The LSAT grade system is certainly a little messed up.
But any classes at undergraduate institutions before your first bachelor's degree is awarded count including classes taken at a community college and those taken during high school, A+'s count …

I think the best thing to do probably depends on hoe you are planning to use your personal statement.

I don't see any reason not to foolproof. Foolproofing is how you get those 9 points back for sure.
After that you should drill LR based on the question types you missed. If you didn't already, input the answers from before the blind review into the…

Your dreams should not be crumbling unless they are really time sensitive. Schools might not like too many takes in the abstract. However, their incentive to look only at the highest score when ma…

I was struggling with math too. It was infuriating, but people kept telling me it was learnable. And it was, but I …
I think schools say that they don't just take the highest score because they want to look reasonable. It doesn't really make sense to take the highest score from the stand point of getting the best applicants. If you think of the LSAT as an aptitude…

Just calm down. One of my last several PTs was a big drop too. I was PTing mainly between 176 and 178 retaking a 172. I got a 168 on one of my last PTs. I freaked out a little, calmed down took it as a chance to go back over some concepts and then g…
Congratulations! It's always good to see another person prove the LSAT tests skills which are learnable.
If someone failed a math test we wouldn't tell them that they probably only have a maximum potential of getting a D. We would say it is going t…

There are classes, but they are generally not considered worthwhile and they are not specifically for people with low GPAs and LSATs. They are not run by schools, but by private companies which is part of why they are expensive and not usually consi…
I think its probably the pressure your putting on yourself or just bad luck. If it's luck there is nothing you can do other than hope for better luck on the real thing. If the pressure from it being your last PT and in the real setting is dropping y…

Unless you have thoroughly used up all the PTs (and even then you can always go back through them) I think they are probably usually the best source to practice with.
You don't need to be familiar with anthropology or archeology unless you want to.…
As noted above, you can simulate the extra time and longer breaks and see if they help.
The one factor I can think of other than having a different proctor would be that you would not be in the room with all the other people. Usually I would think …
I did 1-35 in order the first 15 or so sections by individual game and then by sections. After that I just did them after I did that game in a PT. I thought the main advantage of going in order was just that it was easy as far as organization. I pla…

Do they check your pockets for things not on the list of allowed items before entering the test center? I don't plan on accessing anything, I just need them with me. There are a lot of things that aren't on the allowed list.

Isn't the GMAT mainly for business? I imagine this will mostly be a thing for dual JD MBA students.
I'm not sure why it would be a big deal for STEM majors. I assume they could do fine on it or the GRE. Either way it's basically sort of tough high …

I wouldn't take more than one or maybe two PTs in the last week and I would try to keep those near the weekend before the test. I would review said PT over the course of the week and study, but probably less than normal especially if travelling.

Why would you take it? Bad scores don't hurt much since schools mainly look at the highest one but they don't help. And there is no way that a year of study doesn't leave you substantially better prepared than you are right now.
