Amortization is paying off your debt over a period of time ("amortizing" your debt over 10 years, say). It wraps interest into its calculations, which is why it's not just a simple division problem. Negative amortization is when the monthly payment …

I want to be clear - there's no denying that it's pragmatic and often even actively practical to not painstakingly check every answer in LG if you're not a straight-up robot. I'm not saying everyone should painstakingly disprove every wrong answer c…

http://www.lstscorereports.com/schools/osu/jobs/location/2014/ In 2014, 71% of OSU grads stayed in Ohio. 3.3% went to New York (7/210), and 2.9% went to DC (6/210). Granted, I don't know how many people wanted to leave Ohio, so it could be that all…

@Alejandro said: In the meantime, I think it makes sense to employ strategies to maximize our score and help us finish sections in time while always striving to improve and get to a level where we don't even need to skip answer choices anymore. The…

@hlsat180 said: Please clarify me if I misunderstand but, AFTER making a final selection, what circumstances justify immediately continuing to check the other non-selected answers? I think you're correct that there is a difference between "POE" as…

I'm genuinely curious why "read every choice" in LR/RC is a largely-uncontested piece of advice, but "don't even look at the others one you see one you like" is the standard in LG. If you understand a question so well (in any context) that you can…

Don't ask us; talk to your prof about it. From my seat, it sounds to me like you don't know that prof very well. If that's the case, your rec isn't likely to be super strong anyway. But if you're dead set on having him write one, I suggest that you…

Sometimes I think that lawyers, law students, and prospective law students (collectively) are the only people who are keeping Kinko's in business.

The only reason we know the SuperPrep 1 test dates is because they disclosed them in the book on release; they didn't in SuperPrep 2 as far as I know. So it could be a Sabbath test, a February test, a test given only to people with income >$500,0…

@quinnxzhang said: You're going to have some serious problems if you memorize your so-called "indicator" phrases and apply them blindly. For example, "if it's not the case that people who aren't handsome are happy, then I am happy" is not a so-call…

Presence of comparative reading and substitution LG question means post-December 2008. Past that it's impossible to know for sure, although the difficulty of the substitution question is suggestive. My hunch is Feb 2009 (PT 56.5), though Feb 2010 is…

@rachel said: I've been playing around with this some more this morning and agree that now memorizing "converting" Group 3 and Group 4 indicators to another type is one more thing to remember, and one too many. That slowed me down. This is potenti…

How are you going to figure out when to use this trick if you don't know the group 3 and group 4 words by heart already? And if you do know them, why aren't you just doing it properly?

Nice work! Bask in the glow for a while, then pull it back out and start ripping all your mistakes apart. This result means nothing if it cannot be replicated, so back to work we must go. You can make up for all the missed feel-goods later (and in…

I'm a huge fan of 13.3" and 14" form factors. Obviously, if you have a car it's not nearly as big an issue, but living in New York City and lugging around a 15" laptop got old real quick. I switched to a 13.3" after law school, and now I'm on a 14".…

This thread shows that Apple's done a really fantastic job of marketing. I'd love to see non-anecdotal evidence that Macbooks are more reliable than Windows machines, because I don't think it exists. Outside of actual slopfest bargain-basement com…

One of my students got a near-full-ride at a T6 after getting off the waitlist, so it's definitely possible (though that degree of scholarship is obviously not typical). But it's unpredictable and therefore not really smart to rely on. jdawg's advic…

At least at the top schools, nothing relevant happens in your third year because you already have your offer and therefore don't have much incentive to do anything. Really no different than if you get a job or get into law school while in your first…

Congratulations! Now, you get to take a test and blind review it to find out where your theory is not translating into practice. Work on those things, and then repeat until target score is achieved (hooray!) or until burned out (take a break, then s…

Highly suggest you attend a blind review group (look down for this week's schedule) and see if that helps you. Personal tutors are obviously fantastic (I'd be homeless if that weren't the case), but discussing the test with like-minded and similarly…

Arguments involving causation are a subset of arguments generally. You weaken every argument the same way - by attacking the support relationship - so that's what you do with causation arguments too. Your question is sort of like asking how you can …

You don't mention feeling pressure in LR or RC, which suggests to me that it's not your psychology so much as you're just not good enough at LG and your awareness of this fact is distracting you from productive things. To your credit, you acknowledg…

You have your master diagram that you never draw on, and you reproduce it when you need it. It really doesn't take that long to draw a few dashes in a row, and if you have to do it a ton of times in one game (making it take a long time in the aggreg…

UT-Austin might have to throw $$ at you now. Serves em right for not taking you earlier when they had the chance!

To answer your question directly, a hypothetical 3.0/170 has a pretty reasonable chance to get you in at Vanderbilt, but I'm very skeptical about the prospects of a full ride, even as a URM. That said, you're putting the cart waaaaay ahead of the ho…

NYU probably won't make that decision. Most T14 schools will probably try and go after a candidate with that kind of profile instead of just giving up. But a school like, say, Brooklyn Law or Fordham might decide not to. Think 'true' safety schools …

As a disclaimer, I obviously have no actual insight into why Manhattan or PowerScore do what they do. This is my speculation: If I had to guess, I'd bet it's centered around having a more holistic theoretical approach ("identify the mismatch, then…
