Cold diagnostic- 143

January score- 159

Still debating if I should retake in March because I scored more or less around my PT score, and I don’t know if I can improve in a month’s time. Can give only the March one, none else. Skeptic in as to scoring lower the second time around. I don’t have a great resume or softs, so I was wondering if I should use this time between now and June to work on that instead. I’m an international student and my grad score is in %age. I topped in my college, though. Advice appreciated.

TIA

My January score is 15x,Canceled scores for all my prior attempts. LSAC GPA 3.5x. International student but have a bachelor’s and master’(GPA3.73) from the US.

My husband works in NY so I really hope to get in Fordham this year. But based on my stats I’m afraid I don’t have much chance. Should I just apply for Fordham now and some other target (Cardozo) and safeties (Brooklyn,Touro ) to get a sense of how admission officers view me, and retake in March ?

Or should I just retake and not apply to anywhere?

My hubby suggests me apply to WUSTL to get a sense, too. Is there any point for me to do that? I’m obviously below their bottoms .

A bit about my LSAT situation: I have been studying since June 2017. English is not my first language and I burned a lot of PTs untimed. Prior to January LSAT my PT scores in December were: 164,168,171, (but they’re very old PTs) then my husband had to relocate so I spent a lot of time packing/cleaning/ watching my 2 yr old during holidays. And when I resumed to prep again in January my PT score dropped : 159, then 164 the week before test (these are recent PTs btw), but the week before test my son got very sick so I had to take care of him full time with very limited time studying, and I got sick on the test day. So I definitely think I can do better, but I also burned out all the new PTs and most of the old PTs, too.

Please give me some advice on what to do next! Thank you!

So i just received my Jan score, and I scored lower than my first two attempts (just as I expected).

Will this have a negative impact on my chances of getting accepted?

This is my second time taking the test, after I completely bombed my first with a 155. In my last 3 PTs I had a 163, a 164, and a 166, respectively. I know I can do better and am unsure as to whether I should postpone to next cycle. To add more to my dilemma, I have a poor undergrad gpa with a 2.8. I am 4 (27 years old, ftw) years out of undergrad with tons of valuable professional experiences and solid references, though I know I still need to get a good lsat score for a chance at a T1 or T2 university, and to get some scholarship money.

I am also in a very serious relationship and we are considering starting a family in the next few years. Should I wait for the next cycle or just apply now? Your input is greatly appreciated

Can anyone help explain to me what EXACTLY you are supposed to do on each step of the BR method.

This is my second time going through the CC, the first time I didn't use the BR method because I didn't fully understand what I was doing.

Also, can this method be used when doing quizzes, drilling problem sets, and doing untimed pts?

When should I start using this method?

Do you use your pre-phase to choose a correct answer or use it to get rid of wrong answers? Or a combination of both? Trying to find a new strategy for choosing LR question

Hello, everyone.

I'm an international student, and I scored a 159, 77 percentile on the LSAT. Can't retake due to lack of time and resources. I really don't know what to do next and anxiety is getting the best of me. The country I am from doesn't issue grad score as GPA, they give out percentages. I scored 74%, and topped in my class. Any suggestion is appreciated. What should I do next for scholarships, and can I even get into a good College with this score?

TIA

I just got my score which is lower than the score most of the supra brainy members of this community report as their first cold LSAT score. But hey, for me, I improved on the real LSAT by 5 points. I'm pleased and surprised. All thanks to 7Sage, and the really solid way in which the learning is devised and imparted. I improved the 5 points not having finished the CC, having started on LG a mere two weeks before the January LSAT. My score is still way lower than the median percentile reported accepted scores at the schools I'm interested in, though. Of course, I keep hoping that my pretty unusual background, résumé and life experience 'might' carry water, and because I'm way older than most everyone here, at 56, the idea of waiting another year doesn't sit well with me. But I also realize I won't know the deal with admissions till, who knows? Late spring? Summer? So, most likely I'm going to think about it over the weekend and go ahead and sign up for the June 2019 LSAT and just pretend I know that I'm reapplying. I confess I actually love the thought of properly completing the 7Sage course. I love this community. The braininess and the generosity (both) of its members. And I would swear by the course. I half want others not to know about it, for it to be our secret, but of course, I tell everyone and anyone I meet about it. Thank you, JY, thank you all the 7Sager who with your comments and explanations make this learning journey so rewarding and so fun!

I just got my LSAT score and I've already applied to schools. How long will it take LSAC to resend the report?

Should I email the schools and let them know my scores have posted? Asking because my application status for the schools says incomplete.

My account expires early March but may need it for a little longer for the March LSAT. Anyone know how to extend access?

Thank you

The suspense is killing me for tomorrow's release! Anybody else going crazy waiting?!

So, I scored a 146 on my november LSAT with about three weeks of intense prep. Obviously the score is crap and I plan to retake the LSAT with a target score of 165. I took some time off from studying and started studying intensely about 6 weeks ago with plans to take the March LSAT. My highest PT so far is a 152 and I have about 45 more days of studying. I would ideally like to start law school in the fall. Should I cancel my March LSAT registration and plan on taking the June LSAT instead OR can I make that much of a jump from 152-165 in 6 weeks? Perhaps I could get a private tutor and nail it in 45 days. Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

Let's assume total COA will be the same (edit: negligibly different). I know the numbers from LST, but I was hoping I could gain some more anecdotal input or data from other resources.

My goal is big law, particularly NYC, but I'm also extremely open to working in LA or SF. I basically want to practice in any major city, except for those in Texas.

I think I will be fine on either campus, so which school would better help me reach my goal?

Id appreciate any input :)

Would it be wise to br just the logic reasoning section? Its the only section I have finished completely in the curriculum. My only hang up is that by doing that im not getting a feel for the entire test.

Nothing I can do about it now except cry silent tears. The person's first name is missing a letter (so Wayne is now Waye). I'm hoping no one notices.

Lesson to others - CHECK EVERYTHING IN LSAC ACCOUNT. Proofread EVERYWHERE, not just your essays. (sigh)

Just thought I'd share this really weird article about someone who's about to become human toast.

First lesson: don't lie. It won't be pretty.

Looking for a virtual study partner. :)

Any advice what I should be looking for in my 1L summer internship? Thanks!

Hi,

I'm retaking the LSAT, & I have 2 powerscores and quite a few books of prep tests from last time. So I was wondering if it was worth it to get the Ultimate Plus as opposed to the Ultimate, since the main difference seems to lie in the prep tests and I already have many of them. There are also more section explanations, though. If it weren't for the fact that you have to pay the lump sum in one go instead of on payment, I would probably just opt for the Plus. Thoughts?

Do you review/revisit old problem types or lessons in the CC while you're still doing the CC? I feel like I should still be practicing problem types I already learned while I'm still going through the CC so I don't get weak on the strategies learned. Is this a good idea or should I just focus on finishing the CC? How do you go about review? Do you have one review day a week or some time each day?

Reading a bunch of posts recently about law school prep, I realized that I don't really know how to study. This sounds weird for a person trying to get into law school, but it's just my reality. I suspect that the readers on this forum know what they're doing much more than most, and was wondering if you can share some of your insights or hacks on how you memorize and study?

I've check out apps like quizlet and scribd, courses like larrylawlaw and the coursera law introduction, and they seems really helpful.

My current plan is to take notes on paper during class, and then synthesize my notes into an outline on my computer.

What do you guys think of my plan so far?

Lately, I have been feeling a sense of discouragement. I am losing focus and I am having trouble reading. as predicted, my confidence is lacking as well. #helpme

This started playing in my head... Am I going insane at last?

Hi everyone!

I recently started my LSAT journey and am registered to take the June 2019 test. My diagnostic was a 152, and I am looking to score 165. Looking for someone/group of people to keep me accountable and help each other through this!!!

Hi

I just learned about this app and I want to go to Harvard or Yale law school. I’ve not started preparing for lsat yet as I’m graduating in summer. I wanted to know how long did y’all take to score 170? What approach you took? How many hours a day you study? Any good sources?

I would really appreciate your feeedback
