i think its a lot easier to ace these than any other section.

after a while, there is like 5 patterns and you don't even read the words (like the matrix!)

doctors and offices with patients, or vets with cages and animals; christmas lights in a row or marbles in a bag; all the same thing.

I got 5 wrong in logic games on the real deal.

I was fine with that.

I took one practice LSAT and got 13 (!!!) wrong on logic games. I actually scored a 163 on that practice somehow.

It is commonly said that logic games are the most learnable, so if that is your weak point now, all the better.

The "-x" refers the amount one can miss and still hit a 170 on the LSAT. The curve is determined by the people who produce the LSAT prior to the administration of the test based how difficult they believe it to be.

I always thought this was weird, because I would assume they could calculate a much more accurate curve by seeing how people actually scored relative to other tests rather than trying to gauge how difficult the test is beforehand.

The curve is set because all the questions were previously experimental questions on earlier LSAT administrations. It's not just the testmaker's whim.

are you sure ALL questions questions have been in the experimental at some point?? How would they have enough when they administer 1 exp:4 real each test?

maybe I am forgetting something...

ya I forgot that they have 4 different experimental sections per LSAT due to different versions...but still, I didn't think they necessarily used them all for future tests?

Do law schools take into account your major/classes you took when they look at your GPA? My GPa is a 3.4 but I'm majoring in Physics simply because I like it. My GPA in non-science, non-math classes is probably something like a 3.6/3.7.

Should I just try to take as many easy classes as I can from here on out or will they respect the fact that I just take classes that interest me? Can they tell when people fill their schedules with easy classes?

They don't really care, they want your GPA as high as possible to boost their rank...if you can take easier classes, than do so -- it is much much much better than taking classes that look 'challenging.'

That said, they won't completely disregard your major COMPLETELY, but it will not make any noticeable difference when you apply.

Good to know. Physics major as an undergrad, (hopefully) going to law school next year.

So I got something from The University of St. Thomas School of Law Online. They were pretty impressed by my LSAT score, and are consistently ranked as having a top 2 'quality of life'. Obv, the best match for me, amirite?

Is this like a sick burn or something because one of my ex-gfs goes to Tulane Law and it would be nice to have something to hold over her head.

Thanks. Both my GPA and LSAT are lower than that (not significantly though), but the linky made me feel better about the big state schools in my area I was planning on applying to. FWIW, I was in the same situation as the guy who you were answering, I just kind of goofed off in college and should have applied myself more. Of course, if that was the case I would have probably just went to a grad program in Physics and the whole thing wouldn't matter.

PM me your email and I'll send you what another generous 2+2er sent me which is the PowerSeries (or PowerScore, don't remember and too lazy to look it up) books along with 100+ tests.

sent out 14 apps tonight

8 more go out tomorrow

i took a lot of shots (applied to a lot of huge reach schools)

i hope one bites

my target/lockish schools arent bad though, lower end tier 1/upper tier 2s prob with $$

Good luck dude. Before the elitist guys comment on this I will tell you that you aren't likely to get BIGLAW from any of these schools.

The graph is for 2005 grads and the economy you will face is much less favorable. So, don't count on a big salary when you graduate.
