Same here. I'm 36 years old. I was in the Army up until this past February (medically retired). I was supposed to take the LSAT this past December but operational requirements got in the way.

I always wanted to go to Law School, but got distracted by a job in the Intel Community, which brought me to the Army and ultimately my Masters degree. I'm taking advantage of having uninterrupted time to study between now and June.

Thank you for your service.

Age is man-made

Choose a school you are interested and do your best to leave with as little debt as possible. It's my opinion that it'll be a lot less stressful to look for a job when loans aren't breathing down your neck (i.e. less pressure, more patience etc).

Additionally, it'll sound a lot better at Happy Hour when you tell the group you hardly have debt and they're on a two drink limit lol.

But seriously, so many factors go into getting a job in all walks of life. I personally think some people could just be bad at interviews. Law degree or not, it's humans hiring humans.

Either way, you'll be fine if you have a positive mental attitude.

Subscribe to the Youtube channel. May not catch them all but that should help.

7sage starter packet and LSAT Trainer are sweet for your pockets and mind. Manhattan has good books too.

Could the 1st section be experimental? Bro, I seen a LR question stem that asked some shit about which one of the following questions would be in response to the stimulus....on some jeopardy show/Alex Trebek vibes. If that aint experimental, I may have to drive up to Newtown PA.

Definitely an unorthodox feeling the Monday after. Im not sure if its good or bad.

My GPA sucks and you and I are both going to law school. Don't even let negativity rent space in your head.

As the great philosopher Young Jeezy says: "Scared money don't make no money".

Congrats

25/50/75 scores are on a bell curve. In other words, there COULD be applicants that have above the 75 percent number and/or below the 25 percent number. Im not sure a school is "allowed" to have a cut off. But remember these schools, as much as they say it's a holistic process, they care about the numbers.

Im going with a TIMEX and the proctor gonna respect my hustle.

-Main Conclusion drilling will help you spot Conclusions faster and faster as you improve. Realize that the conclusion and the support relationship is flawed and majority of the questions that ask you to be critical will play on this relationship.

-Additionally, it's helpful to understand why 3-4 answer choice is wrong immediately than it is to spot a correct choice. Especially with the subtle answer choices (i.e. Required Assumption).

-You want to be in a consistent comfortable groove of crossing out at least 3 answer choices before you decide (and confirm) the correct answer choice.

-Understanding what context is (aka background information aka fluff), where it end and where the argument starts is crucial. Expect a wrong answer to speak on this, which is, commonly tempting. (Depends on the question of course)

Good shxt!!

Namaste though.

Here's overall advice that helped me. 1st like the CC, we must remember that 1% help or 99% help strengthens an argument. Whenever you see an stimulus argue causation for a conclusion, 1st remember this is a flaw, to strengthen a causation argument the AC may be subtle ranging from showing without B present, A was also absent. Remember this doesn't prove the argument 100% valid but it helps. Also another subtle strengthen AC may be a similar comparison (ive seen this on earlier test especially). [in PowerScore's drill book they have a chapter on specifically cause and effect, watch JYs lesson on Strengthen and Weaken then drill from this chapter. Cause and Effect can be used for majority of the LR questions]. Also ive seen a couple times, Strengthen may have a defender AC that also helps. I had to get in the mindset of just helping an argument for Strengthening and not fixing (i hope that makes sense). I'm sure some other folks have better advice but thats what has helped me in recent weeks.

Keep drilling though. Patterns start to become clearly.

Namaste.

May your Deity bless you. Thanks.

Try it out and see how YOU like it.

CC in order (took a while to digest)

C**bridge drilling packets for LR and Games

LSAT Trainer

IMO The Trainer and 7sage compliment each other well. Some material is better in video form, other was better through text. I love(d) them both.

But I always went back to certain videos on 7sage (especially the Grammar lesson).

Namaste.

The conditional lessons are crucial. You'll mentally enjoy.

The LSAT Trainer helped me with flaws tremendously.

Namaste

I did the LSAT Trainer after CC and it was helpful. In 7sage, The Grammar curriculum, the Valid and Invalid arguments and since it was a weakness for me all the assumption lessons should be looked at as many times as you can. The Trainer will make you a beast with flaws.

NAMASTE

After every RC passage, after every game, after every two pages of LR (which means each time you turn the page). After a bit of practice, it becomes second nature, and provides you with a couple of breathers throughout the section.

Great advice and very underrated.

The people that look like me and come from where I come from need alot of help. I'm on a quest to change the paradigm.

@gregoryalexanderdevine723 yeah that last nugget is very interesting. Thanks.

In addition, This might be a good question for the TLS forums. Alot good advice on there (if you could parse through the many, many trolls).

Namaste.

1st and most importantly, Thank you for your service.

I'm eager to finish my full sleeve. Dress how anyone in your position would. "follow" dress code for specific situations but dont let it be something in the back of your mind. Anyone being nitpicky about what ink they see is someone (or school) that I personally dont want to be associated with. That includes any and every admissions officer. On the flip side, tattoos or not, if i had an interview I would wear a collared shirt (for example) for the purpose of the interview not to cover my tats.

Good luck
