It really shouldn't be a long night. If you feel you "have" to go to your dream school, ride out the wait list while prepping for your next LSAT and next year's cycle. If you are willing to go to the other or even think you may be, put down the de…
@"surfy surf" I don't know that I would buy the book again. I have enjoyed it, but there are no real "ah ha" moments. TBH, the DUI attorney's 24 hours have been the most interesting to me because he goes in depth about running a solo practice, the…
You make a good point on the term explanations, although having lived abroad for a long time, I know that's not an issue either with the Japanese or South Korean readers (for Sesame Street and Star Wars). But in the desire to be truly globally rele…
Just tell the truth.
Integrity still counts for something in this world. Be careful of taking advice from anyone willing to throw away yours on an internet forum.
People tend to lose sight over the fact that admissions people are, in fact, people…
I would ask the admissions staff at each school their opinion.
My n=1, I'm over 20 years removed from my UG studies and over 7 years away from my master's studies, so I'm using one academic and one professional reference (who I've had a relationshi…

Yes, but I don't think in those tests. Think more like 62+ being far harder than anything 1-60.
They have shifted from basically wanting simple "deductive" reasoning to shifting to "inductive" reasoning. The level of infere…
Things I've done this week:
Last fresh PT on Monday with BR / review the next two days
Thursday through Sunday: LG timed (4-5 "seen before" games a day), 1 fresh comparative RC passage a day (untimed), and 2 pages of fresh LR questions (untimed). …
With the exception of the allowed zip lock bag which goes under my seat and my phone which I leave in my car, the rest of the things you describe pretty much stay at my house where I normally store them. I guess I could move them into short term st…
I was largely, "Meh". I really really hope the show doesn't turn into endless internal fights at ZSL or SZL or whatever their new firm ends up as. I didn't really like Mike Ross as a character (his whole life was based on a continuing lie) however…
To offer support: My LSAC GPA is lower than yours by a fair bit. (Thanks to 1991 LSAT_Wrecker for dropping out of school without withdrawing in my first attempt at college.) It is what it is and I (you) can't change that now. However, throw up t…
One totally subjective theory: WashU is known for giving out big scholarship money for high LSAT scores (helping out splitters like me). They may really like your GPA as an off-set.
Either way, they offered. If you want to see the school, take t…

I’m 38, a single mom of 2. Been out of school since 2000, finishing up my BA now I’m hopes to apply to law school in the next 2 years.
Anyone else in a similar position? How do you stay motivated? Any worries about ju…
From one retired vet to a family of vets, thanks for your service.
My family is in a similar situation. When I retired, we moved to a new city and happened to find a great school for our daughter and a job my spouse loves. So our chances of moving…
I typically don't take notes of the sort you mention while BRing; however, I do make note cards out of big ticket "a-ha" lessons learned or CC knowledge uncovered during review that makes a light turn on for me. Its very subjective. I also have ~2 a…
Taking a break from BRing to type this
I think BR helps me train to really pull apart each part of an argument and shows me that every word has meaning. In the beginning, I would just breeze through a stimulus and pick an A/C that felt right. No…
I think you are trying to do to many PTs too quickly. It is 11 weeks between now and the September 8 LSAT date. If you are trying to 50-80 between then and now, that's almost 3 PTs a week. I know that for me, there is no way I could test, do a tho…

I've done all PT's as drills from 19-40, so I have 50-80 to do as full PT's, and I'm trying to create a PT schedule to aim to do all of them. Should I do aim to all 30 of those PT's? Currently it takes me like 3-4 days t…
If my schedule holds, I'm taking PTs 73, 79, & 83 whole and PT 55 split into sections (as I'll be on a west coast vaca that week). FWIW, I would not try to get too cute with trying to figure out "what LSAC is doing." Just learn the material.

PT 35, Logic Game 3:
"I know the LSAT is trying to be culturally sensitive and stuff, but there are no Shiro's and Umeko's in the Kim family"
I actually thought the exact same thing the first time I did that game.
FWIW, I'm registered for the July and September LSAT. Regardless of how I feel exiting the July test, I'm going to give myself 1 day off and then jump right back into studying at the current effort level. Two possible outcomes: I end up scoring t…
