@SA135790 said: if that is the mindset you carry going into this test, you have already set yourself up with a bigger disadvantage than the lack of money ever could. Just wanted to say that I agree with this bottom line. I just thought Nicole's in…

@nicole.hopkins I don't doubt that, and I agree with you, if we assume the person who pays the tutor does not put in the due diligence. All things equal,however, I don't see how a tutor wouldn't have some benefits to the test taker. Also, I think th…

@nicole.hopkins I agree with you, but @nweymouth isn't completely wrong with that statement. Sure, you (and a lot of us really) have been able to improve greatly without spending hundreds of dollars monthly. But would I give myself a better chance w…

I'm sure only a very small number of us at this site, if any at all, actually believe the LSAT is a test worthy of the consideration it gets in the admissions committee. You hear about paralegals who would make great lawyers who simply can't break t…

@sami.adhik I assume that the reason @"GSU Hopeful" asked you your LG score is because it is the easiest section to improve in a short span of time, because its simply about practicing making inferences. In your case, looks like you have bigger trou…

The answer to your question is YES. Of course it's possible. Is it likely? That depends on your circumstances, such as your current scores, how you study, etc. I know its hard not to think about where you want to be, but if you're sure you're taki…
-
I'm not sure if you're burnt out or not, only you truly know that. What I can say from my experience is that the LSAT is different from most other tests in that merely the amount of "work put in" does not necessarily equate to an "increase in scores…
-
It's hard to say without looking at how clear your answer sheet indicates an erasure, but yes. I would say there is no harm in requesting a hand score in that case.

Is retaking in December out of the question? I ask because based on what you're saying, it is more probable than not that your December test will be in the 170's. If that will be your third take however, I'd be more cautious. If you're aiming for "t…

Apply! In the long run, $100 isn't worth enduring the nagging feeling of "What if" that will haunt you the rest of your life. It seems that Stanford is your absolute top choice, so one Hail Mary (lets just call it what it is) never hurts, especially…
-
@Hibiscus You have several options, and no one can definitely tell you which is the right way to go. However, I would suggest you retake. Whether you do that in December or take a year off will depend on a lot of things. Whatever the case, if your…
-
Agree with the statements above. I would also suggest carefully reviewing the test you took to see if most of the points you missed were in fact due to the unexpected personal issues you had to deal with. Basically, you would want to know (though I …
-
I agree with everyone else. At this point, I don't see the point in retaking. If your first choice was Harvard, perhaps it may be different. With Stanford (or Yale for that matter), I don't know if 173~5 will make that much of a difference. Focusing…
-
@badgalriri This may not be what most people will recommend, and its based on my personal experience so take it if you will. For me, I actually relied on PTing much more than most people here say. I PT'ed about 4 or 5 a week, blind reviewed that nig…

In case anyone might be in the same boat as I am, LSAC offers refunds for the additional fee paid for late registration if we have a score from October, thus proving that we were late as a result of waiting. I suppose this won't matter to those who …
-
@nicole.hopkins Yeah, many things I once viewed as WTF make sense once I make the assumption that they want to make more money. @GordonBombay Thanks for the input. You're right, and I have decided to retake as well. However satisfied I may be with …
-
@allergic @Pacifico Thanks guys! And yes, I agree that even a 2+ on the lsat scores is well worth the conceding the early application. I'm just leaning towards not needing that second score, and only registering as a safety in case i didn't do well …
-
@harrismegan yeah. I thought LSAC could have done a better job in scheduling it so that October takers would at least know their results before regular deadline for December. Then again, they would miss out on all the late registration fees they wil…
-
I know @Pacifico often says that October is for admission, December is for scholarship money. I would assume you would know how this usually works.
-
Thank you for the clarification guys. I naively thought T14 simply meant Ranks 1-14. Makes more sense now.
-
Makes sense that the higer the ranking the greater the chances at big law firms but back to my question, whats the significance of 14?? or is that just a common reference bearing no significance
-
@pizzaqueen Perfect! Thanks. Yeah, I'm gonna take it to my local watch repair and just take care of it there if it isn't too costly rather than have to deal with the stress of waiting on the delivery. Just double checking, we are allowed to place …
-
@nicole.hopkins Yeah, I'll look into that first thing. Thanks

@milly_me No, I plan on purchasing them separately. Apparently Amazon has them on sale as individual test booklets.
