@"Nilesh S" You sir, are a real superhero. Thank you so much for your help. Luckily I still live pretty close to Cal and so might be able to hit up a professor there and ask for a research opportunity (in the time I would normally study for the LSAT…

@"Nilesh S" Thank you SOOO much for all the advice! My worry about doing only a PhD is that unless I get into a top program, I also have no guarantee for a job. Even worse, I have nothing else that I am qualified to do. If you get a crappy adviser o…

@dinobunny Hmm. Interesting. I just checked, California Community Colleges will let you teach with a BA in the field you want to teach and a JD. That sounds promising and doesn't require research with I do enjoy but less than teaching I believe. I…

@dinobunny said: Most law prof have a JD but not PhD (note a JD by itself def not enough to get a teaching position in law school I'm not sure I completely understood what you meant here. Are you saying most law professors at your campus have a …

Some big things: 1) LG is like math. When you're right you're right. You can't be more or less right which can sometimes be arguably in other sections a bit more. If it is a CBT question and you find that it could be true circle it and move on. 2) b…

Think about it this way: if you build a house on a poor foundation, you will hit a point that no matter how much you add you it, it will keep falling apart. Kaplan is a poor foundation. You can't just go back and try to add some extra cement. You ne…

@nicole.hopkins no they don't. Only Mexican and Puerto Rican Latinos. All others don't.

@"Jonathan Wang" the thing is that the LSAT can be made for accessible and affordable in very easy ways were as rebuilding the higher education establishment is much harder. Why is it that those that go through the super intense means testing for a …

My problem with the people arguing against the social-economic barriers placed against the LSAT are the name problems I have with the classic "pull your self up by the boot straps" conservatives. People, who have never been poor, passed hunger, not …
-
Sorry but this doesn't sound like a break and based on you last few post I really do believe you need a BREAK. Not like a couple of hours away but more like a week or two without the LSAT taking up your time. Working on logic in order to improve you…

@josephellengar DUDE! I tried you strategy (more like mindset) today on a PT and I saw great results. Went -2 and -3 in LR from about -5/-6 on average before. I should note that the -5/-6 was on newer PTs (51, 52, & 70) and this was was on a old…

@alp7q said: like that if I go to anything short of HYS for sticker then I'll be eating ramen and bartending deep in debt for the rest of my days. (I'm not saying there may not be some truth to that). But like nah. There isn't much truth to that a…
-
@Pacifico, As always, your advice is amazing, thoughtful, and very much appreciated. Love the experimentation and journal idea. Thanks so much!
-
@josephellengar Wow. Great advice. I'm going to try implementing that strategy a bit more. I often have 1 maybe 2 Q's at the end that are long PR questions I skipped but I do often catch myself hitting the answer choices without being very sure abou…

First, just want to advice I would take anything that Kaplan taught you with a grain of salt. They have a reputation of being pretty bad at teaching the LSAT. But more precisely on the strategy, it doesn't sound too convincing. The LSAT writers are…

Lets take a minute here and distinguish "cannot" and "don't want to." They are different. I'm not sure what your situation is but it is very likely that you can postpone when you apply but you do not want to. What difference is there between applyin…
-
I recommend trying to do 10 of the first 12 questions in 10 minutes. This means skipping two harder questions if needed. Keeps you moving at first where it easier to waste time spinning your wheels. Also read J.Y. (?) article on why you need to skip…
-
Honestly, I think you started PTing way too late for the Dec LSAT. I depends what score you are aiming for of course but a 160+ is unlikely to happen in a month of PTs even if you are studying the whole time. I would suggest you postpone. You don'…
-
That would be amazing. My biggest question would be: how did you conquer RC? Did you have to work up to it was in just a natural talent? If you had to work for it, what did you do? Because I SUCK at RC.
-
@cbarker3241 I wouldn't worry too much if you see a difference in your BR score. After finishing the curriculum I think your BR should be a lot higher than it was before because that shows you learned the material. The timed score may just be lower …

Dec. 2016 Lsat?
-
Thanks everyone for the great advice. Honestly it's a relief that I don't have to hammer out RC for the next 3 months because I hate it. And I actually really enjoy doing games even if repeated through fool proof method. Often do 2 in the morning wi…
-
@eastring My only question would be: Is it worth the risk of getting into a worse school with far less money available to start a year earlier? February test for that same year often affect acceptance rates quite a bit (especially the higher in the …
-
Thank you so much Nicole!
-
My advice differs a bit from there's^ though. And of course, it is up to you what you choose to do. But based on what you said, you don't have too many fresh new PTs left and I do see a difference between the new test and older ones. Not that some a…
-
Honestly, my advice would be wait until February. Do well in school this cycle and keep your GPA up. Than focus on the LSAT after. Don't run straight into PTing because you don't have many high ones left. Drill in the areas you need most and than PT…

Are you a full-time undergrad student ATM? Do you have a lot of PT's you haven't taken yet?
-
@slizzard @StopLawying how far in the curriculum are you? Very interested though.

Great advice @splitter ! Thanks!

@splitter @slizzard @eddySH84 I am also in the similar shoes. I was studying hard the last 2 months but got offered a job starting Oct. 1st I didn't want to turn down which through everything out of wack because I was planning on taking the Dec LSA…
