Thanks for you input!

I understand. You're going to take an important test. It's not the most important test though. That one is called the December LSAT.

Just kidding. This is likely the last LSAT you'll ever take.

I'm only trying to remind you that for something this important, there are second chances. That's not true for a lot of other important things in life, so that's something to feel good about.

For most of you, you already know what score you'll get. Take your last three recent properly administered LSAT PrepTests (e.g., 76, 77, 78) and average your scores. You'll get plus or minus 3 points of that average.

There is nothing separating you from that score except the mere passing of a few day's time.

You are as prepared as you can be. You have already seen everything those crafty LSAT writers will throw at you and you've amply demonstrated your ability to respond with craftiness of your own.

Saturday will be just another PT day and the September 2016 LSAT will be just another PT. PrepTest 79, in fact, when the LSAC releases it a month from now. And how different could that be from PT 78 and PT 77 and PT 76 and on and on and on.

You are ready.

Even for those few insanely difficult curve breaker questions. Every LSAT has them. Every student who has ever taken the LSAT before you has encountered them. You have encountered them on your PTs and you will encounter them again on Saturday. Do what you've always done: skip. Keep moving. Maintain your rhythm.

And may the force of logic be with you.

Hey guys,

Just wanted to ask if you're supposed to include your CAS/transcript GPA on your resume. Also, which GPA should you use to fill in the GPA blank in the "Education" section of the application?

Thanks!

So my timed PTs are much higher than what I got on the actual test, and I'm at almost 100% accuracy untimed. Do any of y'all have some quick tips and tricks on going just a little faster (mostly logic games), or just how to replicate PT scores on the actual day?

Well, it's that time again. Another test has come around and for many of us, that means it's time for all of this hard work, passion, and ability to pay off. We've dedicated months if not years of our lives to this test and to the opportunities it can lead to. Just remember that your LSAT score won't be earned on Saturday. You've already earned it. It was earned in the curriculum and in the problem sets. It was earned in the dozens of PT's and BR's and group study sessions. It was earned on that one question you thought you'd never understand but that you refused to let go until you saw right through it, and it was absolutely earned on endless LG fool-proofing drills. So I'm not worried about Saturday, and I'm not worried about any of you either. We've already proven ourselves. Saturday is not when all this happens, it's when it ends. And I know that everyone of us is going to show up and achieve our full potential.

So on Wednesday, whether you need this:

Should I BR until I get 180 on each PT I took?

I'm going to stop checking all LSAT related discussion boards starting tomorrow so I just wanted to wish everyone on this forum taking the September test good luck -- we got this :D!

Hi guys had a question regarding or. To determine whether or not it is the "inclusive" or "and" interpretation we use context. For exclusive interpretation we are to use a a biconditional indicator to show one or the other?

Correct me if I am wrong.

I've noticed that I have been getting some questions wrong based on the vocabulary used in questions or answers. Does anyone know of a list of commonly used advanced vocab words that I can study? I just took PT19 and "erroneous" made me pick the wrong answer. Thanks! (I am a native english speaker, just neglected to learn SAT vocab in 11th grade)

I am currently in the middle of my applications and I have ran across a bit of trouble in the Character and Fitness portion of the applications. I just need a bit of advice and feedback on this portion. If anyone could please PM me so that I may ask a few questions and get some advice I would greatly appreciate it!

Hi guys, I am having a lot of difficulty with tough conditional logic questions. When it comes to translating these from english to lawgic I just mess everything up. What can I do??

Hi guys,

So i decided to study until i average 170 on lsat. Do you think anybody can do this with hard work and dedication? Or do you believe some people are not made to hit 170?

Just took my first diagnostic since I started the course on Monday ( the recommended one by LSAC). Boooooyyyyy am I humbled.

153.

-6 LG

-10/-11 LR

-8 RC

Why am I posting this? I guess I would rather have it out there since I was a bit disappointed. 170 is the goal and I am 2 and a half months out from December/ 4 and half from February.

I thought I would have gotten at least a 160 considering I have been averaging about 75 to 80 percent on the Curriculum timed questions. Still, even an at home simulated exam felt a bit different. Those connections weren't coming as easily as they should. That's why we practice. Had to vent. Thank you for giving me the space to do so :)

I finish all of the sections in time and feel like i have a pretty good understanding of how to approach the different question types. RC is my strongest, the LG, then LR. any advice?

Hi, so I have already graduated from a college 5 years ago and now pursuing master degree...I'm thinking to work again for a few years after I finish master degree and then take the exam. In this case, do they see the GPA from my college and master school?

I heard somewhere if the GPA is more than 10 years old, they don't actually see it.

Is this still true today?

Thanks

I purchased PT 76 and 77 from Amazon, but the format is completely wrong, has anyone successfully used Kindle versions of PTs to practice?

I have done 20↑ PTs and old ones a long time ago...

I kind of basically did all of PTs, but not enough reviews.

How much can I improve in 2.5 month? I just need to review&re-do questions I missed&improve timing I guess...

I'm not sure how much I can improve, maybe none?

I was wondering to take Sept or Dec.

I'm not in the range that I want to but...if I cannot improve a lot, maybe I should just take Sept one?

I am filling out applications on lsac that require "traffic violations and parking tickets". Being 37 and have lived in many different places, I have no way of recalling all of these! I have even gotten traffic citations in the mail for up to 5 years prior that I didn't realize I had.

Also, I never paid a parking ticket on a Navy base in San Diego (circa 2010). Nothing happened. Can they tell? I have no idea even who to pay for that..it was issued by some agency that I also do not recall the name of.

I guess I should delete this post.

I just wanted to thank @"J.Y. Ping" and 7sage for helping me in making my dream come true. This journey started with an alarming diagnostic almost a year ago, and to say I lost all hope is really an understatement. I know my story would have ended quite differently if I had never found 7sage—but thank god I did. And I am happy to say I will be attending University of Virginia Law next year; perhaps I'll see some of you there!

I was wondering if there was a time limit to how long we had access to the pdf disclosed version of the exam that LSAC sent to our accounts if we took the exam on June 2016. Is there also a limit to how long we have access to the score report?

Hear me out. My situation is a bit different than most of you.

I'm not trying to get into a top school. In fact, I'm not worried at all about getting accepted to the top school in my state - the University of Oklahoma. I want to work in Oklahoma, so there's really no need for me to go elsewhere. That being said, the top 25 percentile LSAT score of OU is a 159 and I've been averaging a 161 but haven't taken that many PTs (8, to be exact).

My goal is to get a 167-170, which I know is not possible for next week's test, so I will be taking it again in December regardless of what I decide to do next week. Anyway, I'm aiming for that score because I already have quite a lot of undergraduate debt and I would like to receive a substantial scholarship so I won't have to slave for a big (for Oklahoma) law firm in order to pay my student loans - I am more interested in public policy, but don't really know exactly what I want to do yet (don't try to talk me out of law school, I have my reasons, but I don't want to explain them here).

Anyway, all of that to ask - in my situation, would it be smart to just take the test next week because there would be little pressure and I could get a good feel for what test day is like? Or, since I'm fairly certain I will be able to get at least a 165 in December, should I just wait and have one score?

I swear I am not dumb, but I have been practicing and learning since May. I just took a full test this morning and score was 147.. i usually range in the 155 range. I feel horrible considering my goal was to be at 160-165 range. I read books, took preps, reviewed my mistakes, learned from them, I'm a 4.0 senior at University of Michigan. Every LR section I miss 5 questions due to running out of time.. almost every Comprehension section I rush to finish all 4 and make many mistakes. Im great at LG but because of limited time I end up with a bad score. I honestly feel hopeless now especially since I haven't seen any progress in the past 4 months. what can I do? where to start? how to regain energy after such an upsetting score.

My last PTs are confusing me. They have been 167, 156, 161, 164, 165. I'm shooting for 168 or 169. So the 156 was due to me rushing through the exam, I've been trying to figure out how to pace myself and finally got it with this last PT 167. When I take the appropriate time on each question and read well on reading comp I do better. I employed this strategy and got the 167 on PT 74. All of these recent PTs have been in the 70s. I'm just nervous if that 167 was luck... It didn't feel like it because I really focusing and taking the time to catch small details but with my variation in scores I'm nervous coming up on the September test.

It's that time of year, and I'm wondering if past test takers can regale us with some stories or tips for test day.

I'm a first time test take myself but I'm mentally preparing for some details to go awry on test day. I know how proctors can be overly strict, overly careless like forgetting to give us a 5 minute warning, etc. I'm also aware that I may be too anxious to sleep the night prior, so I'm trying to fix my sleep schedule now.

When this happens, I hope I can be like a duck when wet: just have it all slide down my back.

What are some stories, good or bad? What are some tips, like what are you planning to eat the morning of? What's it like to show up on test day? I'm sure the test doesn't actually start at 8:30am sharp since people have to sign in. But what's the typical starting time? 30 minutes after, or even one hour?

I was wondering what thoughts or ideas you guys and gals have on prepping during the last week before the actual LSAT. Should I do more prep tests and blind review them slowly, just do timed sections? Would like to hear some strategies or ideas you have.

Thanks
