Tbh I'm really excited about the option of spending 3 more years in dorms if i go to Harvard.

aren't the on-campus options for law students just apartments?? I hate dorms.

The Gropius complex seems dorm-ish, tho idk if they meet the technical definition of dorms.

Also, they have RA jobs, so that could cut 18k off my debt.

[Alexandros]

Test center just changed. Now it's at my uni. What even.

it changed on its own???

Got an email saying LSAT Test Center Reporting Address Change and the ticket now says a different address.
I like that it's much closer, so I won't have to cab. But also I'm worried it's gonna change again and I don't like not knowing what's going on. It's changed day-of in the past which makes me nervous.

I feel like going back to dorms after being in apartment for 4 or so years would feel weird af. Though job to cut off the debt would be a huge plus.

I'm currently an RA, so I wouldn't mind a few more years of it.

thought this was kind of helpful for anyone wanting some minor LR Q type tips

SAME.
It was one of the winter ones and apparently the proctors had to stand outside the old TC to direct everyone to the new location morning of.
And three people got kicked out for not dropping their pencils fast enough, which I think would bug me out even more.

Damn, that sucks. When I took in June, the guy in front of me was still bubbling stuff in like 5 seconds after time was called. My proctors were 3 really sweet older women and I think they really didn't give a shit, lmao.

[Alexandros]

So, you know lecture hall seats with those 10" desks that pull out of the armrest - Is it possible that I'd be assigned to one of those for the LSAT? Like, is that a thing that happens sometimes?

Other person I've talked to got full desks and my former TC location didn't have any lecture halls, so my fears were assuaged, but now I'm not sure. (My TC has no reviews to speak of, naturally, so I'm in the dark.)

yeah I've definitely kept working on final exams after they called time in the past because no one cared. Trying to be very careful to physically drop my pencil as soon as time is called.
I'd be completely devastated if that happened to me, and probably incredibly distracted if I saw it happen to someone else (apparently someone was in tears and stuff or something. can't blame them)

Yeah you can get assigned to a room like that, i believe. People have complained about it before.

Shit, good to know D:
I'm gonna practice on one of those a few times to play it safe. I've had issues taking midterms with scantrons on those things before because there's really not enough room and it's extremely awkward.

[Pozzo]

Alright, alright. It's been a weird prep string for me. No more full PTs since I did 77. I've been focusing mostly on single timed sections and have been going consistently -0/-1 per section, with the exception of a hungover RC where I ran out of time. (n.b., do NOT attempt.) Just trying to keep it consistent and get in 2-3 more full PTs before test day. Trip to NYC tomorrow will be a welcomed, but ill-timed, diversion. I finally feel like I'm at the point where the fundamentals are there. Just need to be able to perform.

Wow I just got completely stumped by a game for the first time in a while. I was 8 minutes in and had only answered one questions, holy crap I feel like an idiot because it looks so simple. I gave up.

This is my biggest fear for test day.

*question asks what example violates princple*
*circles answer that follows principle*

Goddamn rookie moves.

pt36 g3

ugh, i think i might have done my set up wrong.

[+] Spoiler

i did it kind of like an in-out game but i think my sequencing of the whole front to back thing got mixed up with how i thought i should do it with how i think it actually is done. i did it like this


_ _ 3
_ _ 2
_ _ 1

But i think it might be the following, but i'm not sure

_ _ 1
_ _ 2
_ _ 3

literally sat here like an idiot with like 10 mins passing and i had only answered 1 question. forgive me if this game is actually simple and i'm just stupid.

[Instrumental]

idk, reviewing these LR questions I missed, it's pretty obvious that my focus is the problem, not a lack of fundamental understanding of concepts/reasoning. Especially supported by the fact that in the first section, I wasted a good 20-30 seconds re-bubbling answers because of one misbubble. (still finished in time though).

[Mikey]

just curious, any of you applying to any florida schools?

[Rupert Pupkin]

Harvard's median is down to 172! http://hls.harvard.edu/dept/jdadmission ... and-facts/

Might as well be Cooley.

COOLEY!!! @Mikey. Haha Great news!!

[Rupert Pupkin]

Whenever I'm reading the LSAT and I see phenomenon, I can't help but think of...
[youtube]8N_tupPBtWQ[/youtube]

Lmfao! Great... thats going to play in my head everytime i see one. Classic

It's the little things that get you through... like when the LSAC has a question where the response is to prevent the argument that being right handed conveys a survival advantage. Granted, that's garbage, because it totally does! Or, at least, I think there were some studies in the 90s about it!

Haha during my PT yesterday I totally starting singing the song when I saw 'Phenomenon'. Made the section and test more enjoyable...its the small things and whatever it takes to get through this mofo and score well

Is that the one with window/aisle seats with H and G and L and M and co?
If so, one of the worst games out there imo. Took me like 15 min (I think the 7sage guy too.)

[tskela]

FINALLY got my first -1 and -0 in RC but am unsure how representative they are of the newer RC (PTs 58 + 59)

Any thoughts? cannot tell if getting better or tests getting easier since i'm working backwards...

e2: wow, the 2 that i got wrong, i used a screwed up game board for both that i made for the first one, trying to be slick and save time but that back fired lmaoooo
