I think you still have a pretty solid shot if you get your application in by the end of the month. It's better to get them in as early as possible, but at this point, you can't go back and change things so there's no use in worrying about what if yo…

It's helpful if you can remember that you don't have to understand the science behind the passage. You have to understand the arguments, the points of view, and the structure, but it's not a science quiz. All of the information you need is on the pa…
-
I see that you have the starter 7sage course. Have you gone all the way through the CC? Watching/absorbing all the videos? I don't think that re-reading books with various approaches is really going to be helpful for a last minute push. What are you…

Powerscore usually does predictions on what will be on future LSAT's and they're relatively accurate (at the end of the day it's always a guess, but they make VERY educated guesses and have analyzed all of the trends and stuff)
-
Definitely! It's not like you're for sure going to drop. Lots of people score right at their average and some people have really great test days. I don't think it's unreasonable to aim for 170 at all! Good luck!
-
I think that it's possible to get a 170 but it's also possible that you'll get a 165 (and quite frankly, more likely). I would definitely not take AND BR a test every day. That's a recipe for burnout. Instead, do one or two PTs a week and drill your…
-
Are you planning on taking all three of those LSATs? I would revise that if I were you. Don't plan on taking it over and over til you get the score you want. Plan on taking it when you're ready.
-
What was your studying like prior to the November test? With the January test being less than three weeks away, you're unlikely to make big gains (especially in reading comprehension).
-
If the school you went to has some sort of writing lab or career center, they are often willing to help alums. That would solve the issue of being too close to your readers like @LSAT_Wrecker mentioned
-
Yeah I wouldn't want to go through the additional stress of submitting applications on the deadline and getting your score back all at once.
-
First of all, welcome! I would try not to rush through the CC. Take two or three months to go through it and really understand all of the material rather than passively watching the videos. After the CC, it might take several practice tests before y…

I agree with the above. At the end of the day, your number is your number and that's what they report for rankings, but between two 3.25s the one with the upward trend is better than one who flatlined
-
I would include it so as to avoid a significant "gap" in your resume. You don't want it to seem like you haven't been doing anything since you graduated.
-
The list above seems like a pretty good guideline! I don't think there are hard cutoffs though, and if there's a super reach that you REALLY would love to go to, shoot your shot even if the percentage is like ten percent and not twenty, etc.
-
Okay, so...this doesn't really answer your question, but I absolutely refused to BR or look at the September test. I knew I wanted to retake, but because of who I am as a person (lol) it would have been worse for me to really look over the test beca…
-
Just one more data point, but my school reopens its offices on the third.
-
Ooh that's a tricky question. My guess is that they would still expect you to hold up your end, but you's have a decent argument against it. As of today they're only five days late. I would follow up again on Friday (when it's been a whole week) to …
-
I do think that if you're going the Biglaw route, time will be difficult the first few years. Other than that, I don't think it will be too much different than other careers.
-
By family friendly, do you mean one that will let you have a family...? Like, reasonable work hours?
-
I’ve heard good things about the book Getting to Maybe (it’s about how to do well on law school exams)
-
Are all medians going up, or just ones at the top schools? I’ve heard a lot of conflicting things about this. Some people have said that medians are going down. Is there a good source that compiles this info?
-
Honestly, it's not enough. It takes 2-3 months to go through the core curriculum, and then at least a few months of PTing. A fifteen point increase takes a lot of people a year or more. It's not impossible- you might be super gifted with the LSAT an…

WAY TO FREAKIN GO!!!!!
-
No problem! I do think that a polished application in January is much better than a haphazard application in December, so if you need to take a little bit more time for polishing definitely do so!
-
I wouldn't say that it's late or early. December is still "on time," and January is starting to get a little bit on the later side. It's sort of the cusp.
-
Congratulations! I wouldn't be concerned. They probably call at the same time as when they send out physical acceptances and they just take a little longer.
-
Some people do experience plateaus, but they aren't permanent. I'm not saying that everyone can score a 180 or a 175 or even a 170, but if you're scoring a 160ish after only a couple of months, I have no doubt in my mind that you can get to high 160…
-
I would definitely wait. A few months is really hardly any time when it comes to studying for the lsat. In my opinion, if you don't give yourself a fair shot at getting to the upper 160s/170s, you're wasting the potential of your amazing gpa. You wo…
-
Tons and tons of people on here (myself included) studied for more than a year. As long as you take care of yourself and take breaks when you need to, you should be able to combat burnout

An MS is going to be a soft factor but not a super amazing one. LSAT scores are good for five years.
