Agree, nor can success in life be predicted by GPA, SAT, GMAT, etc.
Which, while accurate, isn't the point. The point is that law schools DO use LSAT scores as a component of the admissions process and if you give up ONE question, ONE point, you are putting yourself at a competitive disadvantage.
It's a game. If you are going to play the game, play to win.
Kaplan. DRILL DRILL DRILL DRILL DRILL DRILL DRILL. Practice tests EVERY day. Logic Games until you puke, then Logic Games for dessert. PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE. If you are prepared you have a shot at winning. If you are underprepared you LOSE.
Kaplan sucks, OK, but the point is you GO TO THE CLASSES and it forces you into a routine and peer climate of competition which reinforces this. Don't do anything else during the process.
The testers don't care if you had a life. The admissions office has three piles: immediate accept, immediate reject and "read the application." You want to be able to make it out of the middle pile with essays and the rest, but if you don't clear the initial bar it won't ever be read.
Remember this: the BAR is a standardized test.
