If the judges will write more highly of you and can expand beyond the "resume-esque" tone of the professor, sure. I honestly don't think it will make a difference if I'm being honest. It's just if you know for sure your other LOR was pretty....blah.…

@Simbatron said: What about personal statements? Thoughts? I mean I would give it an edit. I'm sure you've become a better writer in a year, or at the very least can phrase something better. Perhaps even add something more!

Like every test before it, how different can it be? Maybe an oddball game? So what? Keep calm and kill it. You could show my friend PT 29 and PT 80 and they'd probably score the same and not notice much, if any, difference. I think a lot of it is al…

Re: Cancels. They just don't look good. Even with unlimited takes, I don't think much is going to change. The same people will keep going until to reach their target scores. The others will give up and make excuses why they can't re-take, postpone, …

@Mellow_Z said: Definitely read your admissions ticket. You can't take a cell phone or backpack into the testing center. You're allowed a 1 gallon ziplock bag, with very strict rules as to what can be inside that bag. You will get turned aw…

I think it would be fine to take one on Sat and review Sunday. I have a lot of friends who chose the med school route or other fields and law students by a large margin are neurotic. Perhaps not in a bad way, but with all these unwritten rules that …

@AllezAllez21 said: You can do it. This is just PrepTest 81. It's nothing special. It's just like all the others. The others that you relentlessly prepared for and know how to crush. This is your chance to shine. Embrace the moment as you…

JD-MBA are kind of hard to explain. They are the only degree for which there is no true job for... So most end up going to firms and some receive bonuses for their additional degree. MBA's can help law associates understand the business side of law …

Bonuses tend to be a lot BIGGER. So the base salary, bonus, signing bonus put you right into that 180k-200k bracket. Especially in the in the first 3 or so years, you'll probably make more money. Then it tends to even off between mid-level big law …

I won't be taking the LSAT, but like a boss, probably designer jeans and a $10 from H&M

Car. Somwhere in a locker if you're still in undergrad.

I've heard from tons of folks between a half hour and a hour. So be prepared for both!

Why is postponing never an option for those who should most? I'm not being flippant, as I honestly care and have loved being part of the LSAT forums on the internet. Signed up in 2011 in high school. And I have heard so many times why people can't p…

Don't take it now; you aren't ready. Unlimited takes are just another way to see who was smart(er) and studied and did it the right the first time around. Sure, sometimes people freak out or mess up, but don't deliberately take before you're ready. …

one of those mini 8 ounces of Gatorade, and a Protein Bar. I might not even eat anything because I tend to just have no appetite when being under stress.
