@lcmhomes said: I'm practically devoting the remaining days left to get in as many lessons under my belt as possible; 12 v 24/7 if need be. Wondering if I change my Feb test date to June whether or not law schools would even consider it for F…

Unfortunately, it won't give you a leg up at all that he was an alum. However, him being a CMO might make for nice LOR regardless. Especially if he can write a strong one. I feel you on not wanting to cue work in before it's absolutely necessary. D…

@stormhur said: @"Alex Divine" said: I think you're in a really great spot! As @"Leah M B" said, Ult+ is the best value because of all of the extras you'll get. And judging from where you're starting from, I think June is a realist…

Why does it seem like your efforts were counterproductive? When you took your last PT/sections and went -7/-8, what exactly did you set out to improve on. I find with LR, the more specific you can get with your drilling the more you'll improve. Kno…

@"zona.hijazi" said: Hi everyone, I sent in my applications a couple weeks ago but I have a question/concern that I am sort of freaking out about. I have gotten a few parking citations from the parking patrol at my university for parking …

@FutureSportsLawyer said: Also, contrary to popular belief, it does matter to some extent what law school you attend right? Very much so.

@FutureSportsLawyer @"Alex Divine" said: Don't attend a law school with plans on transferring. You never can predict your grades and many transfers end up paying sticker and missing out on OCI, networking, and journal opportunities. Ma…

Generally speaking, if your LSAT is above the 75th%tile of a school, your chances will be as good as they can be as a splitter. Check out mylsn.info and input your GPA/projected LSAT and you'll see how some past splitters fared. Though, it's impos…

@"sbc.mom_3x" said: Should I keep moving forward in the games or continue doing the same until I get them under a desirable time? First I just kept moving along, thinking I'll just approach similar games. Which I have. And I do decrease my t…

@"sbc.mom_3x" said: So I'm in the middle of fool-proofing. The first time I do a game, I will just use a stop watch and see how long it took me, while trying to work it as fast I can. I'm getting -0 or -1 on all the games. But my first go i…

@FutureSportsLawyer said: I really need some advice because I’m completely lost and on the struggle bus. So I have taken the LSAT twice and got the exact same score both times. My score is way to low to apply to any schools I’m relatively inte…

@ThomasKennedy2455 said: Hey Alex, Thanks a lot for the reply, I appreciate it! I will be working part time so I should have a good amount of time to study. Yup @Sami 's advice is spot on. As far as hours go per week, I think you should…

@akeegs92 said: Thanks for the support @BagelBiter @"Alex Divine". You both are right. It's just a PT. I guess I just had really high hopes for myself and was really excited, then just got completely unnerved from RC. > What has helped y'…

@ThomasKennedy2455 said: How much time would someone recommend studying each week with hopes of getting in the 165-170 LSAT range on the September LSAT after a diagnostic test score of 145? Everyone is different with regards to their toleran…

Hey @akeegs92, First and foremost, don't feel bad over a practice test. It is, in fact, just for practice, so it really doesn't matter at all in the scheme of things. That strong emotional attachment to your PTs may be part of why you locked up. Na…

@BagelBiter said: @Sami Thanks for the encouragement. Good luck on your third attempt! @"Alex Divine" The range for my 10 most recent PTs before December was 170-179. 175 was my mode score (x3). I averaged - 3 LR (combined), - 3 LG, …

@TheMikey said: @westcoastbestcoast said: 4. Social life?? *probably not possible in 1L definitely possible. most of the 1L's I know are drunk half the time, haha. Let's go to NYU/Columbia together and follow suit, haha.

As always, @sami nailed it better than I ever could. One thing I wanted to add is to make sure you really understand the ideas of what it means to be sufficient and what it means to be necessary. Not just the theory behind those words but what it lo…

If you're willing to reapply/retake for next cycle, I agree with Sami that you seem ready and should shoot for February. What were your PT ranges going into your last take? I know you say your average was a 174 but just curious about the ranges of …

@westcoastbestcoast said: @"Alex Divine" . Which is why I find it odd there are quite a few people on TLS'ers who say that its better to enjoy the summer and that 0L prep may only lead you to get bad habits @"Alex Divine" said: …

@westcoastbestcoast said: I read a post by a TLS user who graduated number 1 in his class in T2 school and he said that 0L prep was necessary for him to succeed in law school. He said basically if you haven't prepared, you are potentially com…
