Not sure if this is the ideal way, but I just make three staples on the left sides. Feels close enough to the real thing to me.
-
@UsernameChange Exactly this! The only concern anyone should have is for test center availability. I assume seats are generally less-filled on February, but you should still look into it, maybe contact the test center.
-
I'm spending it making a pros and cons list for Yale, Harvard, Stanford, Full-ride Columbia, Chicago, and NYU, fully knowing it will soon become a useless file.
-
Both @"Nicole Hopkins" and @GordonBombay hit it right on the money with the correct answers, so I'll pitch in with my biased personal opinion. If I was set on biglaw (I am), I would go to the lower T14. However, it's important to consider that while…

Could it be possible that LSAC may make their replacement test on January 9th a little easier to make up for it?
-
GSU is right, except for a few number of schools that don't require LORs (Berkeley is the only one that comes to mind). In that case, your application will be completed and possibly put under review. If you know you'd like your LORs to be a part of …

Nooo. Clicked into this discussion expecting a "today" by Mike Spivey
-
Yes, try and train yourself to make that a habit, preferably through timed lr sections, not PTs.
-
JY's extremely helpful yet casual and playful lectures and explanations.
-
For the longest time, I read the stimulus over and over again, and so I always had difficulties finishing LR sections. I saw a dramatic improvement with timing when I decided to just read the stimulus once, eliminate obvious wrong answer choices, th…

@sarahfatima28 I am with you in what you're trying to say, and I'm only half-jokingly pointing this out, but "very high possibility that you can score a 180" is just a tad bit strong. I would not say that to anyone. But I agree with the spirit of yo…

I strongly suggest waiting for June. Unless you have an overwhelming reason to apply this cycle, applying in June makes more sense in so many levels. 1) Your diagnostic (not a true diagnostic but close enough) is much better than most students, even…
-
@megsvyas Hi, I don't think I'll be taking the June exam, unless I really under performed on my December test (unfortunately, a true possibility). But it would be easier for you to find someone if you provide more information about yourself, like ho…
-
@MrSamIam To your original question on what advantage sitting in June gives you. I'd say applying earlier gives you a very small advantage if everything else is the same. However, if waiting for October would have any positive impact on your test (i…

@Sheri123 Like Pacifico said, HYS only gives need-based aid. This is a big reason why some HYS admits with 175+ LSATS will choose CCN. CCN near-full ride is very tempting vs. HYS full cost.
-
@gs556 Not my post, but was just wondering, did your PS contain any "why law" component to it? I've already finished my PS and I really like it, but it's got no mention of law or law school. That works for most schools, but not for a selective few.
-
I'd be willing to help as well, if you need a second (or third) eye.
-
@Sheri123 Yes, I believe that's how most of us get it. The other option would be to contact the specific schools and ask for it. Many schools are receptive to such solicitations. @splitterhopeful absolutely! No matter what your score is, you will r…
-
Yes, I always read the question stem first. My reasoning is very similar to that of @"Alex Short" , I like to go into the stimulus knowing what I'm looking for. Once you go through so much of the LSAT questions, you generally have an understanding o…
-
Also, if you are rewriting, June will give you plenty of time. In choosing between June or October, something that I don't hear often emphasized but I think is actually a big factor may be your usual prep times. If you usually study in the afternoon…
-
If you are able and willing, I think the ultimate package is the way to go. I say that because RC, LR, then LG seems to be the order for your needed area of improvements. the ultimate will give you access to video explanations for the latest tests, …
-
@mtabe004 First of all, I agree with @Pacifico and his advice, but in the end, I think that's your call to make. I'll just answer your question to my best knowledge. Most school's will accept your February scores for this cycle. Even the few that sa…
-
If your December score is good enough to get an acceptance letter, then yes, a better February test score can be used for scholarship negotiations. If your December score does not put you in a comfortable spot, then you run the risk of an early reje…
-
I've seen discussions about how the "fake" sections can be identified, but I would steer away from actually attempting to do so. The LSAT is difficult enough with all your mind focused on the questions, the last thing you need is one more thing to t…
-
@JayP0352 Someone else should verify this, but I remember JY mentioning some time later in December. So, I'm guessing no.
-
@"Mike Stone" What area of law do you want to practice? If you are thinking big law, and T-14 is out of the question, then region will matter. So you will have to do some research to at least have an idea of where you want to work before making the …
-
If you have a regional preference for employment after law school, rankings become much less important, and respective job placements, alumni networks, and regional reputation becomes much more critical.
-
@"Mike Stone" Which one you take more seriously is up to you to decide after looking into their methodology. But the USNWR is by and large the standard for law school rankings. That being said, ATL emphasizes employment numbers and takes into accoun…
-
How about the question? OP may not have presented it too well, but the question is actually a good one for discussion. After seeing so much of the LSAT, is it a good indicator of anything? Is the inherent problem in the test or the weight given by a…

As a sports fanatic, I personally hate that I can no longer defy logic in arguing for my favorite teams/players. Also, the necessary/sufficient condition, something I never thought about pre-LSAT, is something I seem to subconsciously apply to ever…
