Correlations are incredibly easy to spot, when you have all the time in the world to do so. The problem with looking for a correlation, is that relative to other relationships, they aren't incredibly common - yes, you'll see a few on every LSAT, but…

Practice, practice, practice. I remember absolutely hating weakening questions. The nice thing about them is that they're practically all the same. The more you expose yourself to weakening questions, the easier it'll be to hone in on what exactly w…

First off, congratulations! I don't know you, but I truly am happy that you beat cancer. Second, if you feel that accommodations would benefit you, seek them out! Don't let pride or over-humility be the reason why you underperform. There's a rea…

As a TA, I used a Scantron machine a handful of times. A small tear on the side likely won't affect how your answer sheet is graded. If you're absolutely paranoid, just have them manually grade it, as @"Cant Get Right" suggested.

I brought enough to get the proctor's attention. He saw my bag, started laughing, and said, "guess you won't need that sharpener." The instructions say to bring 4 (I think), but most of the people around me had 8+

@david.busis That's the plan! Thanks, David!

@"Cant Get Right" Hey Josh! Long time no speak, haha. That's what I was thinking! It feels rude to just leave them hanging. Yup, I'll likely attend. See ya' there!

Educate your friend on defamation law. But, as previous posters have stated, I highly doubt they will even bother reading through the entire email. They'll probably just look at it, have a good laugh, and toss it out. Keep in mind, if there is no…

@stgl1230 Yeah, I figured as much. Thing is, I'm not sure if they're automated emails...they look more like copy/paste emails. I'm assuming no school is going to retract an offer just because an applicant didn't make him or herself seem more inter…

It should be fine. As a rule of thumb: If what you have to say is 1.5 pages worthy, than 1.5 pages is fine. If you could be more concise and shorten it to a page, that would be ideal. That said, my diversity statement is about 1 1/4 pages, but, I'v…

Out of the 60+ tests that I have been exposed to, I don't think I have ever seen a double-negative in a question stem. That said, don't assume that there won't be one or a few on your test. The closest thing I've seen to an annoying, not-so-straig…

Most schools respond after they've received the bulk of their applications (2+ months from now, as already mentioned). I've heard back from 3 of my schools...~2 weeks after submitting my applications. If they REALLY like you, you'll probably hea…

None of those 3 points would make you look like a slacker...just be strategic with your wording. 1) You felt confident self-studying, but, after months of rigorous studying you realized that a more structured approach worked better (e.g. 7Sage). 2…

@SherryS1 said: I believe that it refers to how many letters of recommendation that individual would be writing on your behalf. This is correct. If you just want them to write you one LOR that you will use for all of your schools, request one. So…
-
@stgl1230 While I can't confirm this, I do believe stgl is correct. I read somewhere that law schools may judge you by your course-load and the difficulty of the courses you took. They can't to that unless they have access to the specific courses th…

Not at all. If he/she was comfortable writing you a LOR for your MBA program, I'm sure they wouldn't mind writing one for law school.

Any university library will do. I couldn't drive down to my alma mater because of the distance. So, I spent 3 months studying at a local university. Best thing is, they're usually open from 7:00 A.M. - 11:00 P.M.

I started off reading the stim. first...another prep company advised against reading the question stem prior to reading the stim...I realized they were wrong. Reading the question stem first allows you to narrow your "search scope" and helps you qu…

@Sami said: But I would not look at it as a way to spend time with him. Not gonna lie, I busted out laughing as soon as I read this. PLEASE don't use the LSAT as bonding time...learn from my mistake, haha. Your husband probably isn't the best s…

Hmm, that particular game was quite unique. @sweetsecret might be on to something. The painting game is similar, but certainly not identical.
-
Only those who took the actual test would know. It's unlikely they'd remember. If I had to guess, I'd say it was a substitution question...LSAC should just remove those from all games. Just sayin'
-
Yup, that would be the CAS. Just to piggyback off of what @stgl1230 said, you really should get it soon. It takes time for CAS to request and process your transcript. It only took them 2 days for mine, but I've heard of it taking longer for other pe…

That's not a huge mistake. Law schools probably understand that LSAC auto-fills some of the boxes on the apps using previous answers. Regardless, call the admissions office, and be upfront and honest. Something like, "Hi, I'd like to report an erro…

@"Alex Divine" Covered it all. Start taking practice tests when you feel that you have all of the fundamentals down. I took 2 or 3 per week...usually 2. If, after BRing a test, you feel that you're lacking in terms of the fundamentals, stop PTing.…

19-35: Relevant enough to drill. 36-38: Relevant enough to use as full-length practice tests.
-
@Mitzyyyy All of my recommenders knew me well prior to me asking for a LOR. So, they all knew why I was applying to law school. Had they not, I would have provided them with a 1-paragraph explanation as to why I want to practice law, a list of chara…
-
Most of mine have written a few law school recommendations, so, they knew what to do. For the others, I asked that they address it to "admission committee."
-
I'm with you! Well sort of. I'm just filling out the "basic" info that LSAC auto-fills for you - so technically...I'm just double-checking the info and hitting "submit." Can't wait for the essay portion (sarcasm clearly intended).
-
Of course it is. Just kill it on the LSAT. Also, keep in mind that law schools account for difficult majors. For instance, it's unlikely that they're going to treat the GPA of a theater major the same as they would the GPA of a bio major (sorry thea…

The LSAC states they will be released on Jan 4th. They could be released earlier, as @lsatblitz has indicated. However, don't expect them to be released before January.
