@chinobonito - without giving too much away, does it have a good ending? Cuz if it doesn't, I don't want someone to convince me that I shouldn't go to law school. I hear it all day every day.
-
@Camdenharr - I was in the same boat. It felt like no matter what I did I could not improve on the LR section. I used to consistently get 10 questions wrong. Then, two weeks before the test I discovered lsathacks.com and I found the LR explanations …
-
@Nilesh S - Thank you so much. I'm going to check out the thread!!
-
I seriously feel like a part of me is missing. Like Shane said I feel like I just went through a break up. I've always compared the LSATS to being in an abusive relationship where you hate it but you just can't let it go. So bizarre. The people who…

Thanks @emli1000, @Nilesh S and @Marie4lawschool. Hope you all get accepted to wherever you've planned. And I hope to see you at Irvine @Marie4lawschool
-
I feel like on the most recent tests, you absolutely have to know conditional logic, negation, all that good stuff. The only way I've been able to conquer the harder questions on the most recent prep tests (specifically LR section) has been through …

@jdawg113 - the key word "not uncommon" right lol...I knew I did terrible on the December test and I was right. Haha
-
Definitely had a much better experience than on the December test. Thank God. The test center was great, the proctors were awesome. I just hope I did okay. One of the games was time consuming and another one was so open ended I struggled with timin…

Hey guys. I don't know if we're allowed to promote other sites here, but for all of you struggling with LR and want good and precise explanations, I highly recommend lsathacks.com It's been super helpful for me.
-
I don't know if anyone had this problem or I guess the solution, but whenever I get to NA answer choices, every answer choice I read, I ask myself "is this statement necessary". And it gets much easier because the word necessary says it all. But aga…

I second on the LSAT Trainer. It's a great supplement. The most important thing you'll take away from it is how to understand the fundamentals of Logical Reasoning. From my experience, here are the best programs for each section: LR - Bibles, LSAT …
-
Sounds like my story. We actually have the exact same pattern - I do really well on the games and do horribly bad on the reading comp and do average on LR. Essentially, this means that your analytical reasoning skills are strong but your reading ski…

Thanks Nilesh S!
-
Wow. UC Irvine is amazing! I applied there so if I get in, I'm gonna thank you in person for the encouragement.
-
Here's how I improved on reading comp: I used to get 12-13 questions wrong per section. By far, Reading comp was my worst section and I bombed the LSAT twice because of Reading Comp. I tried everything....and when I say everything, I mean I even sub…
-
@joegotbored-1 Yup. And, this is yet another reason why the whole US News ranking system has driven law school admissions to do these kinds of shady things. I've received like 5 e-mails already from top law school where my LSAT score is at least 5-6…
-
I just purchased mine yesterday for LR section, and it is against their policy to share. It is licensed specifically to you and they can sue you for sharing. I know several test prep sites who have done that. I don't think it's worth the risk.
-
@Peter - Thanks. And, wow, I thought the curve would at least be -13 as this was a ONE DIFFICULT TEST!
-
@Peter - It's definitely a mistake then. Do you know what the curve is?
-
That means the other Reading Comp was the real one then? Did LSAC fool us somehow? I could swear the perfume one was the real one.
-
Aside from all the BS that happened to me and the unfortunate 40 some students in my group, we had church bells go off like 5 times with 5 minute intervals.
-
Thanks jdawg113. I filed a complaint already. So, I hope to hear from them soon.
-
@royaimani - I swear the whole time that idea was in my head. @jdwag113 - so are you saying that if my complaint is successful enough, I can have them cancel this test and take another one without a strike? It's just, this was my second time taking …
-
Thanks guys. I know. I feel like if I can negotiate with them to not count the test against me and not count it as a strike, that would be a reasonable solution, but I'm gonna complain just so that other people don't have to go through that in the f…
-
It better be a -15 points for 170 because this was hard as f***
-
Thanks for responding guys. YES, THEY INTERRUPTED DURING THE ACTUAL 35 MINUTE TIME. WE WERE ABOUT 10 MINUTES IN ON THE FIRST SECTION WHEN THEY CAME AND STARTED ASKING US IF THEY COULD WRITE DOWN THE SERIAL NUMBERS. Should I report this?
-
@kelsey.r you are not allowed to mention anything in connection to actual test material, you might want to edit your post. But, I'm with you guys on horrible proctors. Our proctors came in the middle of us taking a test and asked us if they could wr…
-
So, I had a horrible experience. Do you guys know if the proctors are allowed to come in the MIDDLE OF YOU TAKING THE TEST and ask if they can write the Serial Number? I mean, come on....I had a horrible testing center, even worse of a proctor...jus…
-
Yep, I've been studying really hard these past two weeks and my score has gone from 160 to 152 and 151.

I know what I won't be doing...I won't be drinking gallons of water from freaking out like I did during the September LSAT...
