Advice or suggestion? Forum

I know this question is really stupid and ridiculous.

I'm an internatioanl applicant and will be taking the second LSAT in next week (Asia/Pacific).

My first LSAT was 140 in dec 2013, which totally disaster, however, I was able to increase it up to 169.
(I quitted my job for this)

I'm hoping to get around 163, if thing goes smoothly. any advice or tips before taking LSAT?

How have you been studying? You need to give us more information on that. Are you taking nothing but practice tests? Are you focusing on your weaknesses as well as perfecting your strengths?

Just relax and act like it's another PT. You're going to score at or around what you're PTing at. The data typically proves this.

Here's my daily schedule for how I studied (Remeber, I'm not a native and I'm an international applicant)

9:00 ~ 12:30 PT
13:00 ~ 16:00 RC review
16:00 ~ 18:00 Game review
19:00 ~ 22:00 LR review
22:00 ~ 01:00 Overall review again (this was painful part)

Every other day, I took a private tutoring to establish basics, which helped me a lot, especially in LR that I had problem with most.

I think I'm gone nuts.

By the way, what are the high chances that a foreign student can get a job at biglaws in US? Considering that one that has no citizenship or green card. My friend got a job in NY after graduating Northwestern, who is a foreigner....

I'm not sure about Big Law, but the chances of getting into a really good school are definitely in your favor, which will, in turn, play a large role in Big Law placement.

You should take it easy with the studying. Remember, this test doesn't test what you know; it tests you on how you think. Overloading your brain will only make things worse. Don't take only PT's either. Know what your weaknesses are and read up on how to turn those into strengths. This website is very helpful to do just that. If you're up to the task, I'd also look into getting a few books.

A great website to help with your review process is http://www.lsatqa.com

You should still follow the blind review process http://7sage.com/the-blind-review-how-t ... at-part-1/ while you use that website, though.

The first one that I mentioned is to help speed up the process. So, instead of going over your test and then seeing where you did worse, you'll be able to see it in as little as 5 minutes. The website will also tell you which question types/sections are the "costliest" to you. As in, which ones you should really focus on.

Hope that helps!

Thanks a lot!

Although I lived in US for years attending schools, I'm pretty sad that English is my mother tongue, so I'm having trouble with understading and analyzing the long long reading materials. However, those are really good information. I have only a week left, but will try my best to get good score.
