[blindlaw] lsat December score and prospects

[James Weisberg]

Agreed!!  I blew off Kaplan after the first week when it was apparent they
were all about the money and not accommodating any particular student.  Stay
away from Kaplan!!!!

My advice to all:
I write the following sentence in all capital letters.  NEVER NEVER NEVER
USE KAPLANTESTPREPORATIONAND ADMISSIONS FOR ANY REASON!!  I took the GRE
twice and only scored higher the second time since a dedicated friend helped
teach me the Kaplan course over a 6 Month period.  Never waist money on a
greedy selfish corporation like Kaplan for any test preparation of any kind.
 Just a word to the wise.

Congratulations!  I took the June test and scored one hundred thirty nine.
Most of the points were lost on the logic games section, and I have been
talking with an attorney through The Lighthouse in Chicago about approaching
LSAC regarding leveling the test out a bit.  The most that I have ever
scored on the logic games section is six correct by guessing "B" on all
questions, and I scored four points using the same method on the June test.

The struggle with Kaplan Test Prep because they did not accommodate me and
then with LSAC about the logic games section and their refusing my
suggestions to help me take notes was quite a challenge.

I have not yet applied to any law schools and will explain that I was not
accommodated correctly and hope that they understand.  Meanwhile, I am
working with a law firm and Kaplan to get their class accommodated and will
take the class and test again once that is resolved.

How many questions did you score correctly on the Logic Games section?

Tom

had a 3.85 cumulative GPA at the American University in Bulgaria and was
involved in many extracurricular activities while in college. Though I am
aware that most of you are not law school admission experts, I would kindly
ask you to let me know what are my chances to get a scholarship in a law
school  in the U.S. I know that my chances are quite slim because of the 
low score (145) but I don't know if low scores are rather typical for most
blind test takers. After all, I will be compared to the other applicants to
the law schools and, most probably, will be compared to other blind
applicants so I would like to know how well blind test takers dealt with the
test in the past.
