@karko2525 said: @kilgoretrout I'm sorry to hear you had a similar experience. It truly sucks when you feel like you did well on an exam only to find out you did worse than your usual practice exams. I am definitely going to focus on the secti…

@adimanm1 said: @karko2525 Yeah I am planning on it tomorrow. I've heard that they are not authorized to change anything over the phone and it's best to email them. I did email them and I hope that this can be resolved either by my own school …

If I were you I would not apply this cycle. As someone said above, one month really isn't much value for the price. And I'd be hesitant about even retaking it in November because they reinstated the limit on how many times you can take the test. You…

Wow that seems really unfair and like a mistake on LSAC's part to me. They misread your transcript and that resulted in a really big change. I'd definitely go to your school first and get a letter from them or something and then bring it to LSAC.

@VerdantZephyr said: @kilgoretrout Thanks for the encouragement. I think your advice is pretty good. I think, for me, I am not too worried about bombing an exam because I have been so consistent, and getting more practice under timed conditi…

I was in the same boat. Spent six months studying full time and scored lower than on all of my PTs, even though I walked out feeling good about it. I suggest you re-evaluate your study strategies, find out what was working and what was a waste of ti…

@mbmeowww said: I worry about structure too. I think one of the biggest reasons I failed so hard on the August LSAT was because I was trying to self-direct my studying too much. 7sage is helping a lot. Thank God for fee waivers. Other tha…

@lilpingling said: I find White Claw and junk food to be particularly helpful. But seriously, I found that I was having a lot of trouble with a stagnant score and lack of improvement, so I decided to give the Loophole in LSAT Reasoning a …

I did not so great on my LSAT so I'm not sure how good my advice is, but I would say mentality is the most important thing for you right now. Don't be nervous about it, be excited for it, and remain calm. The morning of my test I did some logic game…

Yes that's all you'll need (plus writing utensils, maybe water). You'll be asked to show your ID to the camera and to take a photo of your face, then your proctor will write all of the room scan/body scan instructions to you in the chat box. You'll …

@OldLadyK said: I attended a law school's admission forum a few nights ago and something they said really stuck with me....better to show up as your BEST self, rather than early. The real question is, do you think you can get a higher score? …

I'm also applying with a low GPA - around a 3.2, aiming to have my second LSAT score above a 165. Let me say that looking at reddit or other law school admissions forums has made me feel terrible about my chances and I wasted a lot of time dwelling …

@VerdantZephyr said: If there are schools you want to go to apply this cycle. You won't lose anything but the application fee. You already know it may be a long shot, so don't stress over the results, but apply. If you also have work experi…

I feel you, HARD. I was also studying full-time for this test, for six months, and August was my second time taking it. My diagnostic was a 150 and I scored a 158, which was very unexpected for me since my PTs were around 163. I also felt good about…

As someone who will be retaking for the third time in November (first take was July, cancelled due to major connectivity issues with Proctor U, second time was August) here is what I can offer: a) How far off from your target score is the 154? When…
-
I'm so happy to see someone with a similar GPA as me on here While I unfortunately have no insight to offer here, can I just ask why you think GWU is such a reach? Yeah your GPA is low but if you're PTing in high 160s and retaking in November, wo…
-
Hm. This is tough. I wouldn't contact any of them, first and foremost. Are you certain the other letters aren't as strong? I think your professors would know that they're supposed to toot your horn here and make you look good to law schools, so they…

I also see a significant difference in my BR + timed scores (which is ultimately a good thing!! because BR shows our potential) so I'd also love to know

@"RC LAWYER" said: Is there a way to see the breakdown on our score, like how many LR were missed, LG, and RC? I know I can't view the actual test, but I'd like to know the breakdown if possible. It's undisclosed unfortunately. I'd love to s…

you're not alone. i was also blindsided and very disappointed by my august score. im going to take a day or two to regroup and will sign up for november. this was my second time taking the test, the first time i had severe technical issues (july lsa…

congrats! how long did this take you?
-
Wow we are in the same boat. My scores/targets are a little lower but I'm honestly devastated by my score. I was consistently scoring higher and thought the test went pretty well. I've spent so much time and money on studying for this test and my sc…
-
Yeah mine was suuuuuuuuuper slow
-
Just got my score. I’m honestly devastated by it. I thought it went pretty well and I consistently scored above that in my prep tests. I need to raise my score by at least 8 points in order to even be considered anywhere given my low GPA... ugh. Wit…

@VerdantZephyr said: I have absolutely no expertise in this, but I would be inclined to agree with LS-AT Walker. @"LS-AT Walker" said: That is a tough one. I would say just read your sample and decide if you think it is a fair represen…

Mine got approved this morning and I wrote it on the 6th. I didn't show both sides of my paper at the beginning so I think that's what took a long time. They probably had to manually review mine, which means they saw me panicking and swearing loudly…

Things having to do with race/ethnicity can really be so tricky, especially when people are mixed race/look a different way than people would typically expect. I would say you'd still be counted as a URM, because that part of your identity has still…

Interested! I've really been struggling with keeping my head above the water lately. Application season + retaking the LSAT is stressing me out
