You should see a tab that says "new topic." That's what you're looking for.

well I am enrolled in an accelerated Princeton Review LSAT prep course. I started off by taking a practice exam the first day to see where I was, and as I thought I was pretty unfamiliar with the process. I scored a 137 But, at least it wasn't a 120....lol. Princeton review guarantee's a 10 point gain from the first test given or your money back. My teacher said I should expect to gain about 10 percentage points (whatever that means)
I have a month of three 3.5 hours classes a week, and weekly practice tests. I felt good after the first class having several "Ah Ha" moments when she explained the techniques for taking the exam. I am not applying at top tier schools, so I'm not overly concerned with getting an absolute high score. I'd be happy with a 150-160. Being a URM will work to my advantage but thats not what I'm banking on. I have a high GPA, highly regarded LOR's, I hold public office, heavily involved in the community and tons of valuable life experiences to bring to the table.
I registered with lsac for the dec. 4th exam and I am really excited to move to the next phase in this process.

**UPDATE**
Well I took the LSAT December 5th, and after taking a prep course through Princeton Review I must say the actual test seemed easier than the proctored practice test that I have been taking for the past month. I felt good about the test while taking it, and I'm looking forward to see how much my score improved when I get the results!! I'm preparing my applications as we speak. Law School fall '10 here we come!!

That wasn't the case when I taught there.  You sure you read the fine print right?

yes, and you're right. They only guarantee an "improvement" where as my instructor said I should expect to see a 10 point improvement. When we pressed the office personal for further clarification she concluded that even a 1 point improvement would be sufficient to meet the terms of the guarantee

So how did the scores go trudawg?

well, not as good as I'd hoped, but I'm just going to apply anyway. I spoke with the admission counselor at the ONLY school that I'm looking to get into and she stated that I should be fine with some strong LOR's so I'm working on that right now. If I don't get in, then I"m going to complete a 1 year masters degree program and try again next year, but something tells me I'll be just fine
