I thought the test was definitely do-able (as if there was any other option), compared to the proctored practice tests I've been taking in the prep course I took. I do well with LR and it was great that the test started of with that, and there more sections on that than anything else. The games is what I have a challenge with, and I thought the games were relatively easy compared to what I have been practicing on.
Can't wait to get results, as they will determine a great deal of my future!!

...........and honestly it was not as bad as I thought! Logic games were my weakest section where arguments and reasoning were my strongest. And low and behold my 5th experimental section was reasoning.
I took the Princeton Review accelerated prep that was a month long, and before that I had NEVER even touched an LSAT book, or done one single question.
For those who are doing self study with the bible I will say this: I had a study group with a few students who were in my review class and some who were self study, and I must say the self study logic-bible folks seemed equally equipped as those of us who spent $1200 on the course.
I am sooo glad this ordeal is behind me. It was very stressful, and time consuming having to work two jobs, continue a full course load, and prepare for this test.

I'm a non-traditional student, 33 years old black male and have made a career in the IT field for the past 10 years and actually make a pretty good living doing it. However I want to do something that has a little more meaning and has the ability to make a visible difference in the lives of others. That along with my passion for the law has put me on the path to law school. I'm currently finishing undergrad after a 10 year hiatus on track to graduate with a 3.75 however I'm struggling with my LSAT. I took an accelerated LSAT prep course through Princeton Review (actually my last class is tonight) before my scheduled December 5th testing date. I'm scoring low, but it is improving and I do feel as though I have a firm grasp of the LSAT structure. Realistically I'm hoping to get a 150. Top schools simply aren't important to me. In fact my school of choice is Phoenix School of Law here in AZ that offers a part-time program where I know my 150 will safely land me into their program. As a result of my low practice test scores I have added more schools to my application list that generally admit students with lower scores, but have a high bar passage rate. Honestly I just want to "GET IN" law school and will do anything to make that happen.
My question is what are the true drawbacks to going to a lower tier school, if working for big $$ firm isn't on your radar? I honestly see myself practicing law on my own and eventually running for public office.
Is anyone else in a similar situation as I am?

I have a criminal record (no felonies) 3 or 4 misdemeanors ranging from disorderly conduct to use of Marijuana from 10-15 years ago. I am 33 now and obviously a non-trad student. Where/how do I disclose this information? And do I give detailed reports of the events surrounding each incident? Its really hard to remember dates, agencies etc.
Any advice for me?

Phoenix School of Law is pretty much non-traditional. Average student age is 33 and class size of 30
