Hi everyone,

I am finishing up my application for my 1st choice school. Please keep in my mind, my 1st choice school is really the only option I am considering due to the location, owning a home, my significant other's career, etc. Also, it is not a top school by any means and I am well above their top GPA and predict I will be above their top LSAT. However, I am trying to put together the best application package I can because without scholarships, it would not be financially reasonably for me to quit my career and attend. All of that being said, there is a "public service addendum" option to complete. I have been a police officer for 5 years and that is my current career. Should I list my accomplishments in public service as a police officer or is this referring to public service in a volunteer compacity? I appreciate any guidance anyone can offer.

Thank you!!

Amanda C.

Hey guys! While I don’t have another experience to compare it to since this was my first time, our digital process went incredibly smoothly. I actually liked that I could set the tablet up and read without being hunched over. Also, not having to fill in tiny bubbles and worrying that you bubbled the wrong one and got off track for the next 10 questions is a huge relief. I think this method saves some time for me that way, except.. I had a couple questions I flagged to go back to and got short on time so flipping through the screens to select an answer was a bit slower than rapidly filling in the blank ones on a Scantron. I intend to write again in October so either way it’s not the end of the world, I’m just glad I got to experience the digital version for this test. For the ones that got stuck waiting around for the digital, just know that it is capable of being run smoothly. It didn’t appear anyone had trouble with their tablet from what I could tell.

My memory doesn’t seem to be as good as everyone else’s as far as which section contained which questions BUT:

I did HAVE:

Sickleback fish

Jupiter

Tomatoes

Zebra camouflage

Planets/Stars

Bleached Coral

I did NOT have:

Haunted Houses

Coffeehouses

Napoleon

English Trade

Chinese Tea

Arsenic

Lemurs

Furthermore, the RC did seem tough to me in comparison to the recent 80s PTs I’ve taken. I always seem to trudge through if the topic isn’t at all interesting to me and the first passage was awful! So I definitely felt a bit slow. I’m not where I would like to be on LGs yet but they didn’t seem to be overwhelmingly difficult.

Good luck to everyone planning to write again... for me, back to powering through some more LGs.
