@LSATcantwin said: The LSAT is an unkind mistress to those who don't take her seriously. Progress comes painstakingly, even to those who study 20 hours a week. So let's take a look at your situation. 1.) Are you ready for the September te…

@jkatz1488 , @LSATcantwin , this is great advice. Thank you! Would you two then say that it's okay to burn a few PTs between now and early November? I was under the impression that burning of too many PTs should be avoided as much as possible. My i…

Much needed. Thank you. I've been shooting for the December take, but will most certainly postpone if I find myself treading on a shaky base. Would you say that the first few PTs post CC would be the best indicator on whether one should re-evaluate…

@tringo335 said: The Economist! A lot of those articles feel like RC passages. JY also suggested The NewYorker in a video; I feel like that publication is a bit of an easier read. I feel that the New Yorker can get pretty dense. It's entirel…

@"Cant Get Right" said: Do a timed test--PT 36--and use that to determine where to go next. You'll likely need to quit PTing for a few weeks to address many issues it will reveal, but I think it's good to take a test post CC. I elaborate a lot…

Someone mind shedding some light on the "unicorn" thing? I haven't been keeping a close tab on legal academia related jobs, but have a personal interest in academia and was personally thinking of that as an option to pursue, in case I didn't find my…

@"LSAT Is Coming" said: But definitely a lesson for anyone reading this -- even if you can go through PTs quickly, DON'T. The gains per test go down the more you take in a certain time period. And exhausting them screws yourself over for poten…

I know Canadians who went to T14s and didn't find much of a barrier finding a job in the states (especially in the larger firms).

Anyone know why NYU ranks 9 points below its USN ranking? Does NYU do worse relative to other T14's in terms of employment outcomes?

@dennisgerrard said: @kombucha Not sure about the difficulty since the motivation seems to increase the LSAT takers. +1. I suspect there might be short-term gains in terms of profits, but making it more difficult could have negative effects…
