I think it depends on where you're at with your studies. If you're learning logic and the other material contents of the test, I think it absolutely helps to develop your understanding. This is about 90% of your prep. Just because it's not a waste o…

Ok, it's been a few VERY intense weeks since my last update. More to cover than I can even begin to write about, but going to try to hit the highlights--mostly exams. So I've written a lot about torts and before finals, we did another practice exam…

Ok, quick check in! This may be a bit disjointed and stream-if-conscious. I’m sitting in a 24/7 diner getting breakfast. It’s the kinda place that’s been around for +50 years and would still have a sizable smoking section if it could. And that’s how…

Actually, your scores are falling into a very tight range with two outliers representing the top and bottom of that range. The 158 stings because it made that middle digit turn over, but it's definitely within the range of expected outcomes. Every o…

Yeah, at Northwestern. And all of this conforms to everything I've ever heard about every law school, so please don't think this is at all unique to NU! More time to cool off and get some perspective and feeling a lot better. I got my Crim midterm …

Thanks @Andrew_Neiman ! I think all this is pretty normal. So hopefully this thread concludes with a happy ending and, ultimately, the narrative will be that even the people who have a hard time and feel terrible (everyone) can get through it and do…

11/4/19 Part II So the previous post was the upbeat stuff mostly written over the last couple weeks. Here’s the less upbeat, more current stuff which I really want to get down before cooling off. I’ll spin it into something constructive later, but…

11/4/19 Part I It's been a while since I've updated this because the last few weeks have largely been more of the same. I've been keenly aware that I have been completing assignments without really learning the underlying lessons, but I hadn't rea…

What’s your BR usually look like?

@"Splitty and Litty" said: Could I get a link to this strategy? Timing is definitely a weakness of mine, so I'd love to see what worked so well! @Mike_Ross said: I think he'll be posting a webinar soon! Yeah, law school put me behind…
-
Above every median, very nice! So happy to have been a part of your journey and that the timing strategy was ultimately so effective!

I didn’t take a diagnostic, but scored a 152 on my first test after three months of studying, so I set my diagnostic range conservatively in the upper 140’s. Worked up to official 176, so my opinion here is self-evident.

That future students will be deprived of such a great benefit that I enjoyed and that was so powerfully effective in my studies and ultimately transformative in my life is deeply upsetting to me. LSAC's action may help correct the curve, but it will…

@TwoJanez said: literally didn't believe my score when I got the email. Yeah, it's surreal, congrats! So if you could go to school pretty much anywhere, where would you go? lol
-
-
Yeah, it’s mostly percentages. If you get that down, that’s the extent of it. Anything beyond that is so rare it’s probably better to just concede the point than to devote the study time to it.

They'll look at your LSAC GPA which is a number that they generate themselves. They do this because different schools calculate GPA a little differently, and there really needs to be a standard that everyone is following. Your LSAC GPA will be based…

@BinghamtonDave said: Loving this! Can you share a bit about how you are studying? What does your study routine look like? Yeah, that's a really great question. This took me a while to figure out, but I think I've got a workable system now…
-
What's up classmate! How's the view up there? I'm working on Contracts too. I've been hanging on by a fingernail in there, but I think I may have upgraded that to the skin-of-my-teeth with today's efforts. @drbrown2 , I can confirm housing costs fu…

9/26/19 Wow, what a week. Where to even start. So my first cold call; it did not go particularly well. Cold calling is very different depending on the professor. I have one professor who sticks with one student the whole class. No one else really…
-
Thanks everyone! I’m glad this is something there is some interest and potential value in. @lsatplaylist One thing I read which I felt like has been helpful is Short and Happy Guide to Torts. It definitely didn’t get me ahead or anything, but I do …
-
Wow, congrats! Thanks for returning to share!
-
Now that I’m done with admissions, I either have lost perspective or have gained objective hindsight. I say use ED for the purpose it’s there for. Schools don’t offer it as an opportunity for you to gamble. They offer it for people who know for sure…

@AudaciousRed said: Would you suggest maybe learning legal citation during the summer before? No, if you do anything at all before start, pick up some easy intros like The Short and Happy Guides. Having read the one for Torts, I have felt li…

Nice, seems like it's all coming together at just the right moment!

9/12/19 I'm nearly through my second week. So far, it has felt a lot like drowning. By giving it my greatest effort without any respite though, I've so far managed to keep my nose just above the surface--just enough to keep breathing. I feel like i…

You have the logic right here OP. What you’re missing is the grammar, and this is an outstanding example of how little grammatical quirks can fundamentally alter the meaning of a sentence. You’re reading the term as “Japanese people” which refers to…

Yeah, most of this sounds about right to me except I don’t know what math has to do with LG at all. I’ve heard this a lot before, and it’s the kind of thing that immediately sounds plausible for some reason, but any time I’ve actually thought about …

I was working 70 hours/week when I first started studying for the LSAT. At first I'd have big, ambitious study goals for the day and it just wasn't happening. I had to accept that I wasn't superman and acknowledge my limitations. I just couldn't get…
