@hj060815 said: Even though I'm scoring low right now - around 158-160..should I be taking a lot of timed practice tests? Yes. @hj060815 said: I don't know how I need to be studying and what "quality" study is. PT and full BR = quality study. …

@profile427 said: I don't think that LSAC even has room on the app portion for a college before a bachelor's. They do, and in fact, you might receive a healthy boost to your GPA by including (and I believe you're required to submit all transcript…

@alexandergreene93 said: It sounds like you should not take the exam in October. I agree with @alexandergreene93 . 2-3 PT's this close to the test is just not where you want to be. Unless your goal score is 160-165 (and even that could be a chall…

@guitarnara said: Today, i took PT 54 and scored 167. I am not complaining... but I am confused. Things just start to click and your confidence (and emotional habits) builds! I'd recommend taking a couple days' break from new PT's to let the good …

@ThomasB092 said: I do feel however that I have wasted some of my time by practicing with the other prep material that hasn't been so useful. I'm sorry I know that's an awful feeling. I feel you. BUT. The point is that now you can be confident …

@fuzzy228 said: It's not that I have gotten any worse, it's just that I thought by answering more questions that would improve my score. It has either dropped or staying the same. Is this the correct approach? One Q: How many PT's have you done?

@shiv.tomer1 said: I've heard of some schools in the States who have completely eliminated the need to write LSAT as part of the application. Only schools no one should attend.

@nye8870 said: I think there is some pretty good scientific evidence supporting the theory that fasting can make you live longer (and I'm on borrowed time as it is). I've been doing IF for like ... wow ... 2 years now! I do the kind where I only …

@ENTJ said: It would be amusing if your date brings you a date on your date. A man after my own heart. Bonus points if he compares me to "a young Margaret Thatcher."

@alexandergreene93 said: I assume that when you wrote bible study you're referring to the Powerscore Bibles. HAHA ... No that would be heresy.

1. 6am wake up, supplements/coffee/coconut oil, Bible study (Ligonier/Truth for Life apps) 2. Ok I am going to try to workout next, which I used to do before until April Otherwise do some LSAt-y things. This week I am going to try to work out and …

@isaiahcv123 said: How should I prepare to take the LSAT a year from now? I've been studying since last July and will take for the first time in October. I went through the Trainer (using 2 different 16-week study schedules) twice. Then I worked …

@ENTJ said: I hear the paper used for JD diplomas are the best for paper airplanes. Wow, $150,000—$200,000 in debt for a degree that's "good to have" AND a paper airplane? Oh boy, I will have so much fun flying that thing around my palatial corner…

@ENTJ at least this one!

@africannarp said: Did any one also find Prep Test 45 easier than any other PTs? I did quite well on this PT 2 months ago; I don't think it was "easier"—but it might have been a better fit for your skills than, say, PT72 or something like that mig…

@Pacifico said: Regardless, I would still go through the curriculum as it is designed so you can ensure that all your bases are covered. Yes; in doing this, you have nothing to lose and potentially much to gain. Even a modest (3-5 points) boost t…

@sidhood said: In theory having an extra year to study would mean I would definitely get into a better law school than if I simply took the Oct or Dec test, but if my only reason is because of a single exam then I'm not so sure I'd be justified. S…

@mheannarino said: 1 more point in december is much better than 1 less point in October. There you go!!

@"GSU Hopeful" said: Make up your mind and do it. this tho.

@Pacifico said: I would just go ahead and use an old LG section as your 5th section so you can brush up on them while PTing... There you go. I might just start doing this as well. And then I too can say "@pacifico was right..." Oh wait, I say that…

@ddakjiking said: Love hearing success stories! Working in CRE, I see this kind of path all the time. These guys do very well for themselves. And CRE law doesn't require a degree from a fancy school, PS (especially if you're in the family firm and…

@alexandergreene93 said: of your school uses Credential Solutions to request transcripts online. Unfortunately mine did not; OP, does your school use one of the online transcript services LSAC accepts?

@ddakjiking said: then I wouldn't actually practice law but we'll see. I know someone who took this identical career path. He comes from a CRE/development family and practiced RE law for a few years. Then just went into development full time. CRE …

Gone are the days when one should get a JD "because it's a good degree to have." Back when a lot of my mentors were in law school, tuition was a fraction of what it is now. Now, a JD is a good degree to have if and only if you have a calling to prac…

For one, October is not your last chance for this cycle. So rest assured on that point. Furthermore, it is definitely possible to improve on LG in the next two months. If you're serious about October, it's time to walk away from the drills and PT/B…

I contacted the registrar at my alma mater and let them know I was applying to law school. They are very familiar with the process and will let you know what the easiest/fastest way to get the LSAC for etc. to them. Highly recommend giving them a ca…
