@LSAT_Wrecker how often do you get massages? It sounds amazing and I considered it, but in the past I’ve gotten sick from massages. All the toxins being released and such.... drink lots of water! Good luck on Saturday, you’re going to wreck it!
I echo others responses. Ultimately, all you can do is start studying and see where you are at come November. I had a diagnostic of 155 and only improved 5 points after 3 months of studying full time. I did have a few 167+ PTs but it didn’t translat…
Most people I talk to have no idea how the LSAT is scored or what the scoring means. I imagine that is the case for a lot of people. What’s the point of lying? Especially when you get the question “did you pass?” After taking a practice test. And fo…
Remember the distinction between dedication and motivation. On any given day/week/month my motivation varies, but I stay dedicated and stick with my schedule. It’s true you need to listen to your body and have breaks, avoid burnout. I’m a strong bel…
What is your current PT score average? That should determine whether you should take the Sept test or postpone, not the $190 you spent on the test. You can call LSAC and ask them to change your test date, I've heard of them doing it for no fee recen…
This is the spreadsheet I mentioned. I didn't create it so I'm unaware of the calculation specifics.

This other projected law school debt/costs is also pretty great.

Try doing three passages only. Skip one if you read through it and it just doesn’t click. Or skip the one with the least questions. With that approach you’d be able to get ~20 right.
If that doesn’t seem to help, or you still feel rushed, do two pa…
I use the excel sheets posted by 7sage as well as a cost of attendance excel sheet with formulas someone posted a while back. I have a binder with the 509s printed out for my choices. I like to have an idea of how many students are getting scholarsh…
Schools have stipulations on Early Decision, if its a binding ED, then you forego scholarship negotiations and you can only apply to one binding program. NU does offer the 150K scholarship, however, it's not a full ride. Still 150K to NU would be gr…
I agree with all the slow down talk. Accuracy needs to come before speed. The thing with the "easy" questions is that you can read through the wrong AC often so quickly as to eliminate them. I work on crossing off the specific word or phrase that ma…
Apply early, and stick with studying. If your average PT score increases with PT tests taken after the July exam, I would say like 172/3 average, then consider a re-take. You can also email any schools you applied for and ask them to hold or process…

I'm guilty of doing it the first way. If you haven't gotten into the bad habit, don't. I just look at the score and I also see my percentage correct from each section sometimes. And it has affected my BR at times. I'll think to myself "I only missed…

I drink tea and read Tolstoy's Anna Karenina. Usually, by the time my tea is finished and I've read maybe 10 pages, I'm falling asleep. I use a book reading light so I don't have to get up to turn off the light. If/when I do have to get up for somet…

Take a deep breath! You have your bachelor's degree at the young age of 19, with a 3.66 GPA which is great! Your uGPA is fine for law school. You will have no problem getting into a T14 school, if that is your goal, as long as you do well on the LSA…
Do not take out any unnecessary loans. The only way it may make sense is if the loan is subsidized, which I don't believe grad school loans are. I have a 5500 undergraduate loan that was subsidized and 3.5%.... I got the loan in 2011 (I think) and t…

I hesitate to use those published statistics because the OP already has a respectable test score on file. For that reason, it might be uphill battle.

Yeah it's definitely not easy lol. The majority of people still get turned down.

Are the prep test books you are using from LSAC older ones? The current prep tests have large margins like the ones printed from 7sage. The amount of space depends on the newness of the test.
