Does anyone recall how many questions were in the last game (South American tours)?

I think game 1 had 5 and all the others had 6

Did anybody else really enjoy the bike passage? And also feel that the bikers were right? It's just outrageous that they should be cut off from the path while the walkers and equestrians are not.

LOL. For some crazy reason, this was my favorite passage ever. :)

Me too! I enjoyed 3/4 of the passages (save the science one). Although I think the questions were hard for the intellectual property passage. It reminded me of the comparative IP passage where they talked about Chefs and Comedians... (------- This is when you know you've been doing this for too long.(/p)

Public library is where I did it, but it is hard to simulate a test environment. It is easier to block out noise happening all around then it is when it is very quiet and one very specific noise problem pops up. This happened to me on the test with the girl who had the sniffles all of a sudden during section 5. I took about 20 seconds to refocus and was able to get past it, but to me that is harder than a bunch of noise so if you can practice that somehow.

I just did this exact scenario, I applied and I was hoping I could get in then take the Jan LSAT and get a higher score and use it for scholarship negotiation but every law school said they had to hold my application for the later score. A few of them called me and asked me if I wanted them to go ahead and review my file or wait. So, no matter what you do, most if not all are going to wait on the new score if you are registered to take another LSAT.

From what I have heard about these situations there will be a make-up day test so you will still get to take it soon. Here is the problem with it though, they won't necessarily tell you when it is right away and they don't seem to give much notice. For example, they could call you in a 2 weeks, meaning you waited 2 weeks and heard nothing, and tell the make-up test is in 2 days.... These are just the stories that I have heard, the good news is you get to take the test, you get your score on the same day as the other takers and it won't affect admissions.

It doesn't have to be an either or, you can do both if you have to

The student that does that is the one that has done her homework and done it well.

those start the day of and after the the test is taken

Have you decided where you want to go yet? That would be step 1.

Good morning, as I was finishing my application to your school, I noticed that you do not provide a spot for an addendum. I didn't want to just attach it anywhere on the application without permission so I was wondering if you would like me to send it to you or attach it somewhere? (---- That's what I said to a school in an email and she had me email it to her.(/p)

I think to best prepare yourself you should do practice tests just like the real LSAT then when you blind review you will have all the time you need to answer questions that you may not have got to during the test.

@ you are going to get a lot of great LSAT advice on here so I am going to go in the other direction, no not bad LSAT advice, but teaching. I am in the middle of my 9th year teaching, do you know what you will be doing, grade middle or high school? And what subject(s)? Also, does Teach for America train you?

Does anybody remember the word they called the languages that are invented for trading purposes? (From RC)

do you mean pidgin?

Yes, that's what I was looking for, I wanted to research more about it. Thank you.

If you apply now, they are going to hold your application anyway until the January score comes back.

How badly do you want it?

It's not about going or not going, I am going to law school, that's decided. I'm just trying to decide if I should continue working while doing it.

I wouldn't say you "under performed", just tell them what the scores were for your SAT and ACT, with that GPA, it will show them that it was not predictive of success in your case. For the LSAT, if there is a good reason, you should explain the absence. But, if your reason is, I forgot, then maybe don't say anything.

Where can you see scholarship info?

I did a writing sample on an earlier test when we did written right after the test. I have bad doctor like handwriting, and since I've heard the photo copy and scanning makes the writing ever harder to read, they almost certainly won't be able to read it. Will it make me look lazy if I don't do a typed version? I don't think the one I wrote was bad, but there is a 99.9% chance they won't be able to make out a lot of it.

There is one way you can build your self-confidence, it is by helping other people build their self-confidence. Tell the people around you how much you appreciate them, it is perfect timing because it is the holiday season, I suggest writing many people a note or on a card. Don't make things up, think about how you feel about them and tell them, everybody wants to feel appreciated. I promise you that it will make you feel better about yourself.

Definitely try to get more information from them before you commit to a drive like that, it probably is a test they offer for free already. Having said that, It is helpful to redo a test a 2nd or even a 3rd time especially if you took the test awhile ago. You also have the option of walking out if you see section 1 and it is a test you just took.

How many tests have you done? In other words, what are the odds that it will be one that you've done? I would base it on that.

I didn't even think that you would carry over what was left in 1990 over to 1991, I guess it is kind of common sense now that I see it but still an assumption one has to make which is kind of a flaw in the question to me.

Write a GPA addendum drawing their attention to the difference between now and 10 years ago.

6-8 sounds about right, it depends on the school though. I would say try not to think about it but you will, so just get used to it :wink:
