Hi!! I remember we both want to do employment law @tringo335! I'm so sorry you're feeling discouraged. I think the best antidote for feeling down and burnt out from LSAT is taking a week off (make sure to get enough sleep, get a manipedi, read a chi…

I use a ton of these words! Good to know!! Time for some self-improvement.

Hi! How long is our study session going to last? Do we have a set end time?

@"Paul Caint" hahaha...no not an ad. :'( @"Alex Divine" I think so...If what you're talking about is the usual phone software update, my phone has had it. @akistotle I think it was because the screen timed out because my battery was charged. I st…

Hi all--just wondering what questions would be helpful to ask a potential mentor? Things like which school to go to, what field of law to go into/field of law that is best suited for you, and what region to practice in? I sometimes wonder if those a…

Thank you for this!! Excellent to know.

I asked this question at a law school event and the Stanford Dean said there is no need to specify what field of law you want to go into but if that's the reason you want to go to law school--by all means, write about it. Basically she said, it's co…

This is going to be very helpful! Thank you Daniel!!

I keep citing this but I watched all the videos for the course on Coursera called Learn to Learn and here are some points from that course that I hope help you: -what you're feeling is called Imposter Syndrome. Everyone [EVERYONE!!!!] has it. You'r…

There are often specific words that give away what the author thinks about the subject in the passage (fortunately, unfortunately, etc). When you see those words, it should trigger an alarm in your head: this shows the author's POV! and maybe make a…

Something I've learned is important to combat anxiety and learn effectively is to focus on the process and not the result. So instead of focusing on a full section or a full PT, focus on the process of answering the questions themselves. Having eat…

Just wanted to bump this because I finished this course today. This was extremely helpful in terms of the mindset to have in LSAT and retain what I've learned effectively. PLUS, everything in it applies to learning for the future in law school and b…

Thank you! This is going to be very useful.

I'll be joining for the same reason as @thisissparta ----especially since I felt so discouraged after I took the June exam. As I have a history of burnout, it's always good to get a refresher on how to have a positive mindset. This is such a great…

Hi @"Marco Antonio" I understand how you feel. I started off with a 138, studied full time all summer, and I was scoring in the 154 range by the time the June test came around. I was burnt out and I felt horrible. I wouldn't recommend studying full…

I learned from Manhattan Prep LR as my base (not as my supplementary material); they give you step by step plans for how to approach each question. I am using Powerscore LR Bible as my supplementary material and it's great. Especially since I have …

@tringo335 @"Alex Divine" and @Sami I'll watch the text anxiety vid, have a bigger breakfast, and I'm going to literally say what @Sami posted to myself out loud. THANK YOU!!

@akistotle This is a great point. Thank you! TRUE, everything before the "However" is background for the argument. I'm going to be more cognizant of this going forward! (This reminds me of GOT when Jon Snow is talking about how everything before th…

Premise: Your newspaper seems to heavily biased against renewable energy. Premise: The study presented in the article distorts evidence and shows flawed reasoning. The article states that countries with lower rates of renewable energy had lower av…

@dml277 It didn't register in my mind that C is a conditional statement. This is a really good point. Thanks!

Necessary Assumption Question Premise: The playwright’s newest play received a negative review from the city’s most influential newspaper. Premise: People who have a negative impression of the play are unlikely to pay the standard ticket price. C…

@cbyrns21 yes it absolutely helps!! THANK YOU!

@tringo335 yep! I'm in love with Stanford now. haha

@cbyrns21 Do you mind sharing what the Stanford Dean said about applicants with a low GPA? Are there any particular things she suggested doing? This is a very general question. I'm trying to figure out how to make my low undergraduate GPA less relev…

@tringo335 I don't know any schools known for labor and employment law...BUT I did talk to a Stanford rep at a law school fair this past weekend and she was telling me about some great labor & employment professors that just joined their school.…

I talked to a law school admissions consultant about this and they were pretty against taking time off to study. My personal experience: I took about 4 months off to study and I got too stressed out because of the pressure I put on myself. I would a…

1.When would you like to begin our study group meetings? I am still working on drilling question types right now and would like to review PT's as late as possible. 2.What day(s) of the week/time(s) work best for you? (Please include your time zon…

Conclusion: Scientists therefore hypothesize that the cats light-footedness (which clearly makes them slower) evolved as a means of going unnoticed by dogs. Reasoning used: Causal; because dogs chase cats (cause), cats have evolved to be light foot…
