@MissChanandler said: Hi everyone, Just like the title says, I’m on the fence about a retake. I took September and got a 169 and then got a 172 in November. My PT average over the last five PTs was 171 with a high score of 175. My gpa is …

@"Michaela.Pratt1" said: Hi everyone, I identify primarily as Black and am perceived almost 100% of the time as a Black woman. I also identify, though, as partially Native American (one-sixth to one-eighth to be specific). Because of some…

@tekken1225 said: I guess I'm trying to find out whether, if I submit my apps now, and the schools subsequently request my law school report from LSAC, would LSAC even send in the reports because my file is missing the letters? Or would m…

@stemsplitter said: Hello. I know there are a lot of splitter posts here, but i wanted some feedback on my particular situation. I graduated a year ago with a dual degree in women's studies and biology. I am not gifted in math or science, b…

@sx23 said: @eRetaker lol you will get in anyway! Lol here's hoping the $85 is worth

@sx23 said: Glad to see everyone again! How r y'all doing? @NotMyName that's weird your LSAT is higher than mine but you didn't get a waiver from Columbia? I thought they gave waivers based on that. Also got nothing from Columbia ¯_(ツ)_/¯

It depends on how cautious of a test-taker you are. I think J.Y. and many other top scorers just move on after they are sure that they picked the correct answer instead of checking every answer choice so they finish much quicker than I do. I genera…

@LAWYERED said: @LSAT_Wrecker said: I like the 7Sage predictor. Just remember, all statistical models break down when n=1. what do you mean? @LSAT_Wrecker means models are useless if the data they're based on has small sa…

@lolsat__ said: Thanks for the input! I'm looking at a semester's worth of classes. Hopefully LSAC gives me a specific answer. I did a semester abroad that was not calculated into LSAC GPA. I had a long email exchange with them about that b…

Hmm judging by how much I've been procrastinating my Personal Statements, I think you might be on to something.

Yeah I think you'll be fine, but regardless you'll have to write a C and F addendum. On another note, scantron machines nowadays are pretty amazing and they credit the darkest mark. So if you bubbled two circles, it'll only register the darker one. …

@sandypants said: I used about two pencils per section! I brought 12 pencils I think to the July LSAT, and sharpened the ones I used during the break. I love a sharp tip, and my pencils were actually 2B not HB so they are a bit softer. There's…

Personally think you should wait a cycle and get that LSAT up 5+ points like @BinghamtonDave said. You would then be looking at HYS admissions and be in strong contention for T13 full rides.

Congrats! That has to be one of the best feelings ever lol

@"Leah M B" said: @eRetaker That's good to note. I wonder if BR scores factor into that difficulty rating in LG? That's the main reason I don't pay much attention to analytics for LG. It's not that I have trouble with certain game types, but I…
-
It doesn't really make sense to me in terms of skipping around during LG since even if it's a level 2 difficulty game, it can suck up 10 minutes with tedious steps. One more thing to note is that the 7Sage difficulty rating is sometimes skewed a bit…
-
I don't know how tight your schedule is, but I've always done full blind reviews such that I go over every single question again during BR. I rarely miss questions that I didn't circle so it might be worthwhile to try doing full section BR so that y…

@"Leah M B" said: Great, that's super helpful. Honestly, leave RC alone. It's too tough to improve quickly in that one. You can improve, but it's a much slower process. Agree with @eRetaker that you should work on intensely foolproofing L…

@"Adam Hawks" said: @MissChanandler I disagree. The difference from a 150 to a 157 is 12 questions correct. Yeow! @lsatgodjk need to get 3 to 4 more right per section. I think you need to use the analytics to target your weak areas and del…

Quote from LSAT Trainer: "May your curse in life be that your hard work is constantly mistaken for talent." It's one of my favorite quotes precisely because it highlights the fact that accomplished people aren't a product of being genetically more i…

Somewhat possible, especially from 136 to high 150s since there are a lot of easy and medium level questions you can pick off in this range. However, I don't think November is very realistic since that only leaves you 5-6 weeks to fool-proof LG and …

Never took a diagnostic but based on how I was doing on practice questions, particularly LG, I probably started around low to mid 150s. Studied 7 months for 178.

Yeah I did a interview back in July, it was pretty chill. The interviewer is really nice just be prepared to discuss why WUSTL and why law. Other than that, the interviewer sold me on WUSTL very well so keep an open mind.

I diagram if there is a need for it. Fool-proofing LG allowed me to get a good handle on formal logic so I can diagram pretty fast on LR. I generally diagram 1 or 2 times every test for complicated MBT, lawgic-heavy Parallel Reasoning, and very very…
