@TRenato well good luck! I hope your score was better than mine!

I am waiting for my score tomorrow to decide if I need to test again but if I do I will be taking the October LSAT. I don't think that is too late but I would not go any later. From everything I've read in the 7 Sage Admissions study area, the admissions team will be traveling until October to go recruit at schools. So as long as you apply by end of October, which will when you'd get your score back, I think you'll be okay. But I would also have all of the other parts of your application complete so you can apply immediately.

Good luck! I felt I was doing really well until I got to the last section and I feel like I bombed it. I definitely lost track of my timing and left 3-4 answers blank. And since it was my only RC section I know it isn't the exempt section. I'm really trying to be optimistic that that did not bring my score down as bad I think it will. Fingers crossed!

@JacobBaska that's okay, thanks for your reply! I did not even consider it being the full amount overall. But that does make sense, especially with the larger amounts I was seeing.

LSAT · Do you actually review your wrong-answer journal?

I have a journal like notes app that I use, and I have it sectioned off for LR and RC. I almost never review my RC wrong answers since it usually requires rereading the passage to go over a single question and my time is very limited. I used the study plan and when it asked me to review my wrong answer journal I usually would.

@JacobBaska On the tracker, when it shows someone has received a scholarship is that amount typically per year or per semester?

@feedback what if you are a double major? Would you list those as one, or separate?

@JacobBaska what happens if you're 13 years out? Will they still expect to see an academic LOR?

When I took my last one in January I tried the noise cancelling headphones but after a few minutes my head would feel funny and I'd have to take them off. It was constant coughing and clearing of throats, little noises like that. I have to sign up for my June one and I can't decide if I want to risk trying to do it from home or risk dealing with that again.

@danjpeach96 Thank you! I've definitely seen improvements overall, especially with my BR. It harder for me because I have almost no time alone to study so I know that's a factor in why I'm not doing as well as I would like. I am getting a lot faster at answering questions and I'm able to identify some of the patterns even if I can't put it into words. I'm also working on learning when to skip question types that I waste too much time on. Previously, majority of my BR would be for incorrect answers and now a lot is just changing my answers or taking a little too long on answering. I'm never able to get through more than a few questions without having to pause for something so going straight through while timed has been my biggest challenge. But that's more to do with my family and work. This platform has been a huge help! Good luck in your journey and I hope it works out well for you.

If it makes you feel any better, I'm in a similar boat only older. I'm 36 going on 37 and studying to try and get into law school next year. I'll be taking the June LSAT since I bombed the January one. And since I have a home and kids and can't move, or go to law school near me, I'll be applying to schools that offer an online 4 year program with minimal site visits. Good luck! I don't think its as rare as one would assume.

I don't have any advice since I'm dealing with the same issues. But just wanted you to know you're not alone. I have been drilling non-stop and I do feel like that has help me a little with improving. I've still got two more months of that and I'm hoping during that time I'll be able to my scores up to at least close to my BR scores.

LSAT · QUESTION: Do you mainly use the written explanations (light bulbs) OR video explanations?
User Avatar
APBookninja
Tuesday, Apr 7

I use both. I typically use the lightbulb when I got an answer right but I realize I was wavering, or if I feel like I just need a little extra context. I use the video explanations when I get an answer wrong or I feel like the question just went completely over my head, even if I guessed correctly.

@kellymarie I bit the bullet and got myself an iPad to do my wrong answer journal with and I am absolutely loving it. It takes me far less time to complete and I am able to hide what I want so that when I review I can try again before seeing certain notes and the correct answer choice. I do like the template in the notes section on here though and I still use it.

@Kihla333 thank you for your experience. I was wondering if the trade off would be more beneficial. I know everyone is different but it still helps gets others perspectives. Good luck on your journey!

@Stas1973 my daughter has an art app that lets her add layers, so then something can be concealed just by removing the layer. Any chance it has something like that? lol Wishful thinking I suppose.

I just like to try the questions again with fresh eyes before I see the answer and see if I've grown my skills enough to get the question right. I am definitely making a paper wrong answer journal for now and writing out my explanations and highlighting/marking words or phrases that I might miss that make the difference in choosing the right ac vs the wrong ac.

I really appreciate your response. And good luck to you in your journey as well.

@J.Y.Ping thank you so much for that. I don't know how I never noticed that feature before. That is very helpful when I'm making my notes for the questions I've gotten wrong.

@Kihla333 I know statistics tend to show that writing things helps you to remember them better. Do you feel like doing it in excel is as beneficial as if you had just written it all out?

Are we using paper journals or is anyone using a note program on an app they like? I'm a pretty slow writer and writing them out is taking forever. I was debating on getting an iPad (which I would use for other things) and using a digital pencil to do a wrong answer journal. If I did that, I would, ideally, like to find a program where I could hide the correct answer, and my notes, until I want to see them (kind of like how you can press the button to show the notes during review here). Has anyone tried this?
