I am always hesitant to give application advice, because I am not an admissions expert, but you could apply now and send an addendum that you are taking the LSAT again and will submit your scores. If you subscribe to any of the admissions products …

Congrats!!!
-
Also, I would think that you could arrange your test time so that you did not need to take the medication mid test, provided you do not need to take it 6+ times a day.
-
You will sign up for testing the same as anyone else, though there may be fewer time slots for you since they will need to block out a longer time. I would not worry too much about it if you are testing in the USA. You accommodations should automa…

Do not stress if you can only do 1 PT a week. Just do something LSAT related most days of the week even if it is not a PT. Lots of us are working and prepping for the LSAT, so you are definitely not alone. Just do not beat yourself up too much.
-
Agreed, but that is a huge jump. Do not expect all your scores to look like that immediately. What it means is that you are capable of a 177. Now that you know that (congrats, that's great) you need to work to make your performance more consisten…

Also, massive props on that 9 point score increase success since finishing the curriculum. That's very impressive. Keep it up!
-
The late 80's are markedly different in my opinion. I really think they helped me to grow and break the last plateau. The difference between earlier PTs and those in the late 80's (I only say late 80's because I have not gone any from 80 to 86) is…

Also, it really depends on the moment for me, while I have not had any moments of panic, sometimes I do still day dream. A study buddy of mine yesterday said she was thinking about possibly applying to Harvard and I spent several minutes before sle…

If you have not full proofed LG yet I would encourage you to do so. That is the quickest way to get improvements. Drill a set of problems, 10 or 15, whatever number of games will keep you from just memorizing the answers. Do them over and over un…

@"blake.schapiro" I also feel strongly about community in law school. I did my undergraduate degree at lovely App State where professors were often far more concerned with students and student development than research and administrators were acces…

I am not an expert in this, but I think you are fine if you are a college student now. However, that said, what extracurriculars did you have. You tutored a kid, given that you do not have extensive work history that may even go on there. What ab…

You guys can both make it, whether this year or next, and don't get me started on LSAC's money grabbing scheme. When I first looked into things I was planning to ED somewhere, probably Wash U. I guess only planning to apply to one school I did not…

@nanabillan might want to BR with you, maybe the two of you could find a third that is strong in RC. @Constantine also was looking for study buddies for November. The others I know of are in Japan/Korea time here with me.
-
You're very welcome @nanabillan and, because I forgot to say it earlier, a big congratulations. That is hard work you should be very proud of.
-
I do not know what it is about the late 80's PTs, but they helped me hit a breakthrough with the help of my BR partner as well. While I will absolutely give her most of the credit, BRing through the questions in 87-89 led to things suddenly clickin…
-
That sounds like something not to worry about then. Great job on your other acceptance
-
Congrats on getting into a top choice so quickly. That's got to be a stress relief knowing that whatever else happens you have that one down. Great job
-
Hey @brittanyxwei I mentioned this I think on another post of yours, but not that you are in the 160's I really encourage you to take tests and then BR with a buddy also in the 160+ club. Ideally you can mix it up and have a few different buddies o…
-
Also, the recent RC PTs are very different. The older PTs had harder passages more frequently I think, and often the difficulty on hard questions was understanding the passage. The upper 80's PTs often present a selection of not great answers and …
-
@brittanyxwei What are you scoring now? I think that is very relevant to how much time and attention to give to the CC. If you are already scoring 170+ consistently I would say do not bother with it at all immediately but move to doing several PTs…
-
I think that is absolutely fine to take a test or a couple of sections as problem sets while going through it, but maybe do not start PTing in earnest yet. There is a caveat to that however. It really depends on where you are starting at in your s…

It depends on how much you value getting into their program. What sort of info did they want? Are they just yield protecting or do you think they genuinely want more information to make their decision. If it is yield protecting they may feel like…

It is much more challenging to improve, that is for sure. It took me a long time to improve, and I don't think things clicked for me until shortly before the test. I BR'd with a partner that was quite clever at RC, and that helped. It took me from a…

@nanabillan I am going to comment below I just made a few minutes ago on another post. At basically the same time another discussion about RC frustrations from @bellahyeon14 showed up, so know that you are not alone. I do not know if this will he…

For those of you concerned about the LawHub interface, just practice with it. I agree that it is more awkward than both 7Sage and Khan Academy, but you get used to it too. I hated it the first PT I did on it, but by the third it did not bother me.…

If they gave you a fee waiver go for it. Nothing to lose but the CAS fee. If they are higher ranked and you get in, even if you decide you would rather have more scholarship support at a lower school it could help you negotiate as well.

@"Law and Yoda" gives excellent advice. You cannot control the cards in your hand, but you do control how you play them. A GPA addendum is probably a very solid idea, and just be honest and take responsbility for your immaturity. Are you in under…

Hard to say. I also do not know what percentage of people prepare for the LSAT effectively. While it is common advice given on here to drill LG to best improve your score, not everyone even prepares much for the LSAT and I think, outside of 7sage,…
