Hello,
Yesterday, I received my official June 2026 LSAT score, (147), and lets just say I am both disappointed and frustrated after studying for some months. But, I am not surprised. I didn't test well in the center, I didn't read well during the Reading Comprehension section and honestly, I don't think I studied correctly. Well, not at least until the last month. I had been scoring on my practice tests a 152, and while not great, it was enough to get me into my choice law school in this upcoming cycle.
I have a 3.89 GPA, I published a scholarly legal research article through my University Undergrad Law Review Journal and won several awards because of it. I have volunteered every weekend for 4 years, started my own non-profit, and worked a full-time job in special education where I have directly organized dozens of programs with understanding the compliance requirements in my states. I hold an Associates degree with honors.
I have never been a good standardized test taker, but I do not want that history of poor test taking to limit my opportunity for law school, and perhaps more importantly scholarship money that is on the table. I am unsure where to start.
