I’m looking to submit everything tonight. My essay is probably off the normal route of delivery but I feel it’s the most accurate way to portray my desire to pursue law. Would anyone want to review and ensure you feel it is appropriate?
I went -2 on LG and on LR I somehow missed questions 8 through 16 (every single one). I had to have mixed up numbering. Ended up with a 153. This was my first time, but still Incredibly frustrated. I needed a 158+. January is too soon I feel. Gonna wait another cycle. Eff man.
The 9th?! I thought it was this morning
Hey all, this may seem like a stupid question but can someone explain what the curve does in terms of scoring, specifically that is. I just used my raw score conversion after each PT. Is the curve what would determine those 1-2 point changes? If so, the curve then doesn’t seem like that is that big of an impact as people are implying. Thanks for clarifying
Haha I don’t know. But this is gonna be a depressing Saturday I have a feeling.

Feel more and more hopeless every day thinking of those logical reasoning sections, anyone feel the same way? :( Were they especially hard or was it just me...?
I feel the same way. For me it was like when the proctor said begin,I just was reading but not really understanding like I would be in PTs. It was just like running purely on my subconscious. It was strange and I think I did poorly on the LR. The LG and RC was much easier.

Haha yeah - thanks a lot. I always read those comments like prepare for the worst, but I didn’t think I needed to practice taking the test with one eye closed. Just a suggestion for all you out there who wear contacts, try a section with only your non-dominate eye!
lolololol didn't get to bed until 430 am annnnndddd only gets to use one eye. i wore conacts during the test. but i honestly think if i were in your shoes, i would just be like fuck it and quit. or just keep both eyes open (more comfortable than keeping one closed) and read in a blur. so kudos to you for holding it down during the sections.
I had LR, LR, LG before the break and the second LR was what I think is the experimental and I was actually so close to getting up and leaving. Then I did the games and felt I got through it well then feel like the second half was better than the first. But definitely a brutal experience. Just trying to minimize the stress of thinking about how to proceed studying. I never did the CC I just worked through The Trainer, so I think I will go with a full 7Sage course, take my time, and go for 170+ for next September.

I had 3 LR sections - during the first section, on about question 12, my contact fell out and I took the rest of the test until the break with my left eye. I'm actually more concerned with how many people are saying the mining game was difficult - makes me think I might have thought it was too easy and completely messed it up. Oh well, most likely going to have to retake anyways!
Great. 4:30ET and I’m wide awake.
Okay thanks everyone. So when you suggest using the PTs/sections as diagnostic, then what would be used to drill? Previous problem sets?
Taking suggestions on the following dilemma:
I started studying in late June - I worked through 1 lesson per day of the LSAT trainer, did the prescribed drills, and completed that in about 2 months. From there I have done mostly timed sections (all of 72-81) and 62-68; however, I have only taken approximately 5 or 6 full length exams. I started at a 143 cold diagnostic and my scores are 156, 154, 158, 161, and 154. I got logic games down to avg -4 (some later PTs killed this average with the miscellaneous games). I feel confident there now. I do not feel confident in LR although I feel much more prepared than I did 1 month ago.
Here's the dilemma - I am taking the test Saturday. My goal when this all started was to get a 162. I really would like to start law school next fall and not wait a whole year; however, I absolutely know I am capable of a significantly higher score than what I will get on Saturday.I really think I can get 170+ if I did the 40 plus tests took all the time, but is it worth waiting another year? I am 25, turn 26 in March, and a life underwriter (risk selection for a big company) so work is very draining - lots of reading and critical thinking throughout the day. So, studying has felt rushed and stressful. Money is also a big factor in this equation due to lots of undergrad debt from a private institution.
If I take the nov test and continue to study for the January, do you all think that 10ish weeks would be sufficient to get to the 165 mark? Obviously I am nowhere close to the prescribed 40 PTs though. So say I'd do 1 PT per weekend for 10 weeks and some sort of light drill work during the week on LR. Do you think that would give me a good shot at 165?
This is incredibly scattered and non linear - forgive me for that. I'm in full stress/evaluation mode.
Thanks for feedback.
