How would I calculate mine? Would someone be willing to help me. My general GPA wasn’t very great.

If I knew I wanted to go to law school in undergrad I would have stuck around longer to raise my cumulative before I graduated.

I had a mental health crisis one semester in undergrad due to a bad reaction to antidepressant medication, and tried to petition my university to remove them off my transcript with no luck.

I’m hoping my CAS gpa is better.

I'm retaking the LSAT in February and am looking for someone to meet with a few times to study with and talk through some of the material. I'm located in Waukesha area but am willing to travel to Madison or Milwaukee area, or perhaps other places to meet at least a few times. Please message me if you live in the area. Thanks!

Hi all! Does anyone have any wrong answer journals or LSAT checklist templates for curriculum V2 (for those taking the LSAT after June 2024)? I would love to keep track of my answer choices and progress and just started the logical reasoning section. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE!!

This is the one I was previously using, but no longer works since I switched to V2: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gpOWHerIw8RBo1PbgIJtN9wIpIKpTl3SFClYzaEBsIo/edit#gid=0

Proctors: 4-5 women. One was very particular about not having water bottles on the desks for some reason. Don't think anyone got called out for taking too long. They actually seemed helpful when people had questions.

Facilities: 3rd floor of the law school

What kind of room: Med-Lg size lecture hall

How many in the room: ~100

Desks: More like big tables. Plenty of room for any papers. Lots of space between you and the person/people next to you.

Left-handed accommodation: Since they were tables it wasn't really an issue

Noise levels: Fine, didn't have any issues at all.

Parking: Had to pay but it was a couple blocks away and there was plenty of parking.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: ~2 hours

Irregularities or mishaps: None

Other comments: I think this is a great spot to take the test. Of all of the things I was worried about, none happened.

Would you take the test here again? Yes, actually I am in June.

Date[s] of Exam[s]: 12/2015

Is anyone in the Houston area studying for the lsat? If so, would anyone be interested in making a study group?

Okay so I have gotten above a 170 twice now, (171 and 176), which is cool and fun when I see the score, but should I pay attention to them in analytics? My average score is a 162, and with the exception of those two scores I haven't broken 165 in any of the 20 tests I've taken.

The proctor went a little fast for me. She kind of rushed the paper work in the beginning, and before the start of a section she would start the timer a little too fast for me to be able to let my brain catch up at the end of the section. The facilities were good, the room was relatively well lighted, the clock was within a distance where I could easily discern the time, and the tables which were long wooden ones in rows with 2 to 3 people each were relatively comfortable. There were about 40 people in the room. I did not see any left handed accommodation but of course that was also because they were just desks and you had room enough to lean to the left or right in order to take the test, whichever your comfortable with. Noise level was good and minimal. I got a ride there so I'm not too sure how the parking was like. It didn't take long for us to start the test after completing the initial paperwork. Less than 20 minutes. There was one mishap, which was during my break when one of the test takers in front of me was called outside with his test because he had been in possession with a digital watch which the proctor failed to notice despite the fact that it was on the table. I'm not sure I would want to take the test there again, it was too far and everything felt too rushed. Our group was the first to finish the test and things seemed slightly disorganized. I took the test there in December 2014.

Hi there!

Looking for others with advanced degrees studying for the June LSAT and aiming for 175+ and top 5 law schools. It'd be good to find other "non-traditional" applicants and keep each other motivated through this long process. Send me a private message. Thanks!

Working my way through the CC, and right now on LG. Should I do the board setup and questions before watching the videos? It feels more active learning to me that way whereas just watching the videos would be passive, but I also don't want to take on bad habits. Any advice?

Are there any upcoming admissions webinar Q&A sessions?

Proctors: Either the proctor could not read, or it was the first time she read the LSAT instructions.

Facilities: The restrooms are close by. The building is old but it has everything.

What kind of room: Big lecture room(s).

How many in the room: 100+

Desks: Well you have chairs with tablet arms. At lease enough space to put your answer sheet there. I spread the test booklet on my lap and put my watch on the chair next to mine.

Left-handed accommodation: Didn't pay attention but I would say no.

Noise levels: Minimum

Parking: Ample parking close to the building.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: People were still arriving after 8:30 am. I would say we did not start till 10 am.

Irregularities or mishaps: I sat in the front row and the proctors whispered on and on during one section - in the end, I had to stop them.

Other comments: The test center is not at St. Johns Law school, but one of the main lecture hall in the university. Your LSAT instruction sheet will not reveal this till one week before the test. The proctors are not familiar with this test so they are lax about the procedure. You can bring your cell phones to the test center - they will just store the phones in a white plastic box. The bad thing is that one phone went off during the test...

Would you take the test here again? I was reassigned there (from Hofstra). I don't want to take it again at this place even though I got my highest score.

Hi all,

I am trying to figure out the best way to spend my last couple of days (Thursday and Friday) before I sit for the test on Saturday. Originally, my plan was to use Thursday to drill a bunch of individual sections from different preptests and take Friday to do some light practice (nothing timed, barely any work tbh) just to keep the material fresh in my mind. However, I'm now getting conflicting advice from some friends who I have been asking.

I took my most recent (and what I presumed to be my last) 5-section timed exam last night (Tuesday) and did the best I've ever done on a preptest. Obviously I was thrilled, but now I'm wondering if it would be in my best interest to take one final preptest in conditions that will be more similar to the actual test (in the morning, in a relatively quiet space, etc.). I have only taken one 9am preptest at this point since I work full-time (I'm taking the next 2 days off for test prep). Should I just try to ride on the confidence of my most recent practice test going into test day?

Additionally, I have heard some talk of "warming up" on the day of the exam. I would love to know if this technique has worked out for others.

Any and all advice would be tremendously appreciated! :)

Looking for a study buddy in Shanghai that is also planning to take the June exam. Send me a private msg!

I've read a lot of horror stories about the last several LSATs taken remotely following the switch to Prometric. I'm trying not to worry. I know there could be sampling bias on discussion boards toward those who had bad experiences vs those who had zero issues.

Does anyone have advice to prepare? Additional items to have/remove, questions to ask, room requirements, etc.

I took the LSAT previously with ProctorU and didn't have issues, but it sounds like things have changed. I read the official guidelines on LSAC and Prometric, but I've also heard some contradictions (which could lead to interruptions).

Thanks so much in advance.

Hi everyone! I am from Ontario and am applying to Canadian law schools. I got my score back from the October LSAT and it was a 154 (my first attempt). This is lower than my practice exams as I consistently score in the 160's. My question is, do you think I should cancel my score and try again in January? Also if I do the January exam will Canadian universities still consider me for admission? Thank you so much for you help, I really appreciate any advice:)

Hey everyone. I am doing the core curriculum and have noticed a lot of my answers I get wrong are because I simply read the answer choice wrong / argument wrong because I was so nervous to get it right within the time limit, even when I do not show the time elapsed. I plan on taking the test the second time in 2024 because my mind absolutely blanked during the actual test. It was like everything I had learned went down the drain and was like I didn't spend months studying for the test. I would greatly appreciate it for some tips to help this from happening again, whether it be for drills, etc. Hope everyone has a great day!

Proctors: There were 2, and they were very fast and quiet throughout testing.

Facilities: Very nice and clean

What kind of room: Small classroom, not a lecture room

How many in the room: About 20

Desks: Very nice, all separate desks with a push in chair

Left-handed accommodation: yes, but it wasn't needed, all desks were separate

Noise levels: Quiet other than many people got up for a bathroom break and came back just in the first 3 sections, and you could hear the other classrooms reading their instructions

Parking: Very good, no real trouble finding a spot

Time elapsed from arrival to test: Test did not start until about 10, a lot of people to assign to classrooms

Irregularities or mishaps: None

Other comments: Pretty good testing experience, proctors were quiet, nice, professional, and considerate

Would you take the test here again? Absolutely

Date[s] of Exam[s]: October 2011

Hi everyone, I know this has been mentioned before and I even commented on a post about this but is it normal to score better on one of the 2 LR sections every time on PTs? I consistently get around -5 for the first section and -8 on the second. Is the second section generally harder or is it perhaps fatigue?

Also am I right in assuming that the experimental section on the real test isn't guaranteed to be LR? At this point I am kind of hoping two LG section come up as they are actually kind of fun. Still making small stupid mistakes on them but hoping I get more accurate with more practice.

Saw someone post about nyc and thought it was a good idea. Anyone going to the law school forum in Atlanta on 10/18?

I keep scoring around 147-155 for PT and around 165 for blind review. For some reason just can't overcome the timing, any tips?

i did it already but now i heard about the new core curriculum for the august test and beyond. i want to take the test after august so i will be taking the test without logic games

I'm taking today off. I've been studying around 9 hours a day for a while. I think I'm going to turn on some pod casts and clean my place while I play with my little dog. Hope all my fellow LSAT warriors are doing great! I'm not one to participate too much on the threads however I have absorbed a lot of advice from all of you all. Thank you.

Also, if there are any veterans in the DFW area that could use a good paying job which allows you to study at work send me a pm.

Good luck everyone!

Good luck to some on Saturday!!

I just withdrew from the upcoming test and I decided to apply next cycle (I did not hit my target score and decided to fold). I'm looking to work with and interact with LSAT go-getters and ultimately improve with one another. I'm also looking to construct a study plan with someone's experienced insight. I can provide all the necessary details of my lsat adventures to someone that extends a hand.

For the Saturday writers: Stay strong! Stay focused! You got this! Believe in yourself!

Proctors: There were 3 in my room and they seemed a little unsure of the rules. They took it seriously, though.

Facilities: Clean, nice, desks were a little small (when I took the test at another facility there were tables with 2 people per), but all in all its a nice college campus.

What kind of room: Typical college classroom. Lots of chair/desk combos, but the classroom was also quite large. Maybe sat 40 people?

How many in the room: I'd say around 40

Desks: uncomfortable (hard) and just a little too small chair/desk combo

Left-handed accommodation: don't know

Noise levels: the environment itself was quiet, but one girl had a coughing fit, a guy up and left in the middle and made a considerable amount of noise. You'll get that anywhere though.

Parking: Plenty of it! It's a college campus, and there are a couple of parking lots attached to the building.

Time elapsed from arrival to test: Between sign in (which was done inside the classroom, unlike my last experience where you signed in and then were walked back to a classroom) and test start it took about 20 minutes.

Irregularities or mishaps: A couple noisy things, but mostly pleasant.

Other comments: It's a nice campus, and I think I prefer the classroom setting due to familiarity.

Would you take the test here again? Yes
