And OP, if you attended a decent LS, you are very, very likely to pass. |

Decent LS is a proxy for not being an idiot, and as long as you're not an idiot, you'll pass. |

do as many mcs as you can and study every single answer. I did notecards that I looked at at least three times a day for every wrong answer. Writing out essays is a waste of time - poaster above has it right to say you should outline + review model answers. |

If you are smart (165+ LSAT) and spend an average of 8 hours per day for 3 weeks prior to the exam you will pass. |

I didn't go to a T-14, but I am confident I can pass. Don't be nervous. |
|
Date: February 12th, 2012 7:12 PM
btw I never got the essay scoring. Is it a bell curve with 5 as the average? Because people who fail get their essay scores and they aren't to the nearest 1/3 like Barbri, they're to two decimal points. I don't get that. |
|
Date: February 12th, 2012 7:17 PM
barbri states that a 5 is passing on the essay.
p.s, thanks -- i hope i do pass because i've been nervous, freaking out, and all that shit for the whole time and now i'm just like fuck it -- gotta study and not let nerves get to me. |

Briefly in the beginning of my studies, I followed the assignments for drills and MPQ questions. But thereafter, I basically only dedicated my time to filling in the outlines for the lectures. I'm slightly behind, finishing up watching Secured Transactions as I type.
My study habits are lackluster to say the least.
How about you guys? |

I've submitted about 7 essays for grading and 2 MPTs for grading.
NYP is the worst subject but also the most "mechanical" next to Wills & Trusts..it's easy to figure out what happens, but the trouble is memorizing those rules.
I'm at 57% for the paced program schedule too. I am not following it anymore. I hate AMP |

I took NYP in law school so I have familiarity with it but some of the stuff is just down right nuts, i.e., crazy return dates, motion practice, and all that. ugh.
I also hate federal jdx with its supplemental jdx and all that nonsense too. Worst subject ever next to Conflicts of Laws. |
|
Date: February 14th, 2012 3:07 PM 1. servitudes 2. fed jurisdiction/third party practice 3. conflict of laws 4. commercial paper (types of liability, etc) |
|
Date: February 14th, 2012 3:12 PM
I def agree with #2, 3, and 4!!!!!!!
I was trying to figure out supplemental jdx for fed jdx, and i thought it was a load of bs -- who the hell remembers this crap anyway in real life? removal is worse.
I hate commercial paper -- i understand what a negotiable instrument is and a draft but otherwise it's ridic.
