@LanaKane, thanks for your insight. I know some docs that had children while in residency, and I was always dumbfounded how they juggled such a demanding work schedule and family. It definitely helps to have a supportive spouse as you know better th…
@axjxmarvel, I will not be working while in law school. However, I may consider a part-time program to help with the baby. We have not yet figured out the childcare situation either. At times, that aspect makes me very anxious, and other times I'm j…
31 years old and will very soon be a father. Finishing up my applications this month to being law school in fall of 2020. Any other parents up in here?
Besides relaxing and enjoying some good reads, what are some other ways you prepared for law school as a 0L? Did you read any law related books to provide you with a primer of sorts before starting school? What would you suggest?
Thanks in advance,…
I took all my practice exams on my desktop, so the difference in screen size was most noticeable as I was taking the real thing. Screen touch was also new as I was used to a mouse. I would suggest taking a few PTs on a tablet if you have one, but if…
@iamcardibri, I feel your pain. I too have been studying for about 2 years and have relied on LG as my saving grace. I had to guess on way too many for this LG section. I'm gonna wait for my score then consider retaking, but I'm not quite sure if I …
As others have mentioned, that LG section was brutal and totally caught me off guard. That first game was especially time consuming and a bit hard for a typical first game. Second game seemed more manageable but still tricky. That flowers game... de…

You need to find the patterns in what you get wrong. If you are falling for common mistakes, such as misreading or getting the opposite answers, then you need to make note of that. Go over your last 5 PTs and analyze the mista…

Hi @Ignatius! It sounds like you really are working hard! I had to come look at the forums just now because I wanted to see if I'm cracking. We have similar study methods and diagnostic: 151 and I was hitting high150s in PTs…

Hey there -- I totally understand the stress and the frustration of feeling like you're not improving. I think most everyone else here as given you some solid advice so I don't have much to add. But I wonder if you mig…

@Ignatius Actually, our stories are damned near identical, give a point or two here and there. My BR is going up and up, but my timed PT scores are not going up as fast. I've been in a rut lately. I know part of that is e…
@anonclsstudent , my diagnostic was a 151. You're right, taking the average score from all PTs is a bit misleading. My average for my last five PTs is a 157, so I have improved, just not at the pace that I'd like. I think maybe focusing more on ti…
@NotMyName, In regard to BR, I follow the 7sage method. I circle questions that I'm not 100% confident on, this includes circling questions that I'm unsure why the wrong answer choices are incorrect. I do this for LR, RC, and LG. After I take a PT, …
@Ohnoeshalpme , thanks for your response. I have not done many confidence drills, so I will start implementing more of them in my studying. I do notice that I circle a lot of questions during PTs, a possible indication that I'm still not confident i…
For when the LSAT makes me angry, Power Trip.
For when the LSAT makes me nostalgic for my middle school salad days, ATDI.
For when the LSAT makes me proud of my roots, Ramon Ayala y Sus Bravos del Norte and, of course, Selena.
For when the LSAT…
Your post really hits home for me. My wife and I are both 30 and planning on having kids within the next year.That means there's a good chance I'll be a father once I start law school. We're both insanely busy at the moment. My wife currently works …
Yeah, I've had to refrain from reading ATL due to its pessimistic undertones. It just wasn't helping with my overall attitude as I'm studying for this exam. Although, they do have some insightful articles about the legal field, and it has definitely…
I can't read. jk. I've been wanting to read Pimp since watching that Chappelle standup. I just started reading Blindness by Jose Saramago. It's translated from Portuguese and follows a group that has been quarantined after an epidemic of blindness t…
