I want to encourage all of you. I had the same issue. (My friend had a similar issue with the October test for which the server crashed in Section 4 and he was given the opportunity for a free retake several days later.)
Because I knew this happe…

Hola all I'm Mark I got a 169 in October and had around 20 apps ready to fire away as soon as I got my test results back. I'd like to share my results so far as well as some waitlist management advice. I've been obsessing about…
I applied recently and am still awaiting responses. So please take my suggestion with a grain of salt.
Reading your post, my thought is if I were you, I would tell them your story and try to negotiate. What I would do is use what you said above, …

I think you missed my point that the ratio of high scores to applicants only gives you half the equation. Not everyone who takes the test and scores high applies.
If 1,000 people in an average year (this is only an e…

More high score applications does not mean more people getting a certain score on a given LSAT. Think of it like an LR problem you're trying to solve. What assumptions are you making?

For what it's worth, I did this. (I didn't let them know I would withdraw other apps though; conversely, I implied I am applying to other comparable schools.)
Not sure yet how it will go..…

I feel this "high scoring bubble" will deflate since an experimental section is being added. But according to Spivey the medians of most schools will be increasing by a point or two for sure.
Well I think this all boil…

Also, another question, how could it be possible that I scored in the 84th percentile with only a 162? According to my back of the envelope calculation, on average this cycle, a 162 should be closer to the 64th percentile. Would that just mean tha…

With all these seemingly different versions of sections floating around, how in the world do they come up with the scaled score that pieces them all together fairly???
Hi, I am in the same boat (if not a worse boat) then you, as in, I am even slower on the LG. So take my advice with a grain of salt. However, I will tell you what is helping me drastically speed up over the last few problem sets.
That would be, t…
I'm in the Same Boat. Don't panic. What helped me so far is that I have a graph of my test results over time, and I clicked "trendline" for the graph (Google Docs), and the overall trend is up. Even though certain results are terrible here and th…
Wow, thank you so much for all the thoughtful replies. This community is really supportive. I could only wish I didn't find it only a few days before my retake! (And can only hope that I don't need another retake after that, which possibly means …
