i can do it too- was editor in chief of my school newspaper. fresh eyes always help. miriruchert@.com

this is exactly how i feel about logic games. i hate doing them which is why i can't motivate myself to do enough of them...when I read I naturally get curious about the subject matter and structure and it is so fun answering the questions, because they matter. Just as I never understood why anyone cares what 'x' is in math, I do not understand why it matters who goes first in a row of people holding speeches...is it genie or mark? Riveting. not! oh well, onward and upward...i am hoping for a burst of motivation to be able to drill logic games...good luck to everyone!

Thank You! You made my day today :-) you are sweet sweet people!!

you can PM me here...I will read it...last time it took me a while for someone, but i have a bit more time right now so should be quicker...

if you are fluent, then I would bubble in that you are fluent. Not sure if it would affect anything.

i think then you should first answer the question "why law school?" law school case reading is WAY harder than any of the reading comprehension passages. go to the legal information institute at cornell and then start reading material there - or SCOTUS blog helps too if you are absolutely sure you answered "why law school for me?" satisfactorily...

Thanks everyone. I am back after a time-out. Most likely I will keep going and re-take in October. Thanks again for all your encouraging words. It meant a lot to me!! You are an awesome group of people I am proud to be part of.

Thank You so much for all your help. I am still deciding. More than half off at Santa Clara or re-take and apply again next year to better schools. I think that when I defer, it comes with the stipulation that I am foregoing applying to other schools. So I would have to risk them not taking me next year if I want to improve. Toughest choice ever.

i would purchase the deluxe package here w 7sage and no less. you will only maximize your performance by taking as many PT's as possible after taking, id suggest, the full course they have to offer here. I still cannot believe sometimes how great the explanatory videos are. Before I watched JY and Jonathan explain things I would not have thought such explanations are possible. And they are so funny as well. I will miss 7sage when I move on. greatly. so, since you need more PT's than the 3month package offers I would purchase the biggest package. You will not regret it. I had some booklets already but purchased the PT's again so I could have the explanations...i wish i could watch them forever for a laugh and hope in mankind ;-) Miriam

My favorite moment was remembering all the elements of the last logic game of the December 14 LSATs experimental section, including all the ordering and rules. As if I had taken a picture. However, I could not remember the subject matter at all, which baffled my husband...

7 sage logic videos are simply the best.

Valuable constructive criticism in my mind has nothing to do with being 'chewed out.' It did you a service, right? I definitely learned from the post and know what I need to do to do better. Thanks Jonathan!

yep. trying for t14 for sure. Im geographically bound because i have four kids - live relatively close to stanford and berkeley so will try. If not, santa clara, and then I will just make it great. It really is what you make of it too. Santa Clara has a summer program w the hague, although I would hesitate to get into the ICC mess…

I'm going for the knowledge…then secondly to go into international human rights law, helping NGO's like innocence en danger. I would want to end up in academia as I love legal research and writing.

I felt like giving up SO many times. At least as many times as I felt stupid. Studying for this test is the hardest I have attempted, and I am raising 4 kids, so that says it all…DONT GIVE UP! You can do it! I know it. The most difficult about this test is the mental endurance you need to build up. Its important to be confident enough. And when you have that flight or fight response so unwelcome to us (can't punch the question ;-) then remember to breathe deeply and move on when calm….we can do this, right?

how important is it to break 160? If it is an existential issue, as in my case (I postponed 5 times because I have not been able to reach my potential partly due to 4 kids in the house), and you are pretty sure you have not reached your potential, that is there is room for improvement, I would postpone. You should really take this once and when you are more than ready.

you can always wait a year to apply. The most important is that you take the test when ready, meaning you have your desired score in multiple PTs prior. The comment that law schools don't go anywhere is correct, and unless you are 50, waiting to apply might pay off.

while i do feel the sentiment I strongly discourage any such fires due to the toxicity of the smoke that will enter your lungs ;-)

what jayswims said...it does not matter what you list on your resume. they get the academic report which includes the grades from all your transcripts...it will show them the major grade separate though. I would not worry about all that. Plus, you never want to try to conceal evidence ;-)

Thank You so much!!

Do as many full timed practice tests as you can. I studied for a while but never took enough of strictly timed sections/full tests and I ended up back w my diagnostic score - it was painful. so make sure you have the timing down.

reading case law summaries provided by cornell's legal information institute might help. my favorite! http://www.law.cornell.edu. I am pretty sure there will be a lot of reading of law passages in law school, so this will help to prep you for that too. Good luck! Miriam

i signed up for santa clara law school - is supposed to be great! Hoping reviews will reflect reality...

phenomenon....

i bubble after each question even w logic games as I am terrified Im messing up the order...
