I mean no matter what you should aim as high as possible on the LSAT. This will be a third career for me so, no you're not crazy. Your résumé in particular would be redone specifically for apps anyway, but your experience would be a plus not a hinde…

You are a champ @canihazJD. Would you still be doing any more of these down the line?
Probably. I do this from time to time, but a lesser know fact about tutoring is that its exhausting... even more so than studying in my opi…

Thank you for this! You're always so helpful on these forums. I definitely always thought of myself as a confident person until I started applying to law school and studying for the LSAT. It feels better hearing these things ev…

I can’t stop thinking about it and I’m so scared that if I don’t cancel it and it’s worse than my first time it’ll make it impossible to get an acceptance.
There are lots of reasons to be nervous. This isn't one of them. Im…

Please let me know if they grant you the retake as I had an issue during my test and they said I wasn’t eligible for the retake day
It depends on who you talk to at proctorU. Seems like most of them don't know what they'r…
I've been trying to focus on running (I've increased my mileage so drastically since the test that I'm starting to hurt), app essays, and some light day trading (GME for the win!) to keep my mind off score release... been working so far. I hope to …
I ran my writing from July '19 past my consultant who said, "its not terrible but its not great". He also said, "out of thousands of apps I probably looked at 3 writing samples". I ultimately decided no to redo it for these reasons:
Likely it wont…
You're right in that it s a case by case consideration, the only hard rule I'd say is that you shouldn't write one if you don't have anything meaningful to say or don't plan on doing it well. No volume without value. Also, it's not late.
You cannot take the contrapositive of "most" statements. In your example you don't know enough about the world of "not NO".
If most A are B then...
Some A are B
Some B are A
It's possible that all A are B
You cannot say that most B are anythin…

All of the "gotcha" methods like time sinks and games that are supposed to take abnormally long are counterproductive to the entire purpose of the test in the …

Even if that happens, would it still be ok as long as I write an addendum? Or in that case would it be safer to cancel?
I doubt you'd see a 20 point drop, but let's accept that for a second.
To lose 20 points on the flex (…
In addition to everything else, keep in mind that schools often accept apps beyond their stated deadlines. If you kill it in April, a school has strong motivation to accept you if it will help their medians. Also 26 is nowhere near "old".
In your case, it wouldn't be slacking. You literally don't need the courses.
It could look worse IMO if you just added some easy filler stuff which might be interpreted as an attempt at GPA inflation. Just try to take a app reader's perspective. W…
I'd keep it... little to no benefit in cancelling and definite chance you did better than you think, which if you cancel, you'll never know. When they did the zombie scores earlier last year, people were coming back with 99th percentile scores. Th…
I just heard of someone getting read aloud and extra paper accommodations, so I suppose if you can get a provider to verify the need it's possible. That said, you lose the utility of existing game boards if you keep erasing them... I've heard people…

@canihazJD random: but can I just say how lovely and helpful you have been on the forums!? I look up to you a lot and I hope you get into the school of your dreams
Hey! Thanks, I really appreciate that. I like to think that…
No, in a normal cycle (if there is such a thing), Feb would be just starting to be "late" for most schools. Definitely not late in this cycle... I've spoken to every T14 and multiple consultants over the past two cycles, and "late" is highly misunde…
I had issues getting an equipment check pass running Big Sur on a 2015 air. Kept giving me a ram fail. Same laptop ran flawlessly for flex on Sierra. ProctorU was no help. Ended up just switching to a pro that hadn't updated OS yet. I've also see…

@canihazJD very similar stats to you and we had the same LR/ LG.
Do you think that LR section was absolutely bizarre? That’s the hardest LR section I’ve seen in a long, long time. I’ve never been 50/50 on so many questions b…

Are the tests different everyday? And then they curve each section that's the same? Or are they all the same test, just different orders?
