Anyone taking it? I've got it at the McKimmon Center. Also, if you've taken it and have some worthwhile advice, I'd appreciate it. Thus far I've been quite disappointed and depressed with my practice test results. 6/1/2006 12:11:24 PM |

Yeah I took a worthless speed reading course over there two years ago in the middle of September and my toes nearly froze off. Maybe I'll wear slippers to the test. Thanks for your help. 6/1/2006 12:51:58 PM |

study study study study study..... the test smells fear, and if you start to panic during the real test, you can kiss your scores goodbye. also, if people start to walk out during the test, don't freak out. i had three people leave while i was taking it, and i contemplated leaving myself. good thing i didn't. 6/1/2006 1:56:00 PM |

Just an FYI - If you ask the proctor to call the front for a temperature adjustment, it should get taken care of. Dunno what time the LSAT is, but right now, the day person is very conscientious, so it'll likely get taken care of. I work many Monday nights, and it'll get taken care of too...so long as you get someone to call the front desk. 6/4/2006 1:25:50 AM |

If you could somehow give me all the time in the world to take the test next Monday, I'll take you out for dinner and let you order anything you want. 6/4/2006 1:36:26 AM |

I think I'm going to reschedule for October and take the Kaplan class in August. I'm performing too poorly overall to have any hope to score well next week. My biggest problem is that a lot of the right answers to the arguments don't make sense to me. I need someone to teach me what is wrong about them. Hopefully my scores will increase dramatically once I'm done with Kaplan. 6/5/2006 12:17:40 PM |

Here is my advice don't even go to law school. It sucks. I'm a 2L at UNC. 6/5/2006 5:38:55 PM |

Can you suggest an alternative for a history major? Should I be a teacher, a librarian, or a curator? No thanks. Law school's the only alternative. 6/5/2006 7:00:18 PM |

PeaceCorps, general non-profit work.
Going back to grad school would give you some more options. 6/5/2006 7:36:42 PM |

Just the fact that you'd suggest it. There's no way I'm joining the peacecorps. 6/6/2006 6:25:40 PM |

Law school is fine. Don't listen to this crybaby.6/6/2006 10:30:05 PM |

don't just go to law school because you can't think of anything else. you'll get chewed up and spit out in a matter of seconds if you don't have any real motivation for learning the stuff. 6/6/2006 10:32:25 PM |

my advice is not to take it at the mckimmon center. i took it once there, and once again at a small college here near my house in VA, and did much better in the smaller surroundings. For one, i wasn't in a room with 100 other people. also, i was in a classroom sitting in a desk, so i felt more comfortable, as opposed to the bigass white tables with chairs pulled up to them.
other than that, don't sweat it. it's not that big of a deal. just keep confident, pay no attention to the naysayers and people who will freak out at the testing site (there will be plenty of those).
go in, do your thing, and go home. 6/7/2006 12:11:54 AM |

I officially pushed my test date back to September 30 and I signed up for Kaplan's class at Meredith this August. I think I made the right decision. I learn better when things are dictated to me and I'm told how to study, thus it was foolish of me to think I could buy Princeton Review's book and teach myself to take this test and get the score I want. 6/7/2006 8:50:13 AM |
