Retaking offers only opportunity. You have nothing to lose. Even if you get dinged in the meantime you can sometimes appeal the decision once you have a higher score, though if you were borderline they might have held you anyways.
You can't submit your apps without an LSAT on the books since LSAC won't generate a report without it. That's just one of many reasons why February should never be your first for the following fall.
Unless English is not your first language and is fairly rusty, or you read well below 200 wpm then reading speed is just not the issue that you think it is. The passages simply are not long enough for actual reading speed to matter.
It's like driv…
That would be breaking the vow of silence and then they'll know you're full of shit. Best to make some business cards that say that and hand them out to everyone before the test.
The only thing that has shifted in my opinion is the traps are sexier and the correct ACs are less appealing on first glance... Don't take the wrong one home...
Never drill games by type as it doesn't properly test you on game type recognition and is a serious advantage for certain game types (e.g.- grouping games with a chart). Check this out and go from there: http://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discuss…

All things being equal, earlier is always better. All things being unequal, better is always better. There is no second chance to make a first impression. So if your score sucks and you apply, you risk getting dinged. If your next score sucks, you'l…

If I applied late in the cycle, does this significantly decrease my chances of getting into a particular school?
All things being equal, later is worse than earlier. So yes.

Always fill it in. I put a tiny dot on my answer sheet next to any that I need to come back to. That way I can easily find them once I finish and go back to try those again. I shoot for 10 in 10 and 15 in 15 and if it doesn't happen, so be it, I don…
If you're in that range you really need to stop focusing on the score and start focusing on the learning process. If you do that, the scores will come, and eventually they'll stay there consistently. Focusing too hard on the score will likely end up…
None of those "connections" are going to help you with a shorty LSAT score. I would postpone until June at the earliest, get some WE and study hard and apply for fall 2017.
I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who aren't writing one. And some are right not to do so if there is nothing diverse about them, while others are wrong not to write one either because they have gotten bad advice, don't understand how th…
That's way too many PTs for your last week, not only do your risk burnout, you're risking a major ego/confidence hit. The risk/reward dynamic here is not in your favor.
Why do you need to predict your score? You're totally focused on the wrong thing. You need to be focused on the learning process, not seeing a score for instant gratification and thinking that will necessarily translate to game day. We are 7 days ou…
They should stay there as long as your CAS account is active I believe. Just call LSAC to verify on Monday, they should be more than happy to give you a straight answer.
If your GPA is below median for HYS that means you're pretty much below Yale's 25th, so your chances of getting in there with a below median LSAT are minuscule unless you're a URM, and even then it will be very tough. Furthermore, Yale looks down on…

Do I suck it up, get a mediocre score, get into a mediocre school and try to transfer?
Horrible idea. Never go into law school with the intent to transfer, you will end up disappointed in almost every way.

Why would you take a break? You are going to need all the time you can give to this. Just because you aren't taking December now does not give you a reason to not continue your prep. You need to BR each section, not just LR. Grab the Ultimate packag…
Finish the curriculum, shore up your LG, then start taking timed PTs. You're just wasting materials if you do timed PTs without learning the foundations.
