Some more information would be helpful- have you studied at all? What is your goal score for September/October and what are you scoring now (if you have taken any practice tests)? Generally, the easiest section to make quick gains on is logic games,…

@"Better every day" I was going to say the exact same thing about stamina. Alternatively, if is always the first one that’s lower, you might benefit from a warm up before you PT
-
Yes, definitely!
-
One strategy is to do an extra logic games section so that you can foolproof at the same time as PTing. It is important to do five section tests at least a couple times, but I typically stick with four section tests for practice. If you feel like st…

It depends on your GPA. Check out MyLSN, they have scholarship graphs that are pretty helpful. I think for big scholarships, one of your numbers should be at or above median and the other should be around the 75ths. It really varies a ton though
-
As long as you follow the instructions, that's the most important part. It's a more valuable use of your time to study the scored portions of the LSAT than to worry too much about the writing sample. Admissions knows that it's not going to be your b…

You'll get to see your LSAC GPA after they've received all of your transcripts and you've paid for CAS. I have my transcripts in, but since I haven't paid for CAS yet I don't have an LSAC GPA. To echo the above advice, it's better to do things ahead…

Any PTs that you have on 7sage, you can take electronically! Just go to the "score LSAT" section and select to take it electronically
-
I think it's a great idea to visit! A school that you're "meh" about right now might turn out to be wonderful, while a school that seems great for you may fall flat in person. As far as who to talk to, I would let the admissions offices know ahead o…

Scores will be released throughout the day. Not everyone will get there scores at the same time. FWIW, both times that I took the test I got my scores back mid/late morning.
-
If you are comfortable with the amount of time you have left, I would take a little bit of extra time when you see questions you know you have these confidence errors on. Make sure you read every answer choice for these problems. I think at this poi…

I don't think it's worth purchasing a tablet. I mean if you already had one, then sure why not use it, but I think using a computer/laptop is good enough to get used to the digital experience
-
If you take a PT (timed, wood pencil, bubbling, all that Jazz) and score within five points of your goal score, then sure I’d take it. Otherwise, it’s really just not enough time to make it worthwhile in my opinion
-
When did you start studying? Honestly, I wouldn't think of a one or two point as a decrease to worry about right now. Depending on the curve of the test, you might have gotten the same amount of questions right. At this point in your studying, I wou…
-
Do you mean the writing sample portion of the LSAT? Or the personal statement?
-
Yeah in that case I'd just focus on killing it in July!
-
By a few points below, do you mean that your average PT score is a few points below your goal, or do you mean that your all time highest PT is still a few points below? I think that if it is the former, I would go ahead and take in June. If you've h…

I think that this does mean you should withdraw from the waitlists. Technically, you were "offered" a place on the waitlists (which you presumably accepted), so I think that they would fall under that umbrella of offers.
-
I understand how you feel- I'm studying for a July retake and planning on applying as early as possible. I've started on my essays, but it's definitely hard to decide which part of the overall application to focus on sometime. I've found that a good…
-
I think in this case, I would not write one. "Average to low" doesn't really sound like you're a horrible standardized test taker, and while a 3.67 is a reasonably solid GPA I'm not sure that it's high enough to provide evidence that your test score…
-
I wouldn't spend the week before the test hardcore studying. That's when you need to rest and keep fresh, but you won't be making actual progress. At that point, most of your studying and work should already be done. I think that splitting up the we…
-
I'm pretty sure I wore a hoodie and was fine, just don't put the hood up like others have mentioned
-
Since the problem sets are just passages from previous LSATs, I think it's fine to just use sections of old PTs. However, do keep in mind how much time you have before you are wanting to take the test- you'll definitely want to have exposure to newe…

Nope, no limit!

Some anxiety is perfectly normal and maybe even helpful. If you can try to frame the anxiety in a positive light (like it'll keep you sharp and energetic), you might feel a little better. Having said that, if the reason you are anxious is because yo…

Woot woot thank you everyone for making this such a helpful and fun forum!
-
On the top bar towards the middle there's a little clock/time icon, you can add a bit of extra time that way. Depending on your accommodation it might not be the exact right amount, but you can at least alter it a little
-
That makes sense, thank you for the response!
-
What was your previous score and how much are you looking to improve?
-
I think I would continue foolproofing and then evaluate again in about three weeks. Are you set on taking the June test because you really want a paper test? It's not impossible for you to get a 170 from where you are right now but I do think it's r…
