50 Shades of Eileen Gray

Especially with September 2016's spectacular passage about Eileen Gray's work, I was wondering what strategies you guys had with dealing with difficult passages and remaining calm. I was feeling confident after the first passage, but my focus was totally shot after that passage and I let one bad passage mess up my groove.

Should I just give up?

I've taken the LSAT 3 times and I've done horribly.

1st LSAT- 147 (fresh out of college)

2nd LSAT- 153 (1 year out of college)

3rd LSAT (this past Sept)- 144. (3 years out of college)

the sad part is I actually studied for the Sept. one and it's the worse score I've gotten. I'm starting to think maybe law school is just not for me....Should I give it one last try?!????

Dec or Feb?

Yep, I'm retaking. Scored 6 points below my average, now I'm debating between retaking in Dec or Feb (applying for this cycle).

I really do think I peaked in August and I saw my PTs drop in September. I felt burned out 3 weeks before the test and even took a break but it wasn't enough.

So in deciding between Dec and Feb, what do you suggest? Dec is only 44 or so days away but Feb might cause another burnout episode.

Hello,

I took the September LSAT and I'm thinking/hoping that I scored well enough to get into my selected schools. However, I am really trying to do well enough to be heavily considered for scholarships. My plan was to keep studying and take the February LSAT, but I recently was told that taking it again then will be too late to be highly considered for scholarships at most schools.

This brings me to my questions as to if I should take the LSAT one more time in December, or in February?

Thank you!!!!!!

David's essay edit

Hello,

I have a question about a course including unlimited editing.

Does it really mean unlimited unlimited editing?

So we can ask him to edit as many times as we want?

Does he check the content only or will he correct grammar also?

Thanks

Addendum

Can someone read my LSAT addendum? I'm going to keep it really brief but I just feel like my score differences are shocking enough to puzzle admissions.

I took the September LSAT and will be getting my score back hopefully today or tomorrow. I don't think I got what I wanted though so I am signed up for the December test. How do I go about applying? I don't want to apply and then get rejected for my September LSAT before they see my December one. Should I apply and contact them to put my application on hold until my December LSAT comes back?

I'm registered for an LSAC forum in November, but it turns out that's also a really good day to go visit the campus of my number one school. Does it make more sense to attend the forum, or get the one-on-one time on campus?

Hello

If I want to take December test and use the score to apply...and if I take Feb. one too,

can we submit the Feb score as well?

Some schools I'm thinking to apply close the application on Feb, so by the time Feb score is up, they are no longer accept application. (kind of the reason I need to take Dec one first)

In this situation can we still tell them that we want to submit Feb score too?

Honestly I can just take the test once due to my condition now, but I may need to take another depending on the score.

Anyone has any idea?

Thank you

Old LSAT Score Problems

I am re-taking the LSAT in December. I have a score from when I took the LSAT in Dec. 2011. I was wondering if there is a way where I can submit a "completed" application, lets say in November, WITHOUT my old LSAT score that is due to drop off in Dec. 2016. I understand law schools take the highest score, but I don't want the 2011 score to even show or come up. All your thoughts & recommendations would be appreciated!

Car Accident

Hey Guys,

I was wondering if anyone knows what I can do regarding the December 5th LSAT. I was scheduled to write; however, I got into a terrible car accident 3 days ago. Does anyone know if LSAC is willing to reimburse me for the cost or at least move it to a later date without penalty?

Any feedback is helpful. Thank you for taking the time to respond.

lower backpain...

Hello, sorry for posting multiple posts.

I tend to have lower back pain due to the Lateral curvature.

Can we move our body and neck while taking the test? I'm afraid it will be seen as cheating...

What do you do when you get tired during the test?

Thanks

Where is everyone applying?

Just curious where people on this forum are thinking of applying to for this fall! I'm hoping to apply to Vanderbilt, Baylor, Georgetown, and Alabama if I make the score I'm shooting for! Wanted to see where everyone else is hoping to attend!

Some background information, I am a ELS students and some of the PT 70+ arguments are really convoluted for me (language wise) so I am trying to get into the habit of not reading the part of LR argument that starts with although as it is not an essential part of the argument except for agree/disagree questions. Do you think it is a bad habit? I have not been burnt by it yet. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Hey 7Sagers!

I just had a quick question for all the fellow non traditional applicants. I graduated from undergrad over 6 years ago (by the time I apply it will be 7 years) from a state school with a low GPA. Although I don't have any earth shattering or life changing reasons for my performance, I've applied myself in my professional career and have done fairly well. I plan to include a diversity statement along with my personal statement but I'm still debating whether or not to include a GPA addendum. My plan was to take the December 2016 LSAT but at the risk of rushing and needing to do really well to combat my poor GPA, I decided to apply next cycle and take the June 2017 test. I'm currently averaging 25 hours of studying a week, on top of my full time job with the hopes of scoring in the high 160s - low 170s, I've done my research and have heard so many mixed reviews on GPA addendums in general so any help would be much appreciated!

February score for 2018

I know the LSAT score is good for 5 years so if i take the LSAT on February and wait to apply for the year after, is that kosher? or is it a bad move?

Thanks JY and crew!

Your Course got me well past where I needed to be. You took this slacker from 159 diagnostic to 167 actual. Now I'll freeroll September to crack 170 and add scholarship $$$. A point a month and we are there.

And Everybody taking LSAT should be aware that Indiana Tech (who?...good question) will reimburse you for LSAT and app fee if you merely apply there. Basically A school that will pay you $175 to apply.
