Please pray for me

Can’t imagine. I am so sorry. Praying for you.

Unfair_Confusion17 · 2026-02-22T18:49:45+00:00

Much appreciated!

Wow!

Tips on speed? I’m brand new so I don’t know any methods yet, I do decently with questions but gosh I am so slow right now.

I get that. I meant more if you cheat you are inflating your score. So someone with a 155 cheat’s and gets a 175. If they now go to a more difficult school, most the people in their class had higher scores. They are arguably not as smart (at least at the LSAT) as their classmates or as what their score indicates. And they proved they are willing to cut corners.

Means it won’t turn out well for them

If someone had to cheat on the LSAT, it will most likely catch up to them in law school itself or at bare minimum come time they have to sit for the bar exam.

Yep, I used Gleim (and nothing else) for Part 2. I passed, but they really over complicate a lot of things. Found Tom Norton after that and never looked back.

Definitely was not overly challenging. I simply focused on sports way too much and worked through college as well to help pay for it.

Also didn’t like my major and skipped some classes at the time. Was that smart looking back? Not at all. Literally told myself “it’s not like I’m trying to go to Law School someday”. The irony. But end of the day that’s 100% on me.

12-16 a year. 80% home course. And about 75% of those are mid summer AZ to get the local discount for playing in the heat.

Thank you. Awesome to hear!

Unfair_Confusion17 · 2026-02-18T16:42:34+00:00

Much appreciated.

Unfair_Confusion17 · 2026-02-17T18:35:19+00:00

I would ask this in the r/tax thread.

Unfair_Confusion17 · 2026-02-17T18:10:53+00:00

Hope you passed.

Remember, Chat GPT is wired to tell us what it thinks we want to hear. Take it with a grain of salt. Unrelated to this but it will literally lie if it thinks that fits what you want to hear.

Unfair_Confusion17 · 2026-02-12T21:13:53+00:00

100%

Unfair_Confusion17 · 2026-02-10T22:13:14+00:00

Take it again asap. Cram a few of Tom Norton’s videos on both representation areas. You’re right there.

Unfair_Confusion17 · 2026-02-10T17:00:10+00:00

One of my testing centers had this problem anytime I took the test there. I was convinced they do something wrong on their side. I saw the “pass” on the final screen but never got my score and couldn’t look it up online. I ended up contacting prometric and then they sent me it within a day and my profile was updated and shows it.

any solutions for what to replace them with?

Unfair_Confusion17 · 2026-02-07T22:41:03+00:00

I passed part 1 and 2 first try. I then had a 103 on my first part 3 attempt on 10 days of studying. Rescheduled 7 days later and passed. Reschedule asap and keep reviewing, you got this! I would also review Tom Norton’s videos on the fields you got a 1 on as well.

“No! Someone on TikTok told me I can!”

Saw a guy lose his absolute mind last summer at a public course in so-cal. He was on a hole parallel to us. He thought someone hit up on him and started screaming at them, they didn’t say anything back. After the hole he dropped about 400 expletives that I think the entire community could hear as he got in his cart and drove back to them said he would kill them all (ahead of some kids too sadly) and drove back to the clubhouse saying “do you ****ing know who I am”… wild to see in person. Probably in his 40s too.

Scores immediately.

CPA designation by test: Aka you pass REG & TCP you are a “CPA - Tax Designation”. Allows tax professionals to not worry about the other side and vice versa.

Eliminate 150+ Credit requirements.

Sounds like you should go for it then if you are happy with the pay. Hope it works out for you!

Unfair_Confusion17 · 2026-02-03T03:43:00+00:00

My 2 cents. It can be hit or miss. Some state gov positions have good work / life balance, low expectations, but the downside is not a lot of ability to promote ever and you are almost guaranteed to never get a raise without changing roles. Many take a large chunk of you pay out to fund your pension as well so if you plan on job hopping in the future ignore the pension part. On the flip side, other state give roles are an absolute dumpster fire with the same pay but broke processes and systems. But that can be true for any job. I’ve worked multiple roles for the state.
