The Big Day

Hey everyone! What should be done on the day before the LSAT? I've heard that it's a big no-no to study, but wanted to hear your thoughts.

Additionally, what should you do the morning of?

Thanks in advance!

What's Law School Like?

Hi everyone. I was curious if any alumni could shed some light on what law school is really like, particularly regarding the workload. Thanks in advance!

The prestige difference between Georgetown and WUSTL is nominal. What matters most at the end of the day is employment. According to Law School Transparency, WUSTL has better placement outcomes (don't know how they determine this, as Georgetown does have close to 10% more graduates in big law. The scholarship is a big deal. Additionally, don't forget about the cost of living! Saint Louis is about as inexpensive a city as you can find. Ultimately, it is unknown how you will do in law school, as it is unclear what the job market will be like. Finally, from my limited interaction with the faculty at WashU thus far, they are very eager to help you succeed. This is conjecture, but I could see how it would be easy to become a number in Georgetown. All in all, WashU is the place to be! (Disclaimer: I am attending WashU next year, so I am a bit biased. However, the other school I would have most been inclined to attend would probably have been Georgetown, so I've already thought through your dilemma quite a bit!)

@ I initially was taking a ridiculous amount of PTs, and it did pay dividends. However, as you've mentioned, it is quite taxing, and it can make you score worse/work less effectively. Something that I've found is that supplementing PTs with sections during the week is very beneficial. I know it is considered sacrilegious to take apart a PT. However, if you are only going to take one PT a week, I don't know if using a second one for sections is going to kill you. This is especially true if you are using older sections (e.g. prior to LSAT 34), but I think it may be true regardless.

@ and @ , thanks for your response! From what you've said, you seem to imply that there are some differences. What would those be?

For all those considering WUSTL

Hello everyone. As a fellow 0L, just wanted to let you know that I have been working with WUSTL'S career center to improve my resume and get some info about different career/internship options. They have been fantastic!

I thought I bombed my LSAT and got five points higher than expected. We tend to be very hard on ourselves after the test. However, I'm generally pessimistic about my scores on practice tests. If you are as well, I would think twice about cancelling.

Those crafty LSAT writers! Look how they put the word "more" and "most" within two words of each other, making it easy to conflate the two as you read through the stimulus with 2 minutes on the clock!

Hi everyone! I know this sounds like an oxymoron, but is there such a thing as a family-friendly law job? Thanks!

Messed up on the nature of this computer program. "Has lost" implies that the computer analyzes previous games, not that we are simulating outcomes of games.

When proctors call "time is up", are you able to bubble in a last-minute choice (practically and legally)?

I think it's just a matter of time. The more familiar you get with the test, the more you will develop an innate understanding of how LSAC makes the LSAT and what they are looking for from you. There's this "aha" moment, which cannot be predicted when it will come. Just keep on PTing!

Ditto to everyone above. I'll add that the vast majority of my progress has come within the past month (been on 7Sage since around May). Be patient. With good work ethic, you will probably see the fruits of your labor soon enough.

Unfortunately, from personal experience, I would venture to guess that your score is highly inflated. This is especially true if you did your blind review properly. That being said, there is still value in retaking PTs.

Looking for Advice

Hi everyone! So I have been trying to read for structure, and I think it has paid off mild dividends. However, not enough. RC is killing me, scoring around -6 on it. With the September LSAT on the horizon, I was wondering if there is something I can do to try to get a few more points in RC. Is it worth it to buy the LSAT trainer and drill the RC section? Are there any other useful RC resources? Thanks!

If a section was experimental on Saturday, can the same section be experimental on the undisclosed test?

Old Prep Tests

Is it a bad idea to use tests prior to 34 for practice? Clearly, the LSAT has evolved quite a bit. However, I venture to guess that there is still a lot to be gained from earlier tests, even outside of LG.

Experimenting With Reading for Structure

Pardon my panicking, but I'm a month away from the LSAT and decided to change my approach to RC, with major emphasis placed on structure as opposed to details. In doing so, I managed to get -12 (woah!) on the RC section in PrepTest 63. Has anybody experimented with RC and fallen into such a rut in the past? In particular, has anybody experimented with an emphasis on structure? If so, do you have any advice as how to adopt this approach (in other words, what should I be doing to inculcate such an approach into my strategy)? (If it is relevant, my inspiration came from Mike Kim's free RC video online.)

@ thanks for the tip! Have been doing approximately 4 answers per a glance at the test, could be the culprit of my bubbling mistakes.

Thanks Kermit750. I think saying the question number would just complicate matters more. One page at a time may be the way to go. However, the omniscient JY said we shouldn't do that!

Bubble Trouble

Hi everyone!

I know this is not a new topic, but please indulge me nonetheless. I've had back to back Prep Tests with a misbubbled answer choice...not the way you want to lose points. I've tried to sub-vocalize as I write down answers, but I guess it isn't working. Any thoughts as how to minimize bubbling errors? To clarify, I currently bubble two pages at a time (each page is marked on the answer sheet in separate glances at the test book).

Thanks in advance!

Study Advice (sob story)

Hey everyone. So, I was pumped going into test day today, and was happy with how I was doing...until I realized that I had a bubbling error that messed up my whole section. That being said, I will unfortunately be sitting for the November exam. However, I have a bit of a dilemma, given that I have approximately 7 tests beyond PT 35 at my disposal that I have yet to do. I think that I have solid mastery of the content, as I've been scoring generally in high 160s, low 170s. Nonetheless, without enough practice tests, I think my skills will atrophy. Any advice as to what I should do to prepare for my next LSAT? Are there any good practice tests not produced by LSAC?

Hi there. If this is any help, I'm with you in your frustrations!

I'm definitely not great at RC. However, one thing that I found helped me, at the very least mentally (although I think I improved slightly as a result of this) is to keep a quick pace in the questions. Invariably, you will be given hard questions. Sometimes, you'll have two 5 star questions in the first passage alone! The key is to not get bogged down. If you narrow it down to 2 ACs, that's a 50% on that question. The reason I advocate this approach is that you don't want to sacrifice the entire final passage rushing through it. Additionally, you may have extra time to come back to some of the questions you took an educated guess on.

@ I'm open to anywhere at this point, but DC area and St. Louis would probably be my two top locations.

I looked on ABA a bit, somewhat helpful.

@ Do you know of any free resources?

Thanks for your help!
