How Tax Day is Like LSAT Test Day
There are only two certainties in this world — death and taxes. So far I’ve been successful at procrastinating on both.
But if things go according to schedule, I will have to file my tax return before April 17 (two days later this year because April 15 falls on a Sunday and April 16 is Emancipation Day in DC). I’m not too excited about it. Sure, I’ll receive a handsome refund, but no amount of money seems worth an hour of math-like activity.
In more ways than one (five ways, actually), doing your taxes is a lot like taking the LSAT. Since we’ve wasted enough time this year, let’s take a look:
HOW TAX DAY IS LIKE LSAT TEST DAY I: So Many Moneys
The IRS might be hooking you up with the funds for a new big screen, but don’t forget: You had to pay a pretty penny first.

LSAT Reading Comp Book Club V: Wrap-Up
Dan McCarthy is a veteran Blueprint LSAT Prep instructor. This is his final post in a series on improving one’s reading skills for the LSAT reading comprehension section.
We have finally reached the end of the first edition of the LSAT Reading Comp Book Club. My motivation in writing these posts has been to provide an answer to one of the most common questions my students ask me: What can I read to get additional practice for LSAT reading comprehension? If you’ve been reading these posts faithfully, you now have three solid starting points.
If you haven’t been reading them faithfully (tisk tisk), here’s your chance to catch up:

The Wait Begins for Law School Applicants with February LSAT Scores
So LSAC finally pulled the trigger and released February LSAT scores a day before they were expected to come out. Another curve ball, as LSAT test takers have become accustomed to LSAT scores being released several days early. Those folks in Newtown, PA, sure like to keep us guessing.
Some of you are understandably elated at your LSAT score. Some of you are understandably upset.
Some of you are way ahead of the game and already have an LSAT score for the upcoming law school application season (this article isn’t for you). Some of you are a little behind and are relying on this LSAT score to update your law school applications for next fall (this article is for you).

February 2012 LSAT Scores Released Today
At the buzzer…yes!
The mysterious, all-powerful beings behind the curtain at LSAC released the February 2012 LSAT scores today (about 10 minutes ago, in fact) — roughly 24 hours before their estimated release date. So wipe that sweat from your brow, LSAT students, and check your email and LSAC account, because although it came down to the wire, you can finally see how you did. But remember: LSAC sends out LSAT scores in random waves instead of all at once, so it takes several hours throughout the day for all LSAT scores to find their homes. Don’t try to convince yourself it isn’t random, either — as if scores are sent from highest to lowest. It’s. All. Random.
As you know, the February LSAT is undisclosed. So we won’t be able to help you out regarding the February 2012 LSAT curve.

What to Expect When LSAC Releases February LSAT Scores
A splendid Monday to those who took the February 2012 LSAT. It’s okay. No need to respond. Continue eating your sandwich. You may be interested to know that LSAC is scheduled to release LSAT scores this very week. You may also be interested to know that you’ll be receiving said LSAT score in one of a few ways.
The first way you can receive your February LSAT score is snail mail, but only if you pay for it. Which couldn’t be less worth it. After all, you’re reading this blog post on the interwebz. This is a strong indication that you have a computer (or at least access thereto) and thus have an account on the LSAC website. If you have an LSAC account, keep an eye on your email, for that is the source from whence your LSAT score shall come (I couldn’t turn down an opportunity to use “whence”).

Five LSAT-Related Things to Give Up for Lent
I confess: I’m no Catholic. I’m not even Greek Orthodox (yes, they have Lent too). But after all the quasi church-sanctioned debauchery that goes on during Mardi Gras, even this Jew gets in the Lenten spirit. So, without further ado, here are 5 LSAT-related sins to rid yourself of:
1. Convincing yourself that doing most of your homework is okay.
C’mon, kids. You know better. Do you know why you’re given a copy of every LSAT question ever released? So you can do every LSAT question ever released. Why, you ask, is this important? Put simply, if you’ve completed every LSAT question then the good folk at LSAC can’t throw anything at you that you haven’t seen. So suck it up and stop slacking.

The LSAT Hits the Red Carpet at the Oscars
The Academy Awards were last night. Some of you no doubt watched everything from the red carpet through the award for best picture. Others may have preferred the NBA All-Star game, leaving them to scour blogs to figure out what happened.
There’s no red carpet on LSAT test day (unless you provide it yourself — and if you intend to try this in June, please send us the resulting video), but that won’t stop us from imagining what kind of LSAT test takers that can be associated with the celebrities who turned the most heads (for better or worse).
Sacha Baron Cohen, who appeared in character as Admiral Aladeen to promote an upcoming movie, would fail to receive an LSAT score. He showed up sporting a complete military uniform, hat, and sunglasses and carrying an urn full of Kim Jong Il’s ashes.

6 Things You Can Do Now if Applying to Law School Next Year
Really? You’re already prepping for your law school applications for the 2013 school year? You realize some of your law school brethren are still getting out applications for 2012, right?
There’s a name for someone like you: Gunner. But you don’t care, because those people are just jealous, right?
Kidding aside, starting your law school application process this early is a great decision. While you won’t have a looming deadline to get you to finish that Personal Statement (which is something that motivates me like no other), you will have plenty of time to finish everything you need.
What are those things? What can you start now?
