December Applications

Hey everyone,

So I have a 165 official score and a 2.88 GPA. I can apply now or take the November LSAT and apply in December. Are these 2 months worth waiting for a potential score increase or will all the scholarship money be given out already?

For context, I had been PTing in the 170-174 range before the September LSAT which I got a 160 on. I am leaning towards taking the November test.

Same here, got a 160 but was consistently PTing 170-174 the month before. I registered for November. I am hoping September is just an aberration.

Hi Everyone,

Just finished the September LSAT and do not feel confident with how I did. I was PTing at 170-174 range in the leadup and I am worried the score will come back lower than this. So my question is can I submit applications to law schools in October as I originally had planned and still take the November LSAT? I heard that LSAC will send your updated scores to the schools you already applied to.

😖 Frustrated

Score Fluctuations

Hey all,

Wondering how to prevent score fluctuations. I was doing LR sections and consistently scoring around -2 with highest most recently being a -0. Then yesterday i decided to take a full PT without the experimental (PT 158) and scored a 164. My RC score was the highest it had ever been but my LRs were -6 and -4

I am taking the June test. Any advice on how to prevent these crazy swings and burnout. Last time I took an official LSAT I had the same problem where I was scoring pretty high and then one PT was super low and from then on I was stuck at the super low end score. Probably burnt myself out because I was so stressed about the low score.

Academic Letter of Recommendation

Hi all,

I need some advice on whether to enroll in my old undergrad school as a non matriculated student for the sole purpose of obtaining an academic letter of recommendation.

I have seen some posts where really strong applicants who are lacking academic letters of rec are being rejected or waitlisted. Currently I'm PTing at around a 168 and have a 3.0 gpa. I graduated in 2023 and cannot get an academic letter. I am confident I can get strong letters from my boss and supervisor at the law firm I work at, but I am leaning towards taking a summer class as well to have at least the one academic letter.

I wish to make my application as strong as possible to possibly get a full ride somewhere or even hopefully get accepted into a T14. I will be applying this upcoming cycle. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Link assumption questions?

What are they and how do I get better at these? Really confused, the platform makes no mention of link assumption unless I am just missing it

Net effect and link assumption

Hey guys, I find i struggle with these two concepts. Is there a way to learn more about them aside from just drilling this question type?

Printing PT

Hi yall, is there an option to print whole PTs. I only get the option to start and import PTs but no option to download a PDF version.

This has been by far the hardest question type so far. I am just not undertsanding. Every answer choice looks really good. Can someone break this down for me in a different way maybe?
