On the third day of Christmas, my true love gave to meee...
Three logic games
Two fee waivers,
and a score of at least one-seventy.
KEEP IT GOIN' Y'ALL.
IT'S CHRISTMAS TIME.

Thanks for your thoughts, everyone!
@"nicolas.saw" Yeah! I'm also looking at a few of those. I'm planning on applying to UCD and UCI, probably also UCLA and USC. UCLA obviously more of a stretch and score will factor a l…
@todduncan2 That's awesome! So low below the median!
Update: some schools will not hold your application if it's completed (ie. It has a score), but I'm guessing that these schools also will allow you to reapply in light of a new score if you get r…
Ditto what Alex said.
Having a later, lower score might confuse your readers and they might have a question or two about it. If there is a significant difference between the score (and I'd put that at maybe even 4, possibly even 3 point difference)…

I would recommend sending them in as soon as you can regardless of whether or not you have a possible pending February score. Source: advice from my law school admissions consultant who encouraged me to turn in my applications ASAP despite having a …

@"Paul Caint" Was that the "open-minded" versus "accepting" question? That question made me lol during the test because it was such a clear example of how the LSAT likes to fuck with people. Curious to see what the answer is. Forgive me if you meant…
The sooner the application is sent in the better. Although they will not review your application until your application has your score, the earlier you turn in a completed application, the closer to the top it will be when those schools start to rev…
@Sami That is the raddest logic game station I've ever seen. It's just barely gotten "cold" enough here in Central Florida for fires like that.
Nice doggo there!
Looks like you're using Staedler Noricas! The same pencils I use.

You can definitely attach an addendum to your applications after they have been sent in. In your case (because of the anxiety attacks, I would encourage you to do so).
I would add an addendum saying that your June and September scores are not repre…
@akistotle
Yeah! That's my roommie's puppy-doggo. His name is Leon. He was a real good helper with the fire. Sometimes during my studies he'd going in my room and take the spent, crumbled up logic games from my wastebasket and would tear them up …
Damn. I'm really sorry to hear that.
I had the impression that they were more strict this take than September when it comes to watches. There were a ton of other people in my take (Orlando, FL) that had their watches taken away as opposed to last …
I'm not totally sure how the computer works exactly!! But I think that if you clearly circled A over C, and your scantron comes back with C as your chosen answer while A is the credited response, you can definitely dispute it. They will send you a s…
I have the same issue when it comes to consistency. I generally score in a range from highest to lowest scores of like seven points, with an average somewhere in the middle. I think that this is typical, as sometimes you test differently because of …
AWWWW. I'm not crying, you're crying!
This is the sweetest :') Thanks for this. Your inspiring story makes me want to go out into the world believing in myself and kicking ass.

Re @LSATcantwin "I have scored above a 170 on multiple occasions.
I have seen hard section, after hard section, and found a way through.
Nothing I study these last few days will impact me on the day of the test.
Everything that wil…
Working in criminal justice reform or otherwise keeping people out of prison.
Either through helping implement a restorative justice program, being a criminal defense lawyer for indigent clients, or working on policy.
Thanks so much for this ques…
@sbzanelli Yeah! That sounds about right. I think they'll get it. Even just mentioning it is better than not all all addressing it. So I think you're good!
I made this post in a related discussion post but thought I'd paste it here:
TL;DR: Yes, your schools will know you are retaking. Also: it might raise a flag for a school that you are retaking and they will probably want to know why. I would recomm…
I heard from a law school admissions consultant that schools will know that you're retaking in December, as your registration for December be sent in your information from LSAC. My guess is that this might be a flag to your schools, as they will wan…
An alternative that I do is to circle the key phrasing in the question stem. For example, if NA, I circle "required". Or if RRE, I circle "reconcile". Or if flaw, I circle "most vulnerable to criticism".
I also do the arrow thing sometimes.
I had this same experience today! Some tests are just simply better than others because of the way that a certain test may exploit certain weakness of ours (which may be a strength for other testers, which is why the overall "difficulty" of the test…
Another trick I like to use for replicating test day conditions is replicating the "wait time" that occurs while folks are signing in and going into their rooms (like the half hour to hour from call time to sitting down at your seat). Call me crazy,…
Do you mean the "passage/game" difficulty ranker? This wouldn't tell me much about LR. However, I presumably could calculate the section difficulty by averaging each question's 1-5 ranking as it is listed there. I could calculate this quickly if I h…
