my practice tests were realistic too, didn't give myself more than a minute between each...

... was anyone else's score well below their PT average? like 10 points below? i didn't feel fantastic on test day, but wow this is kind of shocking. anybody else?

yeah apparently they weren't supposed to be released today and (fair warning) lsac allegedly said to someone that the score you saw may or may not be your actual score. so that email we received was a mistake, and the score you saw may or may not be accurate, just a heads up. it will be released tomorrow at 9am for sure (this is what i've been reading on the forums and twitter, take it all with a grain of salt)

I'm in the same boat! something's definitely going wrong here

thankful i'm not alone here!

yeah and i'm trying to call lsac, sounds like others are having teh same issue cause their lines are so busy my call won't even go through

and yes, my writing had been accepted already

I just received my email today that my writing sample had been approved. it took 9 business days.

i don't know if they'd notify you if your writing sample had been flagged, but i imagine that they would

Best of luck!!!

I feel the same way!!! When i finished the exam, i was so unsure of how it went. i felt more scattered and bad about it right after the exam, but not because of any one particular question or even a series of questions, i think it was just general adrenaline of that test.

But i'm in the same boat, about the whole not really remembering any of the questions lol. it's awful because i can't even like go back through my thought process to evaluate how i was doing - my mind just blocked out the pain lol. honestly, it's more of a blessing. that just sounds even more torturous.

Also same feelings on the exam, like it wasn't overly difficult but also not overly easy. i'm optimistic, thinking that its just a mild test, there've been plenty of those in the past (mild in terms of the LSAT, that is)

What i've tried to do during all of this is go through this thought process:

Did you get the feeling you were massively underperforming or being stupid during it? No.

Okay, so did you have one really bad LG or RC that just wrecked you? No.

Okay, how did you score previously? were you absolutely bombing PTs or problem sets? Not really, no (nerves got to me a couple days before but i wasn't bombing them)

Okay, so trust in your training leading up to this thing. It comes down to your judgement on test day and that probably has a lot more to do with the training you had leading up to the test for the months prior, which sounds like it was pretty strong for you too. you were hyped up with adrenaline which usually helps you a lot. Say it with me: trust in my training.

I know this feels torturous, I'm there with you! I'm saying a prayer for everybody on this thread - we're in this together gang!

@samanthagracebrown44 I'm really sorry to hear that! all i said was i noticed that lsac had moved the deadline for registration forward from what they had previously stated last month. is there a way i can still register and they said they could take care of it. I'm not sure what they would say this week though. either way, good luck!

@vshariati614 thank you! you just helped alleviate a lot of test-day nerves for me

@acquadiice10 just got off the phone with them- yes you can still register for november today! you need to call in tho. just google lsac customer service phone number and it should come up. a heads up, i called right when they opened and was on hold for 1 hour. Good luck!

I just realized this this morning too! i'm going to be calling lsac today to ask for them to register me, considering they changed their deadline and i have not signed up yet.

Hey @chilli.padi, this is a little late, but hope it helps:

E doesn't work for 12 primarily because both of the descriptions, really, are wrong. passage A doesn't merely "state a set of facts." its describing a scholars surprise as he uncovers this virtual system in which economic concepts are playing out. to state it as a "set of facts" is a much more narrowed view of the passage than the author intends. Passage B is not merely a "drawing of theoretical consequences," because they're discussing policy. for the purposes of the LSAT, discussing policy will not fall under the category of "theoretical consequences" unless they're specifically speaking abstractly, in which case it will be obvious.

i hope this helps!!!

Thank you!!! @godoycarla1773

all they say is to change it through your lsac account, but i am not finding where that is in the account

this is one of my new favorite posts i've seen, especially with the myth: "You aren't ready until you have PT'd your goal score 19 times and waited 6 years." I was dying dude.

But seriously, thank you for this!

Wow this is incredible - congratulations! Did you feel like taking so many tests back-to-back like that is what helped you the most? I've been debating trying this or just spending more time drilling instead. Did you notice gradual improvement using this method or did something just kind of "click" for you after you hit x tests into it?

@rcnguyen463 I actually had a very similar mindset. since RC takes so long to improve on, implementing strategies for improvement on it earlier seems logical, but i have really fallen behind on my RC problem sets so i'm gonna give that a try. Thank you!

@rrmradi209 Thank you! i really like that idea of focusing on timed sections instead of just full pts.

For context, my BRs usually take me about a full day to do and i'm usually scoring in the mid 170s on them, so that makes me think that speed is what's lacking. Timed sections might be the trick i needed here. Thank you!

@700184 Thank you! Personally i've been able to really focus a lot on my BR, and used it kind of for my untimed learning sessions, but i see what you're saying and it could be helpful for me to try to do more of them, outside of my BR time. Really appreciate the input here!

Really good to know - thank you! sounds like doing more drilling between pts would be more helpful for me then with each section. really appreciate the input
