@"Alex Divine" That is really helpful. Thank you. Do you recall where you heard this? Was it a podcast or webinar or something?
No problem! I'm fairly certain I read that in a book. I believe it was Ann Levine's admissions …

Thanks for the info @"Alex Divine" and @uhinberg
I've been wondering whether or not to just take September to get a good idea of what I'll be facing on test day. I'm glad I read this thread before it was too late.
Al…
I often read on here some variation of people saying that multiple scores don't matter much. I've skimmed through about 4 law school admissions books, worked with a top LS consulting service, and I can assure you, regardless of whether schools avera…

Thanks for the input everyone. I'm leaning towards pushing back now. Gonna do my best up until week of though to make sure. To clarify, a "cancellation" means sitting for the test and cancelling afterward--not simply decid…
First, I just want to say, I wholeheartedly agree with @uhinberg. Couldn't have said it better myself.
To answer your question, it's hard to know just how much they consider it. There's probably an incredible amount of variables that come into play…
I wouldn't make my decision ahead of time until I've talked to people for the different options and can sort of get a sense of how enthusiastic they are about writing the letter. I'm inclined to say that the one from the professor your TA'd for may …
@kjsmith914 said:
Same exact boat you are. I'm wondering if I should sit for the test and retake, or withdraw given that I don't feel ready.
How bad does a cancellation really look?
I forgot who said this, but one of the prominent admissi…

Thanks @"Alex Divine" , iv been at this test for a long time. But i want to confidentily feel that i have mastered everything that i do.
No problem! If I could give you any advice for that, as someone that has also …

So, I plan on applying this cycle. However, I've come to the realization that I haven't really connected with any of my professors. I've always gotten pretty good grades in college, but haven't ever really gone to my professor…

Was wondering how people go about squeezing every question for all that it can teach.
Great question!
Something JY advocates is to take all the wrong answer choices for a question and practice making them correct. …

How do you guys propose doing this kind of warm up strategy on test day? How easy/stressful is it to bring a couple of sections into the testing center to look over and do before going into the testing room?
Don't believe you…

Not sure if there is correlation.... but Ive been scoring terrible on RC and the past few tests I have been making very few marks and reading the passages clear through and my score has increased an average of 5 points.

@uhinberg Hell as much prep as I've done I don't care if I piss myself on test day as long as I get a good score.
Amen! Adult diapers as previously mentioned might not be a bad idea.
@"marvin.dike" said:
Just like every other section you have to go into RC with a plan. A plan that you've put into play on PT's over and over and over and are comfortable with.
Here's a big point I forgot to emphasize enough. You can't jus…
They actually had my testing site! Awesome! Apparently everyone there says they had more than enough space and comfortable chairs. Also because I'm taking it at my alma matter I know now that they are in the lecture halls!

Hi everyone! I've been studying for the LSAT this past month. My diagnostic score was a 162. I'm aiming for above a 170. Currently, I'm scoring in the mid to upper 160s. Only once have I scored a 170 under timed …
@nathanieljschwartz My old roommate used to take nootropics like Alpha Brain instead of coffee that used to work well for him. It's one less extreme option to try. Though the use of pre-workout seems pretty interesting but intense!
