It was my understanding that you can take the test as many times as you like, but not exceeding three times in two years.
Absolutely not. The 4th takes and beyond require special appeal to LSAC and schools do NOT like to see mor…

While beginning to do practice test, is it okay not to focus on time because I am still learning?
Nope--ALWAYS do PT's timed and proctored simulating test conditions.

Is this webinar going to be given again? Sadly I missed it and just got waitlisted on a top school! Thank you!
It will be given again on 4/14 !
Agree—also consider that some schools weigh certain softs more than others (NU with WE for instance) so you might have a better shot targeting the schools that like your particular kind of applicant. I'm skeptical that NU's peer schools would have a…

I'd try to keep the resume itself to under 2 pages not including publications, which can go extra.

I get to break all my rules! Yay alcohol! I've been sitting here for the last two hours eating pizza, drinking beer, and watching Archer and it really is the best thing I could possibly do for my LSAT studying.
Love this!
