@ekatekuzn772 I studied for around 1 year. I was scheduled to take it in November of 2020 after studying 6 months, but did not feel ready, so I pushed it back to June, which helped quite a bit.
Congratulations! I know there are a lot of people out there who are going for 170s (I applaud them), but for me personally 160 is a great score! Congratulations! Well deserved!

just finished a bit ago. lr felt normal, rc was fine and 2 lg games tripped me up which sucks. but i think i did ok. so glad it's over. hoping my score is decent so i can just move on from this test forever. even if it's not decent i think i'm done lol. the most challenging thing i've ever done with working full time and doing a masters program. best of luck everyone!
Bless-- I am prepping for the August test while working full time and caring for a sick parent. It's kinda refreshing to see someone on here who is like "I hate this and I can't spend any additional time on it."

This was my first time taking the LSAT and I got a 144 after PTing around 154... Honestly trying to figure out whether or not to cancel since I did the score preview. I'm seeing a lot of posts that caution against cancelling, but I know that I wasn't performing my best and that I can do much better. I will definitely be retaking later on with more study under my belt, but I wanted to know what other people's thoughts were!
I actually had similar experience. My first take was 8 points lower than my average but I decided to keep it because it was my first take, the school would only see my improvements from now on. And keep in mind that if you use your cancel for this exam, if anything bad happens during your next take ( really hope not ), it will be bad to cancel it again IMO. So it might make sense to "save" this cancel since it's just your first take. Lastly, when I was debating if I should cancel it or not, my friend said that when schools look at "cancel", they most likely know that this is not a good score, so really I don't see much benefits cancelling this one. Best of luck!

Personally, I would cancel this one. 10 points below your average is a pretty big gap. You will likely do much better the second time around. With a score gap that big I would only keep it if the score was already within the range of my target schools. If that score is out of target school range, then it’s really not worth keeping. Whatever you decide, best of luck on the next one!

10 under what you were PTing I would cancel, but that's me If I was you I'd keep like a 151 or above but if you study you can certainly do better if that's what you're PTing
this still feels a little unreal... i went from a 147 diagnostic to getting a 162 on this lsat (first time taker) the amount of mental breakdowns ive had the past month leading up to it... im so relieved i dont have to retake it

A 156 after 6 months of studying for my first LSAT. I don’t know if I should be proud or concerned with my score.
I agree with everything else that was said. Also don't forget that the LSAT isn't the only number they take into consideration. If your GPA is solid that will also help you.
Also we all are coming from different places and have different goals for ourselves. If a 156 is on par or even better than what you have been PT'ing than you should be very proud! You can't get lucky with this test.

If you can honestly you worked as hard as you could before the exam and did everything in your power to be in a good mental state the day of the test, then own your score!
@x1amp989865 how long did you study for?
Went from 135 diagnostic to 160 on June lsat, first attempt!!! I think I'm done with lsat now

I've seen some schools that are more than happy to consider that score. I guess it all depends on where you want to go.

@mor3440334 thanks so much!!
One whole year of studying and 3 official LSAT takes later, managed to score a 166 on the June exam! I am highly considering a 4th retake to try and break 170, as I am shooting for a T14 school, but I am afraid of jinxing it and ending up with a lower 4th score that may weaken my overall application. At any rate, so relieved to have made it to 166 from a 144 diagnostic score. Heartfelt thanks to JY and the whole team at 7sage!
It was my first time taking the LSAT, and I only had a month to study. Not sure if I should be excited about a 140, or not. I mean, I have no idea what the basic "You showed up and took the test" score is.

@mor3440334 hey I saw that they offered you a retake. If i had some proctor issues as well would I be able to see my score first then decide if i want to retake/ get a free test in August? Or did they tell you you’d have to decide without seeing your score?
I just saw this, so sorry I didn't see it earlier! No, if you chose to see your score you won't get the free option. But, if you paid for the score preview and are a first time taker you can cancel your score within 6 or 8 days of seeing it. Law schools see the cancel though, so it's up to you if you think the score or cancel looks better. One of the lsac workers told me you can try asking for a coupon for the August one after seeing your score and explain the situation, but it's unlikely they will. Hope this helps, I'm sure you still did great!
argh. I did ok, but worse than I expected
scores are out, log into your account

The first RC passage was arguably the most difficult and convoluted I've ever experienced. It was very abstract. I was expecting a one or two-star difficulty passage to start. Interestingly, lots of folks here saying RC was normal for them. Did anyone feel like they had a similar experience to me?
Also, I didn't know a harder passage could come first. I thought RC passages came in order of difficulty always.
The RC seemed very challenging for me, but perhaps because my dumba$$ did them out of order (my game plan was to do the passages with most questions first). I only had 5mins left to do Inuit and was pissed because I really guessed and those would’ve been easy AF to answer had I gone in order. I loved the LG section and felt ok about the LR

Took it earlier. Felt really good about LR as usual. Surprisingly RC felt pretty good. A little scared about LG. The first, third and last games weren't too bad, but for some reason, I just could not process something about the classes in upper and lower halls game. Had to guess on a few of those due to time.
I did great on that one (at least I think I did). I just drew out every possible scenario real quick. The museum game is the one that tripped me up. I was sure I had it all right and then the last question had me realizing my lineup was wrong and the previous five questions were probably wrong based on that. Oh well. This set of LG was definitely the one to get a -0 on, and I probably screwed that up. I felt like all the games would be labeled no more difficult than a 3 here on 7sage.
Feel pretty good about the test, but LR is always a toss-up. I've thought I did pretty well only to see I missed 12-13 on LR. So hopefully July 1 brings good news. That LSAT was definitely easier than any PT i've taken in the leadup to this thing.
I had the other LG section (the one about truckloads and presidents/secretaries/treasurers) so I have no idea about the LG w/ museums and economics, but based on what many others have said and Powerscore's perceptions on the exam, I feel like there'd be at least one game in that section that'll be rated higher than 3 stars on this site. Again, I have no clue how these games went specifically, but too many people thought this section was notably difficult, and even Powerscore inputted that this section MAY broaden the curve by 0.5-1 point, such that it doesn't sound so easy that all the games would be rated 3 stars or lower.
Sorry that it didn't go to your planning, but keep in mind that there may be a chance (based on Powerscore's curve predictions) that your LG section may broaden the curve!

What a wild ride this has been.
I also had the Japanese Bells LR/Econ LG/Brittain RC
Honestly, I'm feeling good. Like.... really good... It worries me a little. I know for a fact that I got -0 on LG as I had time to go back over the stimuli and my rule translations and all flagged questions.
RC felt ridiculously easy compared to the PTs in the 80s I've been taking. The passages were long and dense, but I felt like they took it easy on us with the actual question difficulty to compensate...
I had the same RC section and it's funny that you mention that part at the end about them taking it easy on us w/ the questions because I felt similarly. I was even scared that I missed something after completing my test because some people apparently thought this RC was very challenging. But based on Powerscore's prediction of this RC section being a reasonable section that did not make the curve any more lenient/broader (they predicted this RC section would +0 the curve while they thought that the other RC section w/ the copyright passage was more challenging, and hence broadened the curve -1), I feel like our suspicions regarding the rigor of the questions may be accurate. We'll see I guess!

Prerequisite how the hell was I supposed to set that crap up. Almost made that game waste more of my damn time. Smh LR? Wtf? They didn’t have to make it so obvious that they were trying to make the LR much harder on purpose.
International Test! Took it this morning June 18th KST
RC felt like normal difficulty, like any standard 80s RC
1.Brittain’s Change from Pro war to Pacificist (moderate-easy)
2. Nunavut + Inuits and Government (moderate-easy)
3. Judicial Laws by Courts (difficult)
4. Carnivorous Starfish and Effect on Ecology (medium - difficult)
LG felt pretty easy.
Trucks + North/West/South
President/Secretary/Treasurer Committee Game.
LR felt okay, but not 100% sure if my intuitions are reliable. Nothing crazy.
It had a question about people's average raffle entry guesses, bird fossils found and about how they were likely to have been gliders, appreciating the use of poetry, 1800s houses and buildings in certain districts, governments promoting equality,
I don't remember much else about the LR as it was a blur but it felt easier than 85/86 LR.
Overall, unless it was one of those tests where you don't even realize you are getting DESTROYED, my version of the June test was straightforward and fair.
