The lsat is a learnable test. Utilizing 7sage program, the lsat trainer and LG bible from Powerscore can get you very far! I have gone from the low 140s to 160s in 6 months of full time study (5 to 7 hours a day). I would recommend that you go shado…

Debt is a serious issue though. So much so the American bar posted a blog post about it. http://www.americanbar.org/groups/litigation/committees/jiop/news_analysis/articles/spring2016-0616-dont-let-law-school-debt-overshadow-your-future.html North…

Like Alex mentioned, do the 7sage program, you should be good to go! Try to master the Logic Games section with perfect scores in that section, the rest kinda just flow after that. Tons of drills and practice test.. Recommend buying the three 10 a…

Pros *Some colleges have direct access where you don't even have to take the LSAT (I.E. Texas A&M) - May get into the school easier. *May know the Teachers well/get along well; They may assist you better. Considering you already goto a tier …

As most the other comments already mentioned, you have to work through step by step. LG is a tricky section - What has worked for me, you can perhaps try this: Purchase the 10 actuals lsat preptests from 42 on to 71 (3 books). On every logic game s…

Depends on what your goals after school are (As Eric already mentioned). You will most likely have to take out a loan for living expenses; I'd just take the full ride and use this time to study and get prepped for 1L; so you can keep a good class st…

LG is tricky! Grouping games are kicking my butt at the moment. Use the 7sage fool proof method of learning games and you will see a significant improvement after a couple months. Many of the games are the same situation, just mixed around but you…

@"akeegs92" Thanks for the info. Texas is hopping! Most definitely not planning on leaving anytime soon. What schools are you aiming towards? Texas A&M had a great tour and vibe - Not surprised they are improving. I went to one of their prospec…

Thanks Alex! It's been a battle to get to the 160s - I'll keep plugging along though! Checked out the link you sent. Baylor would be kinda a long shot with low 160s at having good $$ off. Wasn't really impressed with the school either when I toure…

I am a big sports guy. What I do to overcome the Lsat pressure is: I approach the lsat like a game. As Jknauf mentioned, slow and steady! Maybe you just had a bad day, week or month(s). Keep on grinding it out - You'll see the rewards eventually. S…

Hey Paulina and welcome! I'm kinda in the same boat, with purchasing just the starter program. What has worked for me, try to finish all the 7sage course work available before hitting up the question bank. During the week, maybe take a PT. For work…

Focus on the lsat - 3.78 gpa is good. I'd venture to say at least 60% of entry and tuition discount is based off the lsat alone. If your wanting a top law school, focus on on the lsat now and aim to get in the 170s. The rest is your self story/essa…

Depends on what level of proficiency you want. To me, three months is a myth. The assumption many people believe that taking a course from "xyz test prep company", is that they will be in the top 90% of the curve. The reality is that many traditiona…

LOL I think it was actually on the uk dailymail news website - but was in a recent cbs segment (queue the random link) - http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2017/01/17/birdwatching-soars-in-popularity-with-help-from-smartphone-apps/

Ornithology is the new thing nowadays, so I heard but study distractions stink! I have some pigeons on the roof of my apt building who like to make noise every afternoon too & downstairs a yipping little dog - very annoying! Occasionally, I use …

Skipping strategy is tricky. Here's a strategy that seems to be working for me. Perhaps give it a shot. *Right when I start the timer/start an LR section, with a highlighter (Your allowed to use those on test day.), I mark the numbers of question…
-
Uh not many opportunities, depends on your networking skills. Could probably do some paralegal stuff but most offices look for people with a paralegal certificate for that. Can always tell the lawyer/firm your looking to shadow and eventually plan …
-
Whoa @Shindavis16 - Horrible to see that you had such a bad experience & sleezball attorney. Did you report him to the bar? Wish you well on your studies and endeavors!! I'll clarify on this one.. LSAT is a HARD test. Hence why I'm using 7sage…
-
I say start the early application process, tour some schools, figure out what school appeals to you and write some personal statements. If you want to go to law school this year, your a little late for the early admissions money discount party; next…
-
Righton with taking the leap of faith and going all in with your studies! Putting in the effort of studying will pay off. Master the Logic games section.. all the other sections seem to fall into place!
-
Use a Highlighter! Highlight the Conclusions, conditional indicators, important stuff, ect. This has improved my focus a lot on prepping & scores - it's even allowed on test day. Don't underestimate the power of the highlighter.
-
@Colin1485 where did you get those numbers? powerscore's lsat guessing strategy - in the books and online. http://www.powerscore.com/lsat/help/guessing.cfm Not advocating guessing by any means but there are statistics out there suggesting …

Learning to skip time sinker questions is the best skill you can work on in LR - focus on your strengths, like assumption questions or main point. Time sinker questions suck your time and mental focus. Don't forget to play the percentages at the end…

Work a job at mckyds or a call center for awhile. That will motivate you to study harder. Like Alex said, Discipline. Get into a routine. ... or heck do what all the professional school kids do and pop the study peds!!

Not to be a dream killer or discredit your aspirations but reassess your goals. Do you really want to go to law school? Do you really want to be a lawyer? Are you willing to incur the debt and be in a profession where you may be coming out $200k in …

Having no information about your background, lsat score or recommendations - I'll take a stab at perhaps providing input. First, I would recommend to anyone reading - check out the Ivey guide to Law School Admissions. if you haven't read that book y…

This was your first test attempt? Cancel the test if you are confident that you can achieve a better score next time - chalk the first test as a test run and retake it in June. In the meantime do timed pretests (simulating the actual test) on the ru…
