  • @nyc2dc2ca said: K is before M or after L, but not both. M-K-L, or L-K-M? Does anyone know what I am referring to? If so, could you link to the lesson or a game that highlights the above? I don't specifically recall, but I don't kn…
  • @"Chipster Study" said: I have not sat for the patent bar yet. Just getting going on it. Everything I am reading says to take a prep course and get a study buddy. I am a couple of years away from 1L so I thought I would get it out of the way n…

  • Don't compare your studying to anyone else's. You know what works for you, so stick to it. Even if that means it'll take you a longer amount of time than someone who might study for longer than you every day, don't rush yourself. Stay consistent a…
  • @sweetsecret said: I'm interested!!! Will you guys be posting a PT schedule up to the test date? Once we get things started and get a gauge for the group we can work on a dedicated schedule. I'd like to lay everything out so people can plan …
  • @TheCubicleEscapee nope you don't have to do the test before hand. Sometimes it's helpful though so you know which questions you had a tough time on and that way we know to discuss those questions in detail. Otherwise you can just show up and follow…
  • @TheCubicleEscapee said: @"nessa.k13.0" Not doing June... but I want to be on the list for Sept... I have been holding off on burning any and all tests until I was able to do this with you guys Just throwing that out there. So put me on the …
  • Thanks for all the interest everyone! We're targeting a start date of Sunday, May 21. Stay tuned for more details as they're figured out!
  • @tringo335 URM = Under represented minority. Which groups are considered URMs? American Indians/Alaskan Natives, African Americans/Blacks, Mexican Americans, and Puerto Ricans are typically considered URM’s. (from TLS) URM typically carries a +5…
  • Taking a few days off and relaxing might do you some good as well. Idk if your headaches are in any way related to burnout but a lot of people will experience a dip in scores when they get to that point in their studies. And more often than not, t…
  • Woooo. Registration is officially open! http://i.imgur.com/Aj9ilKK.png
  • @"Rigid Designator" said: Like others have commented, the degree you took matters to some extent if the college is looking at your grades holistically. I would also throw in 'where you went to school' and 'do you have a graduate degree?' in th…
  • @tringo335 said: Thanks @Mellow_Z for the tips. Sorry should have left my gpa. I'm a 3.5 with 8 years out of undergrad. Any thoughts on what's favorable to splitters with those stats? A 3.5 won't really hold you back anywhere. HYS are compl…
  • http://mylsn.info/r/pre-law/admissions/search/ I also recommend all of you guys in the splitter category to check out this website. It lets you search wide ranges of data from lawschoolnumbers and should let you see where your numbers will land yo…
  • I think 171 might even be low for NU. At least for a probable outcome. It COULD get you in, but I would want a 173 I think to be comfortable with my chances. I think there definitely would be a difference between a 2.9 and a 2.4 though. Yes I agr…
  • @tn7sager said: @Mellow_Z I would take any splitter advice you have. I am sub 3.0 and working to see what lsat score could put me where. I mean I want a 180 of course, but I would like to know the possibilities of a 165 compared to a 170 etc. …
  • @tringo335 said: Great question @sopie74 .... can I add another layer? Does anyone know which T14 schools that tend to be 'splitter friendly'? Historially NU is your best option. UVA shows some splitter love. Barring you revealing you…
  • @Sprinkles said: @Mellow_Z said: @carolinehwallace said: Has anyone confirmed whether the Digital LSAT will have new questions, or recycled ones from old tests? There hasn't been any word on this yet…
  • Yeah the above 2 posts are correct. You will see people throw out "super splitter" and "reverse splitter" in addition to the regular splitter. The differences are pretty arbitrary between super and regular splitters - typically super splitters are…
  • Just a thought - since we would have to use a recent PT, if you posted it ahead of time, people could still take the test before sunday and BR it as normal. That way it isn't entirely burned
  • I would just like to say, I greatly appreciate you linking the question in your posts. (SUBTLE RECOMMENDATION TO EVERYONE ELSE, COUGH) edit : I like Sami's explanation better than mine so I'm removing it to not confuse others
  • @carolinehwallace said: Has anyone confirmed whether the Digital LSAT will have new questions, or recycled ones from old tests? There hasn't been any word on this yet. There likely won't be either, until we show up and take the test
  • I agree with @JustDoIt entirely. One of my (maybe my ONLY) strength on the LSAT thus far is my flexibility with logic games. It doesn't bother me at all if the game is unable to be diagrammed properly. I think by learning the games in this system…
  • @vaseghibardia said: I'm confused. Isn't the date already set for the 16th? Is it possible this will be changed? I think this is referring to the date that registration opens.
  • It does kind of suck. I'm hoping maybe they will give you a score right when you finish your test? I was also hoping of using this as a "benchmark" to gauge whether I'd be ready for September or not. Granted, I will still have time to cancel if n…
  • So I think with the most recent PT's, there have been a lot more games that aren't AS solvable as older PT's. What I mean by this, is that in PTs 1-35, you can fill out a large amount of most game boards without many spaces being open to multiple c…
  • Our community chatterbox @"Alex Divine" has been studying full time after taking a leave from his job. Maybe he can help recommend some routines for you. I would say the last 2 months of your study should be spent PTing, BRing and drilling specifi…
  • @studying_hard said: Can someone confirm the timezone for these sessions? Is the Google calendar in my time zone? I have the next one as 5/18 7pm PST? Mine says 7-8 as well and I am EST. I haven't been apart of these calls so I can't speak …
  • I think you should follow the curriculum exactly as it is given to you. JY teaches things a lot differently than a lot of other courses/books, so I think it would be safe to cover all of it again if possible. Once you get through the CC start PTin…
