Ah okay, do you think I should be asking all my recommenders to do that for every school then?

If they’re willing to do that for a few of your top choices that’s very nice of them and I would take them up on that. It might help …
Thank you all this is super helpful! I definitely need to be doing more RC passages and reading in general, it's just hard sometimes to have the motivation to drill as hard in RC when I consistently see the least improvement there Gotta push throug…
omg YES. So much back pain every day :'( I get it in my neck all the way down to my lower back. I'm studying anywhere between 4-7 hours a day. I had to pause my timer once during a preptest because I was in SO MUCH pain. What I've been doing that he…
Would be nice to see a blog post about if there are any networking opportunities to increase your chances of getting your name out there to law schools before you actually submit your application. Go to their events? email them with questions? Sit i…

I recently finished the CC so I haven't gotten to take many practice tests yet since then. I assumed finally finishing the CC would mean that my test scores after that would be significantly higher than over a month ago, but it's been staying the sa…

10 points is easily 15 questions. If you're currently in the 140s or low 150s, this seems much more doable in two months than if you're already at 155+. It's going to be a rough ride, but make sure you take at least …
I really want to get from a 160 to a 169/170. I'm having trouble with both timing and accuracy. My RC section score (timed, when taking a full-length prep test) at it's highest has been at 20/27, LR at 22/25 and LG at 19/23. I've been stuck in this …
I CANNOT study at home. I hop from coffee shop to coffee shop I'm at a coffee shop to study every single day. Occasionally I'll go to a library but sometimes they can just get too quiet for me.
I'm so sorry you went through that I have test anxiety as well so I can completely relate with freezing on exams and having panic attacks. I definitely need help in that area as well so I'll be following these responses. Above all, don't beat yours…
If you feel ready, I would say take the test even if you're sick. But here's what you can do, get yourself some Vitamin C and take A LOT. I'd do like 2,000 mg of vitamin C a day (that's two Emergen-C packets, if you do that. You could probably even …
Thanks :') Still a long way ahead. Hoping to become a civil rights lawyer and help individuals from marginalized communities that are being discriminated against or affected in any way by racism, xenophobia, islamophobia, homophobia, anti-semitism, …
I'm going to give a really cheesy & overused answer: to impact society in a beneficial way. I grew up marginalized for who I am and I've seen many people within my group and other marginalized groups discriminated against and impacted by racism,…
Hey! So I've had coffee dependency before and all it did for me in the long run was burn me out, increase my anxiety, and deplete my natural energy level. If you plan on taking the exam in September, it's not the time to cut coffee out and I would s…
@lsattaker10 said:
Hey Sarah! I am in a very similar situation to you - I'm feeling the burn out, the stress and I'm watching my test scores drop! My diagnostic was 153 and I peaked at 165, but I've been crashing ever since. I highly recommend…

Hey Sarah, so you could definitely benefit from a break. I'm just getting back from a break myself and the longer I've studied for LSAT the more essential I am convinced time off is.
So, please don't worry about wa…
@LSATcantwin said:
Sarah @Uhinberg is right though. The statistics and numbers say you are in for a long haul. When I say dedicate yourself to studying I mean it to the extreme. It IS possible to see that improvement, people do it. You just ne…

Hey! Sorry you're feeling this way but I completely understand. I started off with the LSAT Trainer and it was a great resource but I saw very slow improvement. I completely lost faith in my abilities, was overwhelming burnt o…
