I've looked in the study guides and I just tune out immediately....so many bullshit-crazy logic questions.

Jane is sitting next to Mike.  Mike is sitting across from Harry.  Jason could be to the left or to the right of Harry.  Carol cannot be seated opposite Jane.....

Assuming they sit at a round table with a diameter of 3 meters, please select the order that they are sitting in, starting at 12 o'clock and moving clockwise around the table.

Cicular linearity games don't occur very often on the LSAT.

I know....I just didn't feel like fleshing the question out any more  :lol

Assume 5 seats....but remember that I don't know the answer, and am just making this shit up as I go along.

I'm starting to think that this table does not exist.

serious response: learn a basic strategy and then take as many practice exams as possible, for the first 2-3 don't time yourself but for the rest make sure you are keeping time so that you know what you will have to do when you are taking the test. Don't be afraid to skip questions that seem difficult, just be sure to try to come back to them later, or at least fill out the answer sheet since a wrong answer doesn't count against you and a guess gives you a 1/4 chance of getting it right.

I personally found that I was much more relaxed when I was actually taking the exam then when I was practicing. My score was a couple points higher on the real exam from my average on the practice exams.

Thanks Max, but I've read the 'Games Bible' and the 'Logical Reasing Bible' several times and have taken plenty of practice tests. My main problem is not being able to sleep the night before the test.

That could be a problem, it's a long test.... also, don't forget to write as much as possible on the essay question. If, IF it comes down to it, people in admissions that were interviewed said that the length of the essay was usually more important than the syntax, basically they just give it a look over. Appearance is everything.

By the time I get to the essay section I am dead tired. I don't even want to make an effort.

I've never taken the LSAT and I never will, but I pwn standardized tests for the most part.

Assuming there's a multiple-choice part:
If you answer a question then go to change your answer, don't. 70% of the time your first answer was correct and you'll be changing it to a wrong one.

Get lots of rest in the days before, eat a nice big breakfast, and have a water bottle handy if you're allowed in case you get thirsty. Dress comfortably in layers so you can put on or remove various articles of clothing as needed.

If the test is given by the same people that give the SATs, you can demand things and they have to comply--like if you want a left-handed desk, or the ticking clock is bothing you and you need to switch rooms, stuff like that. That's what I heard, anyway.

Best of luck!

All I can say is this:

This test will only determine the rest of your life. Spend the time to write a long, at least coherent essay.

Also remember that there are five  35 minutes sections on the real exam plus the 30 minute essay.

I owned standardized test as well, I got a 32 on the ACT without studying whatsoever and yet I am very very very happy that I spent the time to prepare for the LSAT, it was unlike any test I had ever taken

"Get lots of rest"?

"Get lots of rest"?

"Get lots of rest"?

Why must you mock me.

I have my modafinil this time so even if I don't sleep I think I can survive.

Nikki, I can't choose my room either. And last time they gave me a seat next to the window so I could listen to a busy Montreal street.  :(

Yeah Max, I hate the experimental section. Why add another section to a long test.

wait! you've taken it before??

In that case, take a Tylenol PM about 9-10 hours before you will have to wake up for the exam, you will be able to sleep soundly and the effects of the drug should wear off after about 8 hours total, that's why I say 9-10 hours, just to make sure you won't feel the effects of the drug in the morning.

Last time I tried to go to sleep at 9:00 and drank three shots of Nyquil. My sympathetic nervous system was on overdrive.

Terrible! :( If you get there early can you at least get a good seat?

Well... sort of. You can get one at the end of a row. That way you're sitting next to only one person.
