Generally, I would say that the higher ranked school is the better choice. That's assuming that the difference in ranking is at least somewhat substantial. If you're picking between two schools that are only separated by one or two places, then by a…

I think this is totally fine! This stuff gets tedious sometimes and if background music helps you put more time and focus in, then I think that's great. And since you're not using it on PT or anything like that I don't think it'll cause any harm.

I'm surprised to see Georgetown! Not that it isn't a great school, just not what I would expect
-
I think that you always need to be cognizant of the premise-conclusion relationship. Without a premise, a conclusion isn't a conclusion- it's just a statement. For something to be a conclusion it has to be supported by other statements (the premises…

Definitely take it with a grain of salt. There is value in redoing them as the above commenter said, but it is not representative of true testing conditions. I would only retake PTs for 1) drilling and 2) as a last resort if you run out of PTs

Gap years can look really good for law school if you're being productive, but gaps in your resume are not good. I don't think that serving in the military or having an internship is a gap. Those are both productive jobs and you were actively doing s…
-
First of all, it's really good that you were able to recognize what you needed to do (postpone) to get the best score you can, but way more importantly, to do the best thing for your physical and mental health. Ten or twelve hours a day is way too m…

One thing that I would recommend (as someone who took September and is also retaking in November) is to make sure that you’re PTing under strict conditions. No extra time for bubbling, use a scantron sheet, take at least one 5 section test
-
If you're at a 137, you're missing a lot of the fundamental understanding that you need for this test. I second what the others have said about the curriculum.
-
November will be my second take. I scored a 169 in September, so I'm aiming for a few points higher this time around. I feel like it's totally doable and completely impossible at the same time. A month seems like so much time and like no time at all…

I think that you can keep a lot of the elements that you like (good spacing, easy to read) while toning it down a bit to match the standard format. Your résumé isn't the place to get fancy in a law school app.

If you're right about your October LSAT, you'll be a splitter for Cornell but likely still a high reach for NYU. I think that an ED to Cornell would give you a really good chance. But: you'll already have a chance at Cornell regardless of ED, wherea…

Before September I was doing only 4 section PTs. This time around I decided to add an extra game section to foolproof at the end so that I can kill two birds with one stone. I didn’t really feel like the four sections only hurt me too much, but I di…

I think that this is a situation where it’s a good idea to write the addendum. Focus on that upward curve and the injury. I think you can pull it off without sounding like you’re making excuses
-
Yeah, unfortunately you broke the rules. It might not have felt like cheating but the proctors were doing their jobs by giving you the gold slip. I’d agree with the above advice to write an addendum
-
It's better to take it fewer times, and if you know you're not going to score how you want then it's best to postpone. I think this is especially true since you're already okay/expecting to take it in November and maybe even January. Ultimately, you…
-
Yeah that's a really not good idea. They will see all scores. Are you saying that from now until the test you will not study at all? Or that you haven't up until now? If you diagnostic well and aren't aiming for a big improvement then the month or s…
-
I think that writing about environmental law/why you want to study it is a great idea, specifically because your resume and degree back that up,
-
Are the questions you're still missing after BR questions that were circled or uncircled? I'm in basically the same boat as you right now. I think that if you aren't already doing this, then writing down an explanation for the questions you got wron…

Thanks for sharing this!
-
Does anyone thing that there will be an unfair advantage for digital takers whose tests are being compared to those who took the paper test? Because bubbling takes less time on the digital one?
-
Your LSAC GPA is every course you've taken until you completed your first bachelor's degree. So, your GPA for the sake of law school applications is 2.5. I'm not sure if Canadian schools are different, but that's how it is in the U.S. I think that y…

@"Adam Hawks" I definitely agree about the analytics. My thinking was that foolproofing could get another eight or so questions on LG and then the remaining few could be scooped up in the other sections. Of course this only works if you're missing a…
-
I think it's best to hit each section every day. Even if it's just one RC passage, a handful of LR questions, and then the rest of your time focused on LG (as one example). You have to be comfortable switching between the sections, and you don't wan…
-
If you're applying this cycle, I would still take in November. I think that a 6-7 point increase is pretty reasonable, especially because in the 150s you can really benefit from just a bit of foolproofing and even something like a good skipping stra…
-
Hi! I am in the same situation. My goal is to score about five points higher than my September score. There are a few things that I'm doing: 1) I'm trying to be really honest with myself about where I could have done better in my prep. I feel prett…
-
I'm not gonna lie, I'm probably not going to review the test for a while (if at all). I think at this point I'm still too emotionally invested in the score to see it as just another PT and so I'll end up kicking myself and getting upset about mistak…
-
Haha that's my bad! Good luck!
-
This is an honor 7sage, thank you! ❤️

If your problem is that your score dropped with the newer tests, then I don't think taking old tests is the answer (even if they're fresh). I re read your original post, and if I understand correctly, you still have the 80s preptests that are untouc…
