I'm thinking Sunday at 4 pm EST and yes, look up the Blind Review method in case you have any uncertainty about it.

*Another correction as well. We blind review separately and then review together

Also, as a point of clarity, don't check your answers before the blind review as the aim is to win people over with your reasoning alone for the particular answer choice you choose.

I apologize for the delayed response. Currently, I'm no longer in a position to host the review but I encourage anyone else to take the mantel and organize as they see fit.

Would GoTo Meeting as a platform and PT 74 as a test work for everyone

Alright, great to hear! I was tentatively thinking this group could review one PT a week together preferably later in the week depending on what people’s schedules look like. Given that we’re about 9 weeks out from the test, I thought starting around PT 75 or so would work well. What day(s)/time(s) work best.

Potential MPP before law school

I know that Georgetown offers a two year MPP program you can apply to with an LSAT score and given my interest in public policy and concern with my current lack of impressive gap year job experience I'm wondering whether this could be a worthwhile avenue to pursue. Any thoughts are much appreciated

Yes, as of now it looks like Skype is preferred overall though personally I'm more familiar with using GoToMeeting for this kind of thing. Whatever works best for the people who think they will attend!

Great to see there's even more interest! I'm moving to a new city tomorrow with a three hour time change so how would this Saturday at 11 PST work to look at PT 42 passage 4 and PT 45 passage 3?

Prediction For Saturday

What do people think the odds are that the LSAT writers put a weird, old-school logic game on the test this Saturday? Something in the vein of a mapping or pattern type game. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say one shows up though, of course, I hope to be wrong.

Advice on Taking Practice Tests

I'm excited to finally begin taking practice tests and wanted to know how others have simulated test day conditions most effectively. While taking the test in a perfectly quiet room at home seems unproductive, I'm tempted to start out there and then move to nosier locations.

Favorite JY Quotes

Dual Degree Question

Several of the law schools I'm looking at offer some intriguing dual-degree options (I'm most inclined toward an MA/JD) so I was wondering whether anyone is planning on taking this route as well or know of someone who has. The biggest advantage, at least on paper, is that it would take less time and given that the degree track is split up it seems like it would still be manageable.

To withdraw or not to withdraw

I'm in a bit of a conundrum and could use some advice. Although I began studying for the September LSAT in late May, my progress, particularly within the realm of Logic Games, was slow. At the time, I was solely using PowerScore and it was not until two weeks ago that I began 7sage's Core Curriculum. Since then, I feel like I've finally broken through in terms of my understanding of Logic Games and the more difficult analytical reasoning questions. Unfortunately, the time window to withdraw from the September lsat date and receive a refund passed right before I discovered 7sage. With all of this in mind, it seems I have two options:

(1) take the test (I'm halfway through the Core Curriculum and have scored 164 and 163 on the only practice tests I've taken) with the very real risk that I blow up on test day but could later take the December test

(2) withdraw from the test and take the December 3rd LSAT (I realize I'd need to explain somewhere in my application letter the legitimate reason for doing this)

I'd really appreciate any guidance that could be offered.

Personal Statement Ideas

So I'm currently debating between two wildly different ideas for my personal statement: one about the world of undergraduate moot court (I took the class for three years and it really solidified my desire to pursue law school) and another about a week long camping trip in the Grand Canyon where I had some near death experiences. Obviously, the first topic is way more directly relevant to law school, however I also feel that the second is unique and potentially more interesting. Any thoughts?

Tremendous Online Encyclopedia

This is a somewhat off topic post, but I recently decided to check out Stanford's free online philosophy encyclopedia (plato.stanford.edu) and found it to be a tremendous resource. It contains a staggering amount of posts on theories/thinkers ranging from antiquity to now (there's a ton of material for any nerds of legal theory) and, considering some of the subject matter, is written in a clear and understandable way. If you ever have some spare time and are even remotely interested I'd recommend checking it out at some point

Reading Comprehension Advice

I saw someone post a while back about how they would, given their reading speed, read RC passages twice before tackling the questions. I'm curious what others think of this strategy since I've struggled with slowing my reading pace down.

Personal Statement Question

After talking with a law school admissions consultant I am second guessing whether the topic of my personal statement, two experiences hiking and camping in the Grand Canyon, is really the best choice. Originally I had planned to write about my undergraduate moot court adventures, but that was mostly because I was under the impression that the personal statement implicitly wanted to know "why law". I'd love to hear from others which direction they would go as well as any insights from their own experience.
