  • @tylerdschreur10 said: Hopefully they're just being super paranoid about getting some late applicants with 180s?? Idk. I'm way above they're 75th for lsat and my gpa is right at the 25th. Weird. Am i right to assume WL pretty much assures no s…
  • If I were you, I might make a plan like this: -Submit application at the end of January. -Include an addendum saying that you believe you underperformed on the December test and that your recent practice tests were in the upper 160s. You are appl…

  • @LSATcantwin said: > At home it was quite - but my cat HATED that I was sitting taking a test and ignoring her. She became a pest. Haha when I tested at home and it was just me and my roommate's dog, I got a lot of tennis balls thrown …
  • It's not a full meditation, but I'd also work on coaching your thinking about test day itself. Remember that every PT was once a regular test. You're not heading off to D-Day, you're just taking PT 84. Tell yourself that, really soak it in, and try …
  • It might be helpful to find a way to connect with a female lawyer to ask about the skirt vs pantsuit issue. I would guess that you'd be fine with pants most if not all of the time, but I could imagine there are instances or employers that require sk…
  • Ditto, following just to hear opinions/reviews. Especially being far removed from undergrad, I'm interested in anything that will give me a leg up coming in. It feels like my undergrad was in the stone age compared to now haha. I'm seriously behind …
  • Wooooo! Congratulations!!
  • @wetcoastcanuck said: Bumped as I have a similar question, but not as high stats. Been out of school 14 years, worked/travelled around the world with the federal government and still doing so, prob to the detriment of my LSAT studying! …
  • Interesting, yes your LR issue sounds more like either nerves or stamina. Can you post your score break down for maybe the last 1 or 2 PTs so we have a clear idea of where you're at? Again just to make sure we're clear, you're saying when you do 1 …
  • Yessssss! I'm so happy hearing all these acceptance stories.
  • Yes! Yes! Yes! We can never hear too many of these stories. Congratulations to you - your hard work has earned you that spot at an incredible school. https://media0.giphy.com/media/QN6NnhbgfOpoI/giphy.gif
  • @BinghamtonDave said: In my experience the form is not that common, but the way in which the answer choice is formulated is more common. Earlier this week I did PT 46 and there is a flaw question on the third section (23) in which the test wr…
  • @pasu1223 said: @"Leah M B" if I do get some part time work or volunteer some do you think it would still need to be addressed because it is not full time work? Also thanks for the help! I think so, but it could be a really short note that y…
  • I don't know that it will keep you from being accepted, but yes that is a large enough gap that you will need to address it. They will want to know what you were doing with your time. Volunteering, working part time, studying, etc. I highly recommen…
  • Sounds like you already have your question answered, but I looked at this and started formulating my own way to explain it, might as well type it out. (Also, I started literally thinking through an explanation in JY's voice hahaha. He's officially p…

  • @"Alex Divine" said: As far as timing goes, same thing. I can't speak on the timing argument because I'm not too familiar with Fox's thoughts on that matter. Do you have the podcast where he mentions that by any chance? I'm pre…
  • @"Dillon A. Wright" said: @"Alex Divine" said: @dgnorton said: i have heard that it is easier to make a higher score..anyone else know anything about this? False. The lsat is a standardized test and …
  • Scholarship Employment/bar passage stats Location/placement in areas I want to live (west coast, Chicago, maybe DC) "Prestige" (mostly because if it's in an area I don't want to live, I need to know that the degree will get my a job where I do wan…
  • I sort of generally like the Thinking LSAT but I vehemently disagree with them on several points. But as most people said above, certain strategies work for some people and not for others. Also, partially what I disagree with them about is that they…
  • I started with the Powerscore LG bible and it taught some good fundamentals but was really lacking in teaching about logic generally. It ended up leaving me confused and not really getting it in a lot of games. I switched to 7sage and found it to be…
  • Congratulations!!! So awesome to hear.
  • If you haven't already seen it, you should also check out Law School Transparency, which has compiled a ton of data: lstreports.com (Go to the reports section to look through the schools) It sounds like Vanderbilt could be a really good fit for you…

  • OK these are my extremely messy game boards. There's one on the top right that I scratched out so ignore that. Basically I came up with 3 game boards each based off of 4 being on either Thursday or Friday. https://photos.app.goo.gl/JbZ7Eo8uSI9IXQs4…
  • @10000019 said: Does this help or do you need more details? Thanks for the reply. During the test I noted the '3-7-5'. I can't recall if I noted there were 4 ways to split them. I think I decided against splitting anything becau…
  • Yes, to echo what the others have said, BR is really where you make the most gains. If you just take PT after PT without reviewing, you essentially make the same mistakes over and over instead of learning from them. You need to really grapple with e…
