Good luck to everybody taking the upcoming LSAT! Get lots of sleep the night before, and more importantly give yourself a nice breakfast (even if you have to kind of shove it down). 
Also, be prepared to celebrate by going to Anderson’s or Duff’s or somewhere like that as reward for your months of preparation and hard work!
The Law School Admission Council is introducing some changes to the LSAT:
Beginning with the June 2007 administration, LSAC will introduce a variant of reading comprehension, called comparative reading, as one of the four sets in the LSAT reading comprehension section. In general, comparative reading questions are similar to traditional reading comprehension questions. However, there is one significant difference: instead of being based on one longer passage, comparative reading questions are based on two shorter passages.
Pre Law Society meets today (Thursday, November 16th) at 5:30 in room 213. If you have questions contact the President.
