Law School Discussion

I'm planning on taking the LSAT in June, but I haven't even opened a practice test until a week ago.  I'm thinking about buying those "bibles", but I haven't yet and I had no other reading regardting on how to do the LSAT at all.  So, the first practice test I ever opened was that LSAC Sample PrepTest and I was doing it on and off for about three days, LOL.  Most of the time, I wasn't really concentrated as I was doing it during my classes and sometimes half asleep, etc.  I also paid no attention to the time and I was taking all the time that I needed.  I got 68 right out of 101, and based on the chart they had, I guess it's about 156 or so.

Today, I was doing my second practice test, this time it was the official LSAT from June 2003.  I did it all in one day, taking breaks between each section, with more effort and concentration.  Once again, I didn't even try to get it done in 35 minutes, in fact on average I did each of the section in about an hour.  I did the Game section in almost hour and a half, but I got all 23 of them right.  In the end, I got 77 right out of 101, for a score of 161, I think.

I'm taking a PowerScore test in April, but until then I'm planning on just doing more tests.  I would really love to get some feedback on how I'm doing.  Is it self defeating that I take as much time as needed to do each section?  Should I try to fit in, in 35 minutes?  Should I be doing anything else differently?  Any other suggestions?

I'm hoping for a 170 score on the test, do you think with class and more practice it would be possible for me?

Thanks

Thanks

 

I have decided to takan a LSAT prep course for the June test.  So, I was just wondering if anyone had any recommendations as to which ones are the best.  I'm currently thinking of taking it with Princeton Review.  Anyone took it?

For the area where I reside, the median expected salary for a typical Attorney I (a graduate of an accredited law school with 0-3 years of experience) is around $85,000. After 3 years the average salary is $100,000 and after 3 other years $140,000. 

Where do you find out something like that?

Thanks everyone.  You've all been a HUGE help.

If anyone has anything else, I'll be here.
