Agree with @noonawoon Definitely do write a GPA addendum. That is an excellent reason to write one. The LSAT not so much. While you had more responsibilities to take care of than most people during your preparation time those are, as said, factor…

It may be that they want to reserve the Thursday slots for international students. That is when we are taking our exams.

Thanks a bunch JY. I LOVE this. I do not know if I will have time in the midst of applications to do it, but I really appreciate this whole concept. Giving students, aka consumers, the chance to make sure they are really interested in the 300,000…

@dudekc That is kind of how I feel as well. I would like to be judged by my non-demographic qualities. I understand the need for demographics tracking, law especially is a place where URMs are really under represented but I have never been comfort…

Glad to be helpful

@amccain1 you're very welcome. Congrats on finishing your test. I'm feeling ready to do the same. Thursday was too far away.

What was LSAC's response?
-
@adimanm1 Exactly. It is not that I think that no one should do 3+ PTs a week, I have been doing two a week for about 6 weeks, but 2 is, at least for me, very different from 3. I also do not always review like I should when I finish my group BR. …

Also, test difficulty is highly subjective but I thought 62 was on the harder side for me personally. Take heart, you have time!

@howdoichangemyavatar gives good advice. I do not know what your final score or school goal is but you can easily pick up ten questions in LG. Fixing just the LG issue and getting to -2 would put you at a 152 on that test, an enormous difference. …

I think you are okay. What they want to see there, if you are not a slam dunk accept/reject, is that you can write and reason well. There is not much you can do about it now, and any addendum you write is not going to tell them anything they do no…

@lilpingling Well said.
-
And I just realize that I replied to a several year old post because a spam bot posted in it and sent it to recent discussions. That explains all the discussion about campus visits.

So I think you are considering the right things Where you want to practice, who can help you learn the type of law you want, whether clinicals are important to you. @cqas190517 pointed out something that is quite important to some people, myself i…

Again, I think @"Danielle C" probably had the best advice. Contact them, preferably in writing. Worst case they say no. Best case you have a yes in writing and no one can dispute that you are allowed to do so. If they tell you no, I would not tr…

I think it is fantastic that you were able to isolate the differences and apply that as a habit. Great job. Identifying that highlighting as a time sink for you is a great opportunity for growth! Keep up the good work! Concentration is something…

In reference to @Climb_to_170 's comment, and in agreement with @Logician it might be a good idea to have an addendum ready just in case you have a significant score drop. I think it is probably pretty common for low or mid 160's scorers to test a…

@sophiapoirier10 said: Hey! I'm in a somewhat similar position to you, regarding the inconsistent studying. I got the course back in March and only now am I seriously studying - aiming for the Feb 2021 exam. I am struggling with keeping up the…

@lexxx745 said: The option does exist but I doubt picking it would ever reflect positively Hey Lexxx, can you explain your reasoning in more detail. I think people would be interested in you argument.

Keep calling and see what you can learn. It may honestly depend on who reviews your file.
-
I agree with @Logician Also, you will, in time, discover the style that works best for you. That can only come with practice and experience and experimentation. You've got this, just keep going.
-
You can do this. Don't stress out (I am sure this makes me a hypocrite) and have confidence. Your PTs as a whole show your potential far more than a day or two of bad PTs. A lot of people advise not evaluating yourself with a score at all the fina…

I think this is a common spot to plateau. Between timing and difficulty it is extraordinarily difficult to break into that 98th/99th percentile club. What helped me break that barrier was BRing with other high scorers. Listening to their reasonin…

7sage CC is going to require consistent dedication, but if you want to make this happen that is necessary anyway. I think you should find a group to study with. This advice applies regardless of who you choose to use as your study service, but rea…

@Logician gives good advice. Don't sweat it. I think studying for the LSAT while in any masters program would be a lot for anyone, but especially a second language speaker. No worries, to be honest, you'll be a stronger applicant with a year of w…

Thanks @Rtahlov

How strict is the no talking thing? I really struggle to not repeat difficult LR passages out loud some times.
-
Just my two cents but it seems like several people here are thinking about taking more than 2 PTs a week. A lot of advise would caution against doing more than 2 a week. It is generally believed to be pretty draining and can lead to burnout. I'm …

From personal experience, I feel like the LR and RC questions in the 80's are different than the 50's, 60's, and 70's. There felt like there were more "chose the best answer out of 0 good answers" than on earlier tests, where the trick with harder …
