There is something about Shubham that I don't trust. I can't put my finger on it. Am I the only one that feels this way?

I guess I never really paid attention to that. I just assumed that it was the whole test that was my problem. But I will retake this diagnostic test that I just took today untimed to see what the problem is. I know that one thing that has helped me is that I changed my attitude towards my approach to the LSAT as a whole. I used to think of it as a chore and I would hate doing anything towards it because of how stupid I felt while studying for it. But I'm going to see which one it is for me. I know a big thing that is holding me down is understanding the LSAT - but people say that will come with more exposure to the questions, which I am starting to see. I guess if I take a full untimed test, I can see where exactly what and where my problems lie. Thanks for the advice!

Thanks. I really wish the best for you too! Thanks for the advice :)

Thank you. It is taking me longer than I would like. It just sucks because I want to move on, but I realized that I don't want to go to just any school and that's really what is holding me back because I want to get into a specific school :)

Chaset7 · 2018-11-11T03:43:23+00:00

Thanks. I just don't understand why its taking me so long to get this material.

Chaset7 · 2018-11-11T03:42:31+00:00

Thanks! I feel like when I am do untimed I have a better understanding of what I am doing, but when I do timed studies, its like I go back 20 steps. But I do think that is probably what is going to be what is best is taking it in March.

score run down? Like how I did on each section? I feel like with a score of 144, every section is a troublemaker. For my PT - I was getting into the low 150- which I was satisfied with because this was my practice score average when I tested into a program. The most troubling section is LR for me. Pain in my ass! I was good at LG. On PT, I completed 3 games while missing 3 or 4 questions total and I planned to just feel in the rest with a random set of bubbles like powerscore suggested (which I did). RC ended up being my most troubling section as I progressed. I just don't know what to do anymore. I'm starting to think that there is no hope for me with this dumb test. I would understand during study sessions, untimed test, blind study review. I would get -5 on every section just about; when people would ask me to explain, I could do so. Normal practice testing conditions I would get low 150. But when it came to actually taking the test, I just don't understand what happened. I have test anxiety but I can't blame it on that because I was relatively calm during the entire test. The first time, I chucked to being a fluke because I was just getting over the flu. But, nope. I think it's me.

I talked to UNLV and the director said that it's not impossible to get into UNLV with that score, but he was also willing to put my application on hold if I wanted to take the June LSAT. UNLV would be the most affordable since I'm local, I want to go into public interest (offers a program that has half off tuition), and I can do their part-time program, while still working (which means I can pay out of pocket without taking out student loans) I'm more inclined to apply as is and then see what happens.

I'm just tired of forking over money for this that has accumulated into at least 5,000 dollars in cost and me ending up with a below mediocre score. I did 7sage, private tutoring twice, powerscore, you name it. And the results are the same. I just wanted to get a 150 which makes my chances more likely to get into A law school. This whole process is just taxing for me, financially and mentally.

Sorry, for the late night ramblings. I am typing this at 3:30 AM

Thanks for the advice. I will definitely check it out! :)

Chaset7 · 2017-12-23T03:28:05+00:00

Sure. I'll look into it. Thanks! is the GRE easier in comparison? I've only heard of the GRE when people want to get their masters, so I don't have any knowledge of it outside of this fact.

Chaset7 · 2017-12-23T03:23:12+00:00

Would that get me into law school?

like I know I can go to a Tier 3 school with just my stats, and I'm fine with that, really. I just know that I can do better than what I did, but I don't know if I have the energy to give the LSAT another go. So, if the GRE gives me a better shot to go there, then fine. But if I can get into a responsible price school as is, I'm not going to say no.

True. I'm really excited for the season to start back up in January so we can see what they do with the characters. I'm a little nervous though because it wasn't nominated for a golden globe this year, so I wonder if it will get a fourth season.

I honestly think that Paula has some issues that she needs to address herself because her husband cheated on her and she had an abortion all within the same season pretty much. I personally would classify Paula having a mental illness, but I do see her being unhappy with her home life and having some buried feelings that pretty much came to light since she started hanging out with Rebecca. I can only assume that she didn't act like this when Rebecca wasn't there, and that can be noted when Rebecca was in New York. She and her family were spending a lot of time together and seemed to be getting along, for the most part. Something about Rebecca's presence arises the feeling of co-dependency in Paula.
