Of course though, then life happened, haha. I managed to mildly bomb the June LSAT last year and score 4 points lower than my first take. I then got really unsure about my whole decision on if I wanted to or should go to la…

Bumping this 2 year thread. Does anyone know if the KTCOOLS course still available? Does anyone know of a comparable/effective alternative?
It's still available last I checked. There are a few alternatives, but no one reall…
Rule of thumb: Only take the test if you believe you can get a good score. What does a good score mean? It means a score that you'll be satisfied with. No point taking a test you won't be prepared for, but also no need to delay if you are ready.

Here's the thing for me, while I did standard research, the thing I place some of the most value on is reviews by alumni and current students. You can find these on The Vault's website, or Above the Law, and other community resources like them. You …

Reading Like a Writer isn't a specific to LSAT book, and it has a more literary bent, but it's very well-written and interesting and uses examples from tons of real and famous books. I'd say it's very helpful for RC, in that it…
You have a pretty good plan, and that's really anyone can ask for when it comes to the LSAT. No one knows what score they'll ultimately be able to achieve.
For the courses, I believe I have some insight, since I did all of them twice. My conclusion…

@Bamboosprout I have already pretty much decided where I want to go and it is not USC. Better to let them know so they can reallocate funds.
Would you still have withdrawn if they were able to extend extra scholarship money…

@Bamboosprout Dang! Her reading list is amazing...thank you so much for sharing with me!
You're welcome. Congrats on going to your top law school

Seems about the same to me. It just depends on your back ground. If you have an arts/humanities background, this RC might be easier for you since it had no hard science passage. LR this t…

University of Massacshusetts School of Law
Awesome information. Thank you for sharing. Why did you withdraw your application for USC, though? Couldn't you have waited lon…
For me, budgeting in general for academics is to x2 the cost of schooling. So how much money you should have in your bank will depend on your scholarship, loan, and other cash sources.

How many times did you do each game when you foolprooed 1-35 in your original process? Foolproofing implies that you literally do games over and over (sometimes 10x) until you 100% master them. That also means if you fi…
I remember there was a really great post earlier in the year, but I can't find it. Someone shared their school's recommended reading list, and it was amazing (found it). You can try googling some top law schools' recommended reading list too.

One of my professors jokingly told us that he doesn't grade by throwing exams down a staircase because it wouldn't be fair. The papers at the top of the stack would slide farther.
Lol, implying that he thought a…

Glad to hear how you enjoyed the LSAT journey. It really is about the process, but of course, no one knows where to go, and we have to bump our heads a few times, but that's also a part of the process. I think a few things …

Thank you for sharing this . I needed to hear this: "I had to truly embrace that LSAT isn't worth getting upset, anxious, or depressed about, that law school was just one out of infinite options, and that if something was fate…

I wish I had enough to say to share things daily. I'm trying to share as much as I can right now, in case something else pops up in my life and takes up all of my time.

@Bamboosprout yes I know you had the best of intentions and were provided words that you hoped would bring comfort 💕 and they did!
I did take it. I saw your post btw, and proud of you, for learning from your mistakes. I h…

Your best bet is to search the discussion forums for similar posts in the past. I think questions like this get asked after every test, and some great responses are available if you search them up.

Thanks everyone for your kind words!!
@Bamboosprout I love your posts as always. For me, it wasn't necessarily about fear of failure (and I don't think you can 'fail' when you've worked so hard) but...well I'm still not en…

But it really depends. If you're already practicing 170+, then the approach would differ widely from someone practicing 150+. For anyone who hasn't broken through to the 160's, I believe the main problem with core …
