We need to know your score breakdown. Also, I was able to get a 20 plus score improvement, but this came after little over 2 years of extended study. It may take you faster, or it may take you longer to get there. Especially in the beginning you sho…
Great score increase. With a 178 BR, I would take your game to the next level and push to come closer to that 178 score. With a 175 plus and some good work experience you shouldnt have too much trouble getting into T6 schools.

And more holidays to be ruined waiting for law school exam grades, and Bar results. Also even more to be ruined by phone calls from the biglaw firm partner telling you to that a new deal opened up and they need your help.
What is your score breakdown like? I do believe that everyone should strive to maxmize their LSAT potential as much as possible but it should be done so within reason. Tutors like Graeme (founder of lsathacks) mention how on the LSAT you literally n…
Not that retiring early is inherently bad but why dont you want to find a job that you want to do as long as possible? There is a reason why many become depressed after retiring. Having work or projects gives you a sense purpose but its definitely n…

I really hope Spivey's prediction of next cycle holds up. I wonder why he thinks next cycle will be less competitive though, it just seems strange because of the huge amount of applicants this cycle…

Aren't we all looking for that ROI? Of course we are. My point is that it'd be foolish to attend a high rank school that's going to put you $150K+ in debt just because certain reports reflect g…

I recall seeing an interview with a Columbia Law student on Youtube. He was an opera or drama major and he said that a couple of his peers in law school were in the arts as well. While this case is certainly anecdotal, I mentioned it so that you won…
When you feel like you are flustered, close your eyes and take three breaths to calm your nerves. You need to be at peak focus to go through LSAT questions efficiently. For LR, if you still find yourself struggling to grasp what the stimulus is sayi…

From my recollection, July administrations aren't disclosed, meaning that you won't be able to get your score breakdown. Unless you are averaging 3 points comfortably above your desired score, I wouldn't take the July exam. You won't get much feedba…
Before you decide to attend law school, I would highly advise you to at least talk to lawyers and take law classes. Preferably, you should also take some time off after undergraduate to work as a paralegal so that you can see the day to day grind of…

Retake especially since you bombed your best section and since LG is the most gameable section in the LSAT. Figure out what when wrong in that LG section. Maybe you misdiagrammed a rule, perhaps you didnt make a key inference
