Thanks everyone! I do appreciate the replies and suggestions. @nicole.hopkins Quality T.V. sounds great right about now! In all honestly, part of the reason I want to subscribe to a magazine, like The New Yorker or The Economist is because I notice…

@Johnny_M that's exactly what I'm looking for. Something that I can both enjoy reading and use to enhance my understanding of some of the dense topics that are discussed on the LSAT. @DumbHollywoodActor I am almost positive that a professor of min…

I'm also in for all!

@DumbHollywoodActor Thanks a ton. That's what I figured...I majored in Psychology and my concentration was in neurology/memory. What you said is absolutely correct, but I guess I needed to hear it from those who are studying for the LSAT. Thanks fo…

What if those in the study get about the same amount of sleep, and the difference between the top 5% v. the bottom 5% is minuscule? Think about it this way. 10 people surveyed, all of them get 7 hours of sleep, +-1 (and anything in between, i.e. 7.…

I was informed by a few TLS members that the letters will remain on the site as long as you're account is active. Getting in touch with your recommenders is a great idea. I know that some recommenders write the date/term to which you will be applyi…

Ask your parents how much they plan on supporting you after you graduate with $150k worth of debt and no way to pay it off, because you followed their wishes and rushed the process. I know this isn't the case with everyone, but it can be for many.

I was having the same issue (still am) on LR and RC. I soon found out that my problem was that I was overthinking the wrong answer choices. What helped me was getting familiar with all of the ACs. Some are abstract, know what they mean. Use J.Y's me…

If you run an amazon search on "lsat 180 watch" or "180 watch" the first few results should give you what you're looking for. Not sure if any are the exact model, but they have a few different ones.

@nye8870 Thanks so much! Watching the videos now. RC and LG can be frustrating, but I'm glad I'm starting to get the hang out it. @DumbHollywoodActor I get what you mean. It makes perfect sense. I posted in another discussion that mastering LG wil…

@nordeend RLSAT --> (-)DW. Is it sad that my brain automatically goes into "conditional logic mode" as soon as I see the terms "If" and "then"? OP is there any reason why you're not postponing. I am in the same boat as you, but will likely post…

@nicole.hopkins I think I read it in an article, titled "Things not to do to prepare for a standardized exam" or something along those lines. I promise, I thought it was a challenge! I know what you mean regarding burnout. Just give me 3 more weeks …

@pritisharma Indeed an interesting read. Thanks for posting it. I vote the LSAT be excluded from law school admissions, and replaced with a test of lawyering ability...who is in? ...kidding, I can only hope.

Thanks everyone! I think I had a "D'oh!" moment, considering the numbers...

Another June taker here - just need to withdraw from December...sorry bank account.
-
@Petrichor Seems like the wise thing to do. I suppose the extra 6 months will help. I'll have to start in 2017...but hey, maybe this'll allow me to celebrate Christmas with the family! Kidding...I'll probably be studying.
-
Thanks for all the support and advice everyone! I will be calling to withdraw on Tuesday! Took another PT and ended up scoring about 9 points or so below my average...I'm definitely taking that as a sign...13 hours of studying per day, 7 days a week…

@GordonBombay I can attest to that. I interned at public service firm for around half a year. None of the attorneys that I worked with went to T25, or even T40 schools. Heck, most of them went to 2nd tier schools. I also spoke with a PD who is pret…

My rule of thumb: If I see the words "Flaw" and "Parallel" in the same sentence, I avoid it like the plague...then come back to it and embrace it.

Curious about this too. Spoke with a family member who is a practicing attorney. He pretty much said what Kingsman said. Private practice/Corporate = Top tier only. Public sector = Doesn't matter too much, so long as it's ranked. Making partner = Fo…
-
@Petrichor Jeez that's an amazing jump. If I may ask, when did you take your first diagnostic? I spoke with a family member who graduated from law school. He said the same thing, "Think of it this way, you'll either waste money by withdrawing now, o…
-
Thanks Petrichor. If you don't mind my asking, for how long did you study after postponing the second time, and how much of a score increase did you see? My family has been pretty supportive about the decision to postpone. Believe it or not, I am g…

Hi everyone, Thanks for all of your advice. There's a 99% chance that I'll end up cancelling. Thanks a lot, guys! (kidding). Anyhow, I decided to talk to my family about it. I know that at the end of the day, it's my decision to make. However, I d…

I believe those are the two possible "worlds" that you can be in. If L is before J, then G is before L and L is before J, and vice versa. If J is before L and L is before G, then J --- L --- G. In a nutshell, if neither of the conditions in the bi-c…

Hope you're doing well. Regarding a full reimbursement, I doubt they will issue one. The deadline to change your test date was on the 6th of this month. You can withdraw up until the 20th (November, of course). Contact them directly, they may have s…
