I have talked with a counselors regarding GPA addendum - and their advice was to not write one unless it was necessary and accurate. Like if that is TRULY the reason why your GPA suffered then go for it. In terms of mental illness, if you choose to write an addendum for it, you need to make sure that you explain that you are no longer affected by the illness because of X, Y, and Z (or how your situation has improved or how it cannot improve etc. etc.).

One of the counselors told me a story about how an applicant wrote an addendum for alcoholism and drug abuse during their undergraduate career, but never mentioned anything of improvement or controlling their issue. Therefore, he said, he assumed the problem was still continuing - that he would not want a student with that type of serious set back in his law school taking on such a rigorous course load.

So make sure if you decide to go with it that you explain the full story, filling any gaps so people can't just "assume". I am sure that applicant did not intentionally do that. Hope that helps!!!!

Timing and BR for Practices Questions

Hi Everyone,

I am a little early in the game - currently at Weakening Questions practice problems…I was wondering if its necessary or truly recommended to do the practice questions timed or to do BR on them. Is it better for me to just do them leisurely and kind of make sure I am doing them right? Making it a one step process instead of two? And then worrying about time and BR when it comes to the practice tests?

Thanks.

My favorite moment in studying for the LSAT would have to be my first PT. I had printed out a few tests and accidentally combined them incorrectly - because there were just so many papers. I remember looking at the answer sheet and being so so so upset about getting like basically nothing right out of the second half of the exam. I was so down and thought wow law school should totally just not be an option…then I realized I had combined the papers incorrectly…and had actually taken two tests (half of each). LOL.

As a medical coder I see a lot of adverse events (serious and non-serious) that are attributed to a variety of medications. My role has taught me that unless you have to take it - don't because the negative possibilities are truly endless. I think the cliche - "your body is a temple" is something to really keep in mind. When studying for the LSAT, and working and etc. it is easy to lose sight of the most important things in life - health, happiness, etc. So I agree with @ - run away from those pills and look for a more permanent solution - even if it requires some extra work :)

@ I have no idea what his circumstances were but I just feel so badly that that was what the counselor gathered from the situation. Like that just sucks; I am sure the applicant had no intention of doing that to himself. :( Addendums are really hard to write, as I have had to write one myself for masters programs- deciding how much information to put in and what to disclose etc. etc. and I truly feel for anyone else who is in that position. BUT with that being said, best of luck to the OP.

Will the PDFs within the questions disappear as well? Such as Grouping Games Homework Set 2 - or will those remain intact?

Confirm action

Are you sure?
