I tend to go heavy... So, my go-to heavy pump up songs are Slipknot's Duality for a "I'm going to kill this thing and then dump salt on the ground in which it was born" and Marilyn Manson's Long Hard Road Out of Hell for a more relaxed, but de…

I'm not going to say anything rude or disrespectful about an elected official due to my job (military music)...but, I've had that same feeling of doom and gloom. Even though I'm the walking embodiment of well, "the man", I am nervous for my friends…

Ordered with delivery Feb 1 or 2 by 8PM.

@shd.hart I'd give it a shot for at least a day or two before the real thing, mostly in case it makes you need to use the restroom in the middle of the test. E.g. with my caffeine drink, it is 160mg of caffeine, B-Vitamin Complex, and Vitamin D...a…

@"johanna.ea.greenberg" said: For those who work full time, would anyone recommend taking a couple hours off of work the day before the test to relax etc.? I'm taking a half day on Friday the 3rd. I'm taking the test about 40mins from home …

@vduran1988 . That sounds about right to me. I know it will vary depending on the test site, but I'm guessing most of the proctors won't be talking (I hope not), and then the bulk of the noise will be ambient from the others in the room mixed with…

They also count repeats, if they show up on your transcript. E.g. if you fail a class, and then retake it and get an A, they count the F and the A. If they only used your GPA from your last school attended/classes that count towards your degree,…

@vduran1988 said: What does the LSAC do that impacts the GPA so greatly? I am kind of confused as to why my GPA wouldn't stay the 3.2 that it already is. LSAC counts every college course you have completed before completing your first…

The others have pretty much nailed it, in my opinion. I think of safety as schools where your GPA and LSAT at or above the 75th, target where the numbers are median, and reach where they are between the 25th and median. Depending on your speci…

Your schedule sounds incredibly packed. Do you have the ability to either workout or study LSAT during your lunch break? Be careful with burnout. I went a few months jamming in as much as possible and hit that wall. Could you reduce the am…

I feel your pain even though we are on a bit different of a timeline. I finished out the year by running head first into burnout. I took 9ish days off from doing much in the way of LSAT studying then took a PT today (scored about what I was before…

I wouldn't take the semester off. Delay the LSAT a cycle if you need to though. I take classes via distance education, and thought that back loading my term would be a smart move (e.g. classes start Jan 30th for me instead of Jan 6th)...and haven'…

I think of safety schools as those being where you have a solid/likely chance of admission based off of your GPA and LSAT, ideally your GPA and LSAT are at or above the median as well as being located in area that you would want to practice/live.

I did the same thing as @"Alex Divine" . I'm too compulsive to NOT check them. I starred any that I have not completed as well as the sets that I think I will want to do again. As far as doing all of the PS in Ultimate Plus, I did at least a fe…

On the passages with more questions, are you missing the same question type or does that vary?

I buy them from Amazon.com. There is a free one available via the LSAC site.

You might check out MyLSN or Law School Numbers to see what people in the past have been admitted with. Granted, those are self reported samples, but you might see a little bit different information than on the LSAC page. http://mylsn.info/r/pre…

I'm not sure if the Canadian side is different, but I thought that LSAC only calculated your GPA based off of the classes you completed PRIOR to completing your first BA/BS degree. If it is different for Canada, or if you haven't completed your degr…

@montaha.rizeq said: btw @cam did you opt for the black background or white? I kind of wish I got the black one haha. I opted for the black, I figured the white would get messed up from being carried in my pocket. I've yet to put it on…

I study throughout the day. I have a hard time maintaining focus for over 2hrs at a stretch (yeah...I'm working on that). When I'm on my game, I get in about 90mins before work, 60-90mins during lunch (I get a 2hr lunch break), and then 3-4hrs bro…

@montaha.rizeq said: Agreed! I think the MM watch is the best LSAT watch out there. Check out my review I made a while back: (btw it still works very well) Your review was part of why I wanted to get one. I read everything I could find on it befo…

I like this idea. LSAT related Start using all of the time allotted per section efficiently. So far in my PT's, once I finish a section, I just sit there until time runs out. I rarely run out of time on any section besides LG (last few tests I …

I tend to run the app with background on 2-4, and then distractions 0-3. I do at least half of my practice tests in the lounge at work (during off hours), so there is always other ambient background noise. When I test at home, I increase the level…

Thanks for making this post! I was curious as well. Since my weakest section is LG, I'm doing all of my experimental sections as repeat LG's. For RC, I've been reading more dense material outside of my prep, and then during sections I focus on e…

I'd use the smaller chunks of time for drilling problem sets. When I'm on the road (touring musician), if it was a short break after sound check, I would either read The New Yorker, Economist, or Scientific American, but if it was a longer break (a…

@Walliums said: You've made me wonder, where's a good place to look for used versions of the watch? There are a couple of watches up on TLS in the for sale forum. Otherwise, I'm not sure. I'm thinking I'll use Ebay or TLS when I am done with min…

@jknauf said: Most people just set their watches to exactly 12. This was they know exactly where they are in regards to the 35 minutes. They set it back to 12 again after each section. That is what makes the most sense to me, but I al…

@Thoughtful said: My errors are typically because of poor reading (especially on LR) and time constraints (LR and sometimes RC). For poor reading, if you are misunderstanding the question, not reading the entire question, or something along those…

It looks good to me, but what else do you have going on? The only thing I would consider changing is the PT plus drill days. Could you do the PT in the morning, go futz around for a few hours, and then start to BR the PT that afternoon/evening? …

@"Alex Divine" said: Dude, you balance so much. Teach me your ways, haha. My secret is not being afraid to have a "screw it" day or two. If I push through when I'm spent mentally (thought heavy day at work, homework, etc) or emotiona…
