Perfect! Thanks!

@kvanbeverhoudt It depends on the person. There are 79 (I think) total LSAT exams available. Some people get the score they want with 10 or less while others do 50+. My advice is don't focus too much on the absolute number of exams you take, bu…

@DumbHollywoodActor Just got done doing it. Took me about 15 minutes as well!
-
It depends. If I was 50/50 between two choices, then I go pretty deep in eliminating the trap answer choice. If when I redo the problem during BR, I can still quickly and assuredly eliminate an answer choice, I don't think it's that necessary to a…

I am doing 3 a week, but I take 2 days to BR (very deep BR using an unmarked new test) since I have seen many of the questions before. I do 5 section tests (the additional section of games is always my last section, and I use the games sections fro…
-
Practice, practice, practice. I'm the same way. I'll look at a game during the PT and freak out. I'll BR it with 100% accuracy in like 5 minutes. My advice is to keep practicing under timed conditions and then BR. Over time, the more you do thi…

My birthday is on the 7th as well!

@nye8870 Haha. This is hell of a lot more fun than doing LR questions! Truly, this discussion is awesome. It went from my shower thoughts all they way to economics of IP enforcement.
-
@c.janson35 I don't really see how I flipped my argument (I was lazy with some wording I admit though). I am not saying that not having PDFs is going to be the end all/absolute reason that someone is not going to attend law school. I am instead …
-
@c.janson35 I see what you are saying here, but I disagree. What I meant in my extremism example is to really convey the marginal student. It is true that the most studious students would probably still seek out prep materials. However, the mar…
-
@Matt1234567 Even more important, this hurts those that actually want to study more so than those that don't want to study. At the extremes, the person that isn't going to study, walk in, and get their score was never going to purchase prep mater…
-
That's what I figured the more I thought about it @c.janson35 The LSAC must have been really hurting from these illegal downloads. Why enforce the copyright if you don't gain anything from enforcement? I wonder how they valued the "lost" licensi…

173 +/- 1 point; Harvard. I have 75th percentile gpa at harvard, a masters, and a cpa so what the hell.

I just took my last part of the CPA exam, and I think I passed. I'll probably end up doing tax law or estate planning or elderly law. I have an interest in finance, so going into corporate law is an option as well (I plan on getting a CFA and ABV …
