Also, in general, you should view the qualifiers as training wheels for you to think about language in the way LSAT tests it. Other than that, the only way that'll 100% consistently ensure you get questions right is to understand the argument.

Don't take this mental shortcut, especially now that the newer tests have made NA answer choices way trickier.

I'm clearly so behind but... WE HAVE POWER BLOCKS?!?!?!?!
-
@Petrichor Yup -- we are of similar minds. I have 3/4 options I'm equally passionate and excited by that are completely separate fields.
-
I have the opposite problem as STR8. I have so many passions that are just as strong as my desire to go to law school and become a lawyer and all of them are options I've thought about for years -- I didn't decide any of these on a whim. I'm glad I'…

I think if you're diagnostic was in the 138s, you really need to spend less time doing practice tests and more times on problem sets. You shouldn't touch another practice test until 1) you're getting 9/10 on the practice tests, 2) you can confidentl…

I have to disagree with @"Ron Swanson" here. My assumption is that you don't totally have problems working hard because you have a high GPA and you've been studying for close to a year now (obviously, correlation does not equal causation so this nex…

I'm trying to see it in New York this summer!!

I AM OBSESSED

I wonder if we can get a list like this not by subject matter but by overarching argument type/structure. For example: Cause and effect No opinion 2 opinions + synthesis 2 opinions + new hypothesis Etc...

@ChoboPie This is exactly the kind of advice I was looking for -- thanks for taking the time to write this! When you prepped for your retake, did you spend time reviewing fundamentals or did you just jump straight into taking PTs and then reviewing …

Nope, it won't matter. They'll take your highest because it's a mutually beneficial relationship -- they get to record your highest LSAT on their books and you get to go to their school.

a) attend a sub-par law school and attempt to transfer to a top 30 after 1L. >> DO NOT bank on transferring. You are banking on tremendous odds and you have no guarantees you'll have the grades at a subpar law school to even transfer in the …

Ditto to what @cverdugo. You can always back out but you will lose money on the deposit you'll pay to the school you choose to accept.

@kevinmdunshee Congrats! That's the exact jump I want to achieve !

Whoa, just saw this! Yes Nicole, let's coordinate!

For those of you interested in the Assumption/Flaw clinic, please respond to the discussion thread I posted!

LOVE The New Yorker

Early decision

Route #2 is highly insecure. It doesn't matter what promises your firm will make you, especially at a firm that can get the cream of the crop lawyers. Focus on getting a good LSAT score, going to a good school, and networking during your 1L summer.
-
You'll substantially lower your chances at Yale or Stanford if you take it and score under 170. Harvard will pretty much just take your top score but Yale and Stanford tend to already be black boxes when it comes to admissions and getting a sub-170 …

Always.

Isn't the flaw that "absence of evidence" does not mean proof that it didn't happen (stimulus) or will happen (answer choice A)?
-
They're very distinct. If you "overlook" something, you don't recognize a possibility. If you "reject" something, you recognize that it's a possibility but figure that possibility isn't relevant or applicable in some way.
-
@nathan001: Like many mentioned (including yourself), treating the LSAT score as a mirror representation of one's skills obfuscates the structural and economic inequities that enable or disable student success on the test. Moreover, it is true that …

I disagree with @Pacifico and would highly recommend applicants to write diversity statements, especially for a nontraditional applicant like yourself. A successful diversity statement is all about framing. It is not limited to racial/ethnic minorit…

Is Alameda the one in the community college? If so, the desks are decent size (not big like lecture hall but not too small).
-
Ah, my condolences. There is nothing in SJ. I think Oakland would be your best bet
-
Man, Walnut Creek is hella far. Where in South Bay are you?

CSU East Bay is really nice. Good proctors and nice desk space.
