Well, the pre-law blog has unofficially graduated from law school, pending passing grades in two courses. Thus, it is on to the Illinois bar exam in February.

I try not to make this blog too much about me, I don't think I'm an especially interesting person and don't have a special need for attention like some bloggers. I enjoy my privacy and luckily not enough people likely read this blog to matter anyway. But...I think the experiences involved with the bar exam review course (Bar/Bri) and the bar exam itself are worth chronicling here. So I'll try to post updates on some of my experiences along the way.

Once again, I give a shoutout to my employer and the the non-profit organization that makes this blog possible.

If you're in law school right now, you're surely preparing for exams.

Don't forget about CALI lessons. There are over 700 free, interactive, computer-based tutorials in over 32 areas of law.

While searching for podcasts on iTunes last night, I found the Princeton Review's LSAT Logic in Everyday Life. They talk about logic in everyday life and supposedly help develop reasoning skills relevant to the LSAT.

The podcasts are less than 10 minutes long and are pretty interesting, whether they actually will make a difference on your LSAT or not. So they're probably worth a listen on your commute to school, at the gym, or whenever you have time. Here's the link. They are available for free on iTunes as well.

I've always been fascinated with the law school world's love/hate obsession with rankings.

Have not done a reader question in awhile, so here it goes:

I am currently beginning a committed 2 full months into prepping for the LSAT. I originally signed up for the Blueprint LSAT full course, but was did not mesh with its classroom style. I prefer to study on my own. i have a low GPA 2.35 but went through hell (divorce, tragedy, etc.) while in school. I am 32 years ols and a single dad. I am absolutely committed to preparing and dead to the world for the next two months. i am purchasing the Powerscore Bibles to add to my study. What advice, if any can you elaborate on in preparing and what are the prospects, assuming I do well on the LSAT, of any top schools offering me admission?
