I really appreciate the honesty and straight feedback. thank you! I think you’re right that I’m still early in the process with drilling and consistency, especially with full timed practice.

I’m trying to step back and make sure I don’t rush just because of timing pressure, and instead actually build a solid foundation. I’ll seriously consider your advice about a longer prep timeline and possibly bringing in more structure.

Thanks again for taking the time to lay it out clearly.

Aww this actually is helpful, thank you for sharing that. And congratulations on your pregnancy 💛

It really helps to know I’m not alone in feeling the pressure and imposter syndrome.

@YosefWolff thank you! I will

It’s better to take the time to be truly prepared than to rush and regret it later.

Thank you, I really appreciate this.

New goal getting more comfortable with taking more PTs before I take it again.

And I love what you said about being delayed, not denied. Definitely helped me shift my mindset. I just want to make sure my next attempt is with better preparation.

Wishing you the best too! We’ve got this!

Thank you so much for taking the time to write all of this out. I really appreciate it. The scholarship perspective especially gave me a lot to think about, because I hadn’t fully considered how much timing and score impact that side of things.

What you said about pressure and short timelines also resonated with me. I think I might be putting that pressure on myself because of my age, but realistically I do want to put myself in the best position possible long-term.

Your example with Duke and Michigan was really helpful too! It definitely opened my eyes to how important it is to apply early and broadly, not just focus on a couple of schools.

If you don’t mind me asking, based on my starting point (around a 138 practice test), what kind of timeline and score range would you realistically recommend aiming for before applying to maximize scholarship opportunities?

🙃 Confused

retake in June or wait until next cycle

Hi everyone! I’m currently waiting on my LSAT score (released next week), but I’m trying to plan ahead and would really appreciate some guidance.

My goal schools are South Texas College of Law Houston and Thurgood Marshall School of Law. My last full practice test was a 138, but I didn’t take many full tests after that and focused more on studying.

I’m in my early 30s and a mom, and I think I’m putting pressure on myself because of my age. I’m debating whether I should retake the LSAT in June and study intensely for a chance to start Fall 2026, or take more time to properly prepare and apply for the next cycle.

I’ll be working part-time starting next week, but I will still have time to study consistently.

For those who have been in a similar position, would you recommend pushing for a June retake or taking more time to build a stronger score? I’d really appreciate any advice or experiences!
