    11 days and counting until the LSAT

    And I can officially say "Logic puzzles suck ***."

    You know what? I don't CARE where Hillary sits on the bus. Or is ranked in a lineup of tapeworms. Or whatever.

    Grrr.

    Re: 11 days and counting until the LSAT

    When I took the LSAT, I didn't really prepare, and had to get there on a dead sprint because they scheduled the LSAT on Game day directly adjacent to Memorial Stadium and I had to park 3/4 of mile away illegally. In spite of this I still posted an excellent score. However, the fact that I really didn't give a **** about being a lawyer, probably should have tipped me off that going to Law School was the wrong choice for me. However, the actual LSAT itself flew by once I was in there.

    Sounds like the multistate test the first day of the bar. Not enough freakin time, too many questions narrowed down to two possibilities.

    Many law schools give out schollys based on LSAT scores (not just admissions). Thus, it could very profitable to take a prep class.

    Well, on the practice tests I'm consistently getting only one or two wrong total on the reading comp and the logical analysis. It's just the dang logic puzzles. I'm consistently getting one wrong in every set. Rarely two, rarely none.

    So I'm working my way through every logic puzzle prep book I can find. I've noticed that I am getting gradually better at them, and I'm getting a TON faster as I learn the diagramming techniques.

    Hey, whatever works for you is great. My ex who took the prep class scored high enough to get Harvard Law School to foot some of the bill. She said that prep class really helped her out in scoring higher. FWIW.

    Re: 11 days and counting until the LSAT

    Well, it's also kind of too late for a prep class.

    I dunno, I've never taken a test prep class in my life. In fact, this is the first time I've ever done any kind of test prep at all for a standardized test.

    Most everyone blows on those logic puzzles. Face it, if we could do math and stuff, most lawyers would have gone to medical school. There, I said it. I admit it.

    Instead, I make my living keeping doctors from losing their estates when some nimcompoop sues them because he can't pee straight after having a 10 pound tumor removed from his lower abdomen.

    Awe, c'mon. Learn to do truth tables. I mean really understand it and all those questions end up being simple equations.

    Good luck chunky!

    Re: 11 days and counting until the LSAT

    Been over 30 years since I took the LSAT. I used the prep books but not the class. Scored extremely well. Just relax and realize that you have a good job so it isn't like your well being is contingent on this test. You will do fine. Oh yeah, Homey is right. NOBODY does well on the logic puzzles - not even the guys who come up with them.

    Weird, I always rocked the logic stuff and hated the narrative/reading comp stuff....must be the CPA in me.

    I feel for you Homey, I did some medmal defense in addition to tax and corporate early on and it is.....umm....interesting work.

    Re: 11 days and counting until the LSAT

    i used to teach classes for the Princeton Review for the SAT, GRE, and GMAT.

    the key to the logic puzzles is to spatialize them with diagrams. like sets....if G can plant red flowers next to yellow flowers and yellow flowers next to white flowers...draw circles.
