Law School Discussion

Hi everyone: 

I am one of those that is re-taking the LSAT on Oct 2nd.  I did way too poorly to even mention it, but I have a 3.50 UGPA at a local college in New Jersey, and would be considered intelligent by most ( I think...).  Anyways, I shelled out thus far, close to $1,500 for the Power Score test, some Kaplan books, and anything that promised to be from a legit. source of lsac.  I called up a friend of mine who is in Florida State med. school, already having got a J.D, M.A, and Phd. from Columbia.  I told him of my LSAT troubles, and all of the time, effort and money I have so far spent on taking the LSAT. Samuel used to be a professor at John Jay College of Criminal justice where I used to go, and he knows me well. He gave me the following advice, which I am now doing and going to do until I get to Oct 2nd.:

Just keep taking old LSAT exams, purchased DIRECTLY from LSAC, and keep reviewing the answers and explanations. This is the best way to learn.  I only got my test books in the mail a few days ago, and this is how I plan on studying till the real test. 

The reason why I am posting this, is b/c the explanations that LSAC has in their test books, are written very well and very easy to understand. I almost wish I knew this $1,500 dollars earlier, but experience always teaches me best.

I hope this helps at least one person, if not, at least I get a chance to vent...

Good luck everyone!

Regards,
Rebecca

Hi Rebecca.

I feel your pain.  I spent $1,000 on Kaplan and my June score went down!!!  Thus,
I am taking the exam over in October.  Now, I plan on buying exams straight from LSAC as well but you mentioned explanations.  Where did you obtain these?  I know that LSAC has some explanations but it doesn't look like they have them for every test.  Like you I plan on reviewing the tests repeatedly until I pass out.  

I would also like to know if LSAC's "10 more" has explanations to the answers.

It does not...
