Default 10K LSAT YO?

So, I'm taking the LSAT in June, before I go to Vegas. I really need to motivate myself to prep for it. Anyone want to lay 2:1 (I'd put up $5k, you'd put up $10k, or i guess less...I mean, i just wanted the title to be 10K LSAT YO) against me getting above a 170?

Full disclosure: I got a 164 on my first practice test, and I am taking a prep course now, but I am currently posting this thread and dicking around on the internet instead of actually doing the homework. So, yeah, I'd say I'm a dog to significantly improve my score (unless I am motivated by a prop bet, obv).

Let us gogogo?

FWIW, getting a 164 on your first practice + prep class = decent shot at a 170. Get Howard Treesong to take your action. He seems to like betting against young gamboolers and is a lawyer.

FWIW, I like bets that I think are +EV.

Which course are you taking? Some of them won't get you to 170.

Princeton Review.

Edit: I'd probably do other stuff independently if I actually had 5 figs riding on this.

iirc princeton review is not a course that will get those who score well higher. buy the powerscore books(logic bible, etc), and take tons of practice tests.

Yeah, i've actually been hearing a lot of that. I'll probably buy those tomorrow at some point. And also, in the last 10 days before the test, I'll have a ton of time, maybe even enough to do 1.5 tests per day.

Since I never actually looked into these reviews when I was taking the LSAT can someone fill me in on what the course costs are?
Note: this is informational for me since I never looked into them.




Okay, it's BBV: I scored 172 without basically any prep but I tended to score high on standardized tests.

Good luck OP.

It was less than a buyin. But my parents are paying for it, because they insisted upon doing so for some reason.

Genuinely interested in what I asked. Had a cousin go that route. Thanks.
Obviously I had to get into BBV spirit a bit though also.
Best of luck.
