Looks good to me

You can get 1-38 as PDFs on the Cambridge site for 77 for the problem sets. It'll get you more material and save you a few bucks shipping which you will then spend printing.

I don't think so.

Meant just the LR... Probably 140 for all three. Still not a bad deal.

Is this a normal amount of money to be spending on LSAT prep materials? I'm ready to click buy, but I've never spent this much money on books! I'm also going to have to pay like $40 for shipping because I don't live in America.

I also need to make my decision pretty soon because I'm hoping to start studying next month. I want to take the February test and have about 4-5 months for part time study. (Hint: I'm looking for you to say yes!)

Is it a normal amount in general? No way. But a normal score is in the 150s.

Is it a normal amount for high scorers? Yes.

Keep in mind that many who dont take the test seriously still blow a grand or more on a class that never gets them close to their ceiling.

175 cold? Way to make me feel like crap, I just got my first 175 after 2 months of studying .

Also, I guess if I'm considering dropping ~$200,000 on law school, this isn't too much!

I'm really sorry bro; I'm not trying to make you feel like crap. If it makes you feel any better:

1. The cold diag probably doesn't mean much. I don't think I could get this score consistently at this point.
2. As you can see from this thread, I'm still about to put in as much time and effort into studying as anybody else.
3. It probably has a lot to do with my educational background (B.A. Philosophy & Mathematics, MSc. Logic).

I heard one guy say they got a really good deal on some practice tests at thepirate.org or was it bay.se?? I think it was something like that.

[NoodleyOne]

I hear similar things but I don't think it's kosher to talk about.

Lol, it's hilarious that you characterize it as a "good deal." Thanks for the tip - but I'm pretty sure TLS doesn't want this type of discussion on their message board!
