After the proctor read the standard "how to take the LSAT" speech, he asked if there were any questions. Some jackass raised his hand and asked if any of it was going to be on the test.
That jackass was me. A few people laughed, including the pro…

Hey guys,
I just took the LSAT in Asia. I had two RC sections and I’m trying to identify which one was experimental.
Did any one of you who took the test in Asia have a passage on George Balanchine (baller choreograp…
Kate Li would be very stupid if she doesn't take my advice.
Seriously, sell out to the "fake news" media. An election campaign lasts a year or two. A career lasts a year or thirty.
And for the love of baby Jesus, do not go Info Wars on us.

Get out of your head, it's a bad neighborhood. Go out, spend time with loved ones, do something not LSAT related. Get the hell off law school/LSAT forums. Study for your actual college finals, immerse yourself in somethi…

Also, while the post above mentioned some real situations that some lawyers face regarding work life balance, I wouldn't let that completely scare you off. I have met lawyers who worked for smaller firms specifically for the…
I'm one of the head paralegals where I work. While not a lawyer myself, I work alongside them daily. I've seen my boss cry real tears because he was stuck at work while his daughter was performing at a dance recital. That's my most recent example…
Here are some things that have worked for me:
Focus
First, identify what distracts you. Keep a note pad next to you with a pen that is only used for writing distractions. If/when something distracts you, no matter how small, write it down and then…

Following up on this, have you improved since this post? If so, which method worked best for you?
I have broken the 150 barrier, but it required A LOT of trial and error.
I used everyone's advice. The advice is solid,…

How do you join this? And, what if you don't have access to PT 27? Do I have to buy it to participate? Thanks!
Here's how:

I got the right answer, but I feel that the the Green-White House rule needs to say, "The Green House is on the immediate left of the White House." The way it is written now can be interpreted as the Green House just needs to simply come before the…

it sounds like you are stuck in a bit a rut... all of the advice you've gotten here is good, but i think you would benefit from a bit of a shift in your focus. stop worrying about your score on your timed PT …
@"Cant Get Right" said:
What are your BR scores?
On average, they're about 9 points higher than my timed score. This is mainly due to being able to get all the games in that I missed, and check the reading comps that I didn't understand.

I'm not really in a position to give people advice (since I'm struggling to improve my score too) but I went from -10 to -1 (or -0) in LG after doing LG Bundle.

@"Bevs ScooterMinion" said:
So it sounds like you're BR-ing well. But if you're doing it twice, the logical should follow that there would be even more improvement than doing it just once. So there still might be an element missing in your B…
@"Bevs ScooterMinion" said:
Are you BR-ing with a clean copy of the PT?
You say you do BR THEN do a comprehensive review. However, BR IS the comprehensive review. BR on each PT is meant to take a long time--some (like me) take 1 week pe…

Can you post more info? What are your scores averaging for each section?
Averaging over the past five tests, I've gotten 13 wrong on LG, 12.6 wrong on CR, and 10.6 wrong per section of LR.
I would say LG is my worst section, m…

Wow, no public law school @"H O Thomas" ? There may very well be too many law schools, but not having one in your state doesn't seem good.
Meet Widener Law Delaware.

The only law school in my state is projected to close its doors within five years unless they change their model.
It's a private-run law school that's been ranked as one of the top 50 worst law schools in America.
In my mind, there really isn't a Plan B. I need to be more than what I am now. I can't be satisfied with just being a paralegal when I know that I can be a lawyer. I wont be satisfied with my life unless I've achieved the maximum I can possibly b…

@runiggyrun I don't think I'm too smart. I just did the work. The only reason why my grade is a 3.92 is because one of my teachers said I didn't deserve an A, so he gave me an A-.
