I retook a 172 for a 180 last cycle. Those were my only two takes though so I can't offer personal experience with whether a high mumber of takes actually matters. However it is my sense which I believe the number on Law School Numbers bear out tha…

Water. This isn't a sporting event(I'm not recommending gatorade for sporting events, but I'm not not recommending it then either. Maybe it replaces some electrolytes or something?). This however is the LSAT. Why would you want a big sugar rush fol…

You could have gotten better at the test, gotten lucky with guesses, had the test play to your strengths or simply had a good day. The only way to tell if the improvement is real is to take more. It is certainly a good sign though. Congratulations! …

If your PTs are between 167 and 171 you don't have a ceiling of 164. You should retake again.

I wouldn't worry about it. Especially with games, mostly just ignore him. It sounds like you are still getting something out of the rest of the class so I wouldn't stop going, but 7sage definitely has the best games methods and they are working for …

I did it with every LR Question I missed either before or after blind review. However, I just took pictures with my cell phone rather than cutting them out. I then scrolled through these in my spare time. I didn't do it at all in LR or Logic Games.…

That sounds about like how I felt most of the time. Blind review should help some by letting you really focus in on those twenty or so questions with unlimited time before grading them. Over time with enough blind reviewing and drilling that increa…

I'd take it. I'd also schedule a November or December take. Then I would do my best on the first shot apply with that score(hopefully it's higher than your 165 which is already pretty good) in Septemberish when you get back and then study hard for y…

It takes hard work and time to move a score up significantly, but it isn't magic. People do it all the time. And you can be one of them.
-
There is no point at which you are going to be worse off getting a new higher highest score. A few schools may not like 4 takes quite as much as getting the highest score on one take, but they are still going to like it a lot more than three takes a…

@Broccoli180 said: @"Seeking Perfection" I thought you had to write an explanation if your scores are 15 points different from your previous one... Some schools ask for one. I asked all the schools I applied to whether to write one or not a…

I think somewhere in the 60s or 70s they added the rule replacement logic games questions. Those were the main difference for me.

I considered the whole imposter thing more in the opposite sense. I'm coming straight from a state school. My parents are middle to maybe upper middle class. So at my Top 14, I'm going to be surrounded by people obviously from closer to the elite th…
-
I mostly just dreamed about doing logic games. I figured it was good. It was as close as I could get to studying in my sleep. But I guess it could have been stress.
-
I'd mention it, but try not to make it the main focus. You do want to do everything possible to convince them you want to attend which includes telling them they meet a criteria for you their competitors don't. On the other hand, you also want to …

It doesn't matter. The only good reason to cancel would be if you think you might lose your mind and apply with your likely low 160's score when you could get one in the 170's. The good reason to not cancel is the unlikely chance you randomly guesse…
-
My advice would be quality over quantity in your PTing. When you take each PT you want to blind review it thoroughly which it seems like you are doing a solid job of. You also want to analyze where you made errors and why. Few mistakes are ever real…

@FixedDice Those same two thought ran through my mind. @MGuFutureJD University of Michigan @"surfy surf" If you have a scholarship that is a fixed value you lose money since tuition will go up and your scholarship won't. But maybe they would b…

That is an amazing increase! Congratulations, and good luck!

Yeah, it is that big of a deal. The main reason is because the cost of law school is close to the same across the board. If you are going $150,000 to $300,000 in debt you are either going to need a high salary or a phenomenal LRAP which you will li…

I took it twice and have not heard of such a thing. The June 2009 test is free and attached below. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://www.lsac.org/docs/default-source/jd-docs/sampleptjune.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwj…

I'd probably wait as long as you can to see if you will be ready for September.
-
If you do take it, you get a little experience and the small chance of a lucky high score. The cost is that you have a lower score on your record which can't help, but won't hurt much since schools focus on the highest score and might lower your con…

Switch tutors. He sounds mean and unhelpful. But definitely take way more than one practice exam. Additionally, if you are struggling with games, you need to start foolproofing as many of them as you can. Most people foolproof the logic games from…
