Thanks for this post! I just recently posted about getting in and starting in the fall, but I love this community even though I'm mostly a lurker... I am hoping it works to do what others in similar threads have suggested and that is to look at law…

@gkoski said: Congratulations! Stories like yours inspire me! I've been out of school for eleven years and sometimes I doubt whether I can still do this. Congrats for a merit scholarship! Any more tips ?!!! My only other tip would be to own …

Thanks and @LCMama2017 - absolutely! DM me, I would LOVE to keep connected. The more support and the bigger the network the better! Good luck with the study slog. I was so sure I would be taking again in the fall, I'm still stunned I don't have to.

Definitely agree with all this advice, want to add a second voice for meditation, it has been a game changer for me. I have had anxiety / depression issues on and off and meditation has been able to provide me just a bit of space between the feeling…

@Emily2122 said: I live a few blocks from Seton Hall so I'll be taking the test there. Good luck! Like I said - once we all got in, it was a breeze. I was so happy and surprised that it was quiet and went so smoothly. Hoping they fix the lon…

Thank you - I love this!! Good luck all - we got this!

Hey there - I am 51 and sitting for the June LSAT and I would definitely agree with everyone that you're (we're!) not too old! I'm not making loads of applications at this point (just one hail mary app for fall 2018) but the one in-depth conversatio…

I second the Headspace app recommendation, there is a good one for Focus that has helped me a ton. Also I think being sure to get good rest and deep relaxation on your off time is also key to keeping the test stress at bay. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this Ins…

When I notice my mind being drifty in RC or LR, I push myself to visualize the text. I know this sounds obvious and something that is repeated often, but it truly does help. Even something like economics or government, you can figure out some little…

I totally share your stress... in fact, the other day I had the thought that these last four weeks are like when you hear "there are five minutes remaining" (ahhhh!!!!). When I feel like you describe, my strategy has been to re-orient myself to the…

Thanks @mimimimi for the inspiring and encouraging post! Happy to hear that the perspective that comes with age helps with the stress (as I have plenty of age to go around And I appreciate your encouragement to join student organizations and get in…

@"Leah M B" said: That same cost would have been $895 for last year, making this a roughly 14% increase in cost. That is a crazy amount. I was frustrated that the test center/date change fees were $100 last year, $125 is nuts. Particularly t…

I would also suggest trying to visualize what you read. As simple as that sounds, it can help with the brain fog that for me is what would cause me to read and re-read to figure things out. To be sure, my visualizations are inexact but it's enough t…

Wow this is a brilliant idea... thank you thank you thank you. I have a 4 hour drive tomorrow and am dropping some things in my Audible cart right now.

I use Headspace (premium) regularly and I really like it. I had been meditating prior to the LSAT studying but not consistently. I meditate daily now, just 15 minutes or so and sometimes again in the evening if I am having trouble sleeping. I find …

I love this thread And I hate anything bio related in RC and for no good reason at all - they just intimidate me having never really studied nor had any interest in it since high school. Totally agree on riddled basins too, yuck.
-
I can totally relate to the focus/exhaustion thing and agree with all the above. I would also definitely recommend breaking down your study sessions so that you give yourself a reward after 35-45 minutes. I usually get up and get a cup of tea or a p…

I would say yes, since the TV show host's opinion is that TV is NOT the cause of the moral decline, either by inviting guests (-- or bad talk show hosts or violence on dramas or whatever --) these reasons are secondary since his point is they are w…

Also, to answer your actual question - no! not that I've ever heard anyway (call to service being a negative)...
-
Wow this is super encouraging and helpful - many thanks!

I am in no way a seasoned LS applicant, still being early in this game, but I'm also a later-in-life applicant coming to this with the same desire to serve under-served communities through law. I have also seen all the warnings about not explicitly …

Thank you all so much! I really appreciate the feedback and have added a few things to my list, particularly the student vibe (collaborative vs. cut throat) as well professor accessibility. The school I'm visiting is 'on paper' the best fit for me (…

I also bubble in sections -- which I agree keeps me in the zone and more focused overall. Can I ask a related question regarding what everyone does with skipped questions? Fill in a random choice and change later or leave blank and fill in at the en…

Very happy to see this post! I am also a career changer and soon to be empty-nester. Like the OP, I am thinking of possibly Sept. 2018 but would be fine with 2019 too. Rutgers has a cut-off date of mid-July so if I feel good about my PT's and test i…

Thanks for bumping this up @LCMama2017 - super helpful!

I'm not taking until June, but this has been my most difficult issue - panicking on LG like you are describing. I am getting better by simply realizing that I am panicking (thank you meditation practice) and recognizing that THAT is the skill I need…
