LSAC will be hosting its law school forum in NYC this weekend. Does anyone know if you are allowed to bring a guest with you (parent, friend, significant other, etc.)?

Mmm, take this advice with caution. There are MANY things to take into consideration when picking your law school.
Things like;
Loans/Grants
Employment Statistics
Bar Passage
Job placement
For instance Hofstra has a 41% employment rate after graduation whereas Harvard has a 91% employment rate.
I think both "T-14 or bust" and "follow the money" are over simplifying things. I think the best advice is to carefully compare, and weigh, all of your options.
I also caution people to not rely on anecdotal evidence. You can succeed from a low rank school and fail at a top ranked school. Statistically it is more likely to come out the other way though.
I guess the crux of what I'm saying is; make informed, educated decisions, based on the totality of your individual situation. Don't just think rank/money should decide the school for you.
Literally would give this one hundred likes if I could. Of course low ranked schools can get you jobs, but the question still stands: Where would you get hired? Let's not kid ourselves. If two people apply to a white-shoe law firm, and one went to UCLA while the other went to Thomas Jefferson School of Law, I think that the question answers itself.
Absolutely loved this. Forget law school, you should rap!
I agree with JustDoIt. There's no point in lying about when you plan to begin law school. Whenever you begin, you begin. The most important thing is that you graduate from law school and get a decent job.
I rarely erase on LG. I usually cross out. I have realized that the time I waste erasing could easily be put into making more inferences.
LG was the section I initially hated the most, but it became my favorite section, honestly. I have finished taking the LSAT and am currently in the process of getting application materials ready to apply to law school in the fall. Now, I actually do LG for fun! I started out in a similar situation as yours, but I used the foolproof method. After using this method, It took about a month or so before I began to see improvements in my LG score. I also noticed that the later games (PT 63 onwards) seem a bit easier than earlier ones. So, in other words, it does get better.
LG begins to click after a while, but it only clicked for me after foolproofing. Remember, and J.Y. says this all the time, memorize inferences. With the exception of a few pattern games, there is no such thing as a new LG. LSAT writers simply reincarnate games. When you begin to memorize inferences and realize that games are just clever reincarnations of each other, then you will begin to see massive improvement in LG.
I would go for the Ultimate+. You have much more to gain that any money that you would lose in purchasing it.
As for your studying plan, 4-5 months might be sufficient depending on where you currently are. What were the dates of the three scores that you mentioned? If they were many months ago, maybe you should take a test right now and see your score. If you realize that there are certain sections or question types you are missing, you can target those by drilling them. Also, you can always work a little faster through the parts of the CC that do not give you trouble especially since you are already familiar with LSAT concepts.
Just my luck! LSAC begins to get softer after I've finished taking the LSAT.
Quick question though.
his change will result in greater convenience and flexibility for test takers as the testing date will be shorter, the essay will be typed rather than handwritten, and it can be completed at a time and place of the test takers' choosing.
Will the essay be administered on a timed platform (i.e., some computer program) even though it can be completed at one's convenience?
Personally, I found that doing one logic game section a day really helped me to improve my score on LG. Also, what I would did was time myself per game. For instance, for the first game I would give myself 5-6 mins then move on, for the second game I would give myself 9-10 mins before moving on, and so forth.
I’ve read online that the average score for URM (Black Males) at T-14 schools is a 159
Wow, that's nearly unbelievable! Where did you read this?

I've studied for at least 2000 hours.....
Same.

Edit: never mind. Just searched “buy” on his website and it says sales are closed. You can sign up to join the waitlist.
Has anyone purchased this this year? I’m confused a little about the website and was only able to find the purchase link thru the link posted above.
Just checked the website. The sales are open. They close in 18 days.
Here is the link: https://larrylawlaw.com/ktcools-sales/
Just to throw in a little philosophy, remember that whatever your LSAT score will be was already predestined. Every step you take in life was already predestined. Therefore, there is no sense in getting nervous or anxious about something which has already been ordained.
With that said, best of luck to everyone. Stay calm and show the LSAT who's boss!

I also want to point out that if any of this is actually serious, it's incredibly rude to do this to the people you're taking the test with. Imagine trying to take the most important test of your life and the person next to you not only shits themselves, but then keeps testing. I would not hesitate a call to LSAC to lodge a complaint tbh.
LOL
I don't think that 2 or 3 (maybe even 4) retakes could even be a major problem considering the LSAC has implemented unlimited retakes.
