Don't stress, just relax, take a day or two break, and come back. Do you have your actual LSAT soon?
-
If they did not count against you and you are not looking at a top 25 school I would not think it would matter. The rest of your app will contextualize those Ws. If you have a 3.8 and a bunch of non-factor Ws no one outside of a top 6 school is go…

It seems like no one can answer this honestly. I think the advice above is good. Do that and see what they say. If yes you have a defense.

Do whatever keeps you sharp, focused, and calm. You've got this. I'm also taking Thursday and was stressing out hard over the weekend but I'm thankfully feeling great now. Do whatever you need to get to that calm place. Then crush the LSAT

Thanks for this.

So, my personal experience was this, started with a 165 diagnostic, increased steadily to around 169/170 with a single 174, then suddenly jumped and went from that 169 to 175, 177, 176 in a row. You a obviously already very good at the test. It ma…

I also want to know this. Also, can it be lined or graph paper?

Here's the deal Sammy, HYS is looking for people with a diverse range of backgrounds. They would love if everyone came in at 25-30 years old 4.0's 180's and with advanced degrees in a diverse array of subjects after having a couple of patents and b…

I'll echo that having consistency in your PT performance should give you more confidence. If your scores are always in the mid 160's then you can be pretty confident your actual test will be. If you score 155 one test and 167 the next then I think…

Thanks. I am feeling good about getting in, just not getting 75%+ scholarships. I have done a PT the last two days and will do one tomorrow and Saturday and see if I can get another high score going into the exam.

Look, if you are only a few points off now while missing nearly 10 questions on LG, (I assume by 15 you meant 15/23ish) and your primary and most important goal is only getting a 165 do not worry about the book. It is more important that you pick u…

This post is an old debate now, but interests me. As someone to whom the LSAT came easily, and who has always intuitively been skilled at analysis and logical reasoning, I do not think I will be terribly advantaged for success in law school. I mig…

@kilgoretrout Thanks for the encouragement. I think your advice is pretty good. I think, for me, I am not too worried about bombing an exam because I have been so consistent, and getting more practice under timed conditions with law hub is probabl…

I do not have kids, but you all are amazing for going through this process with kids. I struggle to manage my relationship and this process, which involves so much more than I realized it would when I started a few months ago. I do not know how yo…

@WouldRatherBeEating Thanks for that tip

Also, comparing your study schedule to others when you are already stressed about not being productive will not be helpful. It will only put more stress on you. This will not let you learn. It raises what we call your affective filter which blocks…
-
Okay, first: take a deep breath. Many of us feel this way. You're not going to become a more temporally organized person over night, but you can start by removing the stress about the amount of productivity. It causes anxiety and tension which in…

I just wish it were open to international applicants. It's online for crying out loud.

I'm also interested in that methodology. You @'d me before, but I lost the post. I'm averaging -2.7 on RC and want that down to less than 2 or better. Main point is my weakness.
-
I can't guarantee they won't, but I highly doubt they would A. Go through the trouble and B. take that invasive a step. As barred attorneys they are probably well aware of privacy concerns and ramifications of contacting an employer who is not awa…

I would love a whole thread about this. The earliest I can take my exam here in Asia is 5 PM. I have requested the day off of work but I will have a lot of hours to fill not getting too stressed and trying to keep my mind fresh. I plan to take a …
-
In theory, you do not need to know any specialized or difficult words in RC. That isn't actually 100% true, sometimes there are words that your average high school or college grad might not know, but generally when they do occur they are either exp…

@REALLYTRYINGHERE said: My actual scores (timed) are in the low 140's (147 being highest). My highest BR is a 149. Should I be discouraged? My best section is currently the LG's. I'm having a hard time with LR (haven't reached the RC section y…

They are largely mass generated. I am getting lots of them despite the fact that my GPA has not been uploaded and I won't take my LSAT until October. That does not mean they are not legitimate. If you receive an offer for a fee waiver that certai…

@joeym702 I do not have the curve memorized, but check your raw score against the curve, you can Google LSAT score converter and find it. Plug you current raw score (the minus x from 100ish) in then add ten points, which I think is not unreasonable…
-
Also, while I have not been super on top of this myself, it is best to also get a head start on your essays, at least some outlines, before the LSAT at this stage in the cycles. If you need a break from studying, maybe think a bit about what would …

Here is a data driven article that talks about the risk involved in attending certain schools and how it relates to their medians. Make sure you carefully chose a school that will help you achieve the end goal, passing the bar. https://data.lawsch…

There was a post about this recently and a representative from 7sage chimed in. They researched test taker performance on LR sections across their site and found that the difference between any two sections on average was in the most extreme case a…

@OldLadyK Is absolutely correct. I want to second her opinion. That is something that is important for the ad com to know.

Also, testing in a miserably hot location is hardly fair when normal testing sites are climate controlled in most cases.
