  • @kudjo1982 said: @"Alex Divine" thanks. I am also considering getting LSAT Trainer. I have read good reviews about it. What are your thoughts? I'm a big fan of The LSAT Trainer. I think it's great for mindset and strategy. It takes a more in…
  • @smartaone2 said: @"Alex Divine" Yes. I just moved to Houston TX this summer and attended the LSAC law forum. I got a couple of contact cards from two of the schools I want to attend here and have reached out to one of them. I will be contacti…
  • Hi @"Sarah Jane L." My advice is to wait and take in February if you're not feeling ready for the December test. BUT -- work on getting your applications completed before then. I'd still submit the applications by Thanksgiving if you can (or at the…
  • Depends what else you got going on and how quickly you can get through the games. I think going a single PT (4 games) worth of games per day is reasonable if you study full time. Then again, sometimes I come across games that take me an hour + just …
  • @kudjo1982 said: Thanks for the recommendations guys! @"nicolas.saw" and @"Alex Divine" You got it! I actually took a quick check into the book @"nicolas.saw" recommended and it looks really good as well. I will say that while these books h…
  • @smartaone2 said: @CurlyQQQ @"Alex Divine" I will definitely use your ideas and see how it goes. Thanks all for your responses and advice! Do you live in a major city by any chance? If so, there are usually some great events where you can m…
  • @CurlyQQQ said: Oddly enough I found people to speak with through the folks at my job! One Dr. that I work with has a sister who's a judge etc. Simply let people know what you're interested in and they'll definitely try to help. That's been my…
  • Great start! I don't think there's anyway to make a general statement about how much one should expect to improve. For me, while going through the CC, I did a ton of drilling (timed +untimed sections) + fool proofing. So by the time I finished, I h…
  • The night before I eat whatever. It doesn't seem to have any bearing on how I feel in the morning. I just make sure not to drink alcohol. I've been super big on drinking this stuff called Soylent. It's a meal replacement shake with all the recommen…
  • @"Caleb.rohr.church" said: The RC section was my best section, but that has dramatically changed. I want to improve by 5 points on the RC section before December 2nd. I'm at -9 right now on average. Probably not possible I understand, but a I …
  • @"Daniel B" said: I purchased the Master Mind Watch a few weeks back and then found out that it might not be approved anymore. I called into LSAC to find out exactly what the policy is. The representative I spoke with gave me a list of LSAT sp…
  • @Broccoli180 said: @"Alex Divine" I have this moment feeling dizzy and zoning out. When this happens, I can't focus. I also start to doubt myself if the answer is correct or not. I like the advice on just breathing during the exam. I recentl…
  • @tams2018 said: Give yourself 3 hours and complete two LSAT exams untimed. Two this for three weeks. If your endurance doesn't improve, I owe you a coffee. LOL This is interesting... So you're doing the exams untimed, but trying to complete …
  • Nah, this won't hurt you. Even if they realize the typo, they won't care. Whenever I have to send an important email/document, I print it out and read it out loud. That seems to catch 99% of typos.
  • @"Rigid Designator" said: For another perspective: http://leiterlawschool.typepad.com/leiter/2017/11/republican-tax-hikes-target-education-michael-simkovic.html To answer your question, my understanding is no, but only on the assumption t…
  • Ahhh I just saw this! Congrats everyone and thank you so much
  • @"forest.dearing.2017" said: @"Alex Divine" I'd love to join this group if possible. I've finally conceded and think June 2018 is the best lsat date for me. Happy to hear that! You're in
  • @necessarynaomi said: Looking to join this group for a possible February/June take. @"forest.dearing.2017" said: @"Alex Divine" I'd love to join this group if possible. I've finally conceded and think June 2018 is the best lsat date fo…
  • @"hmish-2018" said: I signed up for the premium course in able to get more out of the lessons, but with the December LSAT being less than a month away, I am finding myself overwhelmed with all of the lessons. Is there anyway to cut down the nu…
  • @TheNotoriousRBG said: Would love to join! Righto! Welcome RBG!
  • Congrats!!
  • No personal experience negotiating law school scholarships, but I've read an effective strategy is to pin schools against each other. For example, if NYU offers you a $39k scholarship and Duke a $65k scholarship, you can notify NYU of your Duke scho…
  • @sillllyxo said: im def in. is there a time/day set? any chance for friday/saturday/or sunday night I can't join until after 8:30 EST Hi there -- I'll definitely add you to the group. As of now, I was thinking the first BR group meeting wou…
  • 1) Figure out what the two variables in the statement are. 2) Choose one to be the sufficient, and the other to be the necessary. 3) Negate the one you chose to be the sufficient
  • Why do you think you can't focus? I find that people have all types of problems when it comes to focusing and, depending on your source of problem, there are different solutions.
  • I read Intro to Logic by Gensler in undergrad for a very basic logic course. It's easy to read and written especially for beginners. You also can get away with only reading the first 8 chapters or so, the rest I think it much more advanced than anyt…
