Top Law Schools

any songs, or quotes you like looking at to help you refocus while you study?

i like “If my mind can conceive it, and my heart can believe it, I know I can achieve it.”..then i think that 170 is possible...

i like listening to "big things poppin" by T.I. too, some of the lyrics motivate me

I visit this forum. I look at law school stats and rankings. And I read my books on Jurisprudence (light-weight works like Breyer's Active Liberty and Scalia's A Matter of Interpretation).

At this point of my prep, I've become addicted to doing the Games. The challenge for me is to disengage and to give LR and RC their due attention.

Try a few years of work experience.

"Till I Collapse" is my official finals song.

Thoughts of going to a TTT school.

+1 TITCR. "Eat lightning. Shit success."

I found my old letters of rejection from when I applied to college and scholarships. I also dug up an old love letter from the girl who just broke up with me. I took everything else down and pinned these on the bulletin board above my desk.

here's what I go with:

1. clubbed to death by rob dougan (Matrix pump up instrumental that isn't too fast/intense)

2. piggy by NIN (the chorus is very fitting for LSAT prep)

3. grindin by clipse (again, chorus + simple but ill beat)

4. lux aeterna by clint mansell (theme from Requiem for a Dream--if I'm ever completely dead, I just blast this a couple times. The pace/power at the end are sick)

5. map of the problematique by muse (same deal if I am lagging)

6. shook ones pt 2. by Mobb Deep (favorite rap song OAT)

7. sober by tool (for some reason focusing on the drums in the background improves my focus)

8. sierra leone by mt eden dubstep (favorite dubstep song)

9. adagio for strings by tiesto (don't like techno, but this song definitely gets you going as it plays on)

10.i remember by deadmau5 and kaskade (nice comedown)

after all this shit I usually wrap up with James Taylor and John Coltrane to gear down for the night


hope this helps

also, possession by sarah mcglachlan (yea, I said it..)

Kevin Rudolf - I Made it (ft. Birdman Jay Sean Lil wayne)

Listen to it every time I go into my midterms/finals and it does the job.

usually all it takes is a quick look at the HLS and CLS median and 75%ile scores to get me back on track. this also helps when studying for classes I hate

sitting in Langdell right now, I recommend taking a visit if you want to enhance that motivation

As awful as this may sound, watching Legally Blonde gets me excited about law school and motivates me to study, even though it's utterly unrealistic.

All the above by Maino.

My phone's wallpaper, laptop's wallpaper, work comp's wallpaper is my avatar.

Same as most of the posters above, look at HLS rankings, LSAT percentiles, wiki's of HLS ect...That gets me back into the mode of lsat pwnage.

Picture yourself just killing the LSAT and eating its face. It helps me get by.

1. Lose Yourself-Eminem. The song was basically written for LSAT preppers like us.

2.Visit the forum...often.

3.Then tell yourself, if them, then why not me?

While it is completely valid after watching Rocky V to tell oneself that nothing came after Rocky IV, Rocky Balboa has a couple of good, motivational scenes in it:

Pursuit of Happiness

How winning is done

I use this song for motivation too. But my all time favorite song for motivating to do things like running and LSAT prep is "Bulls On Parade" by Rage Against The Machine.
