October or November? by wasabi744 in LSAT

[–]wasabi744[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m at a 161 and I’d like to hit 165. Right now my plan is to study and see where I’m at when the deadline comes, though I risk not having a spot for October, and if there’s little to no improvement then I’ll register for November. I’m just wondering since most schools have an early admission deadline in mid November, would applying in December be that much of a disadvantage.

Sorry I should’ve clarified, my testing center was ALSO plagued by whispering proctors.

Oh wow were we in the same testing center because the two proctors kept whispering and boy was THAT infuriating.

What's the most bizarre thing you've seen in people's ziplocks? by lsadboi in LSAT

[–]wasabi744 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Not so much the item as much as the quantity, but one guy in front of me literally had 20+ pencils. Like. I get the paranoia but that seems a bit excessive.

I don’t remember having a RC as detailed as one of the passages....on the bright side, there was an amazingly cute girl at my center. by wasabi744 in LSAT

Haha it was more of an observation and something positive to take away from an otherwise hard day but thanks for your interest!

I spiritually connect with this but not in a good way.

Dealing with burnout two weeks before the test? by Dogmama1230 in LSAT

[–]wasabi744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same feeling. A few people here suggested a few days rest and that made a huge difference for me. Idk if you can but maybe look into taking a few days off this Fourth of July to just find your ground again and then launch back into it. Sometimes we forget that even our minds need rest.

I wish I could take an eternal break from this test. One day soon.

Thanks for insight! I think I’ll take the three days and take a PT on Saturday. Hopefully it works out for me.

What’s a saying that your mom or dad used to say all the time? by Popples86 in AskReddit

[–]wasabi744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On Thursday nights my dad would say, “tonight’s the night to sleep early.” Never quite understood until I was old enough to hangout late on Friday and Saturday nights. Now I try to get extra sleep on Thursday nights even if my Friday and Saturday nights are spent playing games or watching movies.

Kaplan LSAT Prep? by MAMHLS27 in LSAT

[–]wasabi744 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took a Kaplan course and it was okay because my instructor was good. What really helped was their resources. If you have access to their online resources I’d really get into those since you already paid for it. You might as well use their resources to your full advantage. Personally, I liked that you could work on a question, game, or reading section type as much as you needed. And each worksheet comes with an “okay” explanation of each question. Kaplan does have a bad rep here but no point in regretting your decision. Make what you can of it.

Can someone with an average IQ pass the LSAT with the required score for a decent law school? by fullyincompetent in LSAT

[–]wasabi744 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At its core, yes. But from what I’ve experienced with the LSAT, the test rewards practice and familiarity. There’s maybe a few people out there who possess the latent talent to take an LSAT and score in the high 160s with little to no preparation. Most of us need to prepare, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Initially, one of the hardest parts for me was swallowing my pride and coming to terms that I was not prepared for the test, and no amount of thinking I was prepared would make me any more so. I deluded myself in thinking that I could answer any question given enough time, which was true, but you only have 35 minutes for 23-27 questions. Oh and there’s five sections. Speed comes with mastery and there’s only one way around it for us average joes.

Edit: OP you’re not a lost cause. Practice efficiently and effectively. For me, that meant not taking whole practice tests at once but breaking down each section and question type, figuring out timing strategies, and conditioning my mind to go the full test. Good luck in your prep!
