@andrewpete93 I am experiencing the exact same thing right now! I stumbled upon this article a month before the test, and I thought "Now how true could any of that be?" Turns out it's spot on... http://online.wsj.com/public/resources/documents/prin…

Hi @tn7sager. First of all, a 6 point increase from your diagnostic to your first PT post-CC is nothing to scoff at! I scored exactly the same score on both of mine... A 170 BR score is impressive at this early stage of your studies. The big gap be…

@missions said: @Freddy_D and @Zachary_P thanks so much for your input guys! I am a huge "lurker" and prefer to keep to myself in terms of studies, so that's why I don't really post that much on the forums! Ha! That's one way to use it thoug…

Hi @missions. I think it would be an okay idea to skip these for now, but definitely don't forget they exist. As you move into the PT phase of your studies, you are far from finished with the core curriculum. Use your analytics page to identify weak…

Love the approach from @"Daniel.Sieradzki." In terms of "knowing" that it's the experimental section, I don't know if that matters as much as we think it might. There was a recent thread on here about how the LSAT is all about exposure in the end. O…

@LSATcantwin I was (and to some degree still am) in the same boat. I've come a long way on RC, but when I miss a question, the odds that its an "InferAuthorPersp" question is high. Since I haven't totally mastered these types of questions - RC is my…

I don't know of anyone personally who has founded their own criminal defense firm right out of school, but I can make a suggestion for a good place to start. I've interned with both the state and federal public defender, and both offer great opportu…

Hi @Going2lawlschool, so you're actually not alone here. I would venture to guess that the reason you're missing the last questions is simply because these questions are more difficult. Especially on the older PT's, the LSAT would start out easy wit…

Not quite. Rarely, a MBT question will simply ask us to restate something that's given in the stimulus, whether as a conditional statement or as its contrapositive. Most of the time, however, we'll be asked to make an inference to support the AC tha…

@extramedium said: @LSATcantwin said: Is there a list of all the NA questions from every test that I can find somewhere? It won't be every test because you have the Starter package, but you should definitely utilize the questi…

Yes, it's a little bit both. Some come from lesser known academic journals and some are written specifically for the test. The original works are formatted and edited for clarity so that RC questions with absolute right/wrong answers can be construc…

I can definitely attest to the truth of this! By the time I was taking the actual LSAT, it felt like I had already done it a million times... Because I had... 27 times... But seriously. It was a major confidence booster and de-stresser on actual te…

First of all, congrats on achieving such high scores for just starting the PT phase of things. Drastic score fluctuations are a pretty normal phenomenon once you begin taking full timed tests as far as I can tell. My scores did the exact same thing.…

Per the agreement we signed before we took the test, it probably isn't the best idea to share information like this. LSAC monitors discussion forums like this one, and I would hate for you or anyone else to get in trouble for obviously violating the…

I do a few things. I would often, and still do, think about the end goal: being a lawyer. The opportunity to represent a client or argue in front of a judge or write an awesome contract motivates me because I know that's why I'm putting in the work …

@emichael said: @Zachary_P Is that included in the $15 admission course, or a different one? Thank you for linking it! Hmmm I have Ultimate+ so I see it as part of my course offering. Maybe @"Dillon A. Wright" could answer your question?

Hey @rajanjc92 I'm also interested in applying to Wash U. I found this on their website: "All applicants must submit a personal statement, approximately 2-3 pages in length. Successful applicants have written about significant experiences and sourc…

As was said by some others above, it took me about 2.5 - 3 months to get through the CC as well. My first PT post-CC I scored exactly one point higher than my diagnostic test. One point. I was a bit discouraged, but then I read too many forum thread…

@"Alex Divine" said: @Zachary_P said: Hello friends. So now that the LSAT is behind me, I'm starting to think ahead to all things admissions. I'm hoping to have scored well enough to give HYC a shot (nothing against Stanford in par…

@Freddy_D said: I can't offer you much advice about the Yale 250; however, I definitely would not pick stuff out of your previously published work. That would be self-plagiarism. That's a good point that I overlooked. Thanks.

@Freddy_D said: You are further along in the study process than I am, so I am not sure I am the best source; however, I believe @"Cant Get Right" has a much lauded post-curriculum study plan that could be very helpful in your case. He can chim…

@theLSATdreamer said: wait so whats the rule? is the 2 year rule still in affect? i tried googling did not get a clear response. Unlimited takes starting in September. Also, the LSAT will be offered 6 times instead of 4 for the 2018-19 cycle…

Hello! Tell us a little more about how your preparations have gone thus far. How far away are you, on average, from scoring your desired score when you PT? What does your blind review process look like? What are your strengths and weaknesses? Witho…

Also, if you look up a school's ABA 509 report, at the bottom of the report it lists how many and from what schools their transfers came for the previous year. This could be helpful information as you think about 1) where you go for your first year …

I took 27 PT's before taking the June 2017 LSAT. At first my scores would fluctuate drastically test to test, but over the last 10 I finally consistently scored an average that I would be glad to score on the actual exam. I started off PTing from #…

I'm sure it differs by testing site, but at mine they quickly scanned my ticket, my passport, and me and handed it right back to me. Took about 3 seconds. I even grew my hair out to match the picture on my ticket for fear of being turned away for no…
