Hey so first relax. Breath and take a couple of days to collect yourself.
It is mid August. That gives you 3 and 1/2 months to study for this test. If you can dedicate significant time to studying your goal of a 170 is …

157 is a great diagnostic! I would first focus all my efforts on improving that score to the 170s within 7 months. Its definitely possible for you. Once you get that score, come back to us and we will read your palms …

I mean I think having the high LSAT is going to be a factor but I've seen and read about people with high gpas(4.0s) and high lsats (180s) still not getting into Ivy's. A lot of times this is because their overall applica…

Solid advice though!
Thanks!

Nothing will be more important than scoring high on the LSAT. This is especially true if you're planning on going straight to law school. I would put more time into that than trying to be involved in 4-5 clubs and tons of …

Hi there! I think your goal is realistic but it’s going to be a very tough time frame to do it in on top of your other commitments. I agree that it’d probably be better not to commit to a set number of house per day, just try…

Why are you disappointed by a 157 diagnostic? That's a 70th percentile score, and you haven't studied yet. Idk what you are studying, but tbh I don't see how 4 hours per day is realistic on top of overloading in college class…
Thank you all for the helpful input! I think I've settled on delaying it until mid September, though I was initially reluctant to do so because that would make repeating it in early December prevent me from applying early on (rolling admissions!) Bu…

A couple of thoughts...
As @"Seeking Perfection" said, above all guard your GPA. That's the best advice!
As far as your other questions, they are impossible to answer. Every single person has different strengths …

Hey, @lianaLAW ! It seems like you are kicking butt in undergrad and preparing yourself to be in a solid place post-graduation (be it law school or a job). While this is a bit of a different suggestion, I wanted to share some t…

I'm taking 6 classes right now, similar GPA to you. I did the same last semester. I studied for the LSAT last semester about 1-2 hours a day and was still able to get a 4.0 for that semester. It can be done. It's hard thoug…

I'm going to be completely honest with you. I work full time at the courthouse and I'm working to take the June test right now....I have the premium plan and it's hard. I try to watch a couple lessons in the morning before wo…

15 isnt a long shot,
I got a 23 point jump, it’s all a matter of how much you want it and are willing to work for it
that's encouraging! Do you mind sharing where you started and ended up, and how long you studied for an…

In case you haven't heard, there's a new additional test date on July 23, 2018! I hope this helps in your planning.
thanks for letting me know! Unfortunately it will only be offered in North America.
