I keep telling myself to ease up and let myself get a B or two this semester..."it doesn't matter, it won't affect your GPA that much, a 3.95 is still basically a 4.0" but then the aspie in me takes over LOL.

Re: SweetTort's Guide to the LSAT
This is what I did and I regret it. If you're not prepared, be 100% honest with yourself as to whether you want to risk wasting a take. Just a small piece of advice!dm1683 wrote:True.

Re: SweetTort's Guide to the LSAT
Just to add another piece of data fwiw -I really struggled with LSAT + full semester, but managed to do LSAT + full-time work over the summer. Good luck!

Also, copied everything SweetTort did in terms of studying and it served me very well 11/10 would recommend. Sweet's doing TLS a true service.

Re: SweetTort's Guide to the LSAT
I appreciate your candor. I'll see what my PT scores are in mid-April. If I'm not comfortably in the 170s by then I might just slow it down and work for September. I'm fortunate enough that LG is really my only glaring weakness (usually go -0 to -2 in LR and -2/-3 in RC) so maybe my trajectory will be different.Mikey wrote:This is what I did and I regret it.

Re: SweetTort's Guide to the LSAT
I really appreciate everyone's advice. I work stocking in retail though, on my feet all day long, so my summer job is really tiring (at least for me it is, I'm not that strong). Like I said, I'm gonna give it a shot in June unless I feel really bad about where I am two months out.Alexandros wrote:Just to add another piece of data fwiw -I really struggled with LSAT + full semester, but managed to do LSAT + full-time work over the summer.

Re: SweetTort's Guide to the LSAT
I think they count it as just a pass or something. I believe they look at that score as median or even slightly below median tbhSweetTort wrote:Do Canadian LSAT's even count?

Going t14 for free is a great goal to have from the outset.

Re: SweetTort's Guide to the LSAT
Fwiw I got what I believe to be the same LSAT score as Sweettort, and used the Powerscore books. Just... don't use Kaplan and use the basic plan as what he did. That is the biggest takeaway I think you can get from this guide.SweetTort wrote:I'd recommend the Manhattan books.
