@luongcody297 understanding what you can and cannot control helped me relax, sleep, and stay calm. You have studied hard, put in the work, and exhausted yourself preparing for this exam; you've done all you can control.
The content on the exam is out of your control. While uncertainty is nerve-wracking, you have taken the steps necessary within your control to prepare. You are not simply taking the LSAT tomorrow, you are attacking it. You've studied and created strategies to set the conditions for yourself to win. While you don't know the exact questions you're going to see, you are taking the test on your terms thanks to the preparation, not the LSATs. You're well prepared and should be confident in your preparation and yourself. You can do this.
This is so great. Really appreciate these kind words!
@hannaheaskew595 those are some great points! Thank you! Will definitely keep it then and just keep pushing til June!!

Feeling disappointed today - was scoring around the 160-163 mark on PT’s and logged in this morning to a 157 April test score. Will be retaking in June as I need a 160 at least for my target schools. This was my first time taking it, and I signed up for score preview. What are everyone’s thoughts on keeping or canceling the score? Not sure what to do! Also any tips on staying motivated to keep studying for another month??? Ugh!!!
I was scoring around 165-172 consistently and got a 160 on April. I'm not happy with my score because I know I am capable of scoring higher. However, I'm not cancelling my score because I figured that I either 1) do better on my next LSAT, or 2) GOD FORBID I get a lower score on a future test but cancelled the higher one. Also, schools can see that you have cancelled a score and so they'll probably assume you didn't do too hot anyway. There's no harm (in my opinion) in keeping the score, but there certainly is a risk of harm if you cancel.

I started studying hard for the lsat around thanksgiving of last year. On the February test, I was skeptical about how well I did and to my surprise I got a 162 (a competitive score at most of my target schools). The past 2 months, I had been consistently pt’ing in the 159-164 range so I went into the April test thinking I could maybe do a little better or at least show that the first one wasn’t a fluke. I initially felt good about how I did, so I was extremely shocked and disappointed to see that on my second test I got a 155... I don’t know what the fuck happened. Should I take it a third time? Should I cut my losses and just say it was a bad day? Any advice is appreciated.

Guys, I have now considered it a given that I won't be able to sleep well the night before the test day. Any previous advice on how to sleep tight before the test day would be much appreciated! Also, when is the June test ready for registration?

powerscore april flex podcast is up
I started listening and then went to the epi 81 - why is this admission cycle so competitive and my heart sank. The number of people scoring 175+ with the flex is astounding.
@natalienardo917 YES, i also had the Van gouh NA question. What did you think about the LR?
so for anyone with the engineering and grants LG game... did I misinterpret the curve prediction or are we screwed 😭😭😭
The games wrecked me. Came out of that test feeling so discouraged. Are they making it harder because it is 3 section instead of 4?

Thanks!

Do we have to do a new writing sample every time we take the Lsat?

@natalienardo917 @laramanbeck257 I had the same test as you.. I also found RC just weird. The passage was easy to understand but the answer choices threw me off..
LG was easy.
Did y'all have LR with earth and glycene, 70% consumer decisions and trade between two countries sort of Q's?
@shraddhachirania855 TBH I forgot most of the stimulus in LR. The one I do remember is about Van Gouh and the moon's position in its painting. And it's a NA question.

I hate volcanoes. All I have for them is hate. Jazz sucks too, and I hope everyone forgets the history of it. And I'm going to make it my personal mission to make sure no parks or roads ever get grants again...
Basically, I don't think I did well.
Pretty sure we took the same test. I found the Jazz RC boring but easy to understand and I also enjoyed reading about BC Parks so there that. Haha. I'm just going to assume I bombed all the LG.

RC--LG--LR.
RC--econ & law, Mexican murals, water & subsidies, F'ng birds.
LG--law firm, book shelves, (not sure what), and tours destination
LR--internet searches, cows, political spending,
RC was hard.
Overall Mehh.

I took it Sunday at noon, felt like the easiest LG section since the June 2007 PT and the RC was fair, but the LR had a couple of tricky ones. Overall, can't complain for my first test, expecting a 168-170 but hoping for a 170-172. Looking forward to the June test.
LG: Shelving books, giving tours, I dont remember the other 2
LR: IDR, nothing stood out except multiple disagreement q's tbh
RC: mexican murals, international water law/shortages, thieving birds, IDR
pretty sure I had the same exam as you. I remember encountering maybe 4 disagreement questions.
Same exam as you two
I took it on Tuesday

Did anyone find the RC (Native American art, wolves/dogs, Gaines, monopolies) kind of difficult? It was my first section and I think I was extremely nervous for it, but I think that it also felt harder than the usual RC. Contrarily, LG (piano/violin, mosaics, etc.) was super straightforward for me.
I had the same test as you. It was the last section for me. Somehow I scheduled a bad time to take the test because it was my bed time. (No pun intended) So my brain was literally jammed at that point and yeah, it was hard, if not exceptionally. I think the monopoly and Indian American art one were tougher than others. Had to rushed over last couple of questions. Otherwise the test went smoothly since the relatively easier LR and LG offset the difficulty.
Dude! What was up with those logic games?! To me, this test was like harder-than-average on LG and RC. Some of the answers were So similar! Blah! Has anyone felt like they did not do well, but ended up doing well? Last time, I ran out of time and guessed for a lot of my questions; this time, at least I made a reasonable, thoughtful choice for each "guess."
