Glad you folks are finding it helpful. Like I said above, if there's anything in particular you'd like to hear about (or anything that just grinds your gears), feel free to pass it along and I'll see what I can do.

Put another way - LSAT information is out there and readily available. There are several sources of free LR explanations, and 7Sage's free LG explanations. Why would you ever need a tutor? It's the exact same thing - sometimes, you simply don't know…

I would be cautious about dismissing consultants out of hand (and yes, in the interest of full disclosure, I have done consulting work for 7Sagers as well as private clients, so I speak at least a little bit from personal interest). Still, I promise…

@nicole.hopkins OH NO YOU DI-INT

My read on sentence 3 is that they are just defining the terms. It's like when I lay out JY's favorite "All Jedi use the force. Luke is a Jedi. Therefore, he uses the force" argument. It looks like this: J -> F J L half is clearly wro…

Black Ticonderogas are responsible for my 181. (But in all seriousness, when I took my LSAT I used a regular Ticonderoga. Always liked those for some reason)

Though I obviously don't speak for JY and Alan re: their pricing structure, I really don't see how the course would get much cheaper than it already is. Even the cheapest tier has 1200+ question explanations, and if you see the actual question displ…

PS: Don't go to Golden Gate Law School.

It depends on each school's grading curve and what restrictions they put on your scholarship. If they only require you to stay in the top 90%, then you're probably fine. If it's top 50%, that's really iffy. You might think it's no big deal to stay i…

Just ask yourself - what supports what? If the correct answer choice is supposed to support the stimulus, then it's a strengthen. if the premises are supposed to support the correct answer choice, then it's an MSS. In this case, we're being ask…

A huge chunk of the 'difficulty' on logic games is simply the LSAC throwing you a curveball and zagging when you expect them to zig. The value in doing old, "irrelevant" logic games comes from developing your approach and expanding your toolbox, not…

CM is a sufficient condition because the rest of the sentence is only applicable if it's a cold month. During the cold months, "X" happens. What's "X"? Well, "X" says that if the garden is well coordinates and contributes strong visual interest, the…

I think it'll be really hard to do. I consider Austin, Vandy, and UCLA to be mortal locks for the top 20, and I'd actually be pretty shocked to see Emory drop out too. So that leaves them having to beat out at least three of GW, USC, Minnesota, and …

That's okay, you said it *could* be true. Makes all the difference! That's why we lawyers are all noncommittal hedging bastards

I'm a little surprised that Irvine ranked ahead of Davis straight out of the gate, but in hindsight I guess Chemerinsky's target really was UCLA all along. Really a great story there, they did all the right things to attract the student body they wa…

That's how you know you're getting better - when the rules of logic cease to be optional and start becoming your default mode of thought. And if you think about it, isn't that how it's supposed to be anyway?

Also, I second Nilesh's recommendation to attend as many 1L "bar review" sessions as possible.
-
Selectivity is a ranking criterion iirc, so it's more likely that a school would rise in rank BECAUSE they're selective, not become more selective as they rise in rank.
-
Just google the various big test prep companies in your area, they do these things for publicity all the time. You may also want to get in touch with the prelaw societies at the 'name' schools in your area (in your case UT Austin and perhaps even UT…

Fine advice given here regarding steps to take. Nothing really to add there. I want to focus on your LSAT situation a bit more. Starting from a -7 to a -10 every time due to RC is a tough pill to swallow when a standard 170 scale is -10 to -12. Yo…

@tsamvelyan there is no life outside the LSAT. you'll see.

@emli1000: I used a pen as a concession to visibility. I didn't bubble either, though to be fair I think I would have been able to manage that in the remaining time. And, you can hear my cell phone notifications when I get emails, too! Bad!!! @Mat…

"Maybe it may take a bit longer to write up those documents but maybe they will be the deciding thought processes that win case after case?" This line of reasoning conflates having an attention disorder with the possibility of having a different, p…

I can't help you with JY's, but since you asked for mine you can find it here: Also, for the record, I think you have an incredibly odd sense of 'entertainment' my friend. And I mean that in the nicest way possible .
-
They're not bad. You can take them as a last resort. But if you're already this pressed for preptests so far away from June, might I suggest that you take the opportunity to re-take some of the ones you did long ago instead? For two reasons 1: yo…

Whether a mistake is 'careless' is completely irrelevant. You either made a mistake or you didn't. Did you skip a word? Misread a word? Mis-parse a sentence? Well, how are any of those things remotely excusable in any context, when words are the too…

I'm going to put out a controversial opinion in devils-advocate style - as in, I'm not really sure I agree with the reasoning, but I'm going to present it as if I do because I'm curious to hear the counterarguments others come up with. I'll start…

Confusion often arises because negation is part of the process of taking a contrapositive ("flip and negate"). Just remember the following: Contrapositives return the exact equivalent of your initial statement. Saying that "All apples are delicious…

The advice given here is solid; take it slow, do things the right way, and don't worry about how long it takes you. One thing I want to stress - your ability to finish a section on time is directly linked to your competence with said material. Thu…

I'm not involved in this aspect of the business, but I suspect that this won't be a thing anytime soon because of the risk that people will post LSAC-copyrighted stuff. The LSAC takes that kind of thing very seriously and the site can get in a LOT o…
