I wrote the lsat writing sample for my initial take, and I thought it was fine. Not my best, not my worst. Nothing glaring, but I have the time and energy to retake if it will differentiate me from similar gpa/lsat applicants. That said -- I would love to wait and see my lsat score before I go ahead and rewrite; if I did great, I won't rewrite. If I did the same, then I would like to.
Does anyone know if I'm able to write an additional LSAT writing portion after receiving my score report given I have a writing sample already on file, or do I waive my ability to rewrite once score-release passes?
I'm also under the impression that if I decide on tuesday, for example, to rewrite and I have one written portion pending, but the other from last year reviewed that I will still see my score. Right?
Appreciate any feedback!
Just FYI -- I sent a similarly disgruntled email asking for a phone call back to explain these changes, and they responded to me with an explanation of how to use the highlight feature... like girl. That is so clearly NOT what I was asking for.
@SerinJ @JTF2005 Thank you both so much! I've pretty much only been drilling 4+ difficulty questions, then find myself frozen when practicing a section on what ends up being a 1 / 2 level question. TYSM for the affirmation and practical advice! 🙏
Hi everyone,
I wanted to send this out into the void in case others are in a similar boat. A consistent issue (?) I've been having is making the occasional, but still annoyingly frequent, silly mistake. Most often, I've identified my mistake is not "zooming out" on an easy question and seeing that the answer is so incredibly obvious, and instead getting lost in the sauce of critical thinking. Also, I'll occasionally identify the wrong conclusion in a stimulus and then realize during review that I was incorrect, but it was just a goof rather than fundamental misunderstanding.
I'm a high scorer and would like to focus my energy on the handful of questions I find actually hard, rather than keep getting disappointed by my silly mistakes/overthinking. Does anyone have any tips or drill recs to help me from overthinking questions and getting them wrong?
Thanks!
@Kevin_Lin Adding my comment here too before I peace out of 7sage for the cycle. There was one LR section that was very straightforward and encompassed all the things I expected on the test -- some (simple) conditional logic, tougher flaw/strengthen/weaken questions, etc. The other two sections, including what was an exp. of course, had a notable increase in "math"-y questions and frankly a lot less conditional logic than I wanted. I didn't think it was significantly harder or easier than past PTs, I just thought it was different? My biggest gripe is that when I took the test in February, there was a LOT of formal, conditional logic that was not represented in past PTs, but this test there was barely any formal CL that I felt I needed to diagram.
