As a prospective law school student, a successful career is one of my biggest goals. I see that in order to be successful, I must push hard for what I want, and fully expose myself to all there is to learn. It’s no secret that applying to law school is a numbers game. That is, a high GPA and high LSAT score fits an applicant into an ideal position to apply to a variety of good schools. I personally acquired a low GPA from my alma mater. Scoring a high LSAT score is a must for my position, which would define me as a splitter; an applicant who has a high score on one end (GPA or LSAT score) that offsets the low score on the other end. If you haven’t noticed there is a need for me to do well on the LSAT. I must do well in order to go to a decent school. I have never taken the LSAT, and I figure if I’m serious to take it then I better prep for it.
I just got my Blueprint Prep materials in the mail today. I must say, I didn’t expect Blueprint to provide humor, but they did. I don’t have any reason to read ahead in the prep books, but I couldn’t help to take a peek in book one, which noted that humor is the secret to getting through the study materials. When it comes to the course as a whole Blueprint defiantly doesn’t cost as much as its’ competitors, but I still had to fork over a good sum. Good thing I am participating in a paid study at University of California, Berkeley that involves several tests. Just yesterday I was tested on various memory games similar to the LSAT logic games. Being tested in an fMRI machine is not ideal, but it helps with the bills. I had one session before the Blueprint Prep class, and I will take another after I complete the LSAT.
When it comes to my feelings of the up and coming prep course, I will say in one word is excitement. Excitement is exactly what I feel when I think about this prep course starting. From what I know the first day of instruction is a diagnostic test, which provides information on what I am good at and not so good at. So far I’m good at procrastinating my studying. I start to question myself, am I one of those people, the person who needs take a class or be pushed in order to do well? Maybe. Once this course does start I know I will be putting in at least 30 hours a week of homework, at least that’s what I keep telling myself. I work a 9-5 job, and I now have to come home and study. Let alone, the class location is in Berkeley, which is a 40-minute drive. It sounds like I’m picking out the negatives, but what I am really doing it just showing you that I have to be very organized and take this prep course seriously in order to do well. Wish me well!
