Go ahead and take a shot at other PA schools too. https://www.ilrg.com/rankings/law/1/asc/LSATMed?utf8=✓&name=&state=PA&commit=Search You might be a long shot but you miss all the shots you do not take. Pittsburgh median 1…

I think, if you are not relying on financial aid anyway and believe that you could be a very strong student at one school than transferring would be an excellent option if you can perform well enough in your class to convince them to give you a spot…

Look, you had a bad test. It happens to everyone. I do not know a ton about the Canadian application process, but my understanding is that the LSAT is less important. So either way I think you will be fine. Why not split the difference and get a …

I think that the hardest questions in the 80's test different thinking. They often have only initially unappealing answers for hard questions and you have to figure out which one is actually a good answer. To me, the earlier tests are the opposite …

I am not aware of the process for filing a complaint, but would that allow you to see your score? Scoring far lower than October might be slightly problematic, but you could also just submit an addendum and say that basically Biden was called the w…

@natal310 I will add make sure that any TVs, speakers, other computers or audio visual equipment is put away. That is the only thing they might object to. Any space is fine as long as it is free of that sort of thing. Obviously no text on the wal…

@"Martin. T" Take a break and relax. No timed sections before the test. Do a few untimed problems everyday and keep relaxed. Removing your stress will let you unlock your true potential. You can definitely do this. Just let the real you, your t…

If is has been 2 years and you have accomplished things in your career you definitely want to update all of that. Leaving it the same, especially if you are only at the medians, is not going to work. To be blunt about it, why would they want to ad…

Thanks y'all. It was great to hear your honest experiences and very generous of you to take time out of law school to do this. I love how dedicated the 7sage community is to each other, and that starts with the leadership shown from those farther …

To clarify what @canihazJD said, don't just skip the question, flag and come back. I also very much agree with this. I will give you my experiences with this. I started with a 165 cold diagnostic, but that was more a function of a high reading le…

Definitely do not automatically default to next cycle. If you are a URM with a great GPA someone may take a chance on you this year even if your LSAT is poor. Partially this will depend on how poor and how good your GPA is. Depending on that it m…

@kaleincali I might suggest the study buddy tool under resources. I may be hard to find people looking for study buddies that far out since most people active on the forums right now are still shooting for the 2021 cycle. I may be open to studying…

Thanks for the advice guys. And Congrats on your acceptance. Duke is my favorite target, so if you have any tips @noonawoon @lexxx745 I would love to hear them before I submit in a few weeks. If all goes well we'll all meet up on campus for the …

I may. At this time I am taking a break from LSAT to focus on my applications. While I didn't get the score I wanted for scholarship negotiation my results should be solid enough for admission at many of my target schools. I was averaging a 176 b…

Sounds good!

@hchristinecox You do not need to study 6+ hours a day. My guess is that very few people honestly get much out of more than 4 hours a day of studying. My guess would be to look at how you are studying. Clearly the way you have been studying is n…

I think that you have the right idea here, but in my experience the most consistent are actually single partner groups. If you are going to take 2-3 tests a week and really want consistency you could set up a couple of partners and one small group …

A four section test is more accurate than a flex, so if you did better congrats!! Good news before the test

@kevinteng2585 I would say it depends on the school. I was at a webinar about PS statements and addendums with Michigan the other morning. They said they ask for one if your score increases more than six points. In Michigan's case I think you sho…

@adimanm1 Did anything get sorted out from this? Were you able to talk with your undergrad institution or LSAC?
-
You're very welcome. I'd say do your best this year and if it doesn't work out try again next year. That's always an option whether you apply now or not.

@"LOWERCASE EVERYTHING" It's certainly been a slog and I'm sure most of us have had our moments of distraction. People should have a sense of pride in their accomplishments regarding law school this year. It's likely going to be the most competit…

@sophieswitzer said: You can pay as a first time test taker to see your score before cancelling so there isn't much risk in me taking it besides having a cancelled score which I am not too concerned about since January is my last writing att…

@"RIP.Lsat" I do this only for main point questions in RC and I highly recommend it. Read the MP question and answers, even answer it if something jumps out at you, then flag and do everything else in that passage and come back. Of all the qu…

I think they're expecting both types of visitors to their booths and chats. I would say don't ask things that can easily be discovered in a few moments on their website but other questions are okay. They have both info booths and chats. Visit to …

Well, you can always apply and let them know you're planning to retake the LSAT. Some schools may waitlist your application rather than reject it outright if they know you're retaking. I presume you're not interested in waiting till 2022 from your …
-
Take and see what you can do. You never know. My BR partner ended up with a 180 and she certainly was not averaging that. I got several points below my average, which I think is more typical. You do not know though, and I think that the Flexes d…

@jasmine950925 the reason you cannot register for February is that LSAC only offers the LSAT to internationally based applicants a few times a year but offers the test in the USA many times a year. Despite the test moving online they have not chang…

I have not used a tutor personally, but from spending a lot of time on the forums I have seen a lot of people recommend @lexxx745 He's been doing this a while and has always displayed good judgement in his advice on forums as well.

Interested. I am taking a break to try and go ahead and apply with my October score but really need scholarship aid and so am hoping to retake in January and get a 177+. I will start studying again come December when apps are done. I will PM you …
