I would say cancel. There is no benefit to having a score potentially in the 140s on your record when you have a 158 on there. You probably filled in a whole page's worth of bubbles twice to get an extra 4 questions bubbled in. I mean, statistically…

There is an old (resurfaced) thread that JY made on this topic that you should check out.

There's a long-running thread on this that you should check out

@LCMama2017 when everyone starts talking about getting the same topic, it's a "real" topic. Let's say you got two RC sections, one with elephants and the other with tigers. If everyone on here got the passage with elephants, the one with the tigers …

Glad you're cancelling. There's nothing good that can come from seeing a score you're not satisfied with on your record. I actually withdrew from September, so I'm right there with you! Also, I have a group message going for people who are intereste…

I will add that if you can get through the LR and LG parts of the core curriculum (DO NOT skip LR lawgic translations or LG will be very difficult), you could probably bump up to a 150 without too much difficulty. If you were somehow able to study 6…

Are your digestive issues medically documented? If so, I would postpone the exam and get accommodations. I'm not sure if it's too late for you to get accommodations for November, though.
-
Honestly, it's going to be hard to hit 150. Do you have to take it in November?
-
@SomewhereBetween120and180 I mean, you can do some stuff in the car or earlier in the day, but not right before the test.
-
I would try to see if you can approach the questions after reading both passages. If you're forgetting too much or getting confused, try reading one passage and then looking at the questions... and then, of course, go to the second passage.
-
I agree! It's worth taking the time to see what works best. Also, you may need a different strategy for comparative passages, so keep that in mind.
-
Especially knowing that the first few questions of the first LR section are likely level one (not always!), it's a good idea to slow down. Read each word in each answer choice as if it was the hardest question on the test. Give yourself permission t…
-
Oh, developing a good skipping strategy is so important! Even if you skip one question on each passage, and really spend your time on the other questions, you're at -4. That cuts your wrong answers in half. I would try practicing with different skip…
-
To quote JY, "When in doubt, make a chart". Otherwise, just brute force your way through each answer choice.
-
I'm in the same position as you and just withdrew from the September test. There's no reason for me to shoot my confidence down when I wind up with a score way lower than what I want.
-
Yeah, I'm going to agree with the general consensus here, which is that your brain cannot fully process the CC in under a month. It's like cramming for your first crazy biochem exam and then expecting to remember everything on the final. Anyway, eve…

I like to do the NY Times crossword to warm up my brain without stressing over LSAT things. The last thing I want to do before attempting a full-length PT/real test is to bomb a practice RC passage, logic game, etc.
-
To echo @NotMyName, "no" is negate necessary, and "not" is clearly a negation. So technically, you'd translate that into /A --> /H. The contrapositive of that is H --> A. If I think about the negations as "cancelling each other out", I'm pron…
-
Slow down when translating your rules. You want to be confident and accurate. I make mistakes like that ALL the time. I'll read "Jack" and write "L" instead of "J". Why? No idea.
-
Is your problem with time or accuracy?
-
One thing I have done when time is an issue is to skip the questions that tell you to ignore a rule and replace it with a new rule. They tend to take up the most time.
-
Warmups might be good, though you can't plan on doing that on test day. Do you think it could be from confidence errors? I tend to get overly confident on questions that seem very easy.
-
Being a high-achiever as a human, I think I'm especially prone to stress, anxiety, etc. In all honesty, I'm a little nervous about handling the stress of law school.
-
Do nothing. Seriously. You've learned all you can, and not burning out on test day should probably be your priority right now. You got this.
-
This is the first Labor Day weekend I haven't worked since 2010 (retail, ugh), and I don't even know how to act. But yeah, BRing and drilling seems to be the plan!
-
I'll just say that one thing I do every once in a while is essentially stalk myself. I use the Facebook feature of viewing my page as it would appear to the public, and look through EVERYTHING-- likes, pictures, quotes, my timeline, etc.
-
I did the same thing-- twice! I was originally scheduled for February but I got a really bad concussion after Thanksgiving (hit my head 3 times) and couldn't start studying again until May. I forgot pretty much everything and restarted the CC. I was…

Thank you! As if I need another reason to love 7Sage...

I'm a total perfectionist, I have a strong work ethic, and people believe that translates into me being some kind of genius. So when I tell people that I'm not doing well, they think I'm full of shit and that my standards must be out of control. My …

Well when do you have to request a hand score by?
