The lack of scrap paper was not practiced for well by me.

I was not prepared for this either. I'd love to have seen the look on my face when I found this out.

Ooookay, med vs. law hate.

Let's not do this one.

Anyway, I quit school to play poker. Better? :-\

Re: The LSAT
 

I bought a book of 10 real LSATs and took spread out about 2 months before the test. On the actual test I did not do as well as I did on the practice tests or as well as I did on the SATs. I think the main problem was that I was kind of out of practice with taking multiple choice tests under real test taking conditions. So I'd reccommend taking a couple of pratice test like they are real tests.

How was it?
How many times did you take it?
Roughly how many hours did you prepare?
Did you do better or worse than expected?

Re: The LSAT
 

I'm a junior now, so I have to start studying like hell for it so I can get into the new "HARVARD IN SPACE". For the guys that took a prep course, is it really worth the $1200-1600? I only took two or three practice tests and the difficulty was a huge surprise; I don't think I even got to the end of the second game before I ran out of time (I timed myself in a library). Obviously I need to get a higher score so I can rule all of you like a God. What would be the best way to prepare?

Re: The LSAT
 

I took a practice test once, and got a 165. Would you guys still recommend me taking practice courses?

I ended up only taking one practice test, and made the same on that one as I did on the real thing. BTW, law school seems really intense, I'm nervous.

Seriously though, just make sure you go to class and keep up in the reading. If a prof makes you look like a jerkoff, just shrug it off, you're not the first and won't be the last. Making friends is important for many reasons; don't overlook this.

1. Took it once and this is all you should be taking, unless you absolutely bomb. Most schools avg. the scores and it is not worth doing again. Do it once and do it right.

2. I didn't find the test too hard after taking a prep course. I HIGHLY recommend Testmasters. www.testmasters180.com Take it and you will be happy. It has helped everyone i know tremendously, including two 180s. And if you think the cost is a lot, then you will be in for a shock for the price of law school. Paying a thousand bucks or so is NOTHING compared to how much future earnings you get from going to the class and doing well on the test.

Morever, doing well on the test may not only get you into a better school but can get you scholarships as well.

Take the class and do all the work that is assigned. However long it takes. Probably about 2-3 hours a day.

Just do it, you will thank me later.


Good luck!
