anyone studying lsat in south korea? Forum

[rivermaker]

yeah didnt feel like gambling with scores, but I really want to know what I would have gotten

How was Yonsei? They better have tables and not those horrible fold out desks

Are the proctors efficient? Do they speak (proficient) English? I'm asking because I might have given up good testing conditions at Duksung for bad ones at Yonsei and I still have time to change, but I won't be ready until the February test anyway.

yeah, a cancel never feels good. It is however, much better than not cancelling. I messed up the June test pretty bad, for some reason though, I just couldn't bring myself to cancel. And now I've got a low score following me around. So... cheer up!

Problem is, I have trouble objectively judging this, as I ALWAYS think I fucked up royally, even if I DID feel good about it (if I feel good about it, I'm overconfident, if I feel shitty about it, I'm probably right-Murphy's Law ftw). Then a lot of the time I end up doing just fine (perhaps sometimes not as fine as I want). So how I feel coming out of the test or even a week after is not an accurate indicator of how I do.

Ugh, I wish I could walk into a starbucks and see 4-6 people studying for the LSAT....I've gotta be the only person within a 100 mile radius of Busan that's studying for the LSAT.

Oh and do they have tables or those horrible fold out desk things that are more like nightstands than actual desks?

[yoojin0319]

u taking the exam in seoul?

[motiontodismiss]

Why yes, of course. Where else would I fly off to, Japan? Are you taking the Feb LSAT?

And omg LSAT prep books are so expensive. Just added the 3 Atlas LSAT books to my shopping cart at kyobo.com, and it's like $140 altogether. Ridonculous.

[yoojin0319]

why waste so much money?
Korea is a 'copy' world..hahahahah no offense..to my country,,,but,,,u can buy a copy version of bascially ANY lsat book in kang nam.
do some research online. I"m sure there's a place where they sell one from Atlas lsat

can't you call lsac and ask if they could open a center at Busan? nope i'm taking the Dec LSAT

Meh, the airfare's only $130 and they want like $300 to open up an unpublished test center. Besides, I need a vacation from this place. Thought I'd take a day or two off work and spend them at Itaewon.

[rivermaker]

Where is this Duk Sun University? I guess it doesn't matter anymore, but the desks at Yonsei were awesome. Each person got 2 desks to work on. Proctors didn't speak good English, but got the job done. I'm still down for a weekend study group. Been saying this for like 3 months lets get it done.

[rivermaker]

Hey Yoojin how much are these copied books usually? Do you think they have Kaplan mastery?

[yoojin0319]

I'm not really sure about kaplan's books but the bibles were about 15000wonish
and preps are 1500won.
if you can read korean, Min's lsat have some great lsat books with explainations, and Hackers have some great lsat stuff too.
u guys have facebook?
lets keep in touch!!!!

[motiontodismiss]

Yes. PMing you the link.

I don't know if it's such a good idea to study for the LSAT in Korean though....I'm sticking with English material for now

I guess Kyobo is gonna make 60k won off of me today.

[rivermaker]

thats dirt cheap for the bibles..

[motiontodismiss]

thats dirt cheap for the bibles..

That's the difference between the Kyobo price and the Amazon price for the Atlas series. The total cost is 160k won.

By the way, for those who took the October test, most of the contents apparently came from the February 2005 LSAT:

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Past_LSAT_ ... _2005_LSAT

This test was bracketed by PT 45 (-12 curve) and PT 46 (-9 curve).

I guess there's no way to tell how the Feb curve in recent tests compares to the December and following June curves.

Wow, that looks like the exact same test, same games and reading comp anyway.

A Chinese friend of mine (my boss, actually) gave me a booklet of "undisclosed" February tests from the early 2000's mixed with other, disclosed tests. IT would have been pretty sweet if that had been one of them, but fortunately for the integrity of the LSAT, it wasn't.

When it's your boss, you don't typically say, "But it's illegal to have those!"

His son bought it somewhere in Beijing to use. It got him into UBC at least.
