@"Alex Divine" yeah ditching my phone during practice and review was a big one for me. I also de-activated my Facebook account which really helped. Not only for stamina, but I've seen huge improvements with my attention span. Also, I"ll add that o…
-
If you mean stamina for taking full timed practice tests, I find your stamina builds over time from doing them repeatedly. At the beginning I had little stamina for a whole test, and now it is a lot easier. As for other things, I do Muay Thai marti…

I'm Canadian too and have found it depends on the school. At University of Calgary, for example, you fill out their online application and they give you slots to input past work experience, volunteer etc. So it's not a traditional resume, but asks y…

Definitely RC. LR second. LG, the bane of my existence I've always been way more comfortable with ambiguity and subtle interpretation than with black and white answers. Maybe that plays into this
-
Wish I had advice but all I can say is I feel you. LG has been consistently my worst section, no matter how much foolproofing I do. I usually get all the answers right, or near all, when I Blind Review. But I just can't seem to get them under timed …
-
sorry to be out of the know, but I don't know what this special accommodations thing is. Can someone explain why some people get this version of the test and don't have to take the experimental section? Or that they get extra breaks? This doesn't s…

@jkatz1488 yeah I totally understand. I'm Canadian and Yale has been sort of my dream school so I've done a lot of research on them. I'm still not convinced I want to go to school in the U.S, which is my major deterrent at the moment. I may end up…
-
@username and @jkatz1488 I wouldn't let that deter you from applying to Yale. If you look at the comment section of that blog a few people ask about if you have been out of school a long time and Asha says a solid letter from your employer or coll…
-
@username thanks for the response. I can see there is some history here with the two of you I'm not privy to, so I can only offer suggestions from my own vantage point. I think online forums are inherently difficult (I ran a facebook and youtube pag…
-
@username Please don't take this as a personal attack as it isn't meant to be at all, but for what it is worth I think you may be taking things too personally in regards to @"Alex Divine"'s comment. We are all here to learn things and get solid ad…

@username said: I was reading an interview with the hiring partner for a V20 or something firm a few days ago in which he mentioned that his take on job experience was, yeah, it's nice if 3L applicants have it in order to mix things up a little,…
-
I totally have had a similar experience when I do tests late. One option perhaps is to do a timed section (just 35 mins) when you get home, as it is less daunting than a full PT. As long as you blind review it, you are getting the same benefit. I…
-
@TheMikey ah I see. Well congrats then!
-
@TheMikey Can I ask how much time you had in the interval between your 140 to 170? I have a hard time believing you jumped that much in a month, which is how much time vtm has, but hey you could always be an anomaly I'd also have a hard time ima…
-
I have to disagree and say as a general comment that reading widely and even doing a vocab builder can be really valuable for the LSAT. I have a vocab builder application on my phone and pull it out when I'm on the bus or waiting in lines. Being wel…
-
Hey! So I completely agree and i'm considering postponing till December. On August 20th i'm going to sit a timed PT and if it's not at least a 160, I will bite the bullet and post pone. But I naturally don't want to, so i'm going to try my b…
-
@vtm14 Sorry to hear of your frustration. It is a hard test, so don't beat yourself up too much. If you want my honest advice, I think you should consider postponing. Of course, I could be wrong and I'm not saying there is no way you can pull up …
-
Hey cool, I didn't even know this thing existed! Thanks!
-
@LSATcantwin for what it is worth, I wonder if you have ever tried meditation practice? Or if that is something you'd like to try/add to your routine? I mention it only because I notice you post quite frequently of yo-yos in your score that seem to…
-
I go through phases. Sometimes I really love it and do feel addicted, other times I burn out and don't want to be anywhere near a logic game. It varies
-
@natb1895 Perfect! I'd love to ask you some questions about Melbourne and the university there. I'll probably hit you up with a PM later today. Melbourne does seem like a cool place. I could probably see myself living there but also want to make…
-
thanks for the thoughts @"Alex Divine" and @dennisgerrard I actually would consider living in Australia, so I'll look into it a bit more and see if it is worth it or not. @thisissparta sent me an interesting thread on the topic here: http://laws…
-
@jkatz1488 yeah it can get crazy I still spend a ton of time on BR, but I'm getting more to like 2 and a half days to BR a test, which is an improvement. lol
-
I do the same thing as @"Maddie Distasio" Actually, for a while I was even doing this on LR. That is, I'd go over every single question in BR, even if I didn't circle it. I found this to be time consuming though, and also not helping me with devel…
-
@jinnyrox If you are interested in the science/medical arena, you could look at areas specializing in medical malpractice suits where you need that science knowledge or perhaps environmental law. Just a couple thoughts
-
Also I'd just add that law in general I would say attracts more conservative types than a lot of other programs. That is just my contention and not based on any studies (if anyone knows any I'd be curious to see them!). Just that law is all about co…
-
I think you may actually find other classical liberals/libertarians/conservatives in law school. Really depends where you go. Some schools are more social justice oriented, others not. So it might be worth scoping out the political bent of the schoo…
-
I think it really depends on what your target score is, and also how high you score on your diagnostic. As @"Alex Divine" said, all of this is variable. It really depends if you have any background in logic or if you take to the material fast or no…
-
awesome, thanks!

@jennybbbbb At the risk of sounding simplistic, I think it really boils down to practice, exposure and time. It's like learning a foreign language. You can learn the basic grammar and memorize the grammar rules, but when you have to actually speak…
