yeah i got waitlisted because of that score (fall 2025) and never made it off. I suspect it was primarily my uni grades that kept me from getting completely rejected (grad 2024 w great distinction). I wrote the LSAT again this past jan and expanded my applications. Good luck my guy. You should take the lsat again and bump it up even if only a handful of points as it seems law schools like to see improvement and they don't frown at someone trying to do better

yep i struggled w this on the jan lsat and lost points on that RC section. i know that is where i lost 5 points off my usual pt score and i am going to relearn RC in case i have to take the exam a 3rd time should i fail to make it off the waitlist at my school of choice again (never made it off waitlist for fall 2025 and now im in this situation).

my guy i used to do that all the time- even worse yet was when id pick the right answer but then come back to it later (out of lack of confidence and mistrust in myself more than anything) and then erase the right answer and pick the wrong one. it was so annoying. all you can do is keep practicing and not go back and erase an answer unless you know its wrong- if youre iffy, leave it. overtime, youll gain just an innate ability to pick between the last 2 answer options correctly. oftentimes comes down to word choice or scope, ive noticed- or drawing on a subtle detail that just barely makes or breaks. good luck my guy

lol yep thats me. ill get around 8-10 questions wrong but then catch almost all of my own mistakes before i hand it in and the time crunch is off. I feel like i have the intellectual capacity to write this exam but seriously need to hurry up so i can check answers before the timer goes since there is no such thing as blind review on the test day

thats a big improvement babe dont get discouraged. you are headed in the right direction. dont give up!

I have been doing this since the dawn of time and i have been reviewing these questions substanially and learning to trust my initial judgment. Sometimes i pick the right answer and move on, come back at the end to check my work and on those questions where i've narrowed it down to two options like you have just described, I hesitate, feel insecure and end up erasing the right answer and picking the wrong one.

Use your intuition- do not overthink it and talk yourself into picking the wrong answer just because you are not confident
