I know you already posted an update, but just want to encourage you too. If you are PTing 167-171, then 164 is not the best you can do. You should re-take until your official score shows your actual ability. Although if you for sure want to hit 170,…

Hi there! Don't mean to be a debbie downer, but it's really tough to make significant improvement in just 3 weeks. You're going to need to be really careful to not burn out too. This test is just not friendly to cramming. That said, I know we all h…

That's awesome, congratulations!! That's a fantastic score and improvement. Thank you so much for sharing your story with all of us. Can't wait to see what school you end up at.

I really think you should go ahead and take the July test. If it helps any, my PTs were similar to yours and I got a 168 in December and then a 164 on this one. Ouch. Sometimes, freak things just happen on tests. I know it's "conventional wisdom" th…

It’s almost time! We’re inching closer to gray day. Since this is my 2nd time around and, luckily, I’m happy with my first score, I’m having so much less anxiety waiting. But for those of you who are about to lose your minds: deep breaths. Most peop…

Yeah I was cut from the wait list on the 15th, hah. I don’t know if anyone got in off WL this year... pretty rough.

I don’t think there’s any rule against it, but the proctors definitely are not consistent in how things are enforced. So even if it’s allowed, there’s a small chance a proctor would tell you it’s not. I dunno though, I’m with the crowd of saying th…

Some schools will only allow for a deferral with extenuating circumstances. It varies by school according to their policies. You should call admissions and ask them about a deferral.

I have no idea what you are talking about? Hahaha. What do you mean? Where?

Any grades after earning your first bachelor’s are not considered, including graduate school. Any college grades leading up to the 1st bachelor’s are included though, from any college attended and including any college credit obtained while in high …

I'd say about 9-10 points improvement for me. There's lots of things you can do besides just PTs. I highly highly recommend you watch this webinar video: https://classic.7sage.com/webinar/post-core-curriculum-study-strategies/ Most people do a mix…

Super late because I went to a baseball game right after the test, haha. But, checking in. Agree with the curve being -10/-11 range. It felt on the easier side but I don't think as far as -9. Then again, it's so hard to tell. Your perception really …

I would think it'd be ok (you could say it's part of your "snack" haha) but I wouldn't chew it in the room and wouldn't hurt to take out of the wrapper as mentioned.

T14 is not out of the question, but splitter cycles are always really unpredictable. You should plan on applying to a wide range of schools. If you are set on going to law school, there are good scholarships to be had in the T20 as well. I'd do a lo…

I think they just say that because they want it to be a recent photo. If your appearance hasn’t drastically changed, I think you’re fine. (Honestly, I think mines a little older han 6 months too but I forgot to switch it out, whoops!) I really doubt…

25 is a pretty average age. I think 25-26 is the average age of incoming 1Ls at most law schools. I also don't think there's a hard and fast rule. Likely anyone 30 and over would be considered in that category. 28-29 might be a gray area.

I think it generally implies that, yes. But would need to be taken in context of the stimulus. Like for an example that might illustrate what folks are saying above, think about elections. Often the result is something like winning candidate has 47…

It really depends on a lot of factors. Where are you starting from (diagnostic score) and where you want to end up (goal score). And everyone is different on how long it takes you to improve. It’s not really something you can predict very much, but …
