LoL. I just posted a new forum topic because this was one of the subjects I couldn't find to repost back to.
Anyway... I took my first PT after finishing the CC. 5 point improvement. Not what I was hoping, but nothing to sneeze at. I just need a …
More than one lawyer has told me that passing the bar is, by far, the most important factor in a law school (aside from debt). If the stats are the same, the outcomes are the same, but it's not going to cost you a dime and there's no added pressure?…
Hmmm.. maybe you could use the waitlisted-at-various-schools topic, but rephrase it in a positive way. "I've applied to several schools that I'm interested in, but I hope to hear back from your school because I honestly think I would be happiest the…
"If you can take a train I'd say that's 100% doable "
Ha! This is AZ. Pay little taxes, get little benefit. No such thing as trains. Or really much in the way of mass transit at all. Nearly everyone drives. To have an honest-to-god, city-hopping …

Slowing down and really setting yourself up well with a good initial read is the way to go.
Try this. I find when I read it at a comfortable speed, and really try to absorb or imagine the story it's telling, I go back to t…
I like some of the articles from ATL. My Google feed on my phone tends to give me a heads up when one I'd actually want to read comes up. I also think their mobile platform is less ad filled. Which is usually opposite of how these things work. Lo…
And.. I was wrong. I registered a name 4-5 months ago. I just finished the CC and started looking around to see which tests I could PT and use for diagnostics (spoiler: all of them), and I saw when I took my diagnostic when I first bought into the…
It's just time and money, really. Do you want the experience of having done it officially and see where you are from there, and you have money to get another testing date? Then why not? Since the rules were lifted about multiple attempts, I persona…
I had three: a cc, a correspondence program, and ASU listed. I haven't sent ASU yet as I still have 2 weeks till semester end, and maybe another week before grades post. I'm really curious to see if they count the correspondence program
Yeah. Watch the videos anyway. You may see the setup and go "Crap! If I had done that extra step JY is showing, I would have gotten it so much easier/faster!". If you find yourself routinely doing exactly what JY does, over and over again, then ma…

You can’t stop your life for 18 years. I know many people, specifically womxn, who are absolutely miserable bc they chose to put off their education when they had kids (even though they had the financial means to do things …
I'm planning on next cycle applications (2019). It's more a curiosity at this point. Definitely not a pressing need, just wondering. I will need to update my ASU transcripts as I go, I know.
Which schools wouldn't make a decision until final transc…
That's good, too. I really like the question banks here.
They say to keep more recent ones for PTing closer to test date, and to use older ones for drilling. I'll let someone who has a successful outcome answer that one.
Ahh.. I see. Yes, the workbooks are sort of different, but tied to the PS Bibles. I looked them up on Amazon, and looked through the table of contents covered. Seems like they just drill the methods used in the book (think of JY's drills on how to…
@"surfy surf" beat me to it. I was curious about how 1L and 2L schedules work. I am married and have a child, and if when I go to law school, I will have to be away from them during the week (4+ hour drive away). How reasonable is the idea of com…
Honestly? The PS bible for LG isn't going to teach you anything that 7sage didn't already (and then some). I started my journey with self study and the Bibles, before I ever knew about 7sage. the 7sage method works so much better, and goes over mu…
I hate to say it, but I agree with @ChapmanEC . If panic attacks are common, and prevent you from doing well on tests, it might be worthwhile to speak to a doctor. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. I see a dr for thyroid issues, bec…
We Americans always tend to view Canadians as polite, reasonable, and accommodating. Very unlike how it usually is here in the US. I think that situation( "They rejected me, I told them why I should be accepted, and now I'm accepted. ") Would be hig…
I haven't PTed since I started, focusing instead on finishing the CC. I am only a couple percent away from finishing the CC now and PTing again. LG held me up an extra week or so. I am nervous excited about that. I feel like things have clicked soo…
Have you tried, during your BR, to write out an explanation of why your selection is correct and why the others are wrong? Sometimes, we forget our line of thinking/reasoning, and then when we watch the video, we absorb the video's message and then …
Ugh. I hear ya. LG is one of my worst sections. I'm stalled in the CC, working on LG. Thinking maybe I should continue on to RC and work on that and then come back to drilling LG. I know which problems give me the worst trouble now. June comes s…
Agreed, @westcoastbestcoast I bet Med students probably have a similar number of depression, mental illness and substance abuse. Maybe more. They often have 2 - 4 x's the debt load to boot!
Imposter Syndrome strikes everyone at one point or another, I think. The feeling like we don't belong somewhere, or haven't earned the right to be at that nice job/ that awards ceremony/ that school.
A fan once asked the famous author Neil Gaiman a…

Oooh, Oooh! Can it be the time I asked permission to speak frankly after my history teacher asked everyone how they felt about Columbus?
On a somewhat serious note, though... Do any of the…
Honestly? That's what got me here. I would work in the LG Bible, be utterly confused on why I kept missing a question, then go to the free explanations of the problem. Eventually, I got to the point where I was hitting up the videos so much, I th…
Depends on how cold/warm it is, really. It's getting pretty warm in Phoenix, for example. Wool suit probably starting to go by the wayside in favor of linen or cotton. Be comfortable, whatever you wear.
Can't go wrong with some form of business at…
A couple hundred on test prep --> higher score --> $$k to $$$k in savings from scholarships Totally worth it.
Sorry, I have no experience with Varsity Prep. Just this and the Power Bibles. The basic starter course here has been amazing fo…
