Now don’t get too excited; it’s still eight days and four hours away, and everything hangs on these last eight days. This may be the most important week in your entire LSAT studies; how you spend it will determine if you crush the LSAT or if you get crushed. Here’s your guide for making sure next Saturday culminates in celebration, not catastrophe (either way ending with copious amounts of alcohol).

This weekend needs to include a complete dry run day. That’s right, it’s game time. Take a full practice exam in the morning, and treat it like the real thing. This is your chance to set your game day routine – so no drinking, staying up late watching reruns of Jersey Shore the night before. And make sure you have a hearty breakfast (preferably with plenty of coffee), bring a snack, and get used to using an analog watch (no, not your iPhone timer). Pretend like it’s the real thing, that your score on this exam will be your real LSAT score – scary, I know. The more you can build this test up, the less stressful next Saturday will be.

Take the test, then review the hell out of it. There is still room for improvement, but only if you use your time efficiently. Review is where you’re going to get better; figure out what you’re doing wrong, then stop doing it. Instant increase.

Spaced out throughout the rest of the week you should include two or three other practice exams (time trials included), but certainly no more than three. Instead of trying to cram 8 exams in as many days, space out your exams, and on your off days, instead of full exams, do individual timed sections. Take an extra exam and break it into four separate sections; do each timed, but spaced throughout the day with breaks and review in between. This will give you more fresh practice time, and will help prevent the burnout that otherwise would result from Practice Exam overload (marked by deranged expressions, decreasing scores and, ultimately, LSAT disaster). And don’t forget to review!

In addition to studying, there are a couple of things that also need to happen within the next week. First, make sure you visit your test center, figure out directions, timing, parking, so you don’t have to worry about any of that on game day. Sure, it may sound dorky to do a dry-run visit of your test center, but it will remove an added, entirely unnecessary stress on an already stressful day (and prevent the possibility of getting lost). Also, you’ll need to compile your LSAT necessities: print out your admission ticket, go and get a professional passport picture taken at your local Walgreens (or risk violating these ridiculous requirements), get your pencils, sharpener, and snack all together in a clear gallon-sized Ziploc bag. This should all happen before Friday, because you should take Friday off. Entirely. No work, no school and certainly no LSAT prep.

By this time next week, the big game will be a thing of the past and the February LSAT will once again engulf your concentration. But there’s no reason we can’t tie the two subjects together.

So throw on your jersey, huddle around, and read these five Super Bowl-themed logical fallacies.

HUT! HUT! HIKE!

SUPER BOWL EXTRA LARGE SIX FALLACY I: THE REMATCH

For those who don’t know, Sunday’s game between the New York Giants and New England Patriots has quite a backstory. Way back on February 3, 2008, the G Men were double-digit underdogs but somehow upset the previously undefeated Pats 17-14. Some people say that if the Giants could beat the Patriots when New England was 18-0 and breaking all kinds of league records, then the Giants shouldn’t have a problem repeating in 2012. Others say the Patriots have the edge this time around because of the revenge factor.

Well, they’re both wrong. That’s a textbook temporal fallacy. Simply because something happened in the past doesn’t mean it will happen again in the future or that it won’t happen again. Keep this fallacy in mind when at the roulette wheel after you lose $100 incorrectly guessing the coin toss.

SUPER BOWL EXTRA LARGE SIX FALLACY II: THE HEARTTHROB

Aside from Jets fans, who doesn’t like Tom Brady, right? Mr. Uggs has three Super Bowl rings and is by far the Patriots’ most esteemed player. This has led many people to make the case that because New England has one of the best players in NFL history, they’re the best team on Sunday.

Uh, composition fallacy much? Have you seen the Pats’ secondary?

SUPER BOWL EXTRA LARGE SIX FALLACY III: THE BROTHER

Eli Manning, on the other hand, has only one Super Bowl ring and by all appearances has the IQ of a basset hound. There’s no way he can be a smart quarterback, right?

Wrong. That thought has about as much a chance of being logical as David Tyree has of getting on the cover of Madden. As much fun as it is calling Eli a buffoon, it’s nothing more than a good old-fashioned attacking the person fallacy.

SUPER BOWL EXTRA LARGE SIX FALLACY IV: THE BEST OF THE BEST

There’s always controversy in college football because they’re not into the whole playoff thing. But in the NFL, you get the eight best teams, put ‘em in a bracket, and whichever two teams reach the Super Bowl are deemed the two best in the league, and the winner, therefore, has to be the best team of the season.

(Cue the Family Feud “Not even close” buzzer and large red X.)

Survey says that’s an exclusivity fallacy.

SUPER BOWL EXTRA LARGE SIX FALLACY V: THE CALORIES

The Super Bowl is the Super Bowl of noshing. This leads many people to think, Come on, New Year’s resolutions. It’s the Super Bowl! Calories don’t count during the Super Bowl!

Ah, but they do — as you’ll discover Monday morning when you step on the scale.

By the way, this fallacy isn’t covered in our LSAT prep. It’s nonsense. Just like 99% of the Super Bowl commercials are going to be.

B) Burglars steal $3 million in gold from a California courthouse. Undercover investigators have already begun staking out all area strip malls that have a Cash4Gold store. KRCRTV.

C) Here’s a plea to put Supreme Court deliberations on television. Hope it’s on Bravo instead of C-SPAN. CNN.

D) Any Star Trek fans out there? (“Yay!”) What about Deep Space Nine? (“Boo!”) Well, anyway, a dude from the show was arrested for DUI. CT Now.

E) A boat in Tasmania pulls 145 water skiers. Pfft. Would’ve been more impressive if it was a paddle boat. Matador Network.

You can stop reading now.

If the above doesn’t describe you, please read on. And rest assured that it’s not the least bit abnormal to have doubts about your chosen career/life path (or use double negatives). If you’re planning on heading to law school, or you’re already there, you may wonder what effect a change of heart may have on your future.

Let’s start by pointing out that like everything in law and school, the answer is that it depends. Mostly, it depends on just how big a change of heart you have. If you decide half way through law school that you want to focus on a type of law different than the one on which your little heart was previously set, you’ll be just fine. To be perfectly frank, what you study in law school doesn’t have a great deal of bearing on what you end up practicing. Rather, you can delve into extracurricular activities (such as journals) that involve your chosen focus and then choose a career path that shares said focus. No biggie. If you were going to be a good lawyer in one field, you can be good in another, provided you put forth the same amount of effort.

Now, let’s say you get through your second year of law and start to have your doubts about practicing law in general. Different story altogether. Maybe. You only have one year to go, so you may be inclined to ride things out, take the bar and see if your heart changes back. Not a bad idea at all. You’ve already invested a lot of time and your issues (whatever they may be) could merely be temporary. However, if you have found something about which you’re wildly passionate and to which a law degree would add absolutely nothing, you may want to consider cutting bait. This, however, is a decision only you can make and you should consult with friends and family first. It’s a huge decision with potentially enormous implications.

Well that was heavy. The eeriness of these children oughta take your mind off things.

B) You think law school debt sucks? Wait’ll the sequel. Student Loan Ranger.

C) Looks like more law school graduates are suing their schools because they can’t find a job and their coffee was too hot. Bloomberg.

D) Someone got busted for inflating SAT scores. Typical SAT — copying everything the LSAT does. City Town Info.

E) You can lead a horse to water, but can you draw him once he gets there? Voiceable.

When that person is close to our headquarters here in Los Angeles, we’ll often bring them in and use their story for advertising purposes. We call them “success stories.”

This past summer and fall, we had a handful of success stories that were especially impressive. Although all these people featured have their own ads plastered across several campuses, we thought it would make sense to run down their stories on Most Strongly Supported to let everyone see.

Batter up!

Joyce Yoon

Joyce took Jennifer Steinberg’s Blueprint LSAT prep course in Northridge and scored a 148 on her first LSAT practice exam. Joyce took the October LSAT and scored a 173 — an increase of 25 points. Joyce, whose parents are missionaries in the Philippines, took care of herself in college. To fit her spunky attitude, as a freshman Joyce joined a hip hop dance team without any training whatsoever. And no matter the time of year, her favorite movie is Elf.

Richard Jolly

Richard’s dream is to become a law professor. After increasing 20 points from his first PE (149) to the LSAT, he looks well on his way toward that goal. The question is, will his 169 on the LSAT top the time he ran for the mayor of Berkeley? What about the time he biked from Canada to Mexico? Or the time he showed up on LSAT test day with a purple mohawk?

Gatsby Miller

Gatsby (or Baxter, as he’s known around these parts) scored a 173 on the October LSAT. That’s an increase of 19 points from his first practice exam, which he took in Blueprint co-founder Matt Riley’s UCLA course. Most UCLA students might recognize Gatsby; he was heavily involved on campus and even ran for student government. If anything, you’d probably recognize Gatsby’s pitch-perfect singing voice. (He played Charlie Brown once. Trust us. He’s good.)

Kyle Draper

Kyle took a break from playing guitar and scored a 167 on the October LSAT, an increase of 12 points from his first PE. Kyle also took Matt Riley’s class at UCLA — where he earned his undergrad degree. Kyle, who’s considering USC School of Law (gasp!), studied in Madrid during his senior year and wants to get into entertainment law. He also had a side bet with a buddy on who would get the higher LSAT score. Kyle beat him by a point. Go Kyle.

That’s it for now. Hopefully these four cases will inspire you as you prepare for your LSAT. At the very least, maybe now you’ll consider a purple mohawk on LSAT test day.

B) What’s going on with this NYU Law School trustee — or should I say, NYU Law School buckaroo? NYU Local.

C) Law school is nice, but don’t forget that going to business school or living in the woods is always an option. Above the Law.

D) George Washington University Law School set to launch a health care law and policy program. First on the agenda: Who do you sue when you injure yourself chopping down a cherry tree? National Law Journal.

E) Man shoots his son because of the way he was singing karaoke. See, this is why nobody should do karaoke drunk or sober. Daily Mail.

Isn’t actually an LSAT! Relatively few people take the LSAT, so they could probably get away with just throwing in an old GMAT or SAT, right? Would you really notice if you had to start answering questions about finding right angles? Maybe with all that pressure, you’d forget all about it, and none would be the wiser. WITH AN UNRELEASED TEST, WE’LL NEVER KNOW.

Includes secrets about the world to come! For years people have been saying that the February LSAT has prophetic properties. There were rumors that the 1912 LSAT had a question about an unsinkable ship hitting an iceberg and falling into the sea, and we all know what happened the following April. If the general public were to become aware of these prophecies, society would crumble. WITH AN UNRELEASED TEST, WE’LL NEVER KNOW.

Is made of bees! Still others think that the February isn’t printed on paper, but rather is made of live honeybees. Test-takers think that they’ll be answering multiple-choice questions, but are actually stung repeatedly by bees that harvest your blood for bloodhoney. Could it be true? YES IT IS TRUE. BRING BEE BALM AND TRY TO STAY CALM THROUGHT THE PROCESS.

And good luck!

B) Don’t spit out your Raisin Bran, but you’re not too old for law school. Careerist.

C) Richard Dawkins takes a critical look at the American judicial system and doesn’t once mention You-Know-Who. The Richard Dawkins Foundation.
