I think that the predictive power of the LSAT resides in the level of dedication that it requires. A score in the 170's usually doesn't happen by accident, and even the smartest among us will fail to reach the 170's without prep. The bulk of student…

@jjoushlyn said: @JustDoIt @Ohnoeshalpme can you expand on that a little more ? What exactly do you think I’m missing ? I’m just trying to make sure I get it . Logic and complex grammar ? Do you mean formal logic ? The fact that it is taking…

If you took a whole hour to do 12 questions and got 5/12 correct, the problem is much, much deeper than question type. I would revisit earlier sections in the core curriculum that focus on logic and grammar. You probably should spend some time outsi…

Schools with a median of 155 don’t care about retakes generally.

I agree with what is stated above, the earlier sections overall seem easier to me and that is reflected in my scores as well.

I have heard that Canadian schools tend to weigh GPA more heavily than American schools. I can tell you some things about American schools but I am guessing that Canadian schools have some different rules/expectations. In any case, the best that yo…

There’s a lot that needs to be addressed here. First, don’t take the test because it’s scheduled, take because you’re ready. It sounds like your involving some of the macro-stress into your PTs and it’s distracting you from learning. Second, it’s ok…

Generally speaking, the purpose of your softs is to demonstrate that you are unique. That, within the applicant pool, you have something that no one else has. If your ethnic background has given you a unique experience, relationship, or perspective,…

Becoming fast with easy/medium normal games can give you the time that you sometimes need for a harder game. In this way, even if stumble on a game, you can use all of the cached time from the other questions to help you go -0 on a hard game. With t…

If you negate a necessary assumption the conclusion is impossible to draw from the premises. Therefore, a good method to check your answer is to negate it and see if the conclusion can be properly drawn. If not, you got the right answer!

@eRetaker said: I think you're going wayyyy too fast for the LR sections if you're at question 19 at 17 minutes. Realistically every question (hard or easy) is worth 1 point so take time to look over every answer choice in LR, even if you feel…

Not sure, but if they're willing to pay you to come visit, I wouldn't question it

@"surfy surf" I do about one PT every 2-3 weeks. Sorry for putting it in such a weird format lol. That's just what came to mind. I generally take a PT on saturday, i'll BR on sunday, review footage on monday and then print out 2 weeks worth of drill…

@keets993 I think that I have experienced a little bit from each point that you bring up - the "I have all summer to study" mentality relaxed me a little bit, the "clock" ticking makes me rush a little bit (which is why I think section drilling woul…

It sounds like you need to re-do the CC. A BR score below 150 shows that you still don't grasp the fundamentals that this test requires. In that scenario, it might take you longer than a few months to improve to a 156. That being said, there are str…

@"surfy surf" said: My PT score was the same for I think 4 PTs in a row. Then jumped a few points up, then dipped a few points down (although still 2 points above my plateau). Plateaus happen. Putting in hours doesn’t necessarily mean your sco…

@"samantha.ashley92" said: Have you gotten through the entire CC in 70 hours? I've been working at the CC for a few hundred, and I'm still not done with RC. I would suggest slowing down and redoing the problem sets. 70 hours is really not a lo…

@10000019 I finished the section in time. Side note: I just finished my BR, and found that the questions I missed weren't the super hard ones, but I missed some 1-3 diff questions that I skimmed over/missed a word because I worked too quickly on the…

Yeah it really is going to depend on your own expectations and career goals. I don't know much about the school other than the numbers but from what I see, I would never attend this school. But i'll stress that this is a personal decision. You shoul…

A non-wrinkly Polo, lightweight chinos, some type of leather shoe that isn't a boat shoe and you're fine. You want to make a good impression in case you run into faculty that will eventually be your teachers. More importantly though, you need to ha…

Maybe it's a dismal outlook, but it seems to be the most likely one. Also, the growing trust in computers will lead many to prefer arguments constructed "objectively" by AI as opposed to those made by human beings... just a thought.

@AudaciousRed said: It may cut out some jobs, but AI is not nearly at a level to replace lawyers. Sure, it may impact making basic contracts like run of the mill rental agreements, and will probably cut down on searching and combing through do…

The CC is not sufficient for success on this test. Maybe for a rare few, the CC lays such a strong foundation that every question just naturally falls into place. For the most of us though, the CC is something that we constantly need to return to. I…

You need to BR these passages before you check the answer choices. Use the BR process to reach 100% certainty, write out explanations for why the answers you chose are correct. Use this added time and certainty to outline, for yourself, what the iss…

When you read through the question stem and the stimulus, try to predict what the answer is going to be before moving on to the questions. If you get in the habit of doing this, you'll move quickly through the questions and you'll be less likely to …

I have a stack of 14 books and a hefty wooden coat hanger on top. To keep the coat hanger from falling off, I support it with another 6 books (probably a superfluous amount). The coat hanger is oriented such that the long, flat part of the coat hang…

Just like what will happen to a lot of industries, the legal market will shrink significantly. What does this mean for the future of the legal profession? I’m not sure. Perhaps A bigger question for lawmakers of our generation: what restrictions on…
