canuckhooker 19203 Report post Posted September 3, 2010 Do as many practice tests as you can to know what they are going to be asking. You can find them online and in book stores etc. Most importantly, be relaxed. If you worry and stress out you will not do yourself any favours. I wrote mine in the morning after my 5 year University reunion, out all night drinking and then sleeping on my buddy's couch. I ended up in the 99th percentile. Of course then I chose not to go to law school. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Being comfortable so you can finish each module on time is the thing. The swimsuit is a great idea - would help eliminate local competition. If I had been sitting beside you I would have failed dismally. :jackoff: Good luck Amelia! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cara Silver 32412 Report post Posted September 6, 2010 Okay guys, thanks very much. I've practiced so much already but am seeing little improvement in the logic games section. Everything else is fine- reading comp, reasoning, writing sample- except these abominable logic questions. I've got nothing to lose by taking test but still. One likes to think one's IQ isn't terribly below average:) xoxo Amelia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kubrickfan 12836 Report post Posted September 6, 2010 Just a few suggestions from someone who has taken it and managed to get into a pretty decent law school (albeit many years ago): 1. Memorize the instructions for each section and jsut take a quick look to make sure nothing has changed. As the tests are timed, any time taken reading the intructions is time you can't spend on the questions. 2. Practice, practice, practice. I know you said you have taken the test a few times, but are you really paying attention to why one answer is right and the others wrong? 3. Read for comprehension, not speed. Law school is all about a careful analysis of words and phrases, and the meaning behind those phrases, not black and white "yes and no" questions and answers. Swimwuit would be best served using to practice test taking skills with your buddies here on cerb. ;>) Good luck! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LmaoPosted via Mobile Device Hurricane Emma: you can smother the lsat people with your enormous, delightful breasts! All other repliers: let's commission Emma to neutralize the entire law school admission council. Here is what I want to see on the lsat: If Hurricane Emma blows through the towns of Sadville, Sadside, Sadvalley, Sadhill, Sadmountain, and Sadtoseeyougo, how happy will they be? A. Very B. Happy ending C. Happy to be here D. Happy Birthday E. Gandhi Then maybe I would enjoy the lsat.... Thanks for all your replies! xoxo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
