Testing is expensive and inconvenient. If there's any chance at all you could get the score you want, you could test just to see if you get there. Otherwise, I don't know about you, but I'd feel kind of demoralized if I got a score back that disappo…

Retake, hope for that waitlist to work out, and reapply if it doesn't. If LG is where your score is dragging, that is learnable. So learn it, and go kick some butt.

The legal job I want puts me in competition with lawyers trained internationally. To maximize my odds of being hired, I really do have to go to one of the best schools in the US because I'm not just fighting for a job amongst American peers, but Ame…

It's clear you know most of the things you need to know for the test, the issue you're facing is time. If you practice (PT and then BR, PT and then BR, and repeat), you'll get much faster. You need to practice these questions enough that your knowle…

@jenmar18 said: (re applying is not an option It really may be your best option, though. Don't go somewhere you hate, even if it's free. Law school will be hard enough as is, you don't need to come in feeling negative. I'm also really imp…

Yes, you have to submit it. To not do so would be lying about your academic record, which isn't good. You can submit a written statement in your application explaining any extenuating circumstances that might've led to those grades being lower than …

I met a lawyer who worked on the trials for the Rwandan genocide during his 1L summer, which was awhile ago but also strikes me as the most interesting thing a person could ever do during that time

How exciting! Go you!!! Go find some ice cream or pizza or such

"Doing A will ensure that B happens" means if A -> B. B could happen without A, but meeting the condition of A will require that B follows.

I'm going to echo what's been said above: put law out of your mind while you make this decision. You are a full human being, not just a lawyer-in-training. I went into undergrad thinking I would be an anthropologist, managed to not take a single ant…

Instead of counting your chickens before they hatch (or pondering what you're capable of before you experience simulated test conditions), do your first PT and see what happens. Take three hours to sit down and do it, and maybe your score will blow …

There are so, so many things a person could do in this world. To be in your twenties and to look forward as if none of them could hold your interest for 18 years is pretty sad to think about. Echoing a question upthread: why do you want to retire s…

I would love to see a BR call for international folk who might not be at their best at 7:30am on a Wednesday morning. If anyone else is down for that, please let me know and we can try to set something up. As it is, I'll try to make it but there'll …

Congrats!!! That's amazing!!! Could I also get a PM of your stats?

I absolutely, totally, thoroughly hate science-y passages. Getting an art or writing passage is like a small treat, it's what I read in my spare time anyway

I started Six Four yesterday and have found it so addictive that I've demolished 400 pages of it so far (200 left ! It's really hard to get English books where I live, so I'm BUMMED that I burned through this one). I worked as a bookseller for awhi…

I'm with team take a break. A real break. A break where you're not doing essays or working on different sections or even scanning the forums (really!). You do yourself no favors when you're spending energy being frustrated at the test. Your mind is …

Good morning from SE Asia! It's currently 75 degrees right now as the sun rises, but it'll hit 100 by afternoon. This is a picture I just took of the school where I work

Hi! Excited about your dedication to study for lsat especially given your logistical conditions A 10 point jump is not out of the question given 12+ weeks but it is dependent on what PTs you are using as your baseline for exposure to the test…

I'm looking for what opportunities there are for travel/interesting internships, how liveable the city is, and how classmates seem to treat each other. To that last point, I attended a college for undergrad that did not have grades. At all. I haven…

Thanks, all! I'm strongly debating whether to plan for June or September on this one. It's good to know that nobody's telling me that the right choice is neither. For a test this year, I would have to request days off from Fulbright in advance in o…
