Congrats on graduating with such a unicorn GPA!! I feel like I have been prepping forever now because I remember a year ago when you were a regular poster like it was yesterday!
Thanks! I'm happy to be done and have th…
The Black Ticonderogas have just a little bit softer lead. I never had one break, and that softness makes filling in bubbles faster. However, the tips go dull faster and you'll need like three of them with good edges to do the writing portion (altho…
I second Black Ticonderogas. They are my pencil of choice, hands down.
And just sharpen and bring the whole pack. Don't bring a pencil sharpener. It's messy, and during the test, kills way too much time. Just bring a ton of them. Worst case, you…
Nah. There's no reason for that. I imagine many of us have extra CC classes here and there. It happens. We don't always know what we want when we first start college, or we like pursuing interests that don't always align with our degree. I went …
Yes. You could have both A and B, and it would still be fine. If I told you "Andy ate a hot dog for lunch or he ate one for dinner", and Andy ate a hot dog for lunch AND he ate one for dinner, well, that's okay. Just because he did both, my stateme…
Nope. Not alone. You're doing fine. This test kicks everyone's buts.
Do I have doubts about law school? Maybe a little. But I just finished some very grueling semesters and graduated this week. If I can do what I just did, I can do anything. And I…
Love reading stories like this! I struggle with the LSAT, despite being an exceptional student. I'm still continuing the good fight, but stories like this give me hope.

It's possible this guy got extra time accommodations due to illness. They didn't mention it in the article, but it's def. a possibility.
Oh man... that is a good point!
I just found it amusing and mind boggling... out of ALL the people you could lie to, why on Earth would you lie to lawyers??? Especially in becoming one, you would know how miserable they can make your life once they're pissed off. And he still kept…

Can you possibly include FAFSA and CSS profile deadlines and requirements for schools?
FAFSA now opens in October instead of later as it used to be in years past. It uses your tax info from two years back vs the current tax y…
Had a typing class with real typewriters. I hen peck at around 50 words per minute when copying text, faster when I'm comfortable and thinking of what I'm writing instead of having to look. LOL Guess how I'm probably going to be spending my summer…
MyLsn.com has info people volunteer to put in. Put in your GPA (or range if you're not done) and your LSAT score, and you'll see on the search what your odds of admission are (based on user reported outcomes), and if you click on the school name in …
Depends on your situation. Are you going in with scholarships? Taking a year or two off to get the highest LSAT you can could be worth a lot. Are you living at home? If you have a full ride and are, say, living with family, then your needs would p…
Yeah. They usually count both. So your ultimate gpa averages out to be like a B for that class. LSAC GPA is usually lower than your normal gpa because of things like this.
I think if you can improve enough in another year to offset tens or a hundred thousand dollars or more... it does you more than if you worked for a whole year and scrimped and saved every penny. Financially, it makes sense to fight for those scholar…
Could have been a much bigger distraction to have this poor guy bleed out all over the desk or sneeze or something. I think you suffered the lesser of all possible evils there. Look at it not as a huge slight to you, but on something horrible that …
"Because law school candidates in the current testing year will have anticipated the current paper-and-pencil test format, LSAC has scheduled the transition to begin with the July 15, 2019 test, after this year’s law school admission cycle is largel…

Year over year applicant and application volume data from LSAC, updated daily: https://report.lsac.org/VolumeSummary.aspx
Wow. That is interesting. So.. applications across the board are down, but more people are choosing …
Yeah, I am kind of seeing it the same way. Once you have one on file, they'll probably charge you for any additional ones. But who knows. Guess we'll know for sure in a few months...
When I signed up for July, there was no mention or add on for a writing portion. I wonder if this just means each additional attempt will cost 15? Say, you have an old written one you want to replace. $15 and you could.
Chances are extremely high it would just be me taking it any closer to home. I imagine they would probably want more money to hold a test like that. Anyone have experience with this?
I have mentioned on a previous testing that I would have preferre…
Yep! Grabbed a spot in July. Total win-win for the most part. Downside tho.. it's now a 5- 5.5 hour drive to do it this time There were no other locations listed in the state.
Location, for sure. For me, it has more to do with distance from family. But expense plays a huge factor. For instance, take San Fran. Sure, I might get a scholarship to a school in the area, but what would it be like renting there or living there…
It's sorta like LockDown browser, for those of you who have taken online courses. You get access to that screen only, and they record you and have you scan your environment.

That's awesome. To find one's niche in the world, rock it, and pay it forward is the ultimate life goal. That's better than winning the lotto, I think.
Thanks for the video!
I'm curious to know.. what's keeping you from getting through the CC? Time? Interest? It's in the order it's in for a reason. I know it seems odd, but when you look back on it, it makes more sense. I started going through the CC again, but school …
Honestly? Every time a new LSAT test is published, they seem to have a sale on it. I have snatched up the last three for future use, and every time you buy one, you get a month extension on your account. 5.97 for an extra month and a fresh test? Goo…
