@"surfy surf" said: @Bamboosprout it’s localish to me (1 hr flight) and I wanted to have an excuse to come to this area anyways since I love it here. I had this random weekday off work so I took advantage. This is my 2nd year applying so I wan…

@Micolash said: @Bamboosprout Thank you for the encouraging comment! I'll definitely be looking up other threads for similar advice. I just find it crazy when I think I can spend an entire day wisely and then I look up and the sun is already g…

@"Leah M B" said: Since I don't know all that much about this myself, I did some googling and read some more info. I think these articles are really helpful: https://blog.powerscore.com/lsat/why-to-become-a-judicial-law-clerk-after-law-sc…

@spitzy11 said: Many big law firms provide clerkship bonuses (as alluded to above). The higher the level of clerkship, the higher the bonus (often). It depends on what you want to do in terms of what level you should clerk at. Federal clerkshi…

@LSAT_Wrecker said: I saw this the other day. I guess we are all doing it wrong. I've already put an attorney on retainer, hoping to make it a class-action I'm in.

@lsatplaylist said: The Law School Toolbox is another resource you may find helpful. Oh why? I have this on my list of to do's after my apps, but I thought it was more for preparing for 1L academics.

@"surfy surf" said: I just spoke with a current 2L at a t12 who externed for a judge during the summer before 2L. She said that one only gets paid $60k/year for a clerkship and it’s a temporary position (usually 1 year, sometimes extended to 2…

This is really amazing! Thanks for sharing these tips. I really like using the pencil to guide your reading and keep a steady pace.

Don't overwhelm yourself. Biting off more than you can chew won't benefit anyone. Be aware of your limits and reflect on your activities. Make sure you don't burn out or get sick mentally or physically.
-
Don't get overwhelmed, and don't overwhelm yourself mentally. Be sure to take breaks, and have hobbies. Find contentment and happiness in routine, hardwork, and slow, systematic growth. Wish you the best of luck.

Don't be. It's hard to put everything you learned into practice perfectly right away. You're like a diamond in the rough right now. You need time and experience to chisel yourself into a shining gem. You need time to slowly put everything you learne…

@"Michaela.Pratt1" said: I'm still searching for the perfect method, but so far, what has worked well for me is along the lines of what you mentioned in regards to reading the passage a second time after a good attempt at all the questions. I …
-
Yup, did that exactly. I would recommend doing the bibles first, and then 7sage. 7sage, at least if you do ultimate or ultimate+ is way more in depth and aims way deeper at the root of logic than powerscore bibles. But doing the bibles first can giv…

@"Leah M B" said: I only know a little bit about them, but yes they are considered really prestigious, particularly if you clerk for a federal judge. From what I've seen, they set you up really well for career success and better entry-level po…

@Emily2122 said: @Bamboosprout It's definitely possible. Biglaw is a great stepping stone because it affords one money, prestige, and connections. That's good to know. I always wonder if choosing a specific path can be a stigma towards other…

@"Testing..." said: @Bamboosprout thanks for the advice! I am curious whether you use passages from earlier tests (1-38?) Yeah, I used them, and more. When I'm at the question bank, I just search by ALL PTs, because I've already done every R…

@"Mia Fairweather" said: @Bamboosprout what recordings are you talking about? The explanations that JY has for the RC section or is there video footage that I am missing? In many of the more recent PTs, JY has actual recordings of himself ta…

Wow, this is an amazing breakdown, especially step 3 for the harder questions. The referential language can be really distracting, especially when a question has more than one of those answer choices and you have to actually break each one down. =( …
-
Well, you aren't wrong. I would just say that I think if you can recall that negating an answer choice is a contradiction, then you can probably just recall that the original answer is true. I suppose if you have two answer choices that you feel are…

Congrats on the LSAT score! LSAC is probably more reliable. LSN is self reported, and there are biases that may not be apparent.
