You'll get an email roughly 10 days before the test asking you to create a ProctorU account (they will have made a basic one for you, you just have to change the password and such). At that point you have a large number of time sots from early morning to later in the afternoon and evening to choose from. I personally logged in first thing in the morning on the "chose your slot" day for the October administration and had no issues getting the exact time I wanted.

LOR from my brother in law??

I have a very odd question to ask! I'm about to start the application process for law school, and am getting ready to ask for letters of recommendation from people. One of the best sources I could ask for a LOR from would be my new brother in law. He's a practicing attorney that I have worked for over 5 years for as a paralegal (I've dated his brother for 7 years until we recently married). I'm concerned that the unusual, mildly nepotistic structure of the situation would be frowned upon by admissions advisers (especially considering the last names will be practically the same, as I've hyphenated).

So what does everyone think? Should I find someone else? Would you think it would negatively impact my chances or am I overthinking it?

Did the test feel like it went well or poorly?

That's the odd part.. I felt very good about it! I was stressed and tired afterwards, but overall I felt good. Perhaps I should upgrade to the Ultimate and spend more time before I retake it again.

To Rescore or Not? Advice!

As with many of you, I eagerly awaited the results of the February 2018 test. I found out this morning that I absolutely BOMBED the test. I scored a 139, which is a full 10 points lower than my average practice test scores and I've never scored lower than a 144.

Obviously I'm heartbroken and upset, but should I take this defeat and study harder next time or take the risk and have my test rescored by hand? I see that it's $100 to have it rescored, which isn't exactly cheap.

*disclaimer: I had to move homes during the heaviest part of my studying, so perhaps that stress was a factor in my poor score..

Don't worry about being 24! I'm almost 26 and looking to get into law school for the fall 2019/spring 2020 cycle, meaning that I'll be past 30. Don't pressure yourself with artificial deadlines created by yourself or others. What's right for you will happen, and follow what your gut says is the best decision. I will have taken almost 2 years past undergrad by the time I'm in law school, and not only hast he break been great for my mental health and relaxation, but it's enabled me to advance even more in my work position from being a legal assistant to now a paralegal. I feel so much more confident in my decision for law school and my preparedness level, and I wouldn't have known that if I didn't allow myself the break to study more and get a higher LSAT score.

Lower ranked school for sure. All of the attorneys I've spoken to and who have advised me have always said one or both of two things: (1) it's better to be a big fish in a little pond than a small fish in a big pond. Meaning, shine and succeed in the less prestigious institution and get those resume boosters because there's way more competition in the bigger more prestigious schools. (2) Literally no one cares where you went to law school unless you're in a top 10 school. Future employers will care more about bar passage and any honors you've received in law school.

Just regular advice, the days of making $100k a year starting out attorney salaries are long gone. Therefore, the smallest amount of debt you can incur will set you up for the future much better and allow you to choose a job based on interest and passion instead of one that will help you pay the crushing law school debt back (that's more advice I've gotten from practicing attorneys).

7Sage-ing on the go - help!!

I'm looking for some study advice. I'd love to be able to have more of a life (LOL) while I study for the LSAT, but because 7Sage doesn't have a mobile friendly app, I'm left to studying on my laptop or work computer. I'm wondering if it's feasible/possible to do the lessons on a tablet with relative ease? For example, I'd love to be able to go to the gym, hop on the exercise bike and do lessons simultaneously (a more modern Elle Woods studying type, I suppose!).

Because I work full-time, I've found myself choosing studying over regular person activities, and I'd like to see if anyone has had experience with "outside of the box" 7Sage-ing!
