@Marie4lawschool Public interest jobs are equally (if not more) competitive than firm jobs. If you choose to go the full tuition but lower ranked route, it's vital that your MD/PhD/MSEd background is related to whichever interest org you want to wor…

CONGRATS!!!!! That's AMAZINGGGGG --- you're killing it
-
Past month and a half... nothing (minus Pt 1). About to take PT2 today -- wish me luck! (I anticipate it'll go terrible since I haven't looked at anything recently)
-
@DumbHollywoodActor I felt the same way about the trainer's LG material and I skipped the LG portion entirely. Just make sure that if you move on, you're getting at least 90% for each question/question type (I was averaging -0/-1 on games which is w…

Wow! If your strongest is RC, you're in good shape. I think for you the lsat trainer could be beneficial. Mike Kim creates a holistic portrait of the test and really gets you to develop the fundamental skills. For supplemental material (which shoul…

^^ this, this, this, a thousand times this. Drill timed sections or specific question types or passages but hold off on taking PTs until you've mastered the fundamentals of LSAT logic. Mastery isn't measured by finishing the curriculum and if you st…

WHOA! Font change -- I like.

Make flash cards for the tone/opinion answer choices where one side contains the word and the other side contains a definition and example of the word. For example, let's say the answer choice is "qualified admiration." The on one side you'd have "q…

&kendallM The GMAT has a logical reasoning section so a lot of people study the LSAT LR material because it's harder than the GMAT LR questions
-
Yes, they still have very accomplished faculty members, and of course, Chemerinsky is still their dean.
-
It's not actually similar but the Monty Hall Problem is super cool to think about nonetheless
-
Haha this reminds me of the principle behind the gameshow of picking between door 1, 2, and 3 (also known as the Monty Hall Problem)
-
@"Nilesh S" (I know I'm not Jonathan) I think them breaking into the twenties is really going to depend on how well the most recent graduating classes perform over time and how well they can maintain and attract faculty members. I know over the year…
-
Yes, I was informed of something similar. I know the school has had problem with faculty retention but the school is overall wonderful. They really did a fantastic job of recruiting incredibly bright students and faculty members. I really do hope th…
-
Hahaha what is this cursed disease (please LSAT gods, love me)! I also get giddy when I see causal arguments in newspaper articles and I just think, "Hehe, I know what you're trying to do ---but I don't buy it yet!"
-
@kendallM I don't think law schools really have a quota so I don't think they admit less students (haven't really looked into the data but would be interested). Rather, they maintain relatively the same number of students but try to lower their perc…

@nicole.hopkins I have pdfs of PT 1-28, if you'd like them. It'd be nice to have someone equally motivated and on the same track. Keep me posted!
-
@"Nilesh S" Damn it! You mean my dream where I got a 181 won't come true? BAH!
-
I've gotten a lot better at flaw questions. I used to be like you, where sometimes I could anticipate flaws and other times never. When I see a flaw question now, I can almost always identify the flaw in the stimulus but miss questions because I mis…
-
* PT1 Review * Timed LG/LR/RC sections * PT2 * PT2 Review * Compile list of questions that I'm getting wrong and going over those at the end of the week
-
BR is extremely important. When you review, try to see any patterns that exist between the level 3 difficulty questions you're missing. For example, when I first started studying, I universally missed a percentage v. number question -- didn't matter…
-
Can't underscore LSAT trainer enough for flaws. Also, when you miss flaw questions, do you identify the flaw correctly but mess up at the answer choices or do you trip up mostly at the point where you need to identify the flaw in the stimulus?

@waterspolo OMGGG WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE? I've been looking for someone in the Bay Area for a while but now I'm moving back home to SoCal. I'm also on studypal!
-
Wow really (about Michigan's descent)? I'd be shocked if that proved to be true. I wonder to what extent the decline of Detroit has affected U of M grads
-
I'm curious to know that myself @ddakjiking . I'm really surprised by Duke getting in the top 10, though next year they'll probably be 11 again. Besides Michigan and Duke, I'd say the rankings look pretty standard.
-
"i.e. that there are people who cannot score more an a particular score..." God, EVERY TIME I read a post that mentions this phenomenon I want to facepalm so hard. The phrase "I can't go higher than 1XX" is this single greatest disservice an indiv…
-
If this is true, Duke must be so freaking happy
-
OMG I second this book recommendation. It is such an incredibly story and I think will resonate with a lot of LSAT studiers (especially those that believe there is a "natural" cap of intelligence barring them from a 160/170/180)
-
Ooo to Nilesh's point.. I didn't have the Ultimate package so I definitely wanted additional practice. The Cambridge materials are also ordered by difficulty, which was the most important selling point for me.
-
I would strongly follow Allison's advice and work your way through the curriculum slowly and then take a PT after you've gone through the material. Moving slowly, like focusing on one question type a day, but drilling those concepts using Cambridge …
