This is what it's all about! Congrats man, and I can't wait to see what's next for you. Whatever it is, that score will ensure that it's something great!

please do not beat yourself up...the good news is you can retake and improve vastly from your last score.
I've been on the receiving end of a disappointing LSAT score, and this is very true. It didn't feel like it at the time…

Is it true that a high LSAT cannot compensate for a lower than average (based on school) GPA?
It is absolutely not true. If you get that 180, pretty much any school is going to try and find a way to work with you on the GPA. @"Nicol…
That's a good question, and I'm not really sure. My suspicion is that it would be better to allow it to stay on hold. If you take it off hold they will consider your application as is and make a decision based on whatever is on file. You want them t…
If you were born in the 90's, you're too young to be concerned about age;) Just kidding, I'm 31 and that was a big factor for me in making my decision about whether or not to delay a cycle last year.
I was in a very similar situation. If I had it t…
Work through the curriculum slow and steady. Then take another PT and use your performance on it to identify where your weaknesses are. The curriculum will give you plenty to do for now, so I wouldn't get any further ahead of myself than that until …
Yeah, they won't be concerned with this. That's a negligible margin, and is, in fact within the same "score band." They'll think you had a bad day on the December test. Like @Simbatron says, they really only look at your top score. That's all they h…
Not sure about that. To me, LR always seems to even out. I do remember 78 being particularly tough, but you don't want to use that for your 5th. I think you'd be okay with a random sampling or a retake, but if you do find info on this, let us know!
Yeah man, that's a great score. If you delay a cycle you're definitely going to have all the time you need to make the adjustments you need to break your target score.
Right on @zkchrumz , all the best!
@John1990 , definitely do not want to check between warm up and the test! If you want to, add it into your BR routine.
The only real answer to if six months is enough or not is "if six months is enough for you, six months is enough."
The likelihood of that depends a lot on your target score. If you're aiming for 150, then I'd say that for most people, six months wo…
LSAT goals: See all my students surpass me.
Non-LSAT: matriculate somewhere excellent, publish something, enjoy my final months before school takes over my life for the rest of my life!
Thanks for sharing Paul. I'm not even waiting on scores, but I somehow feel better! Your story is really inspiring and you're going to do great. It's awful hard to beat a person that never gives up.
I went about it the other way around. I study best at night, but I adapted my schedule for mornings since the test is in the morning. If that's when you study best, great! Take advantage of that. Try to go through your whole morning routine and "rep…
I've known some people to do this, and I think it's fine. I always gave myself full time though and just understood that my score would be a little inflated. When I did recognize a question, I made myself work all the way through it and achieve a BR…
When I was just finishing the curriculum, I still really sucked at taking the LSAT. It took me a long time PTing before I got good at this. You're still in the early phases of studying, so there is still lots of room to grow.
Yeah @bswise2 , by the end, my official score didn't matter as much to me. Obviously, the official score is all that matters to admissions, but I think this test becomes personal to a lot of us in a way that extends way beyond that. Regardless of ho…
Don't worry, your anxiety is pretty much standard. I was borderline physically ill the entire time during my wait, lol.
If this is your first time, keep in mind that the moment your scores are available you'll get an email notifying you. Your score…
