@beerpub16 said: Should I explain this in an addendum or will the Admissions Committee review my transcripts and disregard it since its a foreign language and has little to do with my ability to succeed in law school? If I should write an addendum,…

@Connor180 said: Its hard for me to work in silence for too long. When I do listen to music I feel like I can get more work overall in. In undergrad I almost never studied without blasting music and this helped me pretty consistently pull off 6- 8-…

@lawschoolstuff16 said: If you select the 'course' tab on the top of your page, you can find an option that says 'study schedule.' Go there, and then select the package you bought + the test date you're aiming for and it will create a schedule for …

@julsnet2 said: 1) Early decision increases your chance to get into that law school, correct? 2) A big decision on which law school to go to is scholarships. If I wanted to go to Harvard hypothetically, and did early decision there and I got in, …

@onecallthatsall said: I am finishing up my law school resume and wondering if it is entirely necessary to put how many hours per week that position was? I feel like it would be helpful for the reader, but it makes the Resume look cluttered and not…

@"El Duderino" said: @"Alex Divine" for sure man. The thrill from Lsat is unmatched. The dude The dude has spoken! haha Love that movie btw haha

@lawschoolstuff16 said: This 100%. I've personally spoken with a lot of candidates at NYU/Yale who got in about their repeat LSAT scores and I haven't talked to anyone who scored less than 165 on a take. Yeah, exactly! Which worries me because I r…

@"Fin_de_Siecle" said: Can you expand just a bit on what sources/information do you base this statement on? I couldn't find any validation for this apparent preference but of course you guys might have more data/anecdotal evidence than I do to supp…

@"DEC_LSAT" said: hahaha you're special i actually enjoyed the writing sample on the dec test! when i looked around, i could see ppl have stopped caring/writing but i kept going cause why not. LMAO. To be honest, I'll probably never do another on…

@"Fin_de_Siecle" said: Bottom line is that I'm sure it was not within my target range, and I'm just worried that having something like that on record will significant hurt my chance for T6 even if the February score is good enough. Outside of Y, i…

I have heard almost every admissions consultant say it is helpful! If you have the opportunity, do take advantage!

@jennilynn89 said: @"Alex Divine" Absolutely! I know there are a lot of people on here who share the same struggle (delaying 2 years or more). Thanks again, and good luck to you too!! Yup! Count me in that group! Thank you

@jennilynn89 said: So I think instead I may just roll with whatever score I get, see what kind of acceptances and scholly's I can get, and if I can't get as much as I like, or in any of the school's I'd like to go to, I'm probably going to swallow…
-
So as others have said, if you can increase your score by even 1-2 points, February is worth it. Like @danielznelson said, you could use it for scholarship negotiation. 1-2 points could be the difference between 20k and 50k of scholarship money! Tak…

@mk940808 said: Idk if it's Stockholm syndrome or what but I kinda miss the LSAT. You wouldn't believe how many people end up missing this test. I think it might be partly Stockholm syndrome, but I think we genuinely start to enjoy this test in so…

I haven't taken the real exam yet, but a bunch of my friends who did are using this downtime to finish up apps and hang out with friends, going to bars, seeing movies.. Basically doing stuff they didn't do while prepping

@"Stevie C" said: I stopped 2/3 of the way through the second page I have NOT taken the real LSAT yet. But on my diagnostic, I did the writing sample just because haha. I believe I filled up the same amount as Stevie. But like others have said, do…

I agree with the others above. It sounds like you are experiencing normal post-test nerves. I honestly wouldn't cancel if I were you. I bet you did a lot better than you think...

Definitely going to try this "Spreeder" figure it can't help! Thank you for sharing your story @Lnanncampbell !

@BinghamtonDave said: So now the core issue here. There are really no silver bullets on this exam. Very, very true. Best bet is to return to the lessons on most/some/other quantifiers and re-do the quizzes daily until they are second nature! Re…

It really depends on how you are writing and structuring your PS. There's no rule book, but you want to make sure that is draws the reader in. Admissions officers are said to read these in the hundreds, so make sure you catch and hold their attentio…

I wouldn't cancel. To me, it seems like you are just experiencing normal post-test waiting nerves. I bet you did a lot better than you expected!

@DumbHollywoodActor said: thanks. Congrats !!!!

All the parents on here are very inspiring to me! Although I am not a parent, I do work full-time, and to know that many of you are working AND raising a family makes motivates me to give this prep my all! Thank you And good luck

I've been finding timed sections with a mix of targeted drilling to be helpful. Also, just re-watching the CC lessons for question types I miss have proved to be one of the best uses of my time!
