  • You just have to chiiiiiillllllllll. Look at all the positive progress you have made. Don't even think about the LSAT the next couple of days. You have a solid foundation, you know what you are capable of. Go into the test with that in the back of y…
  • For comparative passages, I've started to look at the questions first. If there are questions that focus on a specific passage rather than both of them, I will read that passage first and answer those questions before reading the next passage. This …
  • @JustDoIt People do get lucky though. Everybody can have an outlier day well above or below their average scoring range. If you don't take the test you could have missed the opportunity to beat your average and move on towards the application proces…
  • @JustDoIt said: @KLGMK550 said: @JustDoIt said: As others have said, it is unlikely. Don't take unless you are completely ready. Drill LR, focus on your weaknesses, and develop good habits. If you are not ready fo…
  • I agree with @"Leah M B" . As they say, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. The best way to increase accuracy is to manage your time wisely. You may be getting through the section with no problem on time, but at what cost? Slow it down a little bit,…
  • @jadaallender said: THANK YOU 7SAGE!! I got 169!!!! So happy!!! (but wish I could've gotten 170 now) Seriously this course was amazing and I learned so much!!! I got a late start to studying (started studying only 2 months before the test date…
  • A word to the wise - never eat Chipotle before a big test. Everything was going great for me until section 4, when Chipotle had its revenge. Stomach cramps and gas. I feel bad too because my stomach was making God awful whale noises, which I'm sure …
  • I think you'll be way better off than me! My photo doesn't have a beard, but I do now. I really don't want to shave it off. I'm brining two forms of ID just in case, and I hope the proctor is cool. If not, I'll be shaving it off in the parking lot.…
  • They don't care. Just get the highest score that you know reflects your capabilities. If that means you have a bad day and have to retake it, then retake it. At the end of the day schools only want your top score, because that's what they put in the…
  • I shit, shower, & shave before AND after every PT.
  • You should consider going to the best school you can for the best price. The worst case scenario would be going to a local low ranked school and then realizing family law isn't for you after all. Then you'd be s.o.l. Going to a higher ranked school …
  • You should be fine, especially if you look the same. I'm sketched out because I have grown a beard since my photo. I'm brining two forms of ID to the test center, and am going to have a razor in my car just in case lol.
  • I'd say go for it. Your recent low scores could be from burnout. You said you scored really well after coming back to the test after a break. So take it easy this week doing light review, and give your brain a rest. Be fresh for the test. You have h…
  • A lot of RC questions are simply MBT questions. What does the passage infer? What does the author infer? Which would the author most likely agree with? The passage would answer which of the following questions? The correct answer choice is supporte…
  • Honestly I wouldn't even worry about time. It is a factor yes, but at the end of the day it's another element distracting you from the task at hand - getting each question right. Micromanaging each question is only going to cause you anxiety that in…
  • Regardless, that is a very competitive GPA. Score a high LSAT and your applications won't be overlooked.
  • There might be some red flags if you take the test ten times. But I think it's pretty common for people to take the test 2-3 times. As far as I know the majority of schools really only want the high score anyways, because it raises their admission a…
  • Why do you keep canceling? Either take it and see what you get or withdraw so you don't have anymore cancels. A low score really isn't the end of the world, and it seems like you've created a habit of psyching yourself out. There is also nothing sk…
  • Nice work! LR is my weakest section too. The progress is slow but persistence always pays off! Speed will come with more comprehension.

  • Lynyrd Skynyrd never gets old for me.
  • Have you considered enrolling in a part-time program? That way you can still be making an income to fund your tuition, living expenses, or offset any loans you might take out. It also depends on the area of law you want to practice and on the ROI y…

  • Do both! If you get the score you want in June you don't have to worry about it. If you don't, that's just another practice test in the bag for you.
  • Revisit this: https://classic.7sage.com/pdf/?ss_file=lsat/lessons/logical-reasoning-flowchart-revisited.pdf&_wpnonce=396cd3ce7d I found myself really not engaging in the stimulus or the stem, and having to go back multiple times. Read ever…
  • This really helped me on RC, just try slowing down. Instead of speeding through it to answer every question, really just focus on the content and answer the first three passages. Work on getting every single question right, and just throw away the l…

  • I'm facing the exact situation you are, but I don't think you have anything to worry about. I plan on working FT and attending PT law school. I'd rather pad the resume and my wallet vs. coming out of law school and deciding not to be a lawyer (which…
  • The good news is, you retained everything but the LG! The easiest to improve on by far, I think you'll be ok You probably just got in your head about them. I think you'll be fine after a few more PTs!!!
  • @alyhobbs said: Hey! So I was looking for something similar a while back and I ran across a post from 2 years ago. https://classic.7sage.com/discussion/#/discussion/7890/i-made-digital-flashcards-for-lr-concepts-enjoy @LetsHigh5 made…
  • I'm in the same boat as you, Ashleigh! I choked on the December LSAT, scoring far below my PT average. I've taken a huge break since then and April. I've spent the last month lightly reviewing the CC and upgraded to the Premium. I am signed up for t…
  • Why not sign up for all three? In essence these are all just another practice test. Worst case scenario, you have to retake one or two times. This is perfectly normal, and I don't think a September score is too late by any means. Who knows, you coul…
