I should clarify that my scores died from PT 72-78 lol Some of the toughest sequences of LR and RC I've seen.
-
Wow that is a huge gap between score and BR. It is clear that you have the fundamentals and understanding, so in your case I would wait a year to really get a mid 170s score. But if your September score comes out to 169 or something then just ED Nor…

@keets993 weird games section, and also the start of the change in LR and RC questions to being more open "most strongly supported" type rather than "must be true" types are what made PT 72 hard imo.
-
Lol yep almost a 10 point drop from PT 71 to 72 for me...
-
Studied while doing working full-time for 7 months and was best decision I've made. It really made me learn how to prioritize things in life and balance myself. Even if you aren't taking time off to study, I would still recommend you work for a year…

@"Beast Mode" @Gunningfor121 Np, and best of luck on the LSAT journey
-
I thought doing the game over and over again 10 times was overkill tbh. I did it once timed and then BR'ed an hour or two later. Then I watched JY's explanation to see how similar our methods were and then wake up the next morning and redo the secti…
-
@Gunningfor121 oh you have plenty of time then lol. I have no doubts you'll start hitting consistent -0s if you keep fool-proofing and good luck in March! I should note that it helps to fool-proof all the PTs you take even after you fool-proofed PT…
-
@Gunningfor121 Yeah, try LG from PTs 81, 82, and 84. The general trend recently has been easier LGs and tougher RCs, with PT 83 being the only exception.
-
Well it's a bit of a tricky question since after the PTs in the 30s the LG gets ridiculously easier. Thus, people do start seeing -0s after fool-proofing LGs 1-35 as both a combination of actual improvement and just in general because they are takin…
-
It kinda depends on LSAC's mood tbh lol. Dec '17 to June '18 accommodated test takers apparently took same test even though it was days apart, but July '18 test takers had a different exam.
-
72+ were the hardest for me.
-
I seen people online who had fee waivers from T14 but were way below both medians. Personally, I think there is truth to both statements. They send it to all those with the stats they want and they send a few to others to boost their rejection #s.
-
Depends on the school since different schools value GPA and LSAT differently, relatively speaking. However median LSAT and 75th GPA sounds like you'll have as good a shot as almost anyone.
-
30 more points.
-
Hi @"samantha.ashley92" , I will recommend that you test out my method and see how it goes for you. I almost never have time leftover for LR, LG, and RC but maintained high accuracy of -0 to -1 per section. The way I go about it is that I make sure …
-
I have a STEM resume that my career center stated was very well done when I applied for jobs, but my Law School adviser essentially told me it was trash. So short answer is yes, you will need to rewrite your resume and spell out everything to make i…
-
LSAT trainer, Manhattan prep LR, and lots of question type drilling. Make sure you blind review properly too.
-
I didn't see any difference in scores or experienced fatigue with 4 vs 5 sections so I just decided to stop doing 5 section PTs. Other people say that it's necessary, but if you personally don't feel burnout then don't bother. Another example is how…
-
Congrats @ChaimtheGreat !!
-
Depends, how close are you to your target schools' medians? If you are significantly below both GPA and LSAT medians at your target schools, you won't get in at your current state so you will have to retake anyway. 4 takes with a significantly highe…
-
Yep, my AP credits also became unconverted hours and it's not an issue at all. They calculate your LSAC GPA without consideration of those unconverted hours and no school will ask you about it.
-
Depends, are you applying this upcoming cycle? If not, then you should absolutely study and retake. If you are applying this cycle then it is prob more worth your time to start working on apps since your 170 is so close to your PT average of 171 tha…
-
Fool proof RC sooner.
-
I had a huge score drop when I took PTs 72-78. The way I always saw it was that I can gain more reviewing a bad PT than one that I actually scored well on. I personally dug deep into the reason that my score died in that range and found that the LR …
-
@alleycat I circled 8 questions for RC that I was uncertain on which was highly unusual for me so I was prepared to get at least half wrong. I was also considering cancelling my score since I already got a 170 from Feb and I didn't want to have a lo…
-
I studied before and after work including the commute and found that to be extremely valuable in terms of shaping my mind towards LSAT thinking. Personally, studying when tired helped train my mental fortitude for this exam. Test it out for a month …
-
@AudaciousRed I actually think both reverse splitters and regular splitters should be happy about this. Dropping the test req. wouldn't make the top law schools devalue the LSAT since USNEWS rankings will still be their main concern. The drop will j…
-
Hi @eliza_engineer , I think I can give you some tips in terms of studying for the LSAT since I was also a STEM major who studied with a full-time job. I think your low confidence/fear of the LSAT stems from the fact that you believe that you have n…

You should sit out a cycle or two to get some work experience. Many T14 law schools prefer to see candidates with maturity from holding a full time job such as Northwestern which explicitly asks for some work experience (makes them more employable d…
