You should drill LR question types, untimed. Don't move on from them or check answers until you're "sure" you have the correct answer and justify every single choice in writing.

Your application is in so I'd say there's probably not much you can do. The only thing I can think of would be to retake the LSAT and bring up your score. Sorry, I know that's not what you want to hear.

I'm a big fan of timed individual sections. It takes a lot of the pressure off compared to a full 5-section exam. Grading a single timed section was sometimes like gambling, in that scoring it gave me a pretty huge rush as I began to have confidence…

If you go to a top school, in all likelihood it will be your friends who end up socially intimidated by you eventually. :]

No, please don't. Schools want your professors to write your LORs for a pretty important reason.

I would usually skip a question if I couldn't get a firm grasp on what it's asking me to do in approximately a minute. If it was a really long/tricky/wordy question, sometimes I would skip after reading a line or two because I know the question is a…

On my test, proctors literally had to bump into the backs of our chairs to make their rounds, which is something they did often. I was blown away that it was happening. lol Oh, this was at Suffolk University Law School in Boston, MA. I stayed at th…

Personal statements can make you. They're more likely to make you than break you, I'd say. If your numbers are a little low, an (keyword:) exceptional statement can get you into schools that you may not expect to gain admission to based strictly on …

@LSATcantwin said: You can have a 180 LSAT and a 4.7 GPA but if you're a terrible individual do they really want you? lol Yeah. lol I'm jk of course but not really. ;P

Yes, I did. 169 LSAT 3.8ish GPA I received that in the first week of September. Not sure if schools can see transcripts if they're on the CAS? I think they can at least see majors/minors.
