I have taught college part time, worked in other industries. I am a career changer, and have had to work very closely with the legal team in my former field. I offer this so you may understand that I have been an educator, and have seen some facets of what you are referring to. I am here because I am considering law school. I think your feelings are normal. They are part of the process of applying for an advanced degree of any kind. I also think that whatever score you have it is highly unlikely you will be an imposter of any kind. I have found in life that the imposters we encounter rarely consider whether or not they are actually an imposter.

If your score garners your admission to the school you wish, this is a good thing, and the by- product of your intellect, and hard work. The LSAT is a highly studied exam by academics, and it is statistically unlikely that your score would over state in anyway anything you bring to to the 1L class you attend.

Don't take my word for it. Take a look at what psychometricians have to say about the LSAT or other exams, or the signature pedagogy of law school in conjunction with the student experience. I can assure you that those who study the construction of the LSAT would support my arguments above. I will go on a limb and offer an inference from what I have learned from those who earned an MD/JD/PhD. Many may enter questioning their abilities, but after some time in their respective program come to realize they earned the right to be there. I think you will find this to be the case.

I hope this is of benefit to you. I wish you well on your journey to the law school you seek entrance to.

Thank you, this is helpful. I sit with sections, for example, and a hypothetical prep test like for example 29 section 1 and do it, and often score 4/6. I will do another game and score 3/6. Try another and score 4/6.

I then will watch a video to see what I did wrong. I think I need to just drill & drill & drill and keep this up. I haven't worried about time. I think, perhaps, my error lays in the game board set up. Often I use 1, and try to make inferences. I think I need to try using 2-3 game boards and go from there.

Reading the comments above allowed me to reflect on what I have been doing, and as a result of reflection allowed me to consider what I need to do to upgrade my performance. Thank you all of your comments have proven beneficial.

any ideas may help

I am open to any study, or performance ideas for my successful work with logic games. I study each day, do the games daily, and watch the videos. I have seen some improvement. However, not with my quickness to compete the games. I also seem to often created three or four boards, as opposed to possibly using two. I have cracked a 100 once on one of the games, sometimes I get 4/6. I have watched the videos repeatedly. Other than repetition, does anyone have any tips or suggestions?

I have a background in the humanities and social sciences, and my study techniques usually involve memorization of everything for any exam.

Perhaps, this is a form of test anxiety, and I am self defeating. However, any study tip would be greatly appreciated. No idea is too simple, and all advice I will take seriously. Thank you for taking the time to read my post.

General Question

Hello, I am 48. A career changer and considering using this forum to study....I am trying to review the logic games for free before I commit to a purchase. I can't seem to find any answer to this question: Does this review course require the purchase of a book to go along with the videos? Or, is the information such as a text, included? Any information would be greatly appreciated

I was English teacher for some time....That doesn't mean I am an expert, but if you want me to read something, I would take a look. Message me back and let me know if you would like me to read and possibly provide comments.

Good for you. I am 48. I have variously in my working life gone back to school and worked either on a grad degree or taken a certificate, or just taken classes. Working and taking classes is not easy but it is doable. I am now here studying for the LSAT. I think law school has some advantages for those over 30 who have worked, and I think life experience and the responsibility of having a family brings a lot in terms of what you contribute to classroom discussion. Parenthood is paradigm shift for an adult. Your perspective counts. Let the admissions committee know that you have a view to contribute to the study of law. I think you bring a lot of value to the law school community for the law school you choose to attend. I am going to be the oldest student in my law school, and I look forward to that experience. Keep studying and do your best to score great on the LSAT.
