Troll post. Everyone should ignore. Some people are insecure and have to post this kind of stuff to make them feel better about themselves by arguing anonymously with people on the internet. I’ve seen this same story posted on Reddit too. Either aut…
I think you should go on the trip if you want to, but don’t do it for admissions purposes. You already have a mission trip on your resume, so adding another reinforces the idea that you are passionate about service. With only 2 weeks before the test…

I am happy with the argument I made on the November essay. Do you think any admissions officers will expect those of us who have hand written essays from previous administrations to complete a typed essay from the June test and …
If you are able to take 2 of the newer prep tests before the real thing in July, it might help you adjust to the current tests. Newer tests are testing the same concepts, but many people experience a bit of an adjustment period on the newer LR and R…
@"Pride Only Hurts" I can only speak for myself, but on the November test I bombed my first section which turned out to be the experimental section. I finished strong but only really regained composure after the break. On this June test, I didn’t fe…

@drbrown2 what would you recommend? Not looking to get an ED acceptance. Just want to apply asap while scholarships are plentiful.
I think you should take the test! Keep studying hard but don't treat July as your one sh…

I have a LSAC weighted GPA of 3.75 and would really like to have ANY LSAT score on file (even if I plan on retaking in November) so I can send out some applications for ED.

Yes when you apply you are sending a bundle of information through LSAC than includes transcripts, essays, resume, and your LSAT information. In other words, you are not sending them just a score. They will see any LSAT you sat for. If you didn’t sc…
I thought the episode was entertaining, but it is also misleading and the logic is faulty as everyone has already pointed out. However, Gladwell is saying all of these things from the perspective of a complete LSAT beginner. My family doesn't really…

Keep it up! I have also made a 20+ point improvement. My advice to you is to aim for something like a 165 consistently before worrying about 170. Take it one step at a time. Once you’re averaging in the mid 160, work…
I would say both if you are ready by September. If you take it twice and are able to Improve your score it is going to be better to apply in November with a higher score than what you would be applying with in September. I’m not saying you are guara…
April is likely too late. Some schools that don’t have hard deadlines will still invite you to apply, but seats and scholarships are harder to come by that late in the cycle. You’ll have to wait a few weeks for the score so you’re looking at a late …
For all those questioning the specifics, I don't believe this has been officially announced by LSAC quite yet. I think we have to wait for this to become official before we know whether it applies retroactively for this cycle or whether cancellation…

Keeping your emotions in check and maintaining a rational mindset shows a lot of maturity and mental fortitude that will serve you well as a lawyer!
There is no magic number of hours to study. Just give this test the respect it demands and don't settle. No regrets. Put in the work and realize your potential. I recommend supplementing your Khan Academy studies with a book or a course like 7sage. …
I started with PT 1 and went through PT 35 (all the PTs used for 7sage CC, so I wouldn't have any "fresh" PTs from that bundle. 1-35 is what most people do I believe. Add in each section you do from your future timed PTs.
You can work on other parts of the application and have your essays and resume uploaded, but you shouldn’t submit until your score is posted. The schools won’t review until you go complete, which means you will need a score on record and all other p…

I stand by my posts here. This wasn't an assault.
You aren’t exactly able to make that determination unless you have all the facts. Just because the facts weren’t completely stated at the beginning doesn’t mean they woul…

@drbrown2 great to hear, thanks for the answer. did you do anything in particular that you found helpful when you first started completing PT's besides just blind review?
Ya do LG every day and put in more wor…
Yes the gap should close. Focus on improving your BR score and your timed score will tag along. As you get better, your accuracy and timing will improve and so your timed score will increase even if your BR score starts to flatten out. You should al…
Surround yourself in school, work, and your personal life with people you admire. You seem like your moral compass is correctly calibrated, so just trust your instincts and always try to do the right thing.
Only way to overcome that type of anxiety is to just take the PTs. If you are too nervous about your performance on a PT then you won't really be able to overcome anxiety on the real thing. On top of that, the diagnostic score doesn't really mean yo…
Basically you revisit the test, but without time constraints. When you’re first starting out you should probably just do every question on a freshly printed test (circled and non-circled questions). Really break down the questions, label the stimulu…
