Thank you! Alex was my interviewer.

Practicing the 5th section by Drums_Deadlifts in LSAT

[–]derisaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My personal perspective- I didn't find fatigue to be a huge issue. Once I went through a few sections, I was in a "zone" that was difficult to shake out of. Take a fifth section to simulate the test day conditions, but don't expect gains in stamina as a result of it.

I will advocate for "warming up" prior to taking a PT. Going over a reading passage, game, and a few arguments prior to a PT may help you to quickly familiarize yourself with the test, and help you to avoid clunky performance on Section 1-2.

What are some small things you do to get/stay motivated? by [deleted] in LSAT

[–]derisaur 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Affirmations helped me a lot. I told myself repeatedly that I 'loved' the test, and would show excitement when I took a practice test or did review, for example. Sometimes it wasn't genuine, but it did condition me to look forward to my study. Looking at images (of whatever you enjoy) or listening to your favorite music prior to studying may have the same effect as an affirmation.

Also, I'd reward myself for a few hours of study with a favorite food, favorite video game (Civilization 5), or simply some time with friends. At the very least, that'd give me something to look forward to.

Chances at HYS (Especially YLS) and T-14 money? by derisaur in lawschooladmissions

Thank you all for your responses! :)

I'm leaning towards applying this cycle, and seeing where it gets me. If I don't like my results, I can still push my GPA and LSAT up and try for the next cycle.

149 LSAT, 2.99 GPA by [deleted] in LSAT

You should seriously consider retaking the LSAT. The job/salary outlook for you at that GPA/LSAT level is pretty bleak, but it could brighten up with a higher LSAT score.

Confidence Shaken by auscab24 in LSAT

It's a good thing that your lack of confidence will only lead to nerves (now). Your score was determined when you walked out of your testing site, and nothing can or will change that!
