Hint: Does 'books' = 'novels'? Perfect argument: P: A -> B P: B -> C C: A -> C

First ten in ten is a good rule of thumb, but personally I would not recommend going for 25 in 25. It's okay to pace yourself to work sequentially and finish the final question as time runs up. The most important thing to be comfortable with is skip…

I'm sure most people would never request an accommodation without a true need if for no other reason than that they respect those who do have a true need.

@LSATcantwin said: I cut out hard questions in LR with the questions and stem on the front and the AC on the back, with small explanations of why each was right/wrong. I had to use like size 8 font sometimes, but I have a collection of hard LR…

Question stems and indicator words are the main things I flash-carded. I also kept a bunch of note cards handy to detail some of the trickier stuff I found on the LSAT.

@mcglz_64 said: Ok not one either but really only some formal logic learned in UG courses help. Lots of teaching methods incorporate it in their methods of teaching so you will pick it up anyway. Lots of people taking this test never took a lo…

Is it Duke?! Ya know, cuz of Priority Track?

@westcoastbestcoast said: Is it also possible that more people who scored 170 plus in previous years, are now deciding to apply to law school? Alternate cause.

@"Paul Caint" said: @acsimon I was thinking that too - perhaps "soft" factors will count more. But at the same time, I think law schools will just gobble up as many of these high LSATers as they can, without a real eye towards softs. I …

Total # of test takers is way up.

I would imagine it's also a good idea to know your application in and out. Personally, I would want to know exactly what's on my resume and in my statements. I'd also make sure to have an anecdote or two ready to go if the interviewer decides to ask…

@"Paul Caint" said: Also like, what do I wear ? Wear a suit and tie. I would treat this like any other professional interview.

Law applications are just now on the upswing. We're at the bottom of the wave, if I'm not mistaken. From what I've heard, schools are hungry for top applicants.

@"Paul Caint" said: @goingfor99th 2 weeks ago Awesome, that's fast!

An interview is a great sign, I've read. Curious, how long ago did you submit?
-
Speed is a function of accuracy! To become faster, you need to improve your accuracy. To improve your accuracy, you need to study the fundamentals of the test. Also, it could be the case that you have the fundamentals down and simply haven't done e…

I don't print fresh copies when BRing LR or RC, either. I like to see my work so that I can know exactly what I was thinking when I chose the answer I did. This practice helps me to work on my test-taking psychology.

@kayyyy95 said: @acsimon Thanks, that's what I was thinking too. I officially just canceled so can't go back now! Good luck to you too. I think you made the right call. Good luck on your studies.
-
If your experience as a first-generation student has somehow influenced your decision to go to law school, write about that! This is a great topic for a diversity statement, and will give your application a huge leg up.
-
I wouldn't use this word, personally. You want to use the 'right word' as often as you possibly can in your statements, and I see this word being the 'right word' hardly ever. "Ordeal" was suggested as a replacement. That is pretty good, I think.
-
I tried to do something similar to what you're doing right now. I tried to rush my applications, essentially. When February rolled around and I still wasn't confident enough to take my LSAT, I changed my mind really quickly. There are so many benefi…

You're not a failure if you take a year or two off. HYS are huge on taking students that have been graduated for at least 2-3 years, and there's a legitimate reason for that. 25-year-olds, on the whole, tend to be better students than even people wh…

I actually compiled a journal of my completed LG boards that I would regularly review prior to my test. I still browse them occasionally even now. It's helpful to be able to review your work regardless of which stage you're at in your preparation.

I find that reading the question stem first actually distracts me from the content of the stimulus, which is to say the argument or the parts of the argument in the stimulus. When you approach stimuli in a very fundamental way, you are really only q…
