Plus, I had to study for the lsat at the same time. And during the last couple summers, I have been traveling for campaign jobs which don't offer me a whole lot of free time. In fact, that's what I've been doing the past month. But, I do try and pop on every once in a while to keep up with things Gee, I haven't been in any sort of formal, classroom educational institution for over 20 years. But I just took community college as post-secondary in my youth, as that's all my job demanded for entry pre-requisites. But a LOT of self-education, though... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Graduation comes closer and closer and I know I’ll need to take the LSAT by the Spring semester at the latest. I did real well (and slightly better than my goal). If you are thinking about taking it, I'd recommend studying ASAP. The sooner you start, the more you can space out studying (and avoid overload). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The higher education system is kind of a scam IMO. However, society has put such an emphasis on it that it is necessary to success in a lot of sector. Since I'm aiming for law school, that is most definitely the case (though I'd argue law school is part of a scam as well). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve been lightly studying on and off for a few years now. My most recent diagnostic was a 152, which isn’t great but my biggest issue by far is logic games which I know is the easiest to improve upon. Good luck with your campaign work this election cycle!

Ya, once you get the processes down, logic games are easy to improve on. I sucked at them early on but really focused on them during my studying. I started out at 155, so you can easily build off of a 152 and get a solid score. 6 minutes ago, Patine said: LSAT? I haven't heard of it.

I believe it is an American Bar Association thing, so it only exists in the US. Edit: I just looked it up and it appears Canada uses it too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Since I'm aiming for law school, that is most definitely the case (though I'd argue law school is part of a scam as well). California still apparently allows you to "read law and challenge the bar exam," and is the only U.S. state left that still does (but even then, most California attorneys don't, and still attend law school). One of the characters on the old legal drama, "LA Law," apparently had that as part of their background, and it caused perennial mentions, and even a several-episode recurring judge character showing a scant attitude toward them. I believe Johnny Cochrane originally did, but got a full law degree later in his career. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

When I was older, I had a co-worker that was taking the LSAT and he would read the logic games to me as I was working in the office of a bookstore. They were fairly easy for me. He had a harder time on them, but I think he passed the LSAT. I also took a few logic classes in undergrad, getting a 101 on the final exam. What's odd is that I am good at logic games and at chess, but I've never been great at mathematics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm considering trying to fit a logic class into my senior year just for the benefit of taking one before going to law school. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
