I'm stuck in the 163-4 range and trying to get at least 165 or higher to 170. I previously had a tutor which was great but can't afford it anymore :( Feeling kind of lost in figuring out how to study on my own now. I know I have the logic down (high BRs) but my timing and test taking under pressure isn't the greatest. I'm thinking of just doing an hour a day of LR and RC untimed drills on my highest priority tags, BR, a ptest every weekend and BR... if that sounds about right?
I thought the main point was in order to weaken, I should find something attacking "minimally impairs freedom of expression." I assumed AC D could do this by saying the polls could impair the freedom of expression of sharing poll updates?
Thank you! The Nov registration deadline is approaching soon (10/1) so I wasn't sure if I should throw $200+ at it next week without knowing how I'll do on Oct. I'd also heard that even a little point difference in the high 160s-70 can have a huge impact on scholarships, but I'm not sure if that's verified?
Also I didn't know about the consistent scholarship awards until the waitlists, thanks!
I'm debating about taking the Nov LSAT (I've already taken Aug and got a 160, and am taking Oct...I'm still pt-ing in the low 160s and want 167-170). I don't think I'll get to my goal range by October, maybe just mid 160s at best. The most important factor to me for law schools is receiving financial aid. I'm just applying to regional state schools (Chapman, Pepperdine, USD, etc.) nothing too fancy, but it's pretty competitive in California. Is getting my score back in early December then submitting right away too late to receive substantial scholarships? Or should I submit after I get my October score and take Nov (you can wait right?)? Is there any other option around these? 🙏
I'm confused when J.Y. says its settling on the presumption that records are accurate. How are we supposed to know when to question the accuracy of records given? I feel like other questions have given similar info based on whatever resources, and I've never seen an explanation say we can question that.
How often do you guys usually take practice tests? I'm taking the August LSAT and just want to keep taking practice tests to reassure myself (getting a closer-to-goal score is so addicting) but I'm as equally afraid of burnout as I am of uncertainty.
I'm a second year in undergrad, graduating a year early, and am applying for law school this fall. I haven't really made any stand-out connections with any of my profs, and I'm afraid it might be too late now before applications. There was one or two that gave me great writing feedback in my first year, but I'm not sure if that was memorable enough, and I didn't really talk to them.
I also have two jobs- one as a law clerk at a small firm I've been at for 3 years and have a great connection with my boss; the other, I've been a typist for a year, helping on a law prof's research at my school's law school (T20-40 range), with whom I'm very friendly. I also recently got an internship at a national law firm; my supervisors are paralegals, and I don't know them too well yet, but we're friendly.
I heard that schools want at least one academic letter if you're applying right out of undergrad, but I'm not sure at this point if a meh one would hurt me? And if I should just go the full professional letter route? And which professional letters should I prioritize?
my mar lsat diagnostic was 161, i'm aiming for 170+ in aug and T50 schools.
Got it, that makes sense, thank you!!
