Welcome and good luck!

I give tours at my law school for the admissions office. I wouldn't worry too much about dress, etc. I would emphasize that you take advantage of the visit to really see if the school is right for you. Ask genuine questions in relation to things …

Hi @"Chipster Study" I don't think it was necessary to ask permission to have look around the campus, but once they've invited you, it is a great opportunity to learn more about the school, esp. the specific program you are interested in.
-
@klyons If your concern is for the specific study of logical reasoning, diagramming, etc... that the LSAT is testing, I wouldn't be too worried since it doesn't play too much in law school and legal practice. If instead you are concerned about the …

Congrats!
-
Ya @kennedybj I wouldn't worry about it, casual dress is fine.
-
Ya @"Grey Warden" I'd wait to take the test when you feel ready. Try to simulate test conditions, including variations in noise, when taking a PT. Note that even if you'd take the actual LSAT purely for preparatory reasons, it would not mirror t…

Well, if you will be responding with an acceptance or a rejection, then it seems like a thank you in the response would be appropriate. But if you are asking whether you should send an independent thank you note, I don't think it is necessary, as…

Are you referring to offers you will accept or reject?
-
Sounds like something that you should be happy about.
-
I didn't.

Sometimes I did 5 sections, but more often I did 4. When I did 4, I would do the 4 sections without a break, and thought that somewhat compensated for 5th section.
-
Ya, I wouldn't worry. They probably just haven't posted signs yet.
-
I interviewed for 2014 - feel free to PM also if you'd like to chat.

Yes, @Leahalee circle the numbers in the actual preptest, not on the scranton, and refer back to those questions if you have time at the end to reevaluate your answer choices. I also really liked The Paper Chase. The TV series is sometimes overloo…

@"Dillon A. Wright" is the man to contact.
-
Hi @shayaslomovics Are you referring to your LSAC or 7sage account?
-
@"Chipster Study" I don't think you should worry too much about outlines; there's enough to worry about before law school. The basic idea of outlines is to have the essentials of the course in reduced form. Outlines vary in length, depending on …

Don't repeat the LG via memorization, but go through the steps and mechanics for finding the answers. Try analyzing the features as you are doing this, i.e. note the limited groups and possibilities, play around with even hypothetical scenarios, se…

Hi @louis2014 First, the negative: your time lagging is likely more than you suspect. (Your title says 3-5 minutes. You have 3 minutes remaining, and 8.75 on average per game, so 5.75 minutes would be the time you might think you need, but this i…
-
Hi @Riju2015 The percentage in the stimulus is "of those responding who have received" the mentioned treatment. So even if the 6+ months group had more people responding, the percentage of those that felt the treatment "made things a lot better" …
-
Let me just add (b/c I've had to field lots of questions re competitiveness): U of T has been for me, and hundreds of current U of T students and alumni I've spoken to, a very friendly and warm place. Unfortunately, there is often a mistaken reputa…

Typical nice gesture from @"Dillon A. Wright" and 7sage.
-
I'm a 2L at the University of Toronto. I'd be happy to add my experience here or via PM if anybody wants, but I'd like to qualify the above post for readers by saying that the experience of law students are varied, and none will fully capture your …
-
Yes, the frustration of applying the LSAT to the world and expecting nice, clear categories. People just mean "likely" or "probably", and are avoiding categorical statement because things are typically not that clear and categorical.
-
Interesting @"Jonathan Wang" (Who'd have thought all that pencil knowledge would come in handy one day.)
-
@toughchoice Besides for reasons mentioned above, a diagnostic test also reveals where you should be focusing your energy. People have different natural or developed skills, and one person's easiest section (e.g. LR) might another's hardest. You'…
-
Those locations are fine, and a combination might best prepare you for any level of noise on test day. But just make sure both are away from friends etc.. that might disrupt you. For now, I'd stick with the library until you get better with focus …

Where do you go to take practice tests? Do you bring along computer, phone etc..?

Congrats!
